Hi all, Just tried my key fob and its working again :confused: I think I might have to change the battery in the remote. Does anybody know where I can get one from? Renault...? How much are they? Cheers, Ben

Cheers for all the suggestions boys and girls. Ill have to have a tinker when I get in from work. Right now, Ive gotta go and blag a lift off the old dear! Cheers, Ben

Looks complicated :cry: Is it easy enough to do because I really dont want to have to take it to "rip off" Renault! Cheers, Ben

Ok...awaiting pic...

Hate to sound thick, but I take it you mean pop the infa red sensor down from inside the car :confused:???

The battery is fine. Its less than 12 months old. Plus, I havent been having any problems with starting it or anything. As for the spare key suggestion, I havent got one! Mikec172, I can open the doors using the key manually but the alarm will sound and the only way I will be able to kill...

Hi all, Ive just finished washing my car about 20 mins ago and when I went to get in to move it, I couldnt! The key fob wont unlock the doors! Does anybody know what the problem could be and how to fix it as Ive got to get to work tomorrow Cheers, Ben

The Mobil 1 Im using is a fully synthetic oil. Ive never used anything else and Ive never experienced any smoking!?!? The engine has done 61k miles and does sound a bit noisy when first started but all noises disappear when the car has reached its optimum temperature. The car has always started...

What grade of oil should I be using in my 96 RSi? Up until now, I have been using Mobil 1 0w-40 but Ive been recommended to use 15w-40. Which would be better and why?

If youre worried about breaking some of the clips when removing the bump strips, just order some spare ones from a Renault dealer. They work out at only 49p each! That way, if you do break the clips when removing your bump strips, it wont cause too much of a problem.

So I would have to change to a phase 1/2 bonnet but I wouldnt have to change my wings??? How much would I be looking at for a phase 1/2 bonnet (brand new or 2nd hand)?

If youre going to lower a car its best to buy a suspension kit rather than be a cheap ass and cut the springs! Its worth spending the money as you will definately see the benefits in the long run. Chopping springs is something Id expect from the Nova crew!

Just thought I would let all know that Ive just collected my car from the body shop and it looks mint. The body shop I eventually took it to did a great job! Now Im off to fit my clusters :D

I knew a lad who had an old Escort. He chopped the springs to make it lower but totally messed up the handling. It bounced all over the place. It was like sitting in a biscuit tin with wheels. Very uncomfortable! DO NOT CHOP THE SPRINGS!!! It is quite dangerous.

If i were to go ahead and have these quads fitted, and i fitted a 16v bonnet, what would be the effects to my engine? By this i mean would any water get into the engine, or would it struggle to start in the cold whether due to the vent on the bonnet. Ive heard the 16v has a water catcher under...

A bit like the Eco-tech valve then...dont do a lot!?!

Im thinking about buying an FSE boost valve for my RSi but I was just wondering if anyone else has fitted one and what difference it made? I already have a K&N57i induction kit and I will also have a Magnex exhaust system from the CAT back very soon! How well will the FSE boost valve work with...

Show off! Im guessing that youve had one of the front spots converted to an indicator...? Looking at that photo makes me think that the wings ARENT the same.

Thanks for that guys and gals! However, I dont think Im gonna bother now. Sounds like theres too much effort and work involved! I would have much preferred a straight replacement unit instead of having to mod the front end entirely!

Ive just been told that the quad headlamp conversion is not available for the phase 3 RSi! Ive heard that I would also have to buy a phase 1/2 bonnet in order for them to fit properly as well! Is this the case or is this a load of rubbish.

If i get rid of the front indicator i assume that my car will A) fail an mot B) be illegal. Is there any way around this?

How much is the Morrette quad lamp conversion unit on a Clio RSi and where can I buy them from? Are they easy to fit?

Not sure about Janspeed Scott16v. Ive never really spoke to anybody who has had one. They never seem to feature on that many modded motors so, without being too judgemental, that suggests theres better out there to be had! Im so glad I didnt bother with a Powerflow system! I know you have to...

I presume the systems for the 16v and the RSi are the same as it looks like this in the catalogue: RENAULT Clio 1.8 16v/RSi 8v 91 on 1x3" R £264.99 Once again, thanks for all the help guys!

Infinity 6953is mate. Very good speakers plus theyll compliment the Infinity coax speakers you have up-front. DONT buy them from Halfords though, as youll be expected to cough up £100! Get them on-line. Ive seen them as cheap as £60.00.

Cheers for all your help Steve. Im almost 100% sure on getting a Magnex now. If you dont mind me asking, how much did you pay for your Magnex system? The list price for an RSi (CAT back system) is £264.99. I was just hoping I could get it cheaper from somewhere else...on-line perhaps...? As...

Yeah, problem is Daz, theres nowhere round by me thats any good :(

How about build quality? From what Ive seen, the welds on Magnex systems tend to be a little tidier than on Scorpion systems, plus Ive also heard from people with 16v Clios that the baffles in the Scorpion back boxes let them down. Having had experience of both Magnex and Scorpion, Steve, which...

Like you say Tom, its personal opinion at the end of the day. I still think loud exhausts draw unwanted attention and end up doin your head in! Steve a. You say you have a Magnex system on your 16v. How good a fit was it and how would you compare the sound of a Magnex to a Scorpion? I really...
