So I’ve established that the clutch cable hasn’t snapped and is connected both ends. I can rotate the semi-circular black ratchet and it springs back when let go. I assume there should be some sort of teeth that connect to the ratchet to stop it springing back?

Thanks, that’s a great help. A quick google suggests 25mm but it looks like no-one makes then aside from Renault.

Yes they do. All 6 speakers work when plugged directly into the headunit. Only the rear speakers and dash tweeters when through the amp. Thanks again.

Thanks for the reply. The Pioneer door speakers and tweeters just plugged straight in to the standard wiring and the amp is using the standard iso plugs so I’m now confused as hell as to why the tweeters are working but the door speakers aren’t!

How did you do it? I would like to replace the bolts that mount the hangers to item 10 on the fourth image. Anyone know the sizes required? Thanks.

So I didn’t buy a sub in the end. I bought a Connects2 Bluetooth adaptor that simply plugs into the cd changer port on the stereo and works very well. I also bought a Pioneer 4 channel amp which again simply plugs in. However, the 182 has six speakers and the 4 channels amplified are the rear...

The clutch pedal on my 04 182 had zero resistance the other day, just pushed freely to the floor. After tapping it with my foot a few times it just returned to normal. It has now gone back to zero resistance. I’ve checked the linkage rod is in place. I can turn the ratchet plastic manually with...

I am about to fit 172 Cup front dampers on my 182. Should I be fitting rear cup dampers also?

Finally worked out that the head unit uses standard ISO connectors?!! So no adapter harnesses needed.

Actually, the supplied amp with the Alpine SWE 1200 doesn't power speakers does it? Just the sub.

Thanks. I saw that but didn't realise that it was both amp and sub! Sounds good and solves the connection from amp to sub. Still confused on the cabling needed from head unit to amp and amp to speaker harness though...

I know that the best advice is to ditch the original head unit in my 2004 Clio 182. However, I would like to keep it looking original, so I'm going to stick with the Cabasse. I already have the Pioneer TS-Q131C door speakers and tweeters that I fitted years ago (and made very little difference)...

I’ve heard of and have tried using a razor on bobbly Alcantara but have not heard of sanding it. Does it work well?

Could you link to these? Heard of them but can't find them!

I’ve heard of Grange once or twice on here so assume they are fine for a belts change. Before I call them on Monday, any idea what they charge for a full 182 belts inc aux, dephaser and water pump?
