Quick question folks, Is the 197 manifold the same as the 200? I have a 200 and the flexis are blowing. I've seen a 197 one at a keen price and wondered if its a straight swap. Many thanks

They will all pull a bit in my experience. Mine had a mix of budget tyres on when I bought it which I got rid of straight away for a full set of Exalto's. It still pulls a bit when on certain roads, and like your car, mine is mechanically sound. I put it down as a trait of the car.

Around £70 a month for me. That includes the (short) trip to work and the obligatory Sunday morning hoon.

Yes, standard wheels painted white.

As above, an RB 182 with white wheels spotted in Asda car park around 7.30pm. Looked very tidy....anyone on here?

Reverse light switch?

It's just tyre noise, every one I've been in does it. Save yourself some money and don't worry about it!

Could be the coil pack on its way out. They tend to fail under load although I'm not sure why it wouldn't happen in 5th gear. Your best bet is to get it diagnosed and see if it throws up any error codes, as it could be a multitude of things to be honest. Good luck with it.

Nope, just a stubby ratchet.....simples ;)

You don't need to remove the airbox, there's enough room to change it as it is. Took me 10 mins tops to remove and fit a new one.

Metric

Good stuff :).....just call it a pint then :rasp:

That post would give me peace of mind if I was in the market for a 182. To the OP, snap it up, it sounds like a great car.

I paid around £20 quid each for mine, can't remember exactly. If you do replace them have your tracking checked afterwards :)

Could even be worn track rod ends. Knackered ones totally ruin the feel of a clio and can cause wandering and pulling under hard acceleration.
