    182 FF Blower not working

    I have no idea about resistor packs or blowers, but if the blower is working and there is no air it could be a split cog for the airflow selector. In the drivers footwell behind the centre console part there are lots of servos that select the hot to cold, where the air goes etc. These often...

    Axle stands

    Do you leave the handbrake on? Car shouldn't shift while lifting, jack should roll towards the car to compensate for any movement

    Soft-Touch Plastic - Replacement?

    Elbow Grease Spray / Cream Cleaner + Microfibre and warm water got mine off. Wasn't the easiest or quickest thing to do but I really wanted to keep the metallic finish (that the pov spec interiors don't have)

    Noisy power steering.

    Mine did this, full flush with Motul Dexron III has quiet it down. I have also had a leak through a cracked switch which wouldn't of helped. I also have a spare pump to try if the noise comes back 🙈

    "Road Legal" track car MOT

    My MOT centre shrugged and said "bring it in and we will find out...." Thanks pal I think it needs to be caged with harnesses minimum as they replace the airbag, bonus points if it's stripped as nobody sane does that to a road car

    (Mk2) jacking up from front/rear end?

    Box sections under the car about a foot in from the front sills behind the subframe plates, I use a piece of wood on the jack. I have seen people jack up using the subframe directly but some have experienced bending. Lifting the back can be done from the rear beam as @Matt Cup suggests

    Help! Advice on engine mount bolt needed!

    15 seconds of ugga-duggas should sort it out

    RS2 inlet Filter.

    I have a metal elbow, not an RS2 inlet, but use the 120mm PRORAM cylindrical filter It's thin enough to get in and out without removing the battery (just)

    Help on 182 spare wheel

    As long as its 4x100 60.1mm bore with the same rolling radius it will be fine (probably 195/55/15, loads of online calculators online to check). Probably best looking for a 15" alloy or steel wheel from a non-RS, or get like-for-like as @Advikaz suggests.

    Best thing to do, ECU is mounted on the back of the rocker that will need changing, and the TB wiring is integrated into the thick rocker loom Spiteful piece of french engineering

    https://www.renaultbreakers.co.uk/store/Renault-Clio-MK2-2001-2006-12-16v-Complete-Induction-Kit-D4F-712/00030869/ K&N or custom made plate adapter for a 712 is the easiest route.
