    Does anyone know if any stores like Halfords sell the snow foam lance. I'm in N. London and need one today. Cheers

    H&R's now fitted

    My springs finally arrived and fitted them on Friday. I did a spring swap on a non cup 197 a few weeks ago, the H&R springs are about the same diameter as those but the stock 200 cup springs are seriously beefy in comparison. The diameter of the H&R's looks puny! Out on the road there's no...

    Lowering stock shocks

    I'm going to fit some H&R springs some time this week but after doing another car I thought there may be a way to lower the front further by almost 10mm without cutting in to the shocks travel. The stock shock has a fin welded to the shock body. The fin slots into the hub assembly to centre...

    ESP cuts in hard

    If I push the car pretty hard, especially on a slight downhill, with the ESP on it cuts in and brakes the car with a sudden jolt. It comes out of the blue and scares the daylights out of me. Pretty scary pushing hard at over 70mph. It's this normal?

    Anyone removed the ABS sensor?

    I'm convinced there's something wrong with the front drivers side ABS sensor so was going to swop it over with the other side to prove a point. I can see the wire runs up into the wheel arch liner but haven't removed it yet. Does anyone know where it actually disconnects?

    Fitting springs is easy!

    I was dreading fitting my set of H&R's after reading the 'How To's' on here but I have to tell you it's just as simple as any other car I've done. I didn't have to remove the hub assembly or drop the sub frame, in fact I didn't even take off the caliper. Just unbolted the arb link, removed the...

    Is this Cup Suspension?

    Blue and Purple paint on the front springs and Blue and Orange on the back? I thought most guys had Blue and Orange springs front and back

    better turn-in/ change of direction

    After hustling my car through mountain roads over the past month I feel it rolls around too much and I can't chuck it hard into a corner or flick it quickly enough through chicanes. Am I looking for stiffer anti-roll bars, lower springs or some negative front camber? Or do I have to bite...

    Here's a different look to a 200

    Here's something different I spotted on Autotrader South Africa http://www.autotrader.co.za/used-cars/renault/clio/2010-renault-clio-2-0t-sport-edenvale-fpa-8ab8be873b271467013b412bf2162d8f

    Polish/Wax advice

    I've had the car for 2 weeks now and washed it for the first time yesterday. I use Maguires deep crystal car wash, then polished using Maguires deep crystal polish and then finished off with NXT wax. Obviously it's raining today so when I give it a wash at the weekend would I just wash and dry...

    Steering rack issues

    I can feel a very slight knock coming from the steering. I don't think it's really left to right but almost up and down... it's like there is a play straight down from the steering wheel if that makes sense? Edit: Mine is a 2012 Gordini with 2,500 miles. The problem is that I can feel it but...

    Supreme Shine Microfibre

    Just a quick one to say that I normally use Maguires micro fibre cloths but their Supreme Shine Microfibres are fantastic. Recommended

    Air Intake... again

    I took the lid off my airbox for the day and the noise is insane even though it loses power. So now I want the noise but not a big loss of power. From a bit of research I see that the K&N Apollo and the Pipercross Viper lose power, they are both enclosed cone filters... but then so is the...

    These cars are ridiculous!

    I had an 2.0 Audi TT DSG roadster before the Clio. Now I have to say that the engine was really superb, power all over the rev range. The DSG gearbox is really phenomenal as well. You could be flat out right in the middle of a bend and change gears and it was so quick and smooth it wouldn't...

    215/40 17

    I have the opportunity to buy some Goodyear Eagle for a very very very good price but they are 215/40 instead of 215/45... shouldn't make too much of a difference should it?

    Removed airbox lid for the day

    I have read on here that there is a loss of power by removing the airbox lid but I just loved driving around the whole day without it. What a glorious noise! :thumbup:

    How to clean front bumper on 200

    Hi, I tried to get off a few bugs for the first time on the gloss black bumper on my Gordini but even the slightest bit of pressure on the cloth scratches the surface. I use Meguiars micro fibre cloths. How are you guys with gloss black bumpers cleaning it?
