To anyone else needing this info in future, the wheel bolts from the 16" oem alloys seem to fit 15" oem steels pretty well - I thought they might be a little long, but maybe the difference in offset makes up for this. My first time using winter tyres (Avon Ice Touring) and I must say the car...

Morning all, Currently have stock 16" alloys on my Mk3 TCE 100 Tourer with 195/50 tyres. Have bought some 15" steel wheels fitted with 185/55 winter tyres. They're off a Mk2 Clio. Are the wheel nuts from my 16" alloys a straight swap to the steelies or will they need something a little...

Have you tried swapping cars to see if it's not just the difference in your driving style? If your 172 is still quicker with your mate at the wheel than you driving the 182 then you can at least rule it out...

Am considering upgrading the horn on my mk3ph2 tce. I've yet to take the bumper off to see how much space I've got to play with. Have any of you upgraded the oem horn? What did you go for, and did you have to relocate it elsewhere due to lack of space? Currently looking at the stebel range...

I'm using a raspberry pi running kodi off an sd card. It's connected to a 2tb powered external hdd. Works a dream, controlled by my phone, great interface. Can stream from it to my phone if needed also. Never used plex, although I hear it's very similar to kodi?

I had a 1.6 Mk2 for a while, although it was the 5dr privilege with the nasty beige interior. Felt like a rocket after driving a 1.2, would definitely recommend as a stepping stone on the way to a renaultsport.

Are there any examples or build threads on here? Sounds like a lot of work but if it looks good enough I could be tempted! ;)

You suggesting I get a 197 front end or that this has one already? Is it a straight bolt on job or do the arches etc need a bit of work?

HATERS GONNA HATE X

What do you want to do? Play movies etc on the TV from the iPad? Get an Apple TV instead of the cable, less than £50 now I think,then you can stream anything from any of your iOS devices.

After 6 years of using only iPhones I recently bought an htc one M8 as it was on a great offer at Vodafone. I've unlocked it by buying a code on eBay and its accepted my EE sim no problem. The main issue I've got is the amount of s**t Vodafone have preloaded onto the phone, is there a way of...

Got a Mk3 facelift TCE estate, no mods yet apart from silvervision indicator bulbs, whitevision H7s, and xtremevision led sidelights.

Today I've fitted new sidelight, indicator and dipped beam bulbs on my mk3ph2. My hands are scratched to f**k!

Thanks, I'd chosen the Philips as all their bulbs I've had in the past have lasted ages and I've read so many posts where cheap eBay bulbs have blown after a few months. I'll look into your seller though, cheers for the info.

Looking at getting a set of these later today: http://www.powerbulbs.com/product/philips-xtreme-vision-360-led-w5w-t10-4000k-twin Anyone had any issues with upgrading the sidelights to LEDs? Either with canbus error messages, police or MOT tests? Would be pairing them with either...

I've tried a quick search to see if this has already been covered, no doubt it has but it wasn't immediately obvious so here goes... The head unit in my 2009 TCE Dynamique is woeful, I have the volume set at around 25 for normal use, recently I tried to see how much louder it will go and 32 is...

Getting slowed down behind minivans by the look of it.

Good point, I'd not taken that into account. How have you been able to tell how much fuel is in your tank when the light comes on though?

I do something similar, however I only fill up in multiples of 10 litres. 10 litres: 2.2 gallons 20 litres: 4.4gallons etc Normally I only put 10 in at a time and aim to get to the magic 88 mile figure before the light comes on, then I know I've averaged 40mpg (88/2.2)

Currently driving a 59 plate Clio Dynamique estate, and as far as I can tell it has no alarm. Neighbour had their car broken into this week, was parked right outside my place and I didn't hear a thing, so it's got me wondering what my options are in terms of a basic install. How simple would...

HF55 ***, I was behind you on the work run this morning in a mk4 Clio estate. Saw the stickers and thought I'd get back on the forum again, see what I've been missing...

Hi all, the lacquer has lifted and peeled of a large section on the roof of my R5 campus, however the paintwork beneath seems fine. What are my options? Can I have it re lacquered or will it need to be stripped and painted again?

Oops it's an early 89 1.1 if that narrows it down

Hi all, the box on my 4-speed R5 campus is occasionally getting a bit grumpy. Notice it most when parallel parking, going from 1st to reverse and back again. If it continues to get worse and I need to replace it I've heard I can fit a 5 speed box from a mk1 clio, is this correct? Anyone done...

I've never been a big fan of the megane, it's been a while since I've looked at them though, maybe a test drive is in order. I'm also not looking for an RS model, sorry to disappoint. Having this baby will be testing the finances already without adding a large insurance premium on top. I'm more...

Thanks, that photo does hide a lot of imperfections to be honest! It's fun to drive but with no power steering, manual choke, and a 4 speed box it's not a car you can relax in, you really have to stay alert! I'm looking forward to getting back in something a little more modern with some basic...

Hi all, used this forum a fair bit back in 2007/8 when I was driving clios. Since then I've had a pug 106, vw polo, punto, and my current daily drive is an '89 ph2 R5 Come springtime my fiancée is due to drop our first sprog so the R5 is gonna have to go as it's really not practical or safe...

I'm tired of sharing a car with the OH and am interested in getting a Mk1 1.2/1.4 to get me to work and back. Problem is I know nothing about the Mk1, is there a guide on CS at all to the different editions etc?

On your cars number plate, is there a Renault dealership name or phone number? Call them, they should have it on record.

The map light never comes on when unlocking the car does it? Mine doesn't, only the main interior bulb lights. I thought this was normal?
