    Clio 182 Front Wiper Linkage

    £10.55 for postage for a couple of clips 😮. I think they're having a laugh.

    Clio 182 Front Wiper Linkage

    When mine was knackered and worn I had to get a 2nd hand replacement. The ball just kept popping out.

    Glaceol RX Type E LDR Blue coolant sent by mistake or genuinely the right stuff?

    Just has an email reply from Arnold Clarke this morning. They're going to give me a full refund including return postage.

    Glaceol RX Type E LDR Blue coolant sent by mistake or genuinely the right stuff?

    According to which website. If the item is not as described you shouldn't be charged a return fee. There's a free template letter on the website too.

    Glaceol RX Type E LDR Blue coolant sent by mistake or genuinely the right stuff?

    To be honest, I don't know. I could understand if It was something I was sending back that I'd ordered and was correct, I'd just changed my mind. But they're clearly advertising type D and sending type E. So that's got to be wrong in itself. Like I said. I have emailed them but I'll be...

    Glaceol RX Type E LDR Blue coolant sent by mistake or genuinely the right stuff?

    The thing is with this new coolant. The shelf life is only 3 years. That's if it's left unopened. Once it's in the engine and going through lots of heating and cooling cycles, surely it degrades and the life of the coolant is a lot less? 😮 Not everybody changes their coolant every 2 or 3 years...

    Glaceol RX Type E LDR Blue coolant sent by mistake or genuinely the right stuff?

    I've had exactly the same. I ordered type D and they sent me type E. The delivery charge was £3.99 but to send it back they're charging £4.60 😡 Robbing b******s.

    Glaceol RX Type E LDR Blue coolant sent by mistake or genuinely the right stuff?

    You don't trust the new type E? From what I've read it's the same spec as the type D and can be mixed with type D. Both go down to - 21 It makes you wonder why they're discontinuing the type D and replacing it with type E though?

    Where to buy numberplates online?

    Fancyplates has no BSAU number on, completely plain plates. No documents required and never had a problem come MOT time.

    Where to buy numberplates online?

    I used fancyplates. Legal, plain plates. They were £29.00 delivered.

    Recommendations for dry fast road tyres?

    You're probably right. There are better. And they are a slightly older tyre now. But for the price and how they perform on the road I think they're a bargain.

    Recommendations for dry fast road tyres?

    I've been running Avons for a few years now and can't fault them when pushing on in the dry or wet.

    Recommendations for dry fast road tyres?

    The Michelin Exalto PE2s were a brilliant tyre imo. I'd still run them now if they were still available in the right size for my 182. After they were discontinued I ran Rainsport 2s for a while then Rainsport 3s, which were both brilliant in the wet but didn't last long. I'd average about 5k...

    Handbrake Cable

    These fit. I've got them on my 182. https://www.partsinmotion.co.uk/car-parts/braking/handbrake-cables/borgbeckhandbrakecablebkb3048-detail https://www.partsinmotion.co.uk/car-parts/braking/handbrake-cables/first-line-hand-brake-cable-fkb3049-detail

    Clio 172 noise from engine

    On a 1*2. Aux belt and pulleys is every 5 years or 36k miles. People automatically assume it's every 3 years with it being 36k and the timing belt being every 5 years and 72k.

    New Headlights

    AFAIK, they're still available direct from Renault. Or they were last year. My 182 was in the bodyshop last year for a front end repair and he sourced a brand new offside xenon headlight from Renault in France.

    BRR Exhaust Brackets

    I have 2 for my 182 but haven't fitted them yet. I gave them an extra coat of rustoleum, probably a bit of overkill but I know they'll never rust again when I eventually do for them. They're very good quality.

    Spark plugs

    I've never heard of anybody running Bosch fuel injectors. And definitely not a revised part, whatever that might mean? As @hopgop1 said. You want genuine Magneti marelli.

    Where's the go to place for 172/182 injectors these days?

    They're £181 including delivery from Autodoc. https://m.autodoc.co.uk/magneti-marelli/1858040

    They've definitely shot up price recently.

    Arrived this morning from Amazon 😊

    Where's the go to place for 172/182 injectors these days?

    The last ones I got were from Renparts, £35 each. Now they're £53.50. Still cheaper than a lot of other places selling them for 70 or 80 quid 😮

    Where's the go to place for 172/182 injectors these days?

    I've just ordered 4 genuine Magneti marelli from Amazon. They did have 4 left when I ordered them but they've only 2 left now. 40 quid each. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B0068M8966?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image

    Best Clio specialist garage in Manchester?

    Another vote for @Birchdown from me. It's a 180 mile round trip for me, but well worth it. Andy and Steve are top blokes, they won't BS you or pull your pants down.

    Occasional and often misfire

    Definitely that. If its running on the cold map it'll be over fueling.

    ***How much is it worth?***

    I'd say round about £4 - 4.5k but at that price it might be a longer wait. £3.5k for a quicker sale.

    STEERING WHEEL ANGLE SENSOR FOR 182 CUP

    First time I've heard that you can do this. From what I've learnt. You need Clip software or something similar to recalibrate when fitting a new ( 2nd hand) sensor. I thought once the SaS was knackered ,that's it.I'm watching with interest. To the OP @Richg78 . They're hard to come by 2nd hand...
