The trip odometer in my sisters 182 has stopped working. Its just blank under the normal odometer. Can anyone advise me of a possible fix for it?

Nice but i hope you had some axle stands under it when you were changing the system...

My mate did the Valet, his company name and phone number is on the side of the van in first pic.

Dropped the beam down and pulled it out. Was easy enough, hardest bit was getting it high enough to allow the axle to drop far enough. It involved some axle stands and breeze blocks. Standard system is been kept as if she ever sells it it will be refitted.

Here are a few pictures of my sister Racing blue Clio 182. She has had it a few months now and has a couple of small plans for it. Nothing major just sorting out little bits on it, possibly some trendlines and maybe lowering it slightly. She bought a BTB exhaust for it yesterday so i...

Think thats what i got from Halfords. Locktite gasket liquid or something like that iirc Would not mind but its my bloody sisters RB182 i am working on....

Got a BTB exhaust today and the quality is really really good. However i have a few questions about them: 1. Should the standard exhaust rubber retaining screws work on the BTB system? It seems the size is larger in the BTB hangers than the standard screws? 2. Should i start by lining up...

So basically whip the back bumper off and then wiggle the exhaust out of the back if the join is a bit corroded?

How hard is it to remove the exhaust and refit it on a 182? Are there any big potential headaches or is it all not that bad?

I believe it to be a kit car.

Can anyone advise me as to what size battery a Clio 182 should be fitted with? Currently my sisters 182 would seem to have a battery in that is to large and its stopping the airbox fitting inplace as it should.

Looking at the top of the fitting.

They have had a mandrel bender for years.

TBH that does not look like a restrictor just a standard -4 or 03 male male fitting. A oil restrictor should have a hole in it the size of a pin hole. Also here is where i would place a vac take off:
