    Cheeky Clio DCI problem - any help?

    I have a 2010 clio 1.5 dci (86) I music on 56000 miles. Today when going uphill on a duel carriage way I noticed an odd problem. As I accelerated from 50 mph in 5th gear the revs smoothly increased from around 2000 rpm to 2200 rpm.... then dipped back to 2000 rpm without me changing the force...

    This listing is for 4 alloy wheels from a 2010 Renault Clio I music diesel. This listing does not include the valve caps (using them on my new wheels) or the bolts (as these are being used to hold my new wheels on! ) The alloy wheels came off a 2010 Clio 3 door that has covered 54000 miles -...

    New wheels - Clio I music

    Well - It has taken me ages but I finally have a picture of the alloys on the car. In my opinion it looks brilliant - I don't usually like to add a "semi - sporty" look to a car as I have usually been tarting up 1.2 clios. But this clio can just about get away with it as it has a bit of poke...

    I know this forum probably isn't the right place to ask about a scenic .... But after hours of internet trailing, a trip to the local garage (a Halfords.. I wasn't expecting much) and an inspection by the neighbour I still cannot find the cause/ resolution to this problem. I seem to remember...
