    remap with v-power in the tank

    OP seems to be after live mapping, rather than the next garage who buys the equipment and offers an off-the-shelf 197 BHP remap? http://www.viezu.com/Cars/Renault/Clio/1998-2005-Phase-2-Clio/CLIO-182/View-details

    remap with v-power in the tank

    If it's "live mapped" it will be mapped to suit the engine exactly as it is running on that particular day. I.e. if there's 99 RON in the tank then it will be mapped to suit 99 RON.

    Headlight washers

    They're £12 new from Renault IIRC. If you really must block them off, passenger side arch liner off, pull two pipes (leading to washers) off of T-junction (coming from washer bottle) and "screw" an M6 (IIRC) bolt in the end of the pipe.

    3k rattle thread (with very specific symptoms)

    Had already tried ECU & alternator bracket. Airbox mounts checked when checking gearbox mount. Olive joint is securely and doesn't blow, but didn't pay particular attention to it's angle - have you had this cause load-only rattles in the past? Fuel rail guard is absolutely solid. Thanks for...

    Timing belt change please help

    I think everyone on here would be extremely interested to hear who these Renault Speciliasts are? In truth you can't ever predict a mileage, age or useage scenario that a "belt" will go. What you can consider is that they are rubber so they deteriorate with age (regardless of mileage)...

    3k rattle thread (with very specific symptoms)

    Hi all, Would really appreciate any suggestions, been chasing this rattle for a while. Built up quite a specific list of exactly when it happens. Searched a lot and a checked all the very common bits. Symptoms * ONLY when you're on the throttle (not at a constant RPM or when backing off the...

    Pearl black v black/gold

    I parked my BG 182 next to a Pearl Black 1.2 once. It made Black Gold look stunning. I know it's not what you want to hear, but IMO you'll notice it every time you look at the car when it's freshly cleaned, or in bright sunlight etc & always know it's there.

    Traction control and esp

    Your car (a 172 cup) doesn't have ABS or ESP. Stop looking for a switch lol!

    Wheel alignment - string method

    Two tips: 1) Cut a single notch in either end of your "long rod." The distance between the notches needs to be sufficient so that the widest point of the car (at the height of your stub axle) doesn't interfere with the string, but ideally leaves 20mm or so between the wheel and string. The...

    Arch liner fixings

    If you can't get to Renault or find a trader on here who'll post you one, I bought some from ebay: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/370695444971?var=640047115281&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649 "TCP13" 1 @ 99p 5 @ 50p free postage

    Insurance Renewal time... the quotes so far

    EDIT: LOL NVM. TIME/DATE FAIL. Still, some points might be useful. In your OP you didn't mention: * Named drivers (I'm assuming you do have them on your policy) * Pay in a lump sum (doesn't suit everyone, but it's a financial no-brainer) * Being very specific with your job * Increasing...

    Too expensive/far too long? (advice from mechanics needed)

    I think this has made the difference between "a good price" and "a good price and an honest mechanic wanting to keep you as a customer." Glad you're loving the "refreshed" car!

    Servicing your cars - Genuine or aftermarket?

    Surely there's a balance to be struck, that hasn't really been represented here... Items fall into roughly 3 categories, no? 1) OEM is so cheap it's pointless using anything else (oil filters, cabin filters, Renault Type D coolant) 2) OEM/upgrade is strongly recommended/required due to the...

    Spring Rates - Standard vs. Aftermarket

    We have a winner. Installation ratio of the rear beam of a Clio is about twice that of the front of a Clio so the springs would have to be twice as stiff to give the same wheel rate. That explains why it looks unusually high (you'd expect a FWD car to have stiffer springs at the front to...

    How much would you pay for a used 182 exhaust?

    Yeah but that'll include a cat & if the OEM 182 exhaust is anything to go by, we know how silly Renault exhaust prices are...
