That should be happening. The question is: is the pin enough inside the switch when the pedal touches in its highest position? Touching might not be enough as the pin should go in a little bit to actually switch.

With the clutch pedal in highest position, is the pedal pushing the pin of the switch in a little? Cruise control only works when the switch is activated. You might also put some tape around the part of the pedal that pushes on the switch temporarily to make sure the pin of the switch is further...

It is possible that your pedal lowered somewhat over time. Then the switch is not activated preventing using cruise control (same as pressing the clutch pedal to switch off cruise control). You can check whether this is the case by lifting up the pedal with your foot while driving and see if you...

You might check the switch under your clutch pedal.

By the way, a nice ‘French’ modest touch is to use Philips Colour Vision Yellow bulbs for high beam for instance. The bulbs are not full yellow which is of course a step too far but give a slight modest yellow glance in the head light units. The yellow only shows during day time when sunlights...

For the projector head lights, is there really not a better H1 bulb on the market? The standard halogen H1 with the projectors is unbelievably low in intensity. I have tried Osram night brakers which only makes the light more white, tried Philips bulbs which promise 200% intensity but again...

After this is done, bleed the master cylinder the ‘manual’ way as well for about 8 to 10 times and finally make sure the clutch switch (cruise control switch) is adjusted properly to get rid of the ‘lagging’ feeling.

It is in Dutch but you might Google translate it or search the Internet for the English version. Following these steps wil get all the air out of the slave.

Then our Clio’s might be smarter than we think[emoji3]. It makes sense to close the throttle valve quicker while shifting as opposed to normally letting go of the throttle while driving. Then, the tip for throttle hang is: focus on properly bleeding the clutch circuit and in case throttle hang...

Do you know whether Is it actually influencing the throttle response? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Missed this message in the thread; could have tried it earlier [emoji3]. So the switch does actually influence shifting? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

The clutch switch (cruise control) was not working properly; had to lift up the clutch pedal to engage cruise control. This was a left over issue after replacing clutch parts and both slave cylinders. The entire system was bleeded manually and properly and improved the clutching but final and...

Thank you for this information. Loosing feedback is one thing but on bad road surfaces a softer tire should reduce ‘skipping’ a little so loose one thing and gain another. Unfortunately the roads where I drive the most are of the bad type. I’ll research a little further also using the...

This i did know, my ego is a little bit repaired[emoji6]. Thanks for the complete information! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thank you very much for your reply! It makes so much sense that I feel sort of ashamed that I couldn’t think of this by myself. It might mean though that I have to say goodbye to my beloved Michelins. Anyway, I’ll start comparing different tires focusing on sidewall specs. Thanks again! Sent...

The tyre will be the Michelin PS4, same as I have now. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Not aiming for a cosmetic upgrade, it looks already nice as it is[emoji3]. The car is lowered by 20mm front and rear. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Wheels are 7.5J. I do not use the car for track. Just wondering whether the slight height increase of the tyre wall will help with bad road surfaces. Road surfaces with potholes, uneven paving stones and so on. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

a cushion is a cheaper solution as well, great tip [emoji3][emoji106]. I don’t mind the firm ride but was wondering whether it would handles potholes and such a bit nicer. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Wondering whether changing the tyres from 215/45 to 225/45 will make the ride les harsh. As the sidewall is higher it should in theory mean a softer ride but hoping to learn real world experience form people who actually done this. Thanks in advance! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
