No. They are not one of those - I've got one of them in the kit. Maybe I've got some sort of generic kit and these belong to another model. I think you guys would have recognised them if they were 182. By the way Gus, all my problems turned out to be bent valves in the head/engine I got from...

Yeah, I wondered that but can't see where they would go - got the usual inlet gasket in the kit

Just rebuilding the head. A silly question no doubt but where do these rubber rings go

Having problems with diagnosing my Clio 182. Is anyone with Clip prepared to have a look at it? I'm in Twyford near Reading and happy to pay for time and travel.

Will have a go at that. On checking for leaks I have realised that when the ignition is on, operating the throttle causes the butterfly to be either fully open or fully closed. The throttle body also constantly buzzes. I guess it should operate progressively even when the engine isn't...

That was my initial thought but I have checked it all over for air tightness about ten times. Got all new gaskets. I'll give it another go though. I am thinking either a major air leak somewhere as you suggest or the throttle body isn't communicating with the ecu causing it to over fuel.

Little bit of background. My Clio 182 has been off the road since 2013 when the engine was trashed. I bought it a couple of years ago, put a low mileage replacement engine in it and have been struggling on and off since to get it going. When started it revs to 3000rpm on its own and as it...

Think that's maybe the way I will be going - one of the mounting bolts has sheared.

Thanks for that. Mine seems to be working ok so the search continues......

What was the problem? Mine is doing the same

Thanks Mate. I'll continue the search though i'm feeling like putting the old girl on the scrap heap!

Checked and cleaned the earth as you suggested and the pump is now running. Still problems though! After much cranking it eventually fires on a couple of cylinders and chugs then dies. Every now and then though it'll chug for a bit and then fire up on all four and sounds good - but it'll only...

I'll check that out tomorrow

If that is the case (the immobiliser light goes out on the dash when the ignition is turned on), what can I do about it?
