    Dilemma of which Renault sport, post your experiences

    Hi, I test drove a Megane 250 Cup and Clio Sport 200 back to back today and I can't decide which is better. The car will mainly be a daily driver with occasional trackday use.

    Fault Code Readers (emissions light related)

    Heard a rumor that if you plug a Fault Code Reader in and cancel the emissions light (de-cat) it will go off and stay off? is this true? I would figure it would just come back on again after XXX-miles, does anyone have an informed insight or better a code reader (southampton way)?
