    R-link mandatory update

    Looks like another big mandatory (ha ha) update for the R-link now available. Now I wonder what it's for / does? Not like Renault seems to think it's necessary to tell the owner of said vehicle! Got to laugh :bored: Not checked it for a while. So it might have been around for a couple of...

    Cloning R-Link SD card

    If anyone is interested. I've just put up a guide of how to clone the R-Link SD card on the official Renault sport forums. http://www.renaultsport.co.uk/forum/default.aspx?g=posts&t=87540 Could not find anything on the internet about this, so thought it might be of interest. Always handy to...

    Top Gear first driving impressions - Clio Trophy 220t

    Not sure if anyone else has spotted this yet? http://www.topgear.com/car-reviews/renault/clio-200-renaultsport/renaultsport-220-trophy/first-drive They don't seem to be blown away. Think I'll reserve judgement till there's a "proper" review. Can't say I'm a great fan of their "witty" (???)...

    200t now knackered after safety recall work

    Don't know what the garage did to it yesterday ... but it's now knackered. Wont idle evenly when warmed up. Almost stalls at times. From cold the engine for no real reason will suddenly shoot to 1,500/2,00 RPM! Not funny if you've just selected reverse!!! And a couple of times the accelerator...

    Autoexpress group test RS Cli/ Fiesta ST/Juke RS Nismo

    If any one is interested. There's a half decent group test of the above three cars in Autoexpress this week (got it through the post this morning). No great surprises here: 1) Fiesta st ... 5* 2) RS Clio 200t ... 4* 3) Juke RS Nismo ... 3* If being totally honest and judging the cars purely as...

    200t clocking noise on full lock straightening up

    As title says really. For example: Turning right out of our drive (slow speed manoeuvre), steering on full right lock and as you straighten up, the steering doesn't really self centre. You have to sort of feed it through your hands a bit and there is a loud clonking noise and a vibration...

    Rusty nuts! ... 200t

    Hi folks... Six month old 200t and some what disappointed to notice that pretty much all the wheels nuts are starting to rust. First car that I've had with alloy wheels that I've noticed it happening quite this soon. Anyone else noticed this? PS. I don't and never have, used any sort of...

    Clio 200t side lights

    Thought mine had blown when I first got the car. But then I realised that it only appears to dim the DRL's when putting the side lights on. Question.. I see though that it has "normal" side lights as well. Can you activate these somehow? Seems a bit daft to have both if you can't! Unless it's...

    R-link store query

    No big issue really. But when I go into the R-link store (in car ... on the odd occasion there is a connection to it) I now seem to get "unauthorised purchase" if I try and buy something. Have pulled the card and updated and bought a couple of free things via my PC (R-link toolbox). So that bit...

    200t launch control

    Right... on the principle that you absolutely MUST pull every knob and twiddle every dial (so to speak) on a new car (well 2nd hand in my case). Now I've had the car a few days, I thought it was time to try the launch control. Not likely to want to make a habit of this, but it's got to be done...

    Finally... my new 200t

    Not exactly a new member, been lurking (and moaning) for a while now. But new car order cancelled (ludicrous delays) and 48 hours later drove this home to bonny Scotland from Renault Manchester (retail group). Thanks to clio_200t for his assistance here as well :clap: Besides clean it. Not...

    New Clio 200t order... not overly impressed

    Just been into the dealer for an update on my order. Good news I assume, is that it now has a chassis number allocated to the order. The bad news is that the "estimated" delivery date is now 18-31st December (I'm assuming 2014 here!). That will be over 6 months! compared to the original 3 months...

    Soon to be 200t owner

    Hi there Mike from sunny SW Scotland (great driving roads round here), I've been lurking for a few weeks now and asked a couple of questions etc. And I finally got round to ordering a new Clio 200t in flame red last week, subject to a decent test drive when the dealer got a demo up for me to...

    200t reversing camera

    Hi... Just wondering if anybody knows if the reversing camera on the new 200T comes with the standard audible reversing sensors (IE. beep. beep...) or is it just the camera? Asked the dealer when ordering my Clio 200t but they were a bit vague on the subject (almost as vague as when their...

    Renault Customer Service and support

    Hi there.... Just registered on the forum as I've been starting to think about replacing my Suzuki Swift sport (latest model - 2012) come September / October of this year. Now really need a 4-door as we've recently sold our 2nd car (boring but practical Skoda Fabia) and the Suzuki, nice as it...
