Yeah thats what im actually jacking it up on now where as before, i jacked it up on the sill nearest to me (the thin shitty one) lol. Lesson learnt :(

cheers guys, yeah its in really good condition all round tbh. No rust or anything. and yeah i dont think i be jacking my car up on the front sills no more. Trouble is i cant get my jack underneath the front of the car past the sill, so im having to jack up the rear axle slightly, put the...

Go on to ebay and search for trs tow strap. I went for an adjustable one so you can set it to how ever much you want it to hang over the bumper

haha ahh right, are they really that much better? lowering springs are just lowering springs to me, didnt think it made much difference as to what make you go for? :/

Cheers bud, so happy with it!

Hey guys, I thought it was about time i started up a project thread for my clio 182 seeing as ive owned her for 5 months now! I'd been on the look out for a clio for quite some time after my mate at work decided to take me for a blast in his 172 cup. I couldnt believe how quick they are and how...

yeah it was flicking through the voltages pretty quickly. It would flick through like... 68 - 762 - 104 - 700 - 90. I thought aslong as its going from high to low (with in 100 - 800mv) then it should be fine. and it was fluctuating between low and high voltage like every second. I used autel...

Got it sorted. Turned out to be a faulty pre cat lambda sensor. I swapped them over before i started to work, reset my trip and got an average 35mpg. It even went up to 37mpg at one point (drving like a grandad the whole way home). I cant believe it, it was only out a fraction on the live data...

Il be doing the cambelt in january, i just wanted to carry out every other check i can before then so i know everything else is in good working order. Its literally just had an mot and passed on emissions. When i say the mpg doesnt rise over 28mpg on the motorway, im only doing about 3 miles on...

thats at idle

Ran a diagnostic check on it today, no faults found, Heres a few figures from the live data pre cat lambda reading 68mv - 692mv Fluctuating well) post cat lambda stays at 409.92 mv water temp 86* manifold pressure 1046 mbar air temp 48c idle 800rpm throttle postion 3 degrees. idle reg idle...

Right ok lads thanks so much for the help. Il plug in the diagnostic equipment tomorrow and see what sort of figures ive got. The cambelt and dephaser need replacing early part of next year anyway so i think il change the timing belt sooner rather than later, see if the timings out at all and go...

Hey guys, newbie here. Im currently having mpg issues with my clio 182. It just wont go any higher than 28mpg even with motorway driving. Im going to check the tyre pressures and swap the lambdas round incase the pre cat lambda is faulty. I know the brakes arent binding and its recently had a...
