    Ok... The 200T vs 200 comparison!!!!

    Im going to have to give you some customer fedback here, the new Clio 200 looks sh*t, sorry it just does. Please report back to Renaults higher-ups and request the styling department are sacked. The new Clio has zero road presence what so ever. All the torque, launch control, onboard...

    200: Not Amused

    Adams kindly quoted me £410 all in for a new condenser which is an improvement. He mentioned he has seen a few Clios with a plate / mesh over the condenser to stop the stone chips. Has anyone actually carried this out?

    Clio 200 climate control problems

    why complain at £400 odd :) mines broken with same issue and renault quoted me £557, gogo group buy. i've just chosen not to do it. theres another thread in general about exactly the same thing with more info titles "not impressed" or something like that :D

    200: Not Amused

    id like to say i'm joking but im not, thats what they want to charge. Its crazy so ive just decided to not have air con instead. The condense itself "costs me" £115 +VAT brand new (google it theres plenty for sale) so its all in the work involved.

    200: Not Amused

    well i took mine for the air con fixing last week, exactly like yours its got holes in it. Renault Wakefield quoted me £557 to replace with a new condenser. Why's yours so cheap or whys mine so expensive?

    Newbie from West Yorkshire

    i'm from over Brighouse way (15 mins from you) and oddly enough had a C2 before my Clio. Id actually give my right leg to have the C2 again, i hate my Clio in every possible way and will be getting rid the second i can, hopefully your ownership will be better than mine ;-)

    Thats Gordini Models Dropping in Value

    yeh Nick totally agree. I kind of sway more to the marketing mistake. No matter what anyone thinks, the Gordini is awesome, love the Clio in that outfit, shame Renault dont :)

    Thats Gordini Models Dropping in Value

    Renault are so wrong to refer to their own product as "a mistake", they are idiots. After spending over 10 years now in sales and marketing, rule number 1 : never ever slate your own product.

    Exhaust gases only on one side

    Quick question, a colleague from work was behind me the other day and said i only had exhaust gases coming from the left side of the car, none from the drivers side. obviously cold day and all that so you do see most cars spitting from both exhausts...why's mine only one? I'm running a...

    197: Some sad news :(

    ouch i can only dream of that happening to me, it would free me from the financial prison that is my Clio. At least your ok though, thats what air bags are for. Does your Clio have Recaro's? If so, ask if you can take them off the car before its scrapped :) Would be a nice £1k probably against...

    No Steering

    Final word on this. £1250 ish to replace steering rack, computer etc. Renault have kindly covered 65% of the cost so a good result there for a 2009 that's out of warranty. Thumbs up to Renault Wakefield too, Phil in the service department has been great and the dealer comes across as being...

    No Steering

    Right update : did end up going up to Saddleworth Moor for a run out, I'll be honest i sort of wasn't careful and did drive fast and smiled a lot, it was hugely fun and everything was working 100% correctly, no issues what so ever. Following morning, couldn't start the engine without the error...

    No Steering

    aye agree with you there mate, been thinking about this all day. I'm certain it can't be the battery either. Id put my little finger on it happening again before the weekend so another trip back to the garage is on the cards. As i said I'm going for a (slow) drive round Saddleworth Moor this...

    No Steering

    lol your lucky you didn't crash mate, could have been worse! Well its never simple is it...cars been "on charge" since 8.15am this morning....it isn't charging at all. So either that battery is dud or its actually not down on juice at all. God knows. a few people are saying because i don't do...

    No Steering

    Hmmm not what i expected...the battery needs charging. According to the mechanic after checking the computer and error reports etc, the battery is down on juice and its starving the steering which is the most thirsty part of the car apparently. Weird thing is its not down on much as the car...

    No Steering

    So i got in the Clio to leave work last night, a little red "stop" light came on and the display said "steering fault"..before id ever set off. Naturally turned the car off and on again and everything was jolly, during the journey home i was wondering what would happen if i was moving and the...

    Fed up!

    i totally agree with everything you say and urge you sell up. having owned my 197 cup since July last year, im sick to death. All i get are constant bills everytime i go anywhere near the damn thing, it really isnt worth it.

    Aero Kit (side bits)

    Anyone know where i can get these now-a-days? Ideally i only want the passenger side but if they come as a pair then so be it.
