    Cheers

    Just a quick thanks to a great forum. Fortunately/Unfortunately I sold the Clio yesterday and the lucky owner picked it up this morning, a gentleman in his 40's who wanted to treat himself to a toy. Although I never personally met up with any of you, thanks for all the feedback/questions and...

    F4R Loosening up nicely

    Afternoon all, just returned from Diamond Motors, Renault Specialist in Long Eaton. Cracking service for its first "independent" visit since using Renault dealerships for the past few services. Decided upon having the 36k mile service early at 30k, although it is at the 4 year period. During...

    Possible px

    Good evening all, it's fair to say I've been a bit of a Renaultsport convert in the last 12 months since owning the 200, I absolutely love it for all the obvious reasons we own one. However.... Over the last few days the odd R26R has caught my eye. Ive recently done well at work and looking to...

    Bedding in brakes by Jeff Ritter

    I know there is a lot of different info out thefe but this is worth a read if you get 5 minutes. Explains to an extent the colour of my discs after 10 minute sessions round Donington. :coffee: http://www.essexparts.com/learning-center/cat/brake-pads/post/Bed-in

    Standard pad manufacturer......?

    I was stripping the front calipers for cleaning before the track day and noticed on the pads is clears says Brembo and then Renault but also at the top of the back plate is says Ferodo? Can anyone clear this up? Do Brembo use Ferodo pads? I'm pretty sure the pads that were in were the standard...

    Handing/traction control questions on track-clio 200 cup

    I know there are some experienced track day goers on here, so hopefully a simple answer for one or two of you. Having owned a standard 205 GTI in the past and had a blast on British B roads and lapping the Nurburgring, I can thoroughly see the resemblance in handling between these two cars, it's...

    Track day preparation

    Evening all. I thought I would start a little project thread which I will update over the next few weeks ready for the Clios first track day in my ownership. I live about 15 minutes from Donington Park, so naturally this will be its first outing. The car is a 2010 Clio 200 cup with aircon...

    Single click when pulling away

    Afternoon guys, I hope someone has a relatively simple answer for this... My clio 200 makes an audible single click type noise in the following situations: ~Noticeable in the lower gears, predominantly when pulling off in 1st or pulling away slowly in 2nd ~ Is not steering related, eg...

    200 gearbox oil

    Evening all, Can someone recommend a good gearbox oil for the clio 200? Is the standard renault stuff ok? Perhaps an oil change won't do it any harm after 21k miles and a few track/driving days. I had a brilliant day of driving over in North Wales yesterday. The box this morning...

    New tyre purchase - Pirelli P Zero Nero

    As in the title. I know there are lots of opinions on tyres but I went for these as they won the subjective performance tyre test by Evo mag last summer. Also had them on a mk4 golf R32 and they impressed me back in 2008. Early signs are very good, plenty of grip and fairly profiled...

    Startup whining...common on 200?

    Hi all, Really pleased with the 200 having had it for a few weeks now. There is however a question which has been nagging me every time I start the car from cold. From the moment the car starts there is a whining sound from the engine compartment, the best way to describe it would be similar...
