    Air bag lights and wiring

    It's definitely a 182 Cup and not a cup packed car, so would have had cloth seats. One of the connectors already has a resistor installed and is taped up, but looking at a guide earlier it looked like two connectors needed resistors and i'm missing the second connector. Can i just use a scotch...

    I'll be pulling some standard springs of mine in the next couple of week. let me know if you'd be interested in them

    Air bag lights and wiring

    Picked up my 182 on tuesday and was told by the previous own that the airbag light was on due to the aftermarket steering wheel and he'd never gotten around to getting it sorted. Car also has Evo 7 Recaro seats and is a geniune 182 Cup, so i believe no seat airbags as standard, but does have...

    Anyone using a non resonated milltek?

    Would there be much difference in power and torque delivery between a 2.25 system and a 2.5 system. If so what would you expect? Heard the 2.25 system with decat on a few cars over video and it seems to have a raspy sound which I like, as apose to boomy. The ktec price is more than the...

    Anyone using a non resonated milltek?

    I'm not looking for a quiet system, just not something that's overly loud. Will also be doing track days in the car, so need to be mindful of that. Though I suspect pretty much any off the shelf system would be fine at most tracks with the cat in place

    Anyone using a non resonated milltek?

    Was just looking at the milltek at the minute, as I've found a good deal on it. I'd heard it's loud with a decat, but I'd be using the standard cat, as I can't be bothered with the messing around come mot time. Have you tried using it with the cat on. Wondering if it makes much difference.

    Anyone using a non resonated milltek?

    Looking to pick up a cat back system for the 182. I understand the milltek is one of the quieter systems, but would a non resonated system be too loud or drone for a daily commuter? I live on a fairly quiet estate, and my 20 mile commute is probably 70% 40 and 50mph roads, mostly lined with...

    Sold my CUP 172...Now what to replace it with?

    Sold my TT 225, was pretty high spec and running around 285bhp. Was a money pity and I wouldn't have one over a Clio 172/182. The 180 must have been painful. All the mk5 golf I looked at a few years ago were rust buckets. I wanted a diesel at the time and ended up buying a Jetta. Another costly...

    Dent/Crease repair

    He mentioned a couple of tiny dents that i probably wouldn't have noticed otherwise. The dent I found he said he didn't know anything about, and to be fair to him it looked fresh as there was a slightly black plastic like mark along the crease line. With the weather how it was yesterday, it...

    Already on it trying to arrange something..... I've not even bought the car yet. haha

    Dent/Crease repair

    This is the reason for the post to be honest. If it's an easy fix I don't mind getting it sorted myself, with the cost taken off the car. The seller is taking the car to a garage tomorrow to get a quote, as he's knows someone that works there. The other option is he gets it fixed and I buy the...

    Dent/Crease repair

    I've only been looking for a couple of days really. Sold my Z4 over the weekend, and was meant to be going down to one car. But really fancy a Clio again. Thought about getting another diesel myself....then saw sense.

    Dent/Crease repair

    No unfortunately, I didn't think to grab a picture when I viewed the car. It's not bad to be honest, but the rest of the car is in so good condition that it stands out more.

    group N cam timing

    So is anyone offering the Grp N setup with belts and dephaser, etc? I'm potentially buying a 182 cup tomorrow, and it needs belts changing at the end of the month, so if this is available i'd definitely be interested

    Dent/Crease repair

    Went to view a 182 today, and noticed a crease in the rear quarter panel. It's not deep but is about 12 inches long or so, and goes from just off the rear wheel arch to the under side of the bump strip at about 30 degree angle. I understand this shouldn't be an issue for a paintless dent repair...

    Low milage insurance cover?

    My Z4 3.0i insurance finishes tomorrow with sky, renewal was £560. Aviva quoted me £205, plus with topcashback of £50 at the minute. Brings it down to £155 fully comp, that's 10k miles, with business cover and my wife who only has 2 years experience as second driver Not sure what they'd do with...

    Anyone know this 182 Turbo?

    I saw that the other day, i thought the exact same thing when i saw it had T1R tyres all round. People still mention them as a plus point. The worrying thing is they're new, so he's chosen to fit them to the car. For £5.5k, i'd be looking at this one on the forum if it's still available...

    Clio 172/182 turbo??

    I thought the main issue with turboing a 172/182 was that the chocolate gearbox couldn't handle the torque. They're known for being leak in standard trim, so adding 50% more torque can only mean the gearbox becomes a consumable part. If turboing is the route you want to take, maybe look into 197...

    Why? Why do dealers do this???

    I wouldn't even entertain buying one of these off a dealer to be honest. Buy off a forum member, or if you can find a cheap one locally then privately.

    Just purchased a Clio rs200

    Fancy another Clio again

    I've considered a R26 a few times too actually. I guess mapped they'd be quicker than a clio, and the lsd probably helps them handle as well/better. In fact i was looking at Megane 250 for sale last week, thinking to myself i actually fancy one of these next. Turned DTC off on the Z4 last...

    Fancy another Clio again

    No that's not my old car. Though i did see it up for sale again on the facebook group (Audi TT) recently. The car's got QS wheels and LCR front splitter now.

    Fancy another Clio again

    I don't doubt there was a long queue of people lined up to purchase it.... the only plus in missing out is that in reality I'd have probably thrown £2k plus at it on servicing, wheels, tyres, suspension, mapping, seats, etc.

    Fancy another Clio again

    I think part of the issue is that i don't really want to be spending thousands improving the car. I don't dislike it as it is, I just don't love it like i did my little 182's (especially the first one). I probably need to replace the rear tyres as i'm not happy with the grip the F1 AS2 are...

    Fancy another Clio again

    I probably still check the classified section every day on here. I even asked my wife for permission to buy the 182 that was up over Christmas for £600 (in Nottingham too). But with it being Christmas and my wife's maternity pay stopping at the end of December, the timing wasn't good, and she...

    Fancy another Clio again

    It wasn't long ago, i bought the Z4 before i put the clio up for sale, it didn't get much interested, so stripped some mods off and sold it closer to standard for a cheaper price. Think it sold beginning of November, but i didn't really drive it as it wasn't properly insured (insured for single...

    Fancy another Clio again

    I've owned a Clio 182 3 times now. Seems like every time i buy a replacement car after selling one, i'm looking to get back into another Clio shortly after. In between the Clio's i've had; a Diesel Jetta with Hybrid turbo and custom mapping (made around 220bhp) for about 18 months, a 290bhp mk1...

    Hope so, I've just ordered a set for my wife's Ford C-Max.

    Sensible Car. e92 330d.

    Do these have much room in the rear? I've always loved the look of the coupe and considered buying a 330d a few times this year. Thinking i'll probably replace my Z4 with one, when i need to start dropping the kids off at school.
