I feel sick thinking how cheap clio cups have gone! You can get them as cheap as £7000 on the autotrader! Ive been excited with the thought of selling mine but now Im pissed off knowing how little Ill get for it! Other hot hatches seem to have kept their value better.
Thats my rant over...
I found Ring Sportzblue are good. They are not the cheesy blue/green that all boy racers have! I would describe them as extreme white with a nice blueish tint. They are probably the closest youll have to the proper HIDs.
I did this to my old clio. (If I can remember with out going to look at my car) Open the boot, look up, you should see six screws with the star shape heads on them. Two on either side and two in the middle. After unscrewing these, the orinigal spoiler should be free to lift off. Dont be...
I just cramed in some rubber from an old exaust mount, whos your daddy!, the knocking noise has gone totally. Faz182 has hit the nail on the head there!
I phone renault about 5 weeks ago, it was £158. I thought Id leave it another month as Id only done 23k. Just phoned the same garage and its gone upto £188! All Renault services have gone up apparently...
54mpg was the best I ever had on my old DCi 65, that was driving like an old man! 99% of the time it stayed on the 50.9 mark! I had it for 18 months covering 20k miles.
Two of my mates DCis (Bought on the same day) did around the same around 50MPG.
You cant really believe what the trip...
Its funny how my cup seems to have every problem thats mentioned on this site..
Mine 2 has had a dodgy passenger seat, they replaced the runners or seat frame..?. They managed to rip my carpet while doing it aswell!
Im pay more visits to renault than the petrol station!
Ive got it aswell, the cars been into reno twice, they still havent fixed it, Ive given up now.
Im told its the top engine mount, if you rock the engine, you can hear it clearly coming from the engine mount.
Theyve attempted my clicking clutch pedal twice but failed, Bloody Renaults!
On a...
I dont thing Ill take it to Renault to have done, theyll probably pull my pants down with the price. My uncle works in a good body shop, he reckons around £150 to have it sorted as the dents on the door about 3" from the front wing. Theyll have to spray a bit of the wing as well. Paint isnt...
Worst thing is that the tesco supermarket is probably 400 yards away, I didnt expect a trolley to be in the middle of town. There are a lot of piss heads about on a sat night so I reckon some c*nt has pushed it into my car. Ill take a pic tommorow. The dent is big enought so that most people...
I just want to share this with you all, I need to get it off my chest! I went to get a dvd on Sat night. Came out of the shop to find a tesco trolley resting against the side of my car. Ive never felt such a gutting feeling in all my life! Im not sure if someone pushed the trolley, or if the...
Its all just one big money making scheme! They dont have road saftey in mind at all. Positioning their speed vans in stupid places just to catch people out!.
One word comed to mind, and it rimes with "Bankers"!

I drove a 182, had it for a good 45 minutes! Gave the throttle a good old tickling if you know what I mean!
I must say Id gladly swap my cup for one, they are awesome cars. It is more or less the perfect car. Its got every toy you could possible want.
But I must admit, I cound not feel...
I got an pipercross vector kit. Im sure there was a small power loss untill i put more cold air feeds to it. Sound aswesome though!

Someone pmd me this a while ago = metal-on-metal sqeaking sound when on right hand lock, this a prob with the fit of the top mount of the suspension. Apparently theres a note on Reno Actis system - the car requires a simple mod

It hasn’t been changed yet, it’s booked in on the 24th. They said they’ll sort it though, I assumed it was being replaced under the warranty. Ill let you know what the outcome is..
Gravells in Kidwelly South Wales said theyll replace rattling exhaust, its booked in on the 24th so Ill let you know if they sort it. They are sorting out all my other problems awell!
Mines going in on the 24th. They asure me they will fix the rattling exhaust, and dodgy clicking clutch pedal and the metal on metal sounding rubbing noise on full lock!
I Also get a weird bounching, lose, knocking noise when cornering fast. (Its a hard to describe!) You can also feel it...
I bought four new michelin exaltos pilots for my cup 195 45 16. Awesome handling and hardwaring but they tramline like Fcuk. Scared the sh*t out of me the first time I drove it with the pilots on. Ive got used to it now though.
I dont get the humming road noise with these unlike the old...
