    Why Renault?

    Personally I have always loved the design of Renaults (specifically RS models) ever since the early R5 turbo. Also loved the 1.8 Clios then the Williams, then the 172's etc. in fact I have always loved the look of Clios! The 200 being one of my favourites (obviously). I now want a Megane as they...

    My Renaultsport Machine - Glacier White Clio 200 Cup

    Just a wee update on this. My akropovic exhaust is seriously awesome. Sometimes she bangs loudly and other times it's less raucos but always enjoyable! :D Anyone else get that? Some morning she burbles and bangs loads and other times it's quieter?

    Gosh I could not be assed with removing the bumper, there really is no need! Just patience and a small make up mirror to see what you've got to work with! (The wives mirror of course!) :D

    Rear Quarter Glass Seals

    I wouldn't say it's easy it's a pain in the ass but it's possible. Just takes a long time and is a hateful job! I'd get some sticky label remover or something to facilitate removal of the old glue.

    how do you change headlight bulb!!??

    Changed my blown lamp at the weekend. It's actually not too bad. Just a fiddly job. Removing part of the Intake as described in the thread above helped a lot. Unplug the wiring loom from the lamp (pull it out gently) and just slowly pull out the old bulb. It kinda comes out one side first. The...

    AP Brakes discs for OEM calipers?

    Strange phenomenon. So are we saying it's likely the j hook design that's causing the noise? I know that with grooved discs and. An aggressive pad you can hear the 'rubbing effect' as it were, but not a chattering or clicking sound. Or at least not on my ap brakes on the Rallye anyway. I am...

    Bye 200, hello 265 Trophy (6/50)

    AP Brakes discs for OEM calipers?

    Wow they do look fantastic alright! What's the clicking then, just a noise it's making? Are you running the aftermarket 'Mr pink' pins and just oem pads?

    Fuel economy - Max miles to a tank?

    Clio 200 only please! So how on earth do you get 400 miles from a tank? Just long slow motorway journeys?

    how do you change headlight bulb!!??

    Ah I see, thanks. That's a bit poo. Even the wife's Citroen c2 tells you when a bulb blows! So does that display actually tell you when things go wrong on the car (the little car logo on the dash display). I assumed a dead bulb would show on there you see.

    how do you change headlight bulb!!??

    Cheers for this guide lads, noticed my passenger dipped/main lamp had gone this morning. I am going to buy some decent bosch bulbs and attempt replacement later on, or possibly the weekend if it turns out to be fiddly! One question, should I receive a warning on the dash when a bulb isn't...

    Annoying isn't it? Shame because they do look good but are just too tight a fit.

    Fuel economy - Max miles to a tank?

    Gosh you boys must drive like grannies! My regular fuel consumption is about 250 miles a tank. I cannot drive my Clio slowly it just begs me to drive it enthusiastically!

    Fuel economy - Max miles to a tank?

    As above. What's the best mileage you've had from a tank of fuel in the Clio 200? Before I bought one everyone was telling me how bad they are in fuel (I had an EP3 CTR previously). But to be honest it's fine and more economical than the Honda! Best recent was 350 to a tank. That's with a...

    My Renaultsport Machine - Glacier White Clio 200 Cup

    Mine were fine but were tight going on so I always assumed I'd have to drill them off of the worst came to the worst. Greasing the bolt heads prior to figment is a good plan. However it's too late for that now! Will probably get some tpi bolts instead I think. Are they high tensile and approved...
