Hi all, this is on a 182, and both rear calipers brake fine off the footbrake, but the nearside one with the handbrake doesnt seem to be working much, at all. Not delved into the brakes on a 182 as yet besides changing pads... How do I go about sorting it? Cant be the piston or sliders as both...

My washers ran out of washing fluid a few days ago, previous to this worked fine. Ive filled up the bottle yesterday with the correct dilution, and now the squirt is sort of a very fast intermittent? Like not a strong jet like before but a feeble fast sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh and not much...

JCT 36 convoy car, I saw ya at the meet earlier this evening! haha. Also saw quite a few other Renault sports... didnt get close enough as they were leaving when we turned up. Saw Christine in the Megane too, that thing sounds sweet fp.

Basically i've been offered the opportunity to head out to Canada until November, and i'm a bit stuck on what to do with the car, a couple of options I have are; -Insure the car for a year, let the mother drive it a couple of times a month to keep it ticking over (not keen) -Store it indoors...

Sorry mods if its under my nose and i'm being blind...i swear a bit back I came across a sort of appreciation thread for only black 1*2's, Been searching and searching and cannot find it?? Looking for a little inspiration for mine

Hi all to cut a long story short, Ive got a Spax RSX kit currently on the car and an FK Konigsport kit just arrived today in the box. I only intend on keeping one kit, and probably sell the other kit to a friend, so my question is this; No one on here has given a bad review of either kit...

As per the title really, whats out there which hold their own on a track in 195-40/45 and 205/40/45 for a £300 budget? I'll be doing the odd few trackdays this year, but not looking for a seriously soft compound as the car is a daily... 205 tyres would be my ideal choice, but in the low...

doesn't seem a bad looking car, with a bit of work? Although I LOL'd at some of his figures:D http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/clio-1-8-16v-clio-sport-172-182-bhp-f4r-engine-conversion-/221170645021?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item337ecc381d

Off a Renault parts seller on ebay. Noticed yesterday one of them has shat the fluid all out. Is there some sort of unseen warranty with brand new parts or is it up to sellers discretion? As I doubt the new shocks have even covered 2000 miles. thanks

I saw ya :) car looked clean!

Whats been done to the 172? Me and my brother were in the 16v white saxo, could hardly catch you and definatley couldn't pull away from you! the 182 sounded awesome too...Yozza'd?

See a lot of these on ebay, for £23-ish each? My standard rear shocks are leaking and in need of replacement, came across these and wondered has anyone had experience of them. I know Trophy's are fitted with Sachs suspension, are these the same 'Sachs' breed as the Trophy use?

hi there Just a thought that ran through my head this minute, so please dont shoot me down in flames There are a lot more second hand coilover kits around for non cup packed cars than cup packed, so the question which arose is are the front hubs interchangeable? Is it possible to switch a 60mm...

As above really, mint looking blue cup with personalised reg outside halfords in a retail park on the way into leamington spa. And as I was driving out pas the petrol station, had a black 172 follow me out? Also looked mint. I went for a nose round town after CSS haha

then it poured down. had half the car coated in carnauba wax at the time:dapprove: Went round with a MF cloth and quickly wiped it down, im guessing the car is going to look like one big streak in the morning. And all for a last minute detail session before CSS! Whats the next option? Im...

Wondering what products to use to get rid of the white marks on plastic trims left by polish (in this case Meguiars scratch X) thanks

Saw your LY down at Waynes earlier, what an amazing colour! Never seen one properly in the flesh. total minter;)

With the french car show just around the corner, I'm looking for a good kit to detail my 182 with. What do you use on your black clio's? Ill be looking to clay bar it too, and something for the alloys and to dress the tyres Thanks :)

Used the search, and found out trophy offset is ET45, and cup offset Is ET 38.5. How do I decipher this on the actual alloys themselves though? Off to look at a set later on and could do with knowing what I'm looking forThanks

during a fight with my cabasse cd player the other week I was instructed to give it a good sharp hard smack, as it wasnt giving my cd's back. During this a 2A spade type fuse fell out from under the passenger footwell somewhere and i've since noticed my headlight washers arent working :s whereas...

Took my 182 to the local tyre fitting garage to get the tracking checked, as the fronts appeared to be wearing hard on the outsides, and the steering would be all over the place on a rough road. They had a huge tracking chart on the wall with all the toe in/ out measurements on, according to...

I was in an BG 182, on the way from hexham to carlisle, you overtook me and a lorry in front. Didn't know there was such a car as a 200 shape trophy, was beautiful :)

hi all quick question for you guys clued up on engines ect.. a friend of mine has blown up the engine in his 51 plate clio 172 (non cup) and claims its going to cost £2k to buy another engine for it. I've seen a clio cup engine selling on here for £400 with ancilliaries, and asked why didnt he...

Do you guys leave out the rubber pads that come on the standard springs or fit them back in? In the middle of sticking a set of sportlines on my 182 and figured that if i leave the pads out i've get between 5-10mm lower on the rear. thanks

saw the RB this morning and the 172 this evening on my way home from work. Anyone off here?

...On gordini stripes on a Black Gold 182? Havent seen one with them, wondering what the general opinion is of the clio's with the stripes on, fitted originally when the car was sold or afterwards thanks

Hi all Travelled down to surrey on saturday to pick up my new BG 182, rang my insurance company, swapped over the policy from my old car to this one, and clearly spelled out the registration a couple of times, paid the fee and they tell me its all gone through ok and the vehicle is insured from...

Been looking at a 182 with 80k on the clock, got FSH and stamped in the book up to 50k at which point the car had a complete refurbed engine change by Renault (seen the receipt) via one of the previous owners. But the car is now on 80k, and theres no service history up to this point? It clearly...
