Anyone here know this BG 182? Cliosport.net sticker in the rear windscreen. Just bought it cheap, needs a few things but not bad at all really.

Straight back to the garage that's done the work and hope for a goodwill gesture!! You can swap engines pretty cheaply with these. When mine went I bought a bare engine with no history for £100, fluids cost £100 and I bought a new clutch for around £100, swapped it over on a weekend, although I...

Exactly this, as advised keep an eye on fluid levels and keep driving it. Would've thought it's no problem really.

Probably the fact they have a cold and a warm map. cold map tends to be jerky, clunky, throttle doesn't feel great and rev limit decreased. Once it gets to a preset temperature the warm map kicks in and makes it feel a million times better, or 'right'. If it's occurring at the same place on...

Have you considered dropping a 182 engine in, with a set of lumpy cams? You would need to research on here but some fellas are hitting nearly 200bhp with cams and a few supplementary mods (exhaust, intake) and that may work out cheaper? Oil cooler isn't needed I'd have thought....

Haha they're an utter c**t to get off, sack it off and grab the Dremel my friend. if you are sensible with what you cut the whole thing can go back together and not look like a mess. I would tell you where to cut but I forgot - last one I did was ages ago.

That isn't the coolant temp sensor lol why on earth would it be on the inlet manifold?! to the op: I'd be investigating the lambda fault

I've had similar sort of problems with one of my older clios. Cleaned up all the earths and battery terminals and that sorted it. Worth a go as it's free.

Have you measured the current draw with everything switched off? you should see some consumption if your battery is draining that quick. I'd pull fuses out one by one whilst watching the reading until it drops... Then investigate the circuit that fuse is related to... Something will be shorting...

Almost definately need a new clutch and with it grinding into gears you may as well get the box inspected for damage whilst it's off.

Yes

I'm pretty sure he's referring to the oil breather plate elbow - it's round the back of the engine, as he says basically under the coil pack.. As stated a pipe should run from that elbow to the intake piping elbow.

http://www.detailingworld.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=267096 Follow that link, I think the 8th pic down shows his induction kit, on the elbow piping coming off the throttle body you can see the little elbow pipe that it should be connected to

Rubber hose connects that to the elbow pipe on your actual intake piping, if that makes sense

Fiddled gear linkages so I've got all gears after my recent engine swap. Took it for its first drive since the swap, realised as I barrelled into a roundabout that I hadn't tightened up the power steering pump/pipe nut enough and proceeded to lose it all onto my brakes and tyres. Fook that was...
