"Shame about the water in the spark plugs being wet and everything"
That is the funniest sentence and you dont even know it :D
Yeah thats what i was sort of getting before :) unfortunately I havent done any motorway miles in it so unsure of its potential.
I've decided I like the word reliability now so i'm putting the car on supplements and drugs now ;)
Here are some little bits I bought for him :)
• 1x Wynn's Dual Action Engine Stop Leak
• 1x Wynn's Formula Gold Engine Treatment
• 1x Wynn's Injector Cleaner

Ok so as above I have ran into some minor problem's with the 182 :(
I was starting to experience jolty ride's which got worse in time with no reasonable explanation, only after the engine had warmed up did i start to experience these misfiring symptoms.
(Although it was nice of Renault to fit a...
Re: ArcticClio182...progress..
Good :)
Ahah thanks mate, yours equally looks just as good!
Yeah same here mate, mine are almost all rust, I really should get them changed :D
As for the engine bay, the components seem to get a dusty spotty finish on them dont they :rasp:
Thanks Caz :) Yeah lets hope :P
Ahah take that bloody splitter off and get it up my drive that way :)
Looking forward to seeing your updates, Don't post it in midlands mind ;)
Hi Braderz,
Thanks :) umm the expansion tank was actually off of eBay, now the listing doesn't state whether it is genuine or not therefore I got the seller to verify if it was!
He did get back to me and informed me the tank is genuine1 however the cap isn't. I just used my previous cap so I...
Thanks Austin :) Really appreciate comments like this, gives me more motivation to keep going :) (Although I have no intention of stopping ;))
Indeed, I just wish it would return the favour :rasp:
Thanks mate :) I do try, personally the blog isn't as good as I would like it to be, however nobody so far seems fussed by the spelling mistakes and what not :rasp:
I end up typing and pasting so much I make more mistakes when I proofread it :S
You would imagine so wouldn't you, however I...
Yeah it's coming together slowly, aiming to crack open the touch up paint for next weekend ;) Hopefully get those chips painted :)
I suspect you've bought some now haven't you? :D
So last week I finally got time to pop round to the body shop to get a quotation on re-spraying my front bumper and bonnet.
The front bumper and bonnet I know have previously been re-sprayed at some point while the car was in the ownership by one of the previous keepers. Who ever they took it to...
I would imagine you would find the car a hard push if you were relying on 'ABS' ;)
Did you mean power steering :D
Yet again, I would be another to suggest cambelt
I forgot to show one of the little changes I made under the bonnet when I had my service :D
My new coolant expansion tank (At a different angle, I can only apologise!)
It's one step closer to that engine bay being factory fresh, still a long way to go though :(
Before:
After:
Looks a very clean car with some nice additions, however the person who has resprayed from the wings onwards needs to be shot!
Has it ever been a cat write off?
It did but cant remember as I quickly used someone else's diagnostics tool :D
I'm going to have another go at the weekend with a little help :)
Thanks guys
This Saturday been I have just started experiencing misfiring while driving, during this the engine light flashes on and off constantly.
Originally taking into consideration the symptoms I was thinking it was the Lambda/02 sensor.
Managed to borrow my mates Diagnostic tool and cleared the 8...
Yeah my apologies for the corporate bulls**t Dan :dapprove:
I wasn't 100% sure on the rs tuner fact, I did say I wasn't sure though.
Saying that though have you the RS Tuner map on your Clio Dan? 45mpg is very good, I really try and I can't get any more than 36mpg :(
Sorry to the yammy chap...
No :D What i'm saying is when you use premium fuel that's the bhp result you should be receiving, like they show on the 'sales marketing brochures'.
However most people don't use it and are not achieving the maximum potential of the engine if you will :)
Premium fuel can treat an engine and...
