As per title, my 182 has a piper cat back system, but as you look at it, only the right hand side has signs of carbon inside, the left stays relatively clean. Is there a reason for this? Some sort of emission saving system or cold start flap or something? I either have to clean one more...

Make sure you buy a Bell Jetranger badge first or nobody will fall for it!! Haha

Thanks for that bud, maybe there is some light at the end of the tunnel!! Would you know what oil you put in? And how'd you go about adjusting linkages?? Is it DIY or garage job?

You think so? Even though this only started since the garage topped up the gear oil? Literally the next drive after they did it, it felt different. Surely can't be a coincidence?

£6-7000?!! You're joking right?! I've seen 530d sports go for less than 7k!! 520i se with some strange mods won't make that... Although a one off 535i M-P might... Hmmmm

Lol at this thread. Was a bit silly saying 535i when they never Meade an E60 over here with that engine. An pretty sure they don't make a 545i either?!! M badge on any less than M car is a massive No No, so stupid as a 106 Gti will blow you away, which wouldn't stand a chance with a 500+ bhp...

Hi all, after some thoughts/opinions. The 172 had a small C.V boot leak, never ran out of oil or anything, I had it topped up by a local garage, and since then when cold 3rd is notchy to get into, which it never was before..! They've used 75/80 fully synthetic when topping it up, but definitely...

Can anyone shed some light on what may cause my issue. 52 plate 172, had no noises or crunches, slight cv boot leak, had local garage top up gear oil, they've used fully synthetic 75/80 and now 3rd crunches when cold and is still a little fragile when warm...! Would 75/90 help with this? Or...

That's discouraging to hear, I'm no regular, I got back on here a few weeks ago, used to be more regular many years ago, but I don't think I'd get upset by anything, if you get one question in ten replied to its surely better than nothing? Plus there's guides and search feature for diagnosing...

I think the ej20 will go down in history as one of the most definitive engine noises ever, I love that rumble, it made an impreza feel like a little tank, but they are a car largely for idiots now. 4WD is not necessary, doesn't make it handle better, and who wants to do 18 or so MPG in anything...

Ive had 2 GTI6s, one blaze and standard, one black and tuned, loved both equally but definitely not got the clios response to input. Much lazier reactions but can be such a hoot sideways! Black looked gorgeous: Had cat cams, twin tubi decat, full stainless, BMC induction, top and bottom struts...

Passed a tidy 53 plate, looked gleaming, I was in a very dirty (at the time) 04 plate 182, passed each other twice within half hour or so.

Can't tell if this is ironic? "i had a scoob but got fed up so bought a clio 172 cliosport is full off morons lol" I love that they consider clio drivers to be 20 and under... All idiotic 15yr olds love dump valves so they aren't going to like clios! God I'm so glad I don't own Imprezas...

Nice wash today as the sun was shining, happy with results for a simple wash, will be compounding, polishing and waxing next week!

I feel you have to mature a bit to love a Clio for the right reasons. Im 26 now but used to think it was all about turbos etc, binned thousands on scoobs and similar and now couldn't ask for anymore than my little Clio. Had a good 70 odd cars since started driving, hands down, unquestionably...

Hey guys, I'm not too sure why now to be fair, yes it was very low and I think that and the 17" upset the handling maybe? Plus it was meant to have been remapped and cam'd but it really felt much slower and lazier than either of the other 2... And VERY loud, head ache inducing levels at any...

Well that's a very warm welcome, haha! Tbh I'm not the best at saying hello when newbies arrive either. That aside, look forward to being part of the forum, again! Cheers!!

Hi Guys, been registered for many years since my first valver maybe 6 or 7 years ago, and lost touch with clios. Tried a ph1 172 couple years back and hated everything about it. Then about 7months ago when looking for a cheap runaround, I bought a totally standard 172 in flame red and have found...

yeah, guage got very high, heaters work hot when temp gets about quarter or just over quarter up the guage, but apparently it has a cool running thermostat, and the temp hardly lifts to be honest, at first i thought it was a faulty guage, but it does move when it wants, lol. and the heaters are...

hi there, been out in my car today, in heavy traffic, and cooling fans didnt come on... they used to fine! the temp just kept climbing as no fans came on! the engine runs extremely cool on the move, so naturally was a bit worried when the temp climbed! anyone know why they wouldnt click on?? cheers

what about RSI springs?

need some standard springs for my clio 16v, what other springs are the same? europarts says a 1.9D has sames springs, is that correct?!! going to phone them tomorrow to check, but in the mean time, are RSI springs the same? or RT or whatever? cheers!

o2 ripped me off for the last time this month, i normally let the direct debit go through, but quickly looked at my bill couple days before he due date for taking money, it read £99! i have used my phone for maybe 10 minutes of calls and about 20 texts due to it being broken and them taking so...

it may have been something to do with the w800i you read, that had some encoding stuff for loading mp3s on, meant if you bluetoothed to someone else it wouldnt play! was annoying!

nah, it takes them straight away

dont put them in mp3, go to MSC folder (cant remember name precisely, its not the DCS or MP3 folder, its the other one), then go in media files, then audio and drop them in there. MP3 folder does not work

how loud does the de-cat make it, thinking on one for my own, i too have powerflow cat back system, but can't be bothered with a REALLY loud exhaust, mines pretty loud anyway above 4k

i was told by one person (when i had my first RT) that it would cost a fortune to do, then i spoke to someone else and they were under the impression that its an easy enough DIY job, so i wondered this myself

yeah, it wouldnt let me sign in, not to do with payment though, something about confirming ID with a credit card, already done this, but they asking again! annoying coz i lost the card, have no others!
