What happened on the dash did the red light go off? Did any of the dahs come on? Was there any power for the stereo etc?

This is a Renault the Frenchies don't build things like the Germanys (not always a negative). If the Germans had built the car it wouldn't be the same personality which I feel is great even if you have to accept there comprimises. I wish they'd let Honda give them an engine and gearbox though...

Full throttle. I' go for say 2k to 7k personally but so long as you've been at full throttle around where max torque is made that just as good.

You can remove the wheels remove at arch liner and reach a lot of it from there. You'll probably end up removing the bumper though although its no big issue.

I know of a number of car with decat which have passed MOT's they should have one fitted I'm not 100% sure they have to have one fitted to pass though so long as emmisiosn are within tolerance most cars won't as there not remapped to account for the decat.

You won't care about raattles if you enjoy driving car. the CLios a good car ok some have bad build quaility and some wierd design ideas but there great fun to drive quick. Not much to watch out for check 53 reg cars arn't press cars 9there all blue with strips and sat nav I think0) just the...

What the keck did they do I'm guessing they set the cams wrongly when they put the belt back ie its 100% there fault and they should pay for all repairs. Still I'd not pay that much go to get a new 182 engine for £1.2k then £400 or so fitment. However there repairing the engine so the costs...

I'd say 6.5k at least 5k though. Personally I'd chnage the engine oil at about 1k and then ever 6k ie once between ever service as it does make a difference. I'd also chnage the gearbox oil for Millers or Purple blue after a few K if you intend to keep it or want the best. You don't have to...

Good dealership that one I take my car there. least i belive they will service the car and give you a straight answer. Don't let them change your pads though you cna do it yourself dead easy job 40 minutes start to finish if your taking your time. Come down to the meet on Sunday at Cheshire Oaks.

No problems. I'd try and find a garage preferably one with a heater etc. My cars still sitting in a local garage broke as its to cold to go work down there.

To run it in in the first 25 miles you need (when the engien warm0 to get the revs up and put sme load on the engine foot to the floor in 2nd and 3rds to 60mph then brake then do it again do this a few times will help ensure the pistons make a good seal in the engine. Renault tell you to go easy...

The strips were an optional extra same as for the normal car 9only in the blue colour) Recars seats Metalic paint. CD changer although this wasn't offical its dealer fit. The 172 Cup didn't have ABS the 182 did.

The new RS won't have Brembos they were just for the demo car. Later specical edition model might have brembos but I don't imagine they will. the new car does look good though.

35 or so I think but I do a fairly long drive to work every day on relitivtly emply 60mph roads all the way.

No problem. I'd say the'd chnage you for 40 minutes to more likly 1 hrs labour. so say £30~40 depends on your locla garage they my charge £50 an hour labour.

They can adjust it there just lazy or unknowedged.

Yep easy to do. just make sure you don't try jacking the whole gearbox and engine up your only jacking to remove the weight so the engine and box are in the same place when you stick the new mount in place.

Combined with a DIY modified engine mount on the drivers side it does make the car shake a bit at idel but it make the whole engine and gearshift tighter.

£40 for shocks each. You can chnage them in 10 minutes no need to even jack the car up or remove a wheel.

So long as your plugs have been put back in right there no issue. Probably best you do go easy not for a bit forver else you'll loose your licence.

The tensioner arn''t that good you should replace them anyway when you have the belts done.

Its a problem with the alarm having problems locking as the electics are on. Its a dealer fix problem andy good dealership should know of the problem or be able to fix it its just down to the way there set up. I'd get it done asap as I'm a bit picky but its not huge issue.

No need to chnage them maybe some lock thread would help but unless you get you cars front wheels off the ground flying round I don't see any point new ones don't have any lockligns tuff. The chance of them falling out is about the same as getting 6 numbers on the lottery ever time for a year...

I wouldn't trust it. £3 a liter is to cheap Millers is one of the best and its £8 a liter from the cheapest place I cna find (Demon Tweeks). I'd get it chnaged asap for somehting better Silkline pro is very good regarded stuff. 300 degree brake fluids not amazing but if its cheap. Just make...

Its your opinion and i personally am glad your posted your views. Its interesting to see how visiters view the forum as without creating a good impression we'd be going nowhere quickly. You don't remember who or what gave you that impression do you it would be interesting to see if it was...

There one of the rarest Clios ever made. There are other 1.6 16V models though the dynamic is more common and more modern the RSI spec was only in the Mk2 phase 1 I think. Stiffer suspension well its all relitive aftermarket stuff would be trulely suffer even the sporty RS arn't very stiffly...

Personally I'd get a full fat 182 with Both Cup packs and get some expensive suspension (Leda) fitted. or if I wanted to save some more money a late reg 172 with Leda coilovers and get some 182 hubs fitted.

Be careful no ABS isn't nice. There a good reason why so many crash and some insurance companies won't touch them.

You got to love Renault some of there franshise garages do nothing to help themselves. Its a real shame.

The dynamics from the sporty range its very high spec realy the privalege is more a different colour bits.
