    Owning/running two cars

    If your going to own two cars I'd get a classic/something unreliable not two new cars. I used to hate when I had to cars. The cost of insurance etc kept shocking me, then again I'm cheap. Mot plus there the unexpected running costs of a car brakes servicing etc.

    1.6 / 1.6 rsi

    Forget it to much wasted money 172 engine it for much less and there more potential power there for less money. For the money to get a turbo kit with the right bits done you could get close to buy the bits needed to make a 280hp VAG 1.8T engine with 6 speed box which has even more potential...

    There isn't any diesel Clio forums, the foreign C,io sites have a greater dci presence particulaly in Portugaul but unless you can read Portugese its not that easy to use. Not many Dci owners on here at all.

    Clio 197

    There already stuff out air filter and springs from memory. We need more younger buyers to buy them and at the price there asking ATM no one will buy one and spend money give it 2 years there will be laods out there. Throttle bodies are already been made sine the 172/182 ones are a direct fit.

    Service intervals?

    In many ways shorter servicing wuld be great Renault have loads of problem with there Lagunas due to the long servicing they let them have. Changing th oil ever 6k is a great idea for power and longevity.

    Fuel computer knackered?

    75k miles on my dampers - should I replace?

    If you think they need changing then they will. Mine were worn enough to want to replace them at 50k or so I enfded up leaving it till 65k or so and they were still fine for most people. I'd say 1.5hours to chnage them I'm not as fast a wokrer as Fred.

    Fuel gauge and milage computer use the same fuel sensor in the tank which isn't the most accurtate evn Renault tolerances on the sensor from new are quite loose.
