reliability is much the same, they are the same basic engine, same fuel pump, same injectors just a different turbo and more fuel pressure for the 100

so if push came to shove, the 100 is better? ok thats all i needed to hear to continue on my impulse of 400 hundred miles trip to go get it and get home again!
Better than yours. C*nt.

That covers most of the technical stuff.

lol maby if youve had 4 kids! if youve driven any of the other non RS clios and know the issue with engine/gearstick movement then try a 100, but really you need a good long test drive with the box to really appreciate it
lol!
i was looking at 1.2/1.4 but got put off them

this! The 80 has quite a hard clutch. The 100 is a bit different to the norm but its quite nice. The one I testdrove was anyway.
see i made a good distraction 
lol shame xenon headlights are soo expensive to buy as dci 100 would be better with them

also a point worth noting you get rear disks on the dci 100 which imo look better

185lb/ft dCi
This thread has come on some what! best thing to say would be a modded dci and standard 1*2 midrange are not far off each other.
anyway lou, i think you'd be better of with an 80 just because if something went on it, it'd be easier to find the parts for it as they are more common. but if your wanting some more speed go for the 100.

Roffle at Diesel Wars.
Face facts. You drive them because they're economical (which is fine). You mod them because you want them to be as fast and fun as the petrol, at which point your fuel economy goes to s**t, you pour plumes of soot everywhere, and it still sounds like a tractor with a box of spanners in the sump.
Torque this, torque that. Blah blah. Firstly, your overall gear ratio is so much higher than a petrol that much of this torque is lost at the wheels. Secondly, 190lb/ft is hardly going to ripple the road up now is it? The only way a dci could feel as quick as a 182 is if you changed gear at 4000rpm in both cars. End.

im not getting into any more arguments but a few facts for people who have no experiance with diesel tuning (not that theirs anything wrong with that, each to their own) but people always jump to the following conclusions due to knowing their brothers mates cousin with the screw mod on his dturbo 306
Better than yours. C*nt.
I'd also like to point out that I've done more than 'remapped' a diesel. They produce more filth. Every time. And they're never as quick as you think. I was running 300-odd lbft in my Megane, and it obliterated my boss' Golf GTi off the line. Come 30mph, he'd sail past me. I'd not see him again.
The economy gets better, it depends how you drive them, so nothing to do with the mods (in most cases). Plumes of suit, this only affects the person behind so who cares. Agree on the sound but most four cylinder engines sound pisch anyway, so who cares.
Torque/power - people like what they like. The torque still makes a difference in gear, lost or not. Who cares what feels faster, that's down to the people comparing, not being told by others.

Mine hardly spoke to be fair and no matter what I've done I've never been below 46mpg. If I try it still gets over 70mpg. I'm happy with mine I think that's all that matters. Munson talk about coming in and ruining the control that was gained in this thread lol

the trick is your using less revs to get the same performance which is going to give you better mpg which is why mine shot up about 5mpg on average daily driving, if you give it limiter every gear then yes your going to use more fuel as your turbos giving you more air!
Afraid mine has improved, albeit only by a small amount. Depends on what mods you have. Sounds like your Megane was pisch if you were dropped by a GTi. Maybe the tuning was pretty poor?
Well now I know you are talking pisch;
Stop every 100rpm?
Good petrol?
This makes no sense.
It explains nothing.

lol my dci pulls from 1500rpm to 5000rpm thats a 3500rpm power band, as per your description of a "decent petrol"
This is so inaccurate, it's unreal! There are so many other factors and variables that count that simply saying that diesel engines rev from 2k to 3k and petrol engines rev from 2.5k to 6k means a big fat ZERO!
You honestly think that what you just said means a petrol car is quicker than a diesel car? LOL!
As I questioned earlier, it sounds like his mystery diesel Megane was tuned in a way that was not very good! Got to laugh!
Decent petrol engine? My Mum's old 1.4 had a decent petrol engine...
Better than yours. C*nt.
It wasn't quite as bad as that you imbecile, but diesels do NOT like to rev in the same way that petrols do. They work in different ways.
As before, I'm out. Bunch of f*cking clownshoes on this forum at times!
You are the comedy one!
Quote me the comment that said diesel cars are the fastest cars in the world? Although, the AUDI TDI Le Mans car isn't slow! You have cleared one thing up, albeit rather funny. You are referring to F1 engines as "decent petrol engine"...that's pure comedy!
If you has just simply stated you meant a formula 1 car then it would have been so clear; which, by the way rev to like 16k or something so your powerband comment was slightly out!
Bye then, noob!

Mike you seem to be failing to grasp things again lol its all a pointless arguements as its horses for courses. There decent deisel engines and pish ones same with petrol. Petrol is no better than diesel and diesel is no better than petrol. You just dont seem to get that diesels have come a very long way in the pas 10 years and they are only going to get better and better. As with diesel power bands if you look at a graph you will see. Torque will start of high and drop of very slowly while its doing this the hp rises and takes over. So throughout the rev range you have power. With petrols no power arrives really till later in the revs.
