    Ottoman blue Vs artic blue?

    Thats looks spot on . :smile:I thought Mondial Blue would be a better match than Arctic Blue . You'll just have to keep your eye out for some Mondial Blue side trims now .

    £44 for a Dipstick...

    Is it the same engine as the Twingo 133 ? I know f**k all about Twingos and Clio GT's . Just had a quick read and it says its the same engine . If it is , you can buy from from RPD for £23.40. You could always phone them and ask. Tel. 0844 7709375...

    Auto-wipers sensitivity level switch - broken or just crap on 172?

    You should be able to feel it click . I always leave mine turned on fully ( away from me ) . As it rains harder , the wipers should wipe faster.

    How many clio 182 still survive

    According to this , there were 5222 UK registered 182's http://web.archive.org/web/20150206052610/http://renaultsport.co.uk/roadcars/heritage Not sure how accurate this was ? But it says at the end of quarter 3 2017 there were 3121 still on the road and 1070 sorn...

    Ottoman blue Vs artic blue?

    I disagree. Mines Arctic blue and the colour is a deeper , darker blue than Mondial blue. Only ever so slightly , but it is.

    Ottoman blue Vs artic blue?

    I don't think so . Arctic blue is a deeper blue. You might get away with Mondial blue off a 172 Cup.

    What tyres?

    I almost opted for those myself a couple of weeks ago . Just the negative review about aquaplaning put me off , it rains hell of alot where I live . So I stuck with Uniroyal Rainsport 3's which I've used for nearly 2 years now ( on my 4th set) . The only thing that lets the RS3's down is the...

    SERV, ESP & ABS Lights on AND car randomly cutting out?

    It would also be useful to know who actually found the fault , garage / auto electrician ( name ) and location etc ......... I'm asuming it wasn't the first garage you took it to as they were suggesting it " might " be the ecu .It gives people an idea who to use and who to avoid .

    SERV, ESP & ABS Lights on AND car randomly cutting out?

    Glad you got it sorted. Bit of a bugger when you've got 2 problems at the same time .

    Exhaust manifold to cat bolts rusted / missing

    I agree with @Bear Head . Looks a good idea . My flanges weren't as bad as yours . But I was fed up or replacing God knows how many Genuine fitting kits over the years because they would go rusty. This is what I did back in September 2016 . Still going strong :smile...

    SERV, ESP & ABS Lights on AND car randomly cutting out?

    When people say it " might be " this , that or the other , like the garage you took it to saying it " might be " the ECU , says to me they're just guessing . So when you say it doesn't appear to be the battery or altenator , have they tested them or even tried a new battery ? Have they checked...

    ABS and ESP light help..........

    It might also be a corroded, broken /split ABS ring ?

    SERV, ESP & ABS Lights on AND car randomly cutting out?

    When my alternator went titsup , all the lights you have on came on but I managed to get home . When I got home , i turned it off but it wouldn't turn back on again . Is it just clicking when you try and start it now ? If so , again going off my own experience is that your battery might be flat...

    SERV, ESP & ABS Lights on AND car randomly cutting out?

    I had similar symptoms earlier this year and it turned out my alternator was knackered, all the lights on and it cut out , but mine wouldn't restart . Maybe you have a loose wire on the alternator ?

    Sticking caliper?

    It can be quite a common thing to happen , especially in wet weather . I've seen it mentioned alot over the years on CS. Mine does it on and off on my 182 , did it on my 172 as well . The brake pads stick the the disc . I wouldn't worry about it too much .

    Mine always sits bang on halfway , always has done since new . Usually takes 5-10 mins or so to get up to that.

    Scratched rear window

    You can buy kits with a buffing pad and cerium oxide or use a buffing pad of your own . We used to use Jewellers rouge at work , but that was literally for the finest scratches and the glass was never like new . In the end they stopped using it . Give it a go , but I doubt you'll get the results...

    Scratched rear window

    You can buy Jewellers rouge or Cerium oxide that will help take out fine scratches. If the scratch is deep though you'll be polishing forever and a day .

    Temperature needle dropped.

    It sounds plausable that you might have knocked it . You'll have to report back if it was just the coolant temp sensor wire .

    Temperature needle dropped.

    I'm going back more than 11 years now , when my 182 was only a couple of months old . My temp gauge just started to randomly go up and down , even after I'd been driving it for a while . It turned out it was just a loose connection on the coolant temp sensor . " I think " it's located under the...

    YozzaSport Exhaust Dealer

    I've seen JP exhausts get slated , I think it was on CS but not 100% about that . I also thought Ktec nicked Yozzas design years ago?? Having said that . I have an original Yozzasport exhaust , had it about 7 or 8 years now and it's been spot on :smile:

    Mike Brewer strikes again

    I didn't want to like the car after looking at the pic . But actually liked it with the 3rd wing . I didn't want to like the New show either , as much as I like watching things I've seen with Ant in it . But I liked the show too . It did seem weird not seeing Edd and I feel sorry for him as he...

    182 cruise control gone completely.

    Nice one. I'll keep my eyes open for your results . Good luck , I hope you get it sorted . :up:

    182 cruise control gone completely.

    Like I said , mine just cured itself . I could have the CC set , green light on the dash but the steering wheel buttons wouldn't function.I took off each rear light cluster , one at once and pressed the brake pedal. It turned out it was the offside light that was causing the fog light dash...

    182 cruise control gone completely.

    I used have this problem , albeit intermittently a couple of years ago . It cleared itself so I don't have a solution for you guys unfortunately . I'm sure I read somewhere ages ago that it might be linked to a bad earth/ corroded pins on the rear light clusters . Do any of you experience the...
