    Low battery warning and battery light Clio 200

    Mine has the same thing and I’m in the process of booking it in to the garage. This is how the specialist described it to me: These clios have a ‘digital’ alternator, so rather than the alternator sending the same current to the battery all the time (or based on revs?), the 200 requests current...

    Battery Low and Stop light

    Update: The alternator that was put on the car by the dealer who I bought the car from was a cheap one not the specific Renault approved one that should go on the 200! Apparently the 200 can change its demand from the alternator depending on how much electricals are on in the car etc. Time for...

    Battery Low and Stop light

    Hi all, I’ve had a low battery warning appear on my 200 intermittently over the last two weeks since I picked up the car, but yesterday and this morning the Stop light came on as well and the low battery message stayed on for most of my journey. The car had the alternator replaced the week...

    Cheers @Glenn_Adam_Doble and @Benno, as both of you have said it’s preference and depends on the roads and conditions, I think I will see how I get on with the Yokos and get some winters if I feel like I need them! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Winter tyres, yay or nay?

    Evening all, my new Clio 200 (which I’ll be picking up in 5 days time!! :D ) has got Yokohama AD08(R?)’s fitted to it, I’ve read up and these seem to be a very good tyre for summer and track use which is great! However being new to the fast car thing I think it would be a good idea for me to...
