You'll regularly see my black 182 around bowl xtreme as I work in Perdiswell so I'm there 5/6 days a week, though I live in Kidderminster now

Yeah we found it, thanks, sadly doesnt seem to have been the coil pack though!

Hi there, just replaced the coil pack on my 04 plate 182 (was misfiring) now when I start it up the engine is over revving. My friend thinks it might be an air leak or that the air flow sensor or something else might have become disconnected when we took the engine apart but I wondered if you...

[/URL][/IMG] Sorry to hijack can anyone tell me if there should be a seal or a gasket on here? Have replaced the cool pack, put back together and it's over revving, suspecting an air leak or a dislodged air sensor <a...

So do you think the timing belt went under the pressure of the gearbox breaking? Obviously it's bent all 16valves now and caused got knows what other damage so may ask for a replacement engine swell as gearbox what do you think?

I didnt take it back to the original garage because that's in Birmingham and I was approaching Droitwich and didn't want it to seize on the Motorway, Fred was the closest place at the time I have spoke to the garage who are happy to just replace the gearbox at no cost to me but have suggested...

Hi All Please feel free to shout and jeer at me as I'm not too clued up on all this but this is briefly what happened: The driveshafts needed replacing on my car, I took it somewhere to have them replaced and in the process of doing this they drained the gearbox oil, it seems they failed to...

Hi all My Clio developed a grinding noise from the engine the other night, its quite loud and if i had to guess i'd say it sounds like one of the pulleys attached to the cam belt, any ideas..?

Hi, probably a really simple question, my 172 phase 2 has Xenon lights like most i suppose but Ive been confused when looking for a replacement bulb as a friend told me mine were gas emitting bulbs as opposed to something i can purchase from halfords, Halfords say not, help!

Thats what I thought, maybe cos of the central column to the bottom of the steering wheel they need to push that to one side to use the clamp

It wasnt before I took it in this morning, it was perfectly straight

I'm not expert.. I had two new tyres on the front of my car this morning and they did alignment, balance etc... but now when i hold the steering wheel straight whilst driving, it goes slightly right, so to go straight I have the keep the steering wheel slightly to the left, if I took it back can...

My 02 plate clio 172 ff has just passed the 99,000m mark, I'm gutted, less than 1000m to go and she'll have done 100,000m. I check pistonheads and autotrader to see what price mine would fetch but never see any with more than 100,000miles on the clock. The time will come to sell it soon and...

I was the 02 plate Silver 172 :)

Yeh, I def wanna do it again but doubt i'll improve on the 15.5 run, shes on 94000 miles now so dont wanna make a habit of drag racing for the remainder of my ownership of this car
