    Stuttering

    Hello! I have had my 200 7 months now, its got 31k on the clock and Full Renault Service History. I know these are known to judder and stutter a little but mine seems to do it fairly regularly over the last few months, more so when im pulling away in first and then shift to second. I thought...

    200: Warranty....and modifications

    As mentioned, I would guess it would depend on the dealer. If the terms and conditions of the warranty specifically state that any modification invalidates it then they could refuse. Most would likely be fine but its a risk to take if it could invalidate the warranty.

    Louder induction noise since putting bp ultimate in

    I have found that Tesco Momentum is about the same as V-Power. Won't touch anything else though unless I am completely desperate and then its just enough to get to a Shell Garage :)

    Lumpy at low revs

    Mines the same. Doesn't seem to be a pattern, originally I thought it was the cold temperature but its been warmer the last few days and did it this morning. Strange.

    Cruising speed for best mpg?

    50-55mph seems to be the best for me but I can't do that speed on the M20/M2, I will be overtaken by the HGV's!! I try to stick to 65-70mph and its not too bad, maybe 35mpg.

    the clio is going

    I have bitched and moaned about my MPG until I drove the Mrs' Land Rover Freelander Auto Diesel. Holy ****, it must have done 90 miles to £30 of diesel. I knew it was a 2 litre heavy car but that was shocking! I will complain about mine less now :)

    the clio is going

    Yeah I have thought this a few times but I am in negative equity as I did a bank loan for some of it. Once I hit the point where I can sell it for what I have left to pay roughly then its going. It is great fun to drive but realistically its just expensive to run. I just think what I could...

    Please be careful when de icing

    The underlying issue here is that drivers are leaving cars unattended.....the ice is irrelevant.

    Fuel Consumption - How many miles do you get from a FULL TANK?

    Depends on what sort of driving it is. Town driving seems to be fairly poor and motorway seems 'ok' so to speak. I brimmed the tank last time and got 350 miles down to where the red light came on but that was mainly motorway driving. The time after that is was 260 for the same amount but that...

    Warranty advice

    That's why I didn't take the extended warranty. Ring them up and ask but if what you have written is true then it sounds like they won't honour the warranty.

    Clio is Cool or Chavvy?

    As a bloke he is probably thinking,....'Pfft my BMW is faster than your Clio' I would be money on that being what he is thinking :)

    Why do we buy Renault

    Although the build quality is still lagging behind other manufacturers, its still a lot better than it used to be. I have had two newish Renaults and neither have had any major issues (touch wood).

    Side Vents

    I usually give them a clean with an APC and a detailing brush then spray some Aerospace 303 on them and wait for a while before hosing it off. Works well and lasts for a few months.

    "Don't buy a Renault" They told me.....

    A dealer should always be judged on how their service is when you take you car in for maintenance or repairs. Everyone seems to think a dealer or garage is awesome because the salesman made them a cup of tea when they bought the car. They are trying to sell you something, of course they are...
