    Cup details - are these true

    Catter angle has ben changed as well I belive. Also its 3mm lower although his aparently has something to do with the different caster angle. The Cup looses to many toys in my opinion. The cup should have a spare wheel or at least a no cost optional extra. But Renault have done well stripped...

    how much

    Do you mean having them added as an extra if so its £400 If you want to add them on extra there is a load of extra wiring needed as I was asking about having them fitted to my car and they said it would be £500 or so. The bult itsself is only £30 I think. If your looking for a more...

    18000mile / 2 year service Clio 1.2 16V

    Cost for my DCi was £99. A 1.2 would be the same. The car should still be under warently so do as I do when you go in and play stupid (I dont need to try to hard). They will add some more coolant for free if not complain saying mwhy does a car under warentl need extra money spent on it...

    Torque steer on Cup/172

    Yep dont swop tyres round the Clio needs all the grip it can get on the back. You will regret it when the car crashes cos the rears lost grip and the car spins out of control. EDD

    Insurance

    Yep say you got a cheaper quote from another company. I told tesco that I got a quote for £850 when then wanted £950 and they suddenly renegotiated my premium to £870. I wouldnt try and claim to much though as they cannot compete with huge reductions. EDD

    12k service

    The issue with regards service and warenties goes on a sliding scale so if you get the car serviced at 15k then any warently work will not be full paid by Renault. If the car was serviced at 14k then you would pay less and Renault would pay more towards any warently work. There are no problems...

    good insurance for young drivers Helpplz

    clio dynamique dci warranty

    You can hammer a diesel just as muh as a petrol all you have to do is rev it and keep dropping the clutch that willnt do it much good. Renault will keep fixing the car until your warently expires. Its not worth giving you a new car or your money back as they have spend so much on it also what...

    clio dynamique dci warranty

    Sounds like you realy hammer it or just have an unlucky car. Is it the 80 hp version or the 65 then? If you hammer the clutch then it will wear faster so cannot be classed as Renaults fault. If the car isnt going into gear then isnt it the geabox thats going. Have you tried refusing the car...

    clio dynamique dci warranty

    It depends on whether or not its normal wear and tear. If you have been dropping the clutch at 4k all the time then its not covered. However I cannot see that it should wear under normal driving for about 150k+ If the clutch has broke though under normal use then it will be replaced under...

    Which Brake Pads

    The 16V clios have th same brakes as the GTT. Go down to Halfords and buy then. The ones I have got cost £18 although thy did a cheaper set at £13 I think. I cannot see the point in having racing pads unless you drive the car like a nutter. Also Racing pads take a while to heat upso you may...

    No the SERv light come on when something needs fixing at a Renault dealership. It could be anything with a Clio take it to a delership and they will disconnect the light. They cannot fix problems so disconncting the light is how they most liky fix all problems. I dont think that the service...
