    Clio 182 Instrument Clocks Half Illumination/Backlight

    Yeah that makes sense - appreciate your help! Yes I did come across your posts/other pics of conversions to white LED - but think I would like to keep it how it 'should be' and original as will most likely be looking to sell the car soon rather than modify/upgrade the lights!

    Clio 182 Instrument Clocks Half Illumination/Backlight

    Ah bugger - might be more involved than I thought! I think now then may be worth double checking fuses etc first then and then take the dash section out and hopefully maybe even find a loose/corroded connection or a simple fix - if not may be a specialist job to fix!

    Clio 182 Instrument Clocks Half Illumination/Backlight

    Hi all, I have noticed that on my 2005 Clio 182 only half of the dials/clocks on the instrument cluster light up when the lights are on - I suspect the bulb may have gone as I don't think a fuse or similar would cause half to not work - but there seems to be lots of conflicting information on...

    Dirty 182 Seat Belts

    Use any type of detergent on a seatbelt with incredible caution. Washing Power is possibly one of the worst things to use! You have to remember the belt is made of tightly woven synthetic fabric, and of course its potentially what could save your life one day, the use of chemicals/detergents...

    claying

    My personal technique for claying is: - Cut a small peice of clay, mould into a shape that is about 5cm x 5cm. - Spray lube onto both the clay, and the paintwork you are claying, be sure to spray liberally for the first few passes to 'prime' the clay bar. - Continue, passing over each section...

    Tesco/Asda APC?

    IMO, much better to go for an APC that has been specifically designed for use in, and around vehicles. MSC's often have harsh chemicals in that are designed to kill bacteria etc, which aren't necessary in an APC, and can often stain plastics. It also works out much more cost effective to go for...

    Newly refurbed wheels

    Ideally, use a dedicated wheel sealant such as Poorboys Wheel Sealant. Apply as many coats as you possibly can, i'd recommend around 5 coats to see you through around 12 months. You can apply a coat, buff it off, then apply another, and keep going until your arms fall off with no problems...

    Trim Stuff

    Chemical Guys Natural Look, or Chemical Guys New Look Trim Gel. By far the 2 best trim products around. Black Wow is also a good product, but costly.

    Anyone used R222 100% Wax?

    Pretty impossible. Solid 100% carnuaba wax is ROCK SOLID. Aswell as the cost. Can't be true.
