Well I hope you get just as much enjoyment as I've had over the past 14 and a bit years :smile: . I had a new 172 for 4 years before the 182 . I was waiting for the 197 to be launched but when I saw it I didn't like it , so opted for the 182 instead . There was literally only about 10...
That's the centre hanger.

In the grand scheme of things running costs haven't been too bad. Its been serviced regularly , 2 major services included with both belts , dephaser , water pump etc ...... the First major service was a right fiasco ,done at a Renault dealership who took 5 days because of a catalogue of fcuk ups...
That's ok . I don't mind the chavvy comment about the number plate . I can't actually remove the tax disc holder , it's well and truly welded to the windscreen so I gave up trying to remove it lol .
I've kept it the best I can . It has the usual age related marks , a few unavoidable minor car park dents that I need to get sorted . No plans to get rid anytime soon . As you can see , it's done bugger all miles really for a 10 year old car.
She's now 10 years old and 63,500 on the clock . Had her from new . I've enjoyed every moment driving her and still puts a smile on my face most days, when I want her to . Touch wood , no major issues over the years , normal servicing costs etc ....... but that's about it .
I have one here , post cat sensor, the original one taken out of the cat . I just measured it , and It's 480mm . I always thought the pre- cat sensor was the shorter one . Although they are both the same sensor, just that one is longer than the other.
Foot on the pedal will do sod all :wink: Lots of people have had this problem over the years , looks like it can be various things that causes the problem .
Without getting it to a garage who actually know something about Clios , you could trawl through alot of older posts and maybe you'll find...
Might be a bit cheaper at Diamond motors . It's £650 for everything , including oil and filter , excluding spark plugs . It's only about 30 mins or so further for you . Plus Mick usually gives it a free diagnostic check and checks over your car for anything else . It's where I've taken mine the...
I get this every winter , when the temp drops to about 4 degrees or less and has been stood for a few hours . I put a brand new battery on a couple of weeks ago and it still does it. Other than that , the car runs fine .
Welcome to CS . As said above the blowing exhaust will be either the oilve joint , where it connects to centre section or the manifold to Cat fitting kit will need replacing, or both . Both are rubbish and are common failures on the exhaust . I wouldn't worry about the different shade on the...
You might see a couple of bhp with it remapped . You'll have more noise for sure . You have 2 options , keep replacing the clamp/ seal it everytime it statrs blowing , or get it sleeved like @Addicted said . If you do a search for sleeved cat you'll find out what it entails .
First of all . The Decat will add Zero difference to performance . Secondly , the Decat will have the same oilve joint as your Cat and will most likely leak again in time , causing it to blow or whistle again . So you'll be back to square one .
Very nice . I love 306's . I wish they still made them , I'd have one in a heartbeat if they did . I used to have an S16 many moons ago and I absolutely loved it . Like bill said . It will surprise a few people I would imagine , It looks so understated .
Or you could just buy some stainless flanged bolts for £3.44 delivered .
