Had exactly the same on mine. It was an injector that needed replacing. £35 and 10 minutes later, all good.

Had the same on my 182, thought it was the pre cat lambda so changed that (it wasn't). Turned out it was a faulty injector, so replaced all four for peace of mind.

I cant see Carpro listed in the discount section. Am I being blind? Ignore me... found it in the detailing forum sticky.

I wouldnt mind getting hold of some of this to try. Am I too late?, did I miss it?

Yeah that one will work fine

182 = 16mm and 172 = 17mm (I think). Both are nyloc lol just noticed you have 1.2 so the above probably isn't much use!

If £40 is your budget for a wax, I don't think you'll go wrong with either Autoglym HD wax or Collinite 476

True, it is quite a high Alkali based cleaner. But then to be effective on wheels it either needs to be high in acidity or alkalinity. If not, you may as well stick to PH neutral shampoo/snowfoam and a brush. Used correctly and with a bit of common sense, I dont think it will do the wheels much...

I've recently been trying out some stuff called Viro-sol. About £7 for 5 litres, that you dilute 10:1, so will probably last a lifetime. It's pretty good stuff, it's cirtus based, so wont harm the alloy surface, and shifts muck and grime nicely. Still do a quick spray of Iron X though afterwards...

Seriously mate, get a wheel refurb company to do them. I've spent hours and hours of my life, filling, sanding, filling sanding.... and still not been really pleased with the results. For the sake of a couple of hundred quid, it just isnt worth the time and effort to do them yourself (unless...

Cheers for that. I've just had a look, and one of the shocks definitely looks like its bouncing up and down a bit much. Thats a job for the weekend then!

Hi I just picked up a Clio 182. This is my first Renaultsport (owned a Megane years ago). I came from an E46 BMW 325ci, which was nice enough, just a little bit dull. I'm not really into mods, if anything I prefer an OEM+ kind of look. The previous owner has fitted a Scorpion 192 exhaust, which...
