Its all down to how you drive the car I wouldnt bother to much unless its meaning your skint. I had a 1.2 16V once as a courtesy car and it never did more than 20mpg my guess was 15mpg. Then again I did drive it at the limiter and mates thought it was a 1.4 or somthing it went so quick. I...

The engines are the same arnt they? The 1.4 and 1.6 look the same in the pics in the haynes manul. Sure the diesel is changed but Im sure the other engines are the same. EDD

Dynamic brakes are the same whatever engine you have diesel or petrol. No idea what Ferodo ds2000 brakes ar but if there the standard ones (ferardo make the standard ones) then you can pick them up as a normal replacement set. EDD

Say the car is garaged As Jon1978 said tell one company you got a cheaper quote elsewhere and see if they can match it. Addin someone else to the insurance seems towok for some companies and not for othere all the ones that I rangup said it would cost more to add other drivers. EDD

I used Confuesed and the best they offered me was £1.2k and I got a quote of £850 from Frizzell when I rang them up and £870 from Tesco. The best companies seem to be Liverpool Victoria for quotes (Frizzel is the same company) ED

Dead easy 20 mins a side (assuming you dont work to hard and its easier if you have someone help ya. To change the brakes 1- Jack the car up 2- Put blocks under the car (incase the jack fails) 3- Take the wheel of 4- Unbolt the caliper (has someone got a picture showing the screws to...

Mine bog standard. Why well a few reasons- 1 - Performance mods seems a waste of money as the car is only a 1.5 at the end of the day so will never set the world allight. (I drive loads of miles so I dont want no noisy exhaust etc) 2 - I like the useless Renault warently so I dont want to...

Nope there is no new shape Clio manual The last one hough is excellent though there isnt much different. I got one at the weekend and most of the car is the same its interier panels which are different shapes but there connected the the body the same most of the time. EDD

Return the car to normal and keep your foot down. Sometimes air intake mods do more harm than good. The 1.2 should do 100 though keep persaviering EDD

The cost differecne bettween a 1.2 and 1.4 arnt going to be much when I had a 1.4 it cost the same to fill with fuel as the 1.2 (I hammered them both the 1.2 more so). Both cars have 18k servicing and insurance shoudnt be to different. The 1.4 was quicker especially higher up the revs and...

The covers there as some sort of noise reduction isnt it? Thats why the cup doesnt get it as removing it saves weight and cost. (also its another thing Renault dont have to worry about forgetting to fit or rattling) EDD

The fuel computer in my car is accurate to within about 2% after 18k(Ikeep a log of how much fuel has gone on an how much the computer says is burnt. Mine as diesel though if it makes any difference. Also if you have done any mods they may affect the results. EDD

I dont think the 1.4 pistons fit the block is probably wider. Your best idea is either Nos or Throttle bodies EDD

£1.5K saved cash £2.5k part exchange paid £3k over 6 months for it (parents bought me it) £6k loan in parents name but paid by me over 3 yrs I need to work out how to finance a Fabia VRS now (soory Clios rattle to much and dealers are useless). EDD...

O no I can see another anti LAD thread starting. LAD claim 200hp but they wont seem to put it to the test on the dynos. The best thing to do is to fit an exhaust, Bigger air filter and have the car remap as a one off. Or stick 50hp nitro into the car (another area of disputer true tunning)...

diesel run hight compression number always have doen and they need to to operate. You need to drop the compression of a petrol but not with the diesel unless you going to get serious mods to it. The amount of extra boost that you run shouldnt be a problem its the fueling which will. Running...

The thing that you need to take note is to make sure that the suspension is used in a Clio with the same front end weight ie the front weights the same or very close. The 1.5dci weighs 600kg up front The 1.2 16v weighs 560kg The 1.4 weighs 640kg The 1.6 weights 680kg The 2 liter 660kg...

S reg Honda Integra Type R with 50k for 7k T5 Volvo V70? coupe Porsche all porches look aces (even boxters even if there cars for people who have had mid life crises) EDD

tt attract chicks need I say more. Who cars how ast the car is when here a fit chick next to ya EDD

Mine suffers from a rear light end as well. Im hoping new pads fix it. Also pulls to the left. I have tried braking loads on straight empty roads from high speed and the car does seem very rear end light and pulluing to the left but I think the edb or whatever helps it to go in a straight...

Im sorry to say this but Ive heard nothig good at all about Renault auto boxes. Its seems that on the second hand market dealerships offer less for the cars than the manuals as the auto boxes are so badly made. Soory for the negitive feedback I have to say though if you have a automatic you...

If you going to try and get a 172 engine in the space why not squeeze the 2 liter turbo there instead for more potential power. I would think the best idea for some power would be a engien transplant with a GTT 180~200hp is easy to atain. How about puttin another engine in the car for...

If your under 21 renault will insure a courtesy car wont they? Well they do at my dealership. Also tell the insuracne company that its for waranty work. They usually insure it for free if its for warently work. If the cars in for service then they charge you. EDD

Not to bad then. Bets to have a new car than have your old one fix ed there never the same plus no need to spend any money on service/road fund/ tyres etc plus its work more being more modern. You could end up better off. EDD

pmitchell Any more pics of the car those lotus Carltons are amazing cars. Ive seen two wannabies in the past one was a badged up 2 liter the other a 300GSI badged up. The LC has many of the parts as the normal 3000GSi I believe the engine was given a longer stroke by Lotus with bigger pistons...

Tell then. The reason you buy insurance is so they will pay up when/ if you crash. By not telling them of the mods your insurance in invalid so you have thrown away the money you paid the company for a piece of paper that is invalid. Have you tried another insuracne company Liverpool...

I think most people would think again about buying a Clio after reading the problems we have with Clios or the dealers. I wish Renault would give us some sort of discount though similar to friends and family discount. EDD

Foreigner drivers get away with almost anything the police cannot do very much as there licences cannot have points on them. If a foreigner gets pulled by the police they just get told to slow down. In extreme cucumstances (like the Japanese guy who filed himself trying to top 200) they can...

Yep you have to tell them they need to know but shpuldnt care. Loads of people get points. Insurers wont take much bother soon as driving at 32 in a 30 isnt going to increases the risk of you crashing the car will it. EDD
