My 182 is old enough and has enough miles on it that I want to back off using it as my daily and just use it during summer weekends pretty much. I want to keep it covered all year round just in case my new daily has issues or I fancy a random drive in it, so I was wondering if a) a low mileage...

I’ve got a bunch of electrical gremlins and I’m starting to suspect a bad earth. What’s the best way to go about diagnosing if that’s actually the case? Current symptoms: fog light flickers when I brake even though I’ve cleaned up a badly corroded connector on the driver’s side rear light...

I was under the bonnet yesterday to fit a new coil pack, and have a poke around to investigate what I think is a bad earth. While having a look around the bay I noticed this connector near the passenger side front light cluster. Any idea what it is and where it should be plugged into? I couldn't...

Looks like I've got some checking to do then!

Do you need to clear codes after fiddling with resistors, to get the lights to (maybe) go out, or should they go out by themselves if everything is fine?

Ah, I see we have similar tastes :grimacing:

I used to have a 172 back in 2010 and was a member back then. I’ve had a bunch of other stuff since then but have always wanted another Clio. Fast forward to a couple of weeks ago and a mate was on about getting one, something cheap to muck about with. So I logged in here to check what was for...

I drive like an old man on the way to and from the missus, all motorway, so 40-42 there. The work commute is too short to get any economy and all the peeing around I do in the week to get to work and go shopping and stuff is about 33mpg. You can trivially get near/past the 40mpg mark on the...

2002 172 non-cup, 30yo, 1 years NCB (only been driving a year) and it's £780 ish. Renewal is just coming up funnily enough and they've (Elephant) quoted me £840. Shopping around just now on the popular comparison sites has the same joke quotes I got when I initially tried to insure it when I...

I got a knock on my rear quarter last year (http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=461298) and because I've been in the middle of breaking up with the ex missus and moving down south, I've not been able to do anything about it. Paint didn't break and the scuffs rubbed off alright, so...

I wish I bought an Inferno 182. Black just upsets me now, it's constantly filthy.

Was driving to see a friend this morning before work, indicated to turn right down a side road and slowed down, started the turn and got bumped by a nice lady behind in a Jag X-Type in the driver's side rear quarter. I glanced in my side mirror just before turning (although not over my...

Ah, I was off to the gym! Time to lose a bit of belly now I'm single :D

I got mine from here: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/GENUINE-Alcantara-Fabric-Dark-Grey_W0QQitemZ350234725129QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Crafts_Fabric_Textiles_SM?hash=item518b9dcb09&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14

Not my cup of tea really, can't find any angle that it looks good from. At the very least it needs a good set of alloys, I reckon anyway.
