I've been looking for a decent cheap impact wrench for working on my car, after having issues removing the pinch bolt on a ball joint this weekend. Then thinking of all the times one would really have come in handy. I do pretty much all my own work on all my cars, except for timing belts. I...

Personal don't think the 182 looks that good in LY. Though I don't think I've ever seen one in person. So maybe I can't really comment. I do like the colour on other models though. For the money they go for, I'd rather have a trophy. Saying that I wanted a silver 182 late time around and ended...

I run mine as a daily now too. My commute is a lot of 40 and 50 mph average speed zones, and it's pretty quiet at that speed. It gets worse with speed after about 50-55mph and it's a pain on the motorway. I did notice that it got quieter after about around 1-2k miles too. As mentioned above...

You just need to buy the correct adaptor to link the aftermarket radio to the stalk controller: http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/ctsrn003-stalk-adapter-for-renault-clio-kangoo-megane-twin I believe this is correct, bookmarked it a few years ago, and never purchased. So probably worth...

Whats peoples thought on the OnePlus 7T, non pro? I'm wanting to replace my Note 8, it's coming up to 2 years old now, and the battery isn't as solid as it was, plus the Camera seems to be getting worse. The camera being the reason i bought it to replace my old OnePlus 3 at the time. Annoying...

Surely if they're going to stop making a petrol RS Clio then the values of the older cars will only go up as there numbers start to fall. Either way it makes no difference to me keeping or selling my 182. I would like an electric car at some point though. The Zoe would probably be too small...

Got these on mine. Though I didn't have any issues with the angle that i recall. Where abouts is the painter you've used. I'm going to have to get a few bits sorted on mine next year i think. You're looks awesome in the pictures

I did try upping the pressure quite a few times, before giving up on them. I've had NS-2R in the past, and they're not good in the wet. Similar to driving T1R's i'd say. The AD08R is basically a road tyre, that can be used on track. Provided there isn't loads of standing water, they handle the...

I think it was just due to the softer construction, the stability wasn't great with the PS3's. Felt like the rim was rolling over the tyre, much like when running Rainsport 3's. I just had no confidence in them when throwing the car into a fast corner. The grip wasn't bad, but in anything other...

The clutches in these cars is heavy regardless. I've had 5 182's over the years with various milage, and even had new clutches and cables fitted. Made no difference in my experience

Heavy clutch is pretty standard. I think I'd be more worried if the clutch wasn't heavy to be honest.

I tried a set of Pilot sport 3 last winter, and I wasn't impressed at all. I was much happier when I ditched them for another set of AD08R's. Just as good in the wet for me as PS3's, but much better feel and confidence with them. I'll be using AD08R's on my 182 through this winter as it's my...

@massivewangers I bought some BG paint from AutoPaint St. Helens a while ago to attempt to spray a front bumper, but ended up buying a replacement due to the weather being too cold to spray at the time, so can't comment on the quality of the paint or paint matching. But i did find quite a lot...

Thank you mate. I've seen the part before, but couldn't find the number anywhere.

Does anyone know the part number for the spring below numbered 23? Noticed this was missing a while ago, but not got around to replacing it. and after fitting a pms shifter, i've still got more movement than i'd expect, so hoping this might be part of the issue.

Selling my wife's old car, as we've replaced it with a mk6 Golf https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/202731327563 Ad is a little shitty as it was rushed late last night to get something up before the weekend. Will probably update it at some point this weekend. Open to reasonable offers to shift it.

I think it was one of your video clips that sold this exhaust for me to be honest. I prefer the raspy sound over the boomy sound a lot of the 2.5" systems seem to give. I bought this second hand from the classified on here for about £150 from memory. The decat i bought from ktec though, as the...

No worries mate. I don't think you need the loctite. But i bought some to be on the safe side to apply to the outside of the thread insert. Think it was rated at 200 degree C from memory. Just had a thought though, you might want to double check the thread size for the Clio plugs. I think M14...

Just looked on eBay, and i think this is the kit i bought. It was at least identical in what was provided anyway: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/25pcs-Car-Truck-Steel-Screw-Thread-Inserts-Tap-Repair-Kit-M14-x-1-25-Spark-Plug/192846901687?epid=18030059524&hash=item2ce69231b7:g:xA0AAOSwzcNb4W6E

I've had this happen once before on a 182, didn't cause any damage to the engine at all. But as you say it ran on 3 cylinders and sounded like a tractor. I assumed it was a lead popping off as i'd also had this once before on the same car. In the end i bought a helicoil type repair kit for a...

Yeah, I'd read sticking the lambda behind the heat shield worked, so did this a while ago, and just bought a plug for the decat. But it lasted about 2 days before the light came on again, i've cleared it a couple of times, but keeps coming back on. Not got around to grabbing a spacer yet, but...

So I recorded the exhaust noise to send to my brother last week. Then one morning on the way to work i decided to record the acceleration to get a better idea of 0-60 times. I figured this would be around the 6.0-6.5 second mark with a good launch. Exhaust is the Ktec Janspeed 2.25 system...

Subscribed to the YT channel. The cup looks great, might start looking to do some of this with my RB once i pick up another car. I'm now on eBay looking at NC30's though, after looking at your videos...... Always wanted one of these to upgrade from my Aprilia RS125 when i was younger.

I've been considering getting one for a few years now. But have always ended up selling my Clio and moving on. I'm on clio No. 5 now as i keep seeing sense and coming back. So currently running a modified scenic shifter and the linkage is really bad, so think this is going to be my next big...

Honestly i can't remember now. I just remember adding it all up after about 3 months and it being around the £2.5k mark and it was still throwing up Engine management lights. I'm pretty sure there was a boost leak somewhere which they're renown for, but even after doing a leak test, i couldn't...

My commute to work is probably 50% 40 & 50mph speed roads with average speed camera's and 40% roads were overtaking isn't really possible safely. There are a few miles of roads to have fun on, but it's easy to average close to 40mpg, if you avoid having a little fun on those bits. I'm currently...

I really wished i'd gone for the v6 instead of the 225 Turbo when i bought mine a couple years ago. I had nothing but trouble with the bloody thing, owned it 3 months and spent over £2.5k servicing it and keeping it on the road. In the end it was the 24mpg average that pushed me over (bearing in...

Thanks.... I always end up travelling for miles whenever i buy a car for some reason, so try to answer all the questions i'd want to ask, either before seeing the car or whilst there if I went to view it. The only issue the guy that viewed the car found was that there was oil around the...

Hopefully it'll be the last car i need to sell for a while. Ended up selling my wife's C-Max to Evans Halshaw a few days after christmas as well, because i just couldn't be arsed to try and sell it privately, and they offered what i thought was fair money for it.

Mine was up for sale at the beginning of December for £2500, I'd had so much interest via here, and Facebook, but everyone was either miles away or not fully committed to actually buying a car it seemed in the lead up to Christmas. It went on eBay a few days after Christmas. Counted up the...
