    totally OEM exhuast rattle - low speeds - help

    Probably a bit late but only just seen this thread. Yes the problem is the centre silencer confirmed by warrington Renault. £350 fix from dealers, or just replace the centre box with a straight through pipe (£40) but it will pop and be very roughty. The problem is only apparent at low...

    Superchips Blue Fin

    Thanks mate appreciate your input there. I haven't heard of many clios with a super chips map which is why I asked. In regards to big gains I'm not expecting much. I just wanted to remap the engine to avoid the flat spot when I change my exhaust. Dave

    Superchips Blue Fin

    Hi Was thinking of getting a superchips remap and a milltek exhaust from Demon Tweeks as it is near to where I live and they will supply & fit both whilst I wait. However they offer a rather expensive Blue Fin plug & play thing (£455). Are they any good? anybody any experience of these...

    Exhaust question

    Thanks for the help guys I may look into doing this. I think Powerflow in Crewe would fit a custom pipe to replace centre section. Think I may get it re-mapped tho, thought about doing this for a while so a bigger flatspot is the motivation I need to go ahead with it. Where in the north...

    Exhaust question

    Hi I have a rattling centre box on my 197 which my local Renault dealer has quoted £350 to replace with fitting. I don't wanna spend that when a new exhaust from KTR/Milltek is only £458. So this got me thinking about changing my exhaust. But I have heard about massive flat spots in...

    200: What a different car to the 197!!

    congrats on your new car mate. To set cruise, first check that the switch below the steering wheel to the right, is set to switch on the cruise control. It may be set to switch on the speed limiter instead. Once cruise is switched on you simply press the + button on the steering wheel...

    New Member - Do i get a clio 197?

    If it is at the right price mate sounds great to me. I have just had all 4 alloys refurbed at the wheel specialist they did an amazing job for £297 they are better than new. If u said to the garage that they have a deal as long as they either refurb the wheels for you or knock off 250 so u can...

    Clio 200 Insurance

    ay where are these cheap quotes coming from? im 28 now, but last July when I was 27 my renewal came thru from privilege at £1200 (£600 more than the previous year for simply having an extra years no claims!! makes no sense). After a week of searching for better quotes ended up paying £810 for...

    200: Clio valuation 7 months down the line

    Yep this is true. I got offered 7200 for my R27 against a new meg 250 cup in January at a renault dealer. Values have dropped dramatically in the past year :( but few people want to run a small car that only does 25-30mpg in the current climate so to be expected suppose. Im going to...
