Excellent work. Car coming on well. The refurbed wheels will make a big difference. Did mine last year.
Can I ask what brand Engine Mounts did you go for?

Sorry mate - just seen this!
I got the heatshield from someone on here that was selling one in the Parts for Sale section a good few months ago.
Maybe try a wanted post??
Thanks for the reply. Will check the calipers/hoses for leaks.
Do you recall if the brakes felt fine at the time? Good pedal feel?

Out walking the dog this morning and spotted a very clean looking RB 182 with grey Turinis.
Looked lovely.
Anyone from here?

Thanks for the reply.
Thats makes sense! Did think the thread was a bit corse!
Thanks for the offer, but Im in Anglesey so a bit far.
Will order some off Amazon, unless anyone on here has some of the original nuts lying around in exchange for some beer tokens??

So Ive removed the engine bulkhead carpet thing and replaced with the heatshield off a 1.2.
It came without any nuts, and Ive fitted it with an M6 nut but it doesnt fully tighten and the heatshield rattles!
Ive tried an M5 nut but its too small.
Can anyone please tell me where I can get nuts...
Hi
Thanks for the update, thats good to hear that yours passed today.
Not had time to find out the brand of cat, but its a cheap one.
My cat is located in the same position as where the original one was.
If yours is directly welded to the manifold, does this mean its before both lambda...
Ahh i see. Thanks for that.
To be honest Im not sure where the cat is on mine. Only had the exhaust and cat on there a few days before going for MOT and not had a proper look underneath.

Ahh really. Thats insightful, thanks for replying!!
Can I please ask, what were your readings for Lambda? Mine seem borderline, wondering if a new Lambda may help things?
Also, where you getting a new cat from?
Thanks

Not sure mate. Didnt notice it was on there until I got home. My reg is correct on it tho.
Does anyone know if the Min and Max limits on the test results are correct for a Clio?

Hi All
Looking for some advice and guidance please! My 172 Cup failed its MOT on Thursday on the emissions being too high.
I bought the car last year and it had a decat pipe on. Prior to the MOT this year, As the rear box on exhaust was rattling and I had no cat, Ive just had a local exhaust...
Thanks for that.
My radiator isnt bust (yet) but just looks in a sorry state!
Thanks for the recommendation on the hoses.
I dont suppose you or anyone has a list of the correct size jubilees/clamps required for the hoses?
Thanks

Thanks for the reply. Ive had a read of your thread and that helps seeing some photos of it being done.
Excellent work on your car too! Im tempted to follow the same route with changing the radiator, coolant bottle and possibly hoses at the same time as doing the matrix.
Are you happy with the...
Did you change your heater matrix in the end? If so, did you attempt it yourself? How long did it take?
Also, which brand matrix did you go for?
Cheers

Thanks for the replies.
Would you guys say is it worth the work of upgrading to the 182 Cup Suspension?
Or would sticking a set of 172 Cup shocks provide a large proportion of the benefit?

Hi
After some advice please. Ive seen a lovely looking standard 182 for sale very close to where I live. It has the Cup Spoiler Pack, but doesnt have the Cup Suspension Pack. Personally I am looking for a 182 with both Cup packs, so I thought could I just change the suspension elements on this...
