    225/45/17 vs 215/45/17?

    Hi All, Can anyone advise which is the best tyre size to go with for the mk3 RS200? I have seen the 225/45 tyres are a bit cheaper than the 215/45 but the latter being OEM, does the other tyres catch or scrub? Running stock 17" cup wheels.

    Cambelt specifics?

    Cheers for the help with this so far everyone, can anyone recommend a garage in the North West who may be more experienced in doing these cambelts rather than me using a local garage?

    RS200 temperature gauge

    Cheers for the responses, I do have an OBD reader so can check it out later. Seems simple enough to change if it does need it doing. I have read the OBC is as optimistic as the robot from hitchhikers guide, so if its showing 28mpg and 130 miles to 1/4 tank its actually more like low 30's...

    RS200 temperature gauge

    Afternoon all, I have only had my clio RS for a few days and I have noticed the fuel consumption is terrible(28mpg on a 70mph cruise according to the obc) but the temp gauge needle doesn't move much above the first line.

    Thanks for the welcomes guys, should I ask what the black/silver diamond is all about? I thought it was the previous owner painting the diamonds on the car? Any suggestions how to check if the cambelt has been changed?

    Afternoon all, Not written one of these for a while, just purchased a Clio RS200 Cup Full Fat(I think its referred to as?) as a replacement for my old MINI. Never owned a french car before and picked this up on the spur of a moment when I needed a car and it seemed to tick a lot of the boxes...
