Hi all, Random one really, having recently purchased my 2005 Clio 182 does anyone else also feel the performance is a little bit sort of flat unless your ringing it's neck at 5k+ rpm? Don't get me wrong its great fun as was my 2002 Clio 172 that I owned many years ago but I just feel they...

As title chaps I have a full fat 182 with the darker wheels fitted from factory I prefer the wheels in silver so before getti g mine painted thought id ask if anyone is opposite and wanted to swap there silver for mine! Must be straight and not kerbed as mine are almost spotless with exception...

Mk6 and mk7 Golf R both 4 cylinder mate 😂 Personal preference anyway a suppose but to me a debadged 172 could be mistaken for a 1.2 Dynamique 😊 Healthy banter :tonguewink::up:

182 everytime for me (30 years old) Shame some think the 182 pipes look chav Must be same for the Golf R32 and mk6 Golf R owners then and even worse for the mk7 Golf R with 4 pipes 😂:yum:

Sorry to hear about the write off mate but with all due respect ive owned both a 2002 low mileage 172 and now a 2005 low mileage 182 full fat and I can tell you the 182 is the better car to drive and look at plus its a few years younger 172's look booring in comparison to the 182 without that...

All done 20 minutes :-)

Morning all Pair of rear shocks turnedup today for my ff 182 Am i right in thinking that if I leave car on ground I shoukd be able to just undo the top nut and bottom bolt then swap the shock over easily etc? The new shocks are genuine renault parts so already have the bush etc fitted in the...

Hi What are the standard figures for a 182? 176 bhp im sure I've read somewhere! What have people been achieving on the rollers from standard 182's Rolling road morning coming up in few weeks with few chaps from work so might throw the little clio on there Anything from 150-180 I guess?

Now have a scan gauge plugged in and digital RPM is reading between 780-820 with engine warm

Hmmm hope not otherwise mine is low! Seems to drive fine Anything simple to check?

Hello all what should the warm idle be on a standard 182? Mine seems to settle at around 700rpm when warm does this sound about right? Idle quite low dont they if so? Thanks Matt

All done chaps Bought a 3 leg type this morning and off it cam Was very very tight though No oil lost either which is a bonus Full Service complete Rear brakes changed All caliper sliders checked and re-greased Car washed, polished and waxed Thanks again :cool::up:

Thanks for all replies chaps Hopefully get it off tomorrow! Anyone ever used one of the 3 leg type filter tools on the 172/182?

What's so crazy about it! I drained the oil from Sump them came to remove filter but it wouldn't budge That's generally the order you do an oil change on a car Have put the fresh oil in and now hoping to swap filter out when I get suitable tool for the job etc

Thanks chaps ive tried a couple of different strap wrenches but no joy Im going to hopefully get it off with one of the 3 leg universal ones that you use with a ratchet (link below) http://www.ebay.co.uk/ulk/itm/380991414420

Yes ideally would have waited but needed the car and never saw the filter removal as being an issue 😂 Will jack front of car up again too which should help Just cant be bothered with dropping oil again and needing another sump washer!

Morning guys as title really Will I be faced with a big mess if I don't drain the oil when removing filter? Changed oil couple days ago but couldn't get filter off Now have a decent wrench so ideally just want to swap the filter over and leave the fresh oil in there! Thanks

Hi all My recently purchased 182 has no locking bolts currently fitted on wheels Anyone have any for sale or recommend a decent set that definitely fit etc Lots on ebay but can't be sure they are right really Is our bolts 12mm x 1.5 or 12mm x 1.25 ? Thanks

Evening all Been giving car a good check over and decided to check slider pins on front calipers One was seized solid and rusted in etc I managed to get it out and grease it up etc but would ideally like to get a pair of new ones for that caliper now! Issue I have is looking on evay there...

Hi all, Looking to change rear pads on my 182, ahave ordered some mintex pads, have heard the sliders etc can be problematic for sticking etc, any advice on whether I should be looking to grease it all up or replace sliders etc while im doing the pads? Do the pistons generally wind back in ok...

Thanks again Thought id paid slightly over odds looking at some others for sale although the prices seem all over the place! Loving the little 182 though, owned a early 172 a few years ago, much prefer the 182 though Also owned numerous other cars over the years including mk5 golf Gti's, mk1...
