The natural order of things: Q : “My 1*2 needs new tyres, what’s the best out there?” A : Michelin PS3 (checks prices) Any others? Chorus : “Michelin are ancient. Avon ZV7 is the best tyre in the world” (checks prices) Sounds great. Cheers guys I’ll buy Avons. 💭 Crikey, these tyres cost...

I bought a battery relocation kit from Demon Tweeks when I did mine. So have you used the correct cable? Extending the length of cable increases resistance, which can affect voltage. There’s a formula for this but essentially you’re just introducing thicker cable. And to take the guesswork out...

Good to see it’s gone to a good home. They are a hoot to drive.

Thanks. When I eventually sell my 182 RB, that was the place I was going to list it. Whilst it’s been a chew for you, it’s been interesting watching it play out. Good luck with whatever you decide to do.

Is there a period of time the OP would now have to wait before he can trade it? As in the original bidder suddenly rocks up with the money wanting his car and it’s gone the journey.

It’ll certainly feel more engaging out on circuit. Have you kept all the interior parts or throwing them out?

I found that firing up the engine after bleeding the system with the engine off changed the pedal feel as well. But logically, starting up triggers various components in a braking system, especially with ABS/ESP, causing everything to move again. If that make sense? From the manual: The ESP...

My 182 when I stuck some ASTs and Recaro Pole Positions in it, then took a trip up to Tan Hill. 😫

I fixed one of mine with these. https://www.toolstation.com/led-ip65-flexible-strip-light/p43662 Just find the equivalent for your country. But sometimes it can be as simple as a bit of corrosion, so a clean-up with contact spray might fix it. If not, you pretty much strip off the old diodes...

My OSF pads were doing this when I was just driving it back and forth to the yard. Now I’m using it as a daily, it’s got even wear.

I've got all my kits off johnyboy-1 and they've always been genuine. It was a few years ago so he might not always supply genuine now. Just double-check first by dropping him a message. The kit he's selling looks genuine bar the water pump.

Eezibleed is what I use. A good bit of kit for the price.

I managed without clip on my first rebuild. But it took a lot of brake fluid. I was using Castrol SRF React at the time. That was expensive 🤦🏻‍♂️ Whilst I now close the lines with brass blanking plugs when doing brake work, I had the calipers off mine for ages. The fluid had pretty much stopped...

Good stuff Dave. Might see you at Croft in the summer 🚗💨

Phase 1 & 2 PR1262. You’re welcome.

I think there’s a chap on here that ran them but wouldn’t recommend in the wet.

£900 is madness. I gave my BG with 133k away for £2,000 because the belts needed doing and could have sold it 10 times over. It was a very good car in great condition. It was sold on shortly after with the belts done for over 4k. Lesson learned. Don’t be that guy.

My mates bought some of those for their Megane 250 and did Croft in September. I was there and they were flying. They rated them highly.

I’m not familiar with them to be honest, but having a quick look at their Facebook page, the majority of the work seems to be cavity waxing and underseal. That’s something you can easily do yourself. I’d only give mine to a restoration company where fabrication was a requirement. How bad is...

I’ve had Avon ZV7 on my 182 and they’re ok but not an all rounder like the PS3. I often hear the term old design in relation to the Michelin but these are also old cars and very sensitive to changes. Tyre choice makes a massive difference on these cars. You can get away with sticking anything on...

Cream, Chocolate and Bronze. Looks nice.

It’s not too bad.

My mates have the 250 Cup and it’s really good. Both have high performance Audi and BMW cars but love driving it. I’d definitely consider one of those or a 265 once the old girl goes the journey. A 200 just doesn’t inspire me. I’d rather go back to an N or perhaps a GTi or GTD Golf. The logical...

I've been driving MK2 182 Clios to work for 5 years. My RB is fully restored with new genuine parts, except for the exhaust. It's factory, comfortable, and great for long distance business meetings. Insurance is £17/month, averaging 35 mpg. Road tax is £32/month. Consider a factory 182 Trophy...

Pretty much the same as this https://cliosport.net/threads/mk2-dci-100-o-s-driveshaft-removal-guide.848350/

That’s precisely why things need replacing. I’m not suggesting throwing a parts cannon at an old car when there’s no need, but there were 3 things I never changed on my RB Resto. 1. PAS pump - It used to whine slightly but functioned perfectly well. I also had the opportunity when the engine...

I ran the Sachs organic kit and lightened flywheel for years in my circuit car without issues. Great bit of kit.
