Having had a 182 FF and 172 Cup when younger, I've always fancied getting back in to another RS Clio and currently on a serious hunt to find a nice example. Having done the 1*2 it's a 200 I am after - for my eyes the 200 looks more modern and reviews suggest it addressed some of the criticism so...

After quite a few years of absence I've decided this year is the year I can justify getting a track day hack and getting back behind the seat of a Clio. Used to read this forum all the time and have owned a 172 Cup and 182 FF (oh and a little 1.2 16v) and always said that it would be my car of...

Hi guys, looking at the MOT advisory notes from last September for my recently acquired 172 Cup it states: Macpherson strut has slight movement at upper attachment (both O/S and N/S). A guy from a local tyre garage immediately diagnosed it as being loose simply by bouncing up and down on the...

Hi all, Been a while since Ive been on this forum! Ended up with my sister's 1.2 '04 Clio as a daily drive (not quite the 182 I used to have!) and its got a few problemms. I will probably have to get it checked at a garage at some stage but if there is anything I can do with it myself Id like...

Just trying to sort out a misfire problem which only occurs when the car is cold. Rstuner comes up with "O2 Heater fault" which had me completely confused because it sounds like it was to do with the heating matrix. Ive just thought: does the clio use heated lambda sensors? This would explain...

Misifirng when cold and lower than usual fuel economy, emissions light on constantly. RStuner states Front 02 sensor faulty, I've searched the forum for a while and few posts suggest this is in the top of the inlet plunum while other says its just before the cat. I want to take it out and...

I recognised the number plate for some reason, project thread or something? No idea why I do lol. Silver W-reg, cs.net sticker on rear. Parked in the snow opposite the Guildford odeon in car park.

Doing my usual trolly collecting for my w**k student job I go for random walks around Kings Mead shopping centre, I stand out quite abit since I am in BRIGHT ORANGE high vis rain coat lol. Anyways: Always see a Silver 182, private plate T11 *** (or simular) parked in the delivery bit at Asda...

My old man collected his new car last week, been out in it a few times and its lurvely, the sound is epic! Took a few photos today. Excuse the crap camera phone and the fact i can't take photos for s**t.

I was standing outside the Co-op shop in Guildford two days ago, just up from the train station. Monaco 172 with exhaust and CS sticker pulled up. I probably freaked you out because I was playing "Guess the owner" whilst looking into Co-op lol......my uneducated mate was looking for a...

Had the new DS2500s and Brembo HCs(and braided lines) on the car for about a hundred miles now. I've tried bedding in the rotors and pads as per instructions (25-30 runs @ 50% braking force for 4 seconds) but experienced enormous brake fade after run number 15 or so. Since then I have had...

At the Kinson end of Castle lane, in slow moving traffic. The Clio V6 saw a gap in traffic and booted the crap out of it, sounded awesome (even with windows up, aircon on and radio!) and looked pretty damn fast. Two or three cars behind was a black 182 with tinted rear windows and passenger. I...

Rubbish with my paint colour names but I think its Monaco blue. Was a pretty brief meeting down Ringwood Highstreet trying to work our way around the damn parked cars but I'm sure I saw a Cliosport sticker on the back in my mirror....also a ring sticker? Had aftermarket exhaust, sounded cool...

Whilst changing Sparks I have pulled out the small airfeed that comes off the air intake, just after the airbox and just before it enters the inlet manifold. Its a very short lead, 10" or so but I can't see where it plugs back in :| *Feel an idiot lol" Where does it go? Thanks

Only a few days into Clio ownership and the car packs in, ah well! As with loads of other people, emission light has flashed on and off, car is idling very erratic, misfiring on several cylinders all the time (its struggle to stop it stalling) and is totaly undrivable. Reading threads, it...

Hey, I thought I'd reintroduce myself seeing as Ive actaully gone and bought a car now! I live in Bournemouth, Ive seen a few people with CS stickers driving around the area so I'll be keeping an extra keen eye out, dont be afraid to wave lol. Any meets or events in the area I'm definitely on...

Just a very quick post (late for work). Went to view a blue 2004 182 with Cup packs today in Winchester. Car seemed very tidy, well looked after and had no faults I could see. Noticed a CS sticker in the rear window, was told the previous owner sold it to buy a new renaultsport 197. Reg is...

Hey, just introducing myself here. Im Ben from Bournemouth. My last car was a Seat Leon Cupra R, got the hot hatch bug but want something a little smaller and cheaper and think a 182 fits the bill. Planning on tracking it at Castle combe, Abingdon and a few other places in the south so perhaps...
