abs sensors for 182 and availability

[Harry the Dog]

I have a Nov. 2005 Clio RS 182 that requires the correct abs sensor on the left rear. I purchased two from a very good local factor, but neither fit. Steve at Birchdown tells me the sensor heads are at the wrong angle. The factor had been able to use Renault data which correctly identified my chassis no.: VF 1CB22OF34669289 (reg. EM55 COE), but said that my car was not fitted with ESP according to Renault. A contemporary Auto Express test of a 182 Cup asserts that ESP was fitted as standard, my handbook contains two pages on the ESP, and my dash has the correct symbol of a skidding car, lit up as well as the abs light currently. Does anyone know if my full-fat 182 with a Cup chassis option would have definitely had ESP? More to the point, who can supply them anymore? The thread referring to the Stark/ Triscan sensor issue is a lead (!) I have followed to an extent, but after great hassle re a replacement alternator, even when I new exactly what I required, I am wary of paying for more sensors that don't fit. If I find a reliable supplier, I will let you all know.

I bought this one for my 172 (but total 182 running gear etc) rear right linked.
Fits and works all okay.

I’ve restored 3 Clio Sport 182s FF with ESP and replaced rear ABS sensors on every car. They’re a fortune but the only ones I’ve used are those on the K Tec racing site - https://k-tecracing.com/products/oe-spec-clio-2-rs-abs-sensors

I know there are some cheaper alternatives but I stick with what I know works.

This is the correct one, although it was a lot cheaper when I got mine.

Here’s a picture of one of my old beams with sensors still in place. Might help you a bit. NSR (left) two male pins and the shorter of the two. OSR (right) female plug and much longer.

Some good info in this thread, Triscan ones seem to work fine and aren't ridiculously expensive: https://cliosport.net/threads/clio-182-rear-abs-sensor-availability.834443/
My 182 with cup packs definitely has ESP.

Many thanks for your trouble, and various very helpful replies and photographs. I will purchase from one of the suggested suppliers, and re-book it at Birchdown, when they have finished jobs with my wife's identical 182! There is great comfort in having Andy and Steve sorting our cars out.
