Yeah the spacer is fitted. They've been on for 7/8 months so I guess cheap bearings could just go in this time? Does the wiggle in the bearing look like its fucked? Just don't want to throw parts at the problem unless im sure.

The discs themselves are a bit noisey under very light braking but they're fine under normal/heavy load. Any input on that bearing wiggle?

So I took everything off today, rings pads and discs all look okay. No noises when spinning wheel and no play. Sensor was pretty dirty so I gave that a clean. I took the discs off and noticed the bearing has some axial play in it, no noticable movement laterally. Is this normal?

I've had my cat sleeved onto the standard exhaust with the silencer chopped out. The just chopped the cat at the conical part back to the correct diameter (2.25" for standard - 2.5" for you) and welded a piece of stainless pipe onto the cat. I got it done at zaustworks in Darwen, not to far...

I'll price everything up, may be worth just getting discs depending on price to save faffing. I'll get you a video. Definitely rotational, loudest between 30 and 40 mph, happens with clutch in or out, coming from the rear left.

Yeah I'll do all of that tomorrow, I'll take the pads out so I can have a proper listen. I'm assuming replacing the bearings is just a case of sourcing one and taking the discs to a garage and asking them nicely to press the new one in? I've had knackered bearings on other cars and it's not as...

I bought them from gumtree (new and unused) with the pads. These look like the ones - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CLIO-SPORT-172-GROOVED-REAR-BRAKE-DISCS-BEARING/220452036315?hash=item3353f71edb:g:V3IAAOxyOM5RbL9o I don't know about the origin of the bearings as they came already pressed in...

Thanks for the reply, I'l go ahead and order a switch. Yeah I fitted the spacers back on. Any idea for the grinding? Cheers

Hi Guys, I have read a few threads on here already but no one else seems to have the exact same problem. I have intermitted Abs/serv/Traction lights coming on. There doesn't seem to be any reasoning for why or when it comes on and it doesn't come on all the time, and always goes away if I turn...

I will but hastings want £300 for the modification but a stainless repair job is free - go figure

Hi Guys, My 182 has a rattling baffle in the centre section. I'd like to get this chopped out or replaced, local exhaust place has quoted me £100 for cutting it out which seems a bit steep, and £60 for removing the olive joint on the cat and sleeving it. (Long Life stockport). Could I fit an...

Sorry for the shaky video, my phone is trying to stabilise everything. The play in the caliper is lateral, as in along the direction of the pins. Almost like the piston isn't tight to the pad. Possibly the pins? Top of the dampers were dirty but not greasy, I cant check as they are currently...

Hi Guys, Recently fitted some Eibach Sportlines to my 182. Car rode really well before fitting them but seems quite bouncy now. I didn't think anything of it at the time but while off the car, the front shock absorbers would just compress under their own weight. There was still resistance on...

UPDATE: Looks like I ripped out the horn wiring when removing the old steering wheel. I bought a new squib from ebay, renault part no: 8200058677 and fitted it with the guide in the guides section. Not too bad of a job, just make sure you dont mess with the steering position sensor when its...

Hi Guys, Recently replaced my steering wheel with a snappy one. Since fitting it my horn has been beeping pretty much everytime I turn the wheel, I've had to take the fuse out!! Im guessing its a wiring problem, if I pop the airbag off and look at the wires it looks like this, any ideas how to...

Have noticed today the car is idling a bit higher than normal at just under 1k rpm, could this indicate an air leak?

Thanks for your reply Cambelt was changed 3 months ago by a specialist, there is a whine from the PAS pump but this is a seperate noise

Replaced inlet and breather gasket, no change in the sound. Ran car with a cone filter on and the sound is still there, anybody have any more ideas? Really frustrating!

So I've taken the inlet off again to check its all sealed, refitted it and started her up... It sounds as if its coming from directly underneath the coil pack? Am I right in saying thats the breather gasket? Cheers

Hi Guys, I recently changed my engine mounts all round and ever since then my car has developed a strange whistle/ whine sound at certain speeds/ throttle positions. Best I can describe it as is like a small owl is trapped under the bonnet and is howling to get out. Its coming from the passenger...

Sorry guys here is the picture. I've already picked off the leather from the garbage wheel so I cant swap it over unfortunately. And Im sending it off to snappy.

Thanks a lot, so no need to remove the 'spider' and bracket? ie these bits: I can just remove the mount via the three bolts with these bits in still on the car?

Does anyone have a guide for changing the upper gearbox mount? Can't find much information on here. Thanks!

Hi Guys, I've purchased a garbage steering wheel to send off for retrimming. It doesnt have any cruise control buttons on it, im just wondering if I can mount my buttons onto it after a retrim or if I've got a non cruise control wheel?

Thanks for that. Big thanks to @Hoofy for the box and the advise

Hi Guys, Have recently purchased a jc5 129 as a spare for my clio 182. From reading the forum I understand that boxes are the same but I will just have to blank the speedo drive sensor? Just checking all mountings and internals etc are the same and it will fit! Thanks

Hi Guys, so here is a comparison of the two pumps. The 182 pump has the white sticker part no 7700840107 and the cup pump has a yellow sticker 7700840105. As far as I can see the parts are identical, even measured them and the appear to be the same in all dimensions. So im not sure whats going...

Gary said the pump was incorrect and the pump was sold as a 182 cup pump. It could be the seller fucked up and sent the wrong pump I have both pumps in my boot, will take pictures after work.

Didnt want to drop names until it was sorted, now that its a happyish ending I slid his name in as he's been very fair with me

Hi Guys, Renparts have sent me out a replacement pump free of charge, hopefully this one is alright
