2012 R.S Clio 200
Discussion
Narrow steels would have been ideal for winter. But they're surprisingly hard to get hold of, then expensive when you can.
These Laguna wheels will have more use for winter tyres and possibly track tyres too coming summer time.
Car looked fantastic as I passed you in Llandow too mate.

You should notice the difference running it on super, shouldn't have a lumpy idle. It'll take a few days for the car to adjust to super, depending on how often you use the car.
It shouldn't the ECU should recognise the change in fuel quality and adjust the timing in milliseconds.BaronVonVaderham said:
It's also been said that the ECU 'learns' your driving style over a period of time and can adjust accordingly. Nice and lean for pootling about but gets a bit more firey on track/ when being driven like it's stolen. Never had this verifed though...
Maybe in a ferrari, it sounds a bit too posh an ECU for renault.I'm guessing your car was virtually empty at the time of filling it up? Given it was the better fuel that went straight through the lines?
Edit: not sounding arsey, genuine question. I run mine down to not far off empty when filling up with a fresh tank

Correct. Mine did. As soon as I started it up and pulled out the garage it felt better straight away.gez c16b said:
Something's not right then mate. Don't blame you, take it back.
What mileage is it on now?
Just a smidge over 6k miles. Dropped it off this morning. When it was last in for this 2 weeks ago they told my GF that the fault could not be found and no warning lights were on when they started it. Presumably they reset the ecu and cleared the codes. Had her over a treat and lo and behold the light came on again aswell as the check engine light. I`ve told them I dont want it back until its properly fixed and I receive an explanation why it threw an error and what has been done to rectify it. My guess is a dicky lambda sensor which would also explain the lumpy running - we shall wait and see .....What mileage is it on now?
Sure enough , they have just rung and finally they have diagnosed a faulty " downstream oxygen sensor ". I assume this is Renault speak for Lambda sensor ! Hopefully all the lumpyness I`ve been experiencing can be put down to this also. Part due in end of the week so the car will go back for the 3rd time in as many weeks to have it resolved.
Brilliant result! At least the problem will be solved now 
Happy ownership from here on hopefully
That's why yours must have been almost stalling on cold idle, the car relies on the 2 lambda sensors to set itself up.
Closed loop fuelling or something iirc.
Let us know the result when you get it back mate
