I've been running the XL 87 RS3's for a month now . I had the ones with the lesser load rating before 83's . I don't know if it's in my head , but they do feel stiffer . But I do think part of the reason that some people report they feel a bit wobbly is because the deep tread block and soft...

@Leonardo I'm running my 2nd set of Uniroyal Rainsport 3's 205 x 45 x 16's . I really rate these tyres , especially in the wet , as the name suggests . Just short of £128 delivered from tyreleader. https://www.tyreleader.co.uk/cart/?t=tyre&i=187775&m=0&q=2

For 195 x 45 x 16's I assume you're quoting ? Not 205 x 45 x 16's that the 182 has fitted as standard , which are £343 delivered

Yeah , but sound only . Imo , It's not worth all the hassle of decatting and refitting the cat come MOT , just for a little extra noise.

Tbh I wouldn't waste my time and effort mate . The decat makes bugger all difference to performance , the only thing it will probably do is make your exhaust slightly louder . Then you'll have to faff about come MOT time to refit your cat . It's more trouble than it's worth.

Nice write up . Love the Acid yellow V6 , but it is a bit in your face . I much prefer the Illiad Blue , much more subtle, if i V6 could ever be subtle lol .

Come on guys . Lets not veer away from the Op's original question . It happens all too often on CS and " can " spoil what is generally a good forum with lots of useful information " and " opinions .

I wasn't having a go at you . Just saying you shouldn't need your foglights to assist you if your bulbs are fine . Have you tried the ones I posted a link to ? I've been running the 5000k ones for almost 2 years now and I actually believe they are better , a much crisper and brighter light than...

If you need your foglights to assist you seeing in the dark with your Xenons then you clearly have a problem with your bulbs .

@ the OP . You have a full fat 172 not a cup I'm assuming ? So do have factory fitted D2S HID's ? I've never had a problem with how much light comes from my Xenons on my old 172 or my 182 . After a while they can start to go a bit pink and sometimes won't start up the first time you put your...

The only specialist I've used is Mick@diamond motors . It's a bit of a commute for me from the North West , last time was nearly a 6 hour round trip ( due to traffic) . I had both my belts , water pump, dephaser done. He won't BS you and he'll pick up on any faults he comes across and explain in...

Nice write up . Good to see the 182 has outlasted all your other cars . They kinda get under your skin . I'm coming up to 10 years of ownership from new , now with 63k on the clock . I won't part with mine until the day it becomes uneconomical to keep on the road . Other than the cost of...

Like cat171 says , Genuine ones are rubbish , considering what you pay . These are good quality mats and only £22.46 delivered . You can customise what options you want i.e. colour of edge , thickness etc ........ http://www.carmatworld.co.uk/renault-clio-mk2-car-mats-1998-2005-set-of-4.html

It does sound exactly like what I had , a bad joint on the exhaust . Hope you get it sorted .

Does the stuttering go away once the engine is fully warmed ? I've had this twice now in the past couple of days and I've had it before at the back end of last year , always when the weather is very very wet and the cars been stood overnight , but once fully warmed it goes away . I know the...

Check both joints on your cat. I've had my eml come on in the past, and also rattling sound with the exhaust slightly louder and blowing. The clamp between the olive joint and centre section was knackered and leaking. Try with the cheapest fix first and replace the clamp and the fitting kit from...

Personally i think they're a brilliant tyre in the wet and dry . I'm on my 2nd set of RS3's and dry grip has never been an issue for me when pushing on . They are quite a soft tyre and there is a noticeable difference in the feel of them when you first fit them , but you soon get used to them ...

I'm on my 2nd set of RS3s, had them on for 2 weeks now This weather they really do perform well. I can't honestly say they're massively better than the RS2s though. I got mine from tyre leader, £122 delivered.

182's came with 205 45 16's as standard . 60mm hole spacing is for the cup suspension 182 , like yours . The paint code is ixell 205-110 , alot of people seem to buy their touch up paint from http://auto-paint.co.uk/carpaint/

This is how I did mine and they're still going strong after 18 months or so .First of all I cable tied the rubber to the metal exhaust bracket , as they can come away after time . Then I filled it with this Everbuild silicone sealant ...

If you're only topping up , 1 litre should be sufficient . That seller on ebay is Renault Wolverhampton , lots of people on here use them . But it might work out cheaper nipping to your local Renault dealership as you obviously have to pay postage on that bottle .

It is type D . Same as this . This looks like a new bottle it's in , you'll probably also see it in a dark blue bottle ...

I had a new OS track rod end fitted the other day at a local garage . Today I noticed the top nut and suspension top mount were loose . I tightened it up quickly with a 21mm socket but it wanted to spin a bit , so I'm not convinced it's gonna be tight enough . Do I need to use an Allen key and a...

I've been running these for about 18 months now and they've been spot on . 5000k are better , whiter than the 4300k oem. http://www.hids-direct.co.uk/d2s-35w-hid-xenon-bulb-set/

A Ahhhhhh , I see . I understand now.

Eh , what ? I don't understand your comment ?

Could be the heat shield above the exhaust come loose.

I've had lots of RS owners over the years , flash their lights , nod or raise their hand in acknowledgement .

Where's that water sloshing noise coming from?

Ph2 172's came with 195 x 45 x 16 as standard.
