Hey people, Lately I am getting rather cheesed off with the amount of bird/seagul/eagle excrement on the car... one drop on the bonnet was only on for about 36 hours (forgot to wipe it off) and the fu*ker has left a stain on the clearcoat :mad: I'm also going on holiday next week and do not...

Hey people, I will soon be having some de-denting done in Essex... The dents range from standard door dinks in the rear and driver side doors, to a "naughty" one (I quote the PDR specialist!) on the passenger door where some cretin rammed a trolley into it as Tesco's in Northampton. We will...

Hi all, I know the whole cambelt/aux belt thing has been hammered home in the forums but there's just a few things i needed to check/whinge about/ask. Car is a 54 plate, first registered in January 2005. Despite reading Edde's service guide for the 182 sometime ago (...

Hi all, to cut a long story short a coin dropped down there earlier! I'm worried it will cause some damage and/or make another annoing rattle, is it possible to get it out? Any tips? Do the vents just lift out? Would appreciate some advice from eperienced vent removers!!...

Hey People, Had my 36k service done yesterday at Ren-O-Tec in Chelmsford (As i'd heard, was a top job by Martin and very pleased)... He recommended that I replace the exhaust mounts as they have perished. Have searched on here but couldnt see any guides that talk a nye on car DIY idiot like...

Hey people, out and about driving and the warning light has just come on. Its orange, but doesn't have 'stop' inside it. Have my 36k service booked in 3 weeks, car has done 35.5k. Seems to be driving ok, not noticing any difficulties. Last time we had this warning light it was when we had some...

Hi all, Do you have any recommendations on how to keep the window rubber seals (i.e. the bit on the exterior around the window) looking nice and shiny and new? When they are wet they look awesome, but as soon as they dry they go all dull again! I have tried back-to-black, Simonz etc, but...

Hey people, Quick question - my silver side bullets have a lot of dirt and cr*p on them that just wont lift off during washing. I know they are only a cheap plastic so don't want to use anything to harsh on them or discolour/mark them... Any tips on how to get them up good as new? Thanks! ;)

Yo people, Have the 36k service coming up in a couple of months, and know its going to be pricey even if i go to a Ren specialist instead of steelers... To try and save a couple of quid i was thinking of doing the oil filter and oil change (and pads if needed) before taking it in for the...

Hey people, I will soon have some brand spanking new mats that I would like to fix... I have the fixing kit from my last set, and that looks straight forward enough. BUT the new mats aren't going to have any fixing holes in them. I don't have a lot of tools so i'm going to have to borrow...

All, On a different post ( http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=375397&page=4 ) Someone gave a link for the new RS interior matts product code for the 182 with Renault, the website is: http://www.renaultsport.co.uk/commun...d=RSEN0808NL07 I called up my local Renault parts and he...

Hi Guys, I have bought some Autosol to clean up my exhausts, they have built up a lot of staining... Have read previous threads on autosol, but am concerned about one thing... Will scrubbing the exhausts with wire wool scratch them up? I don't want to ruin them and/or put loads of scratches...

I'm not new to the forum, but didnt know where else to write this... In my humble opinion, this festive make-over is bloody annoying! It makes everything so un-user friendly and harder to read! I am as festive as the next man, but bring back the old format, otherwise i wont be logging on until...

Yo people, Going to do an oil and filter change soon, just wondering what oil filters people go for... do you stick to those supplied by Renault or do you go for other brands? Any recommendations/warnings? Also, how difficult is replacing the filter? I have done it before on other cars, just...

Parked on a little driveway down Rememberance Avenue... Say hi if your on here!

Hey people, I have just forked out to get my wheels refurbed, and chuffed with the results... the great thing about it is now the wheels are spotless! Thing is, i want them to stay this way, or at least want to make cleaning them as easy as possible.... Obviously i want to protect them from...

Hey all, To cut a long story short, a couple of weekends ago the mrs and I had a barnstormer of an argument in the car. Knowing that i was mostly in the wrong, I acted like a complete d1ck and reversed at high speed (flat to floor), with my foot still on the clutch... When i stopped, there was...

Gave the car a good detail inside yesterday and noticed how grubby the seatbelts were!... Gave them a good scrub with soapy water but didn't do much! How do you guys clean them? Is there an easier way to do it than taking them off? OR is it relatively simple to take them off? Ideas sil vous...

Had this voucher through the post, just wondered if people thought it was worth getting it done? Car is a 54 182 with 30500 on clock... How much would the service cost normally? Is the air con service part of the standard service schedules? Thanks! ;)

I just fancy a rant to be honest! :mad: Today i had to get a tyre repaired for about the 6th time in 12 months because of a nail! Luckily it was bang in the middle of the tread, so fairly cheap (£20 inc. balance/valve).... but its still soooooooooooo annoying! Just can't understand where i'm...

Hey, Going to buy this soon to do my first (for me and the car!) clay... This stuff is ok for a beginner yeah? Also, will one pack of it do the whole car, or should i buy 2? What kind of time frames am i looking at? Also, once I have clayed, I will AG SRP and AG EGP, how long do i need to...

I know there was a meet in Kent at the weekend, that was very successful by all accounts, but i read that a few people missed it that wanted to attend, myself being one of them as i didn't realise the thread was in the local meets section (previously never checked it!). I'm putting this in the...

Just browsing around, and saw these.... http://www.wheel-base.co.uk/proddetail_fit.asp?prod=16Ace216 Obviously look better in anthracite, but thought they looked good, and at a reasonable price... I like the alloys that stretch out to the edge of the rim, makes them look bigger when a tyre is...

Hey people, Once i have pulled a few minor dings out of the car I want to get it machine polished to remove some light swirls and a few surface scratches (that are not visible when the car is wet so they are not major imperfections). My aim is to remove the dents, clay, then PC, then seal, wax...

Noticed this recently, given the monsoons we have been having.... Never noticed it before to be honest, the only think i have done different is apply a coat of AG SRP, that was about 2 weeks ago... The rain sits on the roof in loads of droplets, some quite big, and now it has dried off there's...

Want to pick up an Arctic blue touch up pen soon (code J41 i believe)... Dealer said they are about £10.... i assume this is where people pick them up from or does it get any cheaper?... I hate the way with Renault there is no negotiation, nice touches added... you'd think after buying a car...

Hey people, Washed the car early yesterday evening (5pm ish) - usual process, hose down, 2 buckets with shampoo, hose down again then wipe down. BUT the side that was in the sun had water marks on, particularly on the windows, and no matter what i did, the fu*kers wouldn't come off! I had a...

Dropped my mate off after squash and saw it on the drive... nice and clean, very tidy! Say hi if you are on here!

Hey people, Joined up in April and am ashamed to say that i never officially said hello and introduced myself to everyone as I was stressing out over my uni finals! Anyway, finished now and far more chilled! We (g/f and I) have a FF Clio 182 (untouched) and love it like a baby! Enjoy your...

Saw this in my local accessory shop today.... about £35 for 6 litres What's this stuff like? Anybody used it? How does it compare to the Shell Helix that the dealers throw in?.... Cheers people! ;)
