It’s been done before. There’s a guy on here who was selling the panel and buttons for the cruise control. Do a search and I’m sure it’ll come up. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That doesn’t look too bad to be fair. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It wasn’t cheap to be fair. It was over £1k for the body shop to pull the boot floor out, then cut off the old crash bar, before welding in a new one, then spray it all to look decent. I got £1900 from the insurance company though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I got rear-ended in my Clio a few years ago. It was written off but I bought it back. I had the boot floor pulled out and a new crash bar under the rear bumper. The bumper wasn’t damaged so that got re-used. If it was a good’n, don’t let the insurance company have it. Sent from my iPhone...

They're not lacklustre to be fair. Like others seem to be saying, perhaps it's just the way they wear. I think I'll give the pads the once over and check that the sliders haven't gotten sticky. Thanks for the tips peeps.

I don’t tend to brake late/hard, so the pads have loads of meat left on them. I’ll have a look at the sliders and see how it goes. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Had the 182 MOT’d the other day and one of the advisories was corrosion on the front discs. The outboard side of them looks fine. Perfectly normal. However, the inboard side of the discs looks like the pads aren’t sweeping properly on the outer and inner edges of the discs. I took a few pictures...

Changed the manifold to cat gasket and bolts, after the old ones broke free. A simple job in theory, but spent most of the time trying to saw off the old bolts, which had rusted on. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Replaced the windscreen washer pump after the old one made a lot of noise but pumped nothing. Followed the guide on here after finding a replacement on eBay for £5 ??

Did you go for the extra load tyres, or the standard ones in the end? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

£168 is for the 87W It’s £135 for the 83W Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have found that https://www.f1autocentres.co.uk have been really competitive for pricing. I’ve had the Goodyears and some Michelin CrossClimates from them, cheaper than anywhere else. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

They’re an old pair of Sportrac 3s I found on eBay a couple of years ago. I ran them on my Focus and they were great. The Clio is a lot lighter and consequently, they’re more prone to understeer in the wet, but that said, they’re good, trustable tyres. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’m running Goodyear Eagle AS2s, but only on the back of the Clio, so can’t say how good they are when pushed. They seem to stick the rear end to the road well enough. They’ll go on the fronts when my old Vredesteins wear out, and I’ll run the Goodyears all round. Sent from my iPhone using...

There’s a few pictures from the official Goodwood Breakfast Club Facebook and Instagram pages Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just seen this thread. I’ll be there too. I got a site parking pass too, which I was a little surprised about, as I only applied for it at the beginning of the week. Let’s hope the rain stays away!

Had to replace my negative battery cable after the old one sheared off when I went to start the car the other day. My attempt to bodge it to get to in to work that day didn’t work at all! lol Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Not sure to be honest. He did put a UV coating on after to try and keep them fresh for as long as possible. He usually does smart repairs and pdr stuff. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks. They’ve not long been professionally refurbished. He did a cracking job on them to be fair. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The bonnet on my titanium silver 182 was rusting badly, so I found one on eBay but couldn’t find the right colour. In the end, I had to settle for a white one. I fitted it and although it wasn’t a terrible as I’d imagined, I couldn’t leave it like that. Anyway, it’s been in today to get wrapped...

Mine is the same. Just the one plastic bit to the right of the boot catch. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’ve been after having a replacement bonnet wrapped for a little while now, and I approached two companies around here: KJ Wraps in Newbury - http://www.kjwraps.co.uk/ Car Customs in Basingstoke - https://www.car-customs.co.uk/ I went with Car Customs in the end as they were a little cheaper...

I’ve been after a replacement bonnet for ages. Finally found one on fleabay. Fitted it yesterday. Only issue is that it’s white and my Clio is titanium silver. Had a look at some wrapping samples today and it’s booked in for a carbon fibre bonnet wrap next month. Sent from my iPhone using...

Well that’s not the recommendation in the instructions that come with the Evol dogbone. They recommend tightening by hand then something like a further 1/4 of a turn. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’ve had my Evol dogbone on my 182 for about a year now. Initially, it was a bit more noisy at low revs, mostly when pulling away. However, that soon died down as everything settled in. Now I don’t notice it at all and it doesn’t make any annoying vibrations. Most importantly of all, the...

Did you ever sort this problem out? Mine fixed itself for a month or two, but now I’m back to how it was before, that being the steering wheel buttons doing the wrong things.

Cleaned the 182 this afternoon, along with the wife’s Civic.

Looks good. I’m in a similar situation with my titanium silver 182. The bonnet is rusting and finding a replacement bonnet in the same colour is like looking for rocking horse poo. My only options are an eBay bonnet in a random colour, or a new one from Euro Car Parts. Either way, I think I’ll...

My engine dropped a valve on a track day. Ultimately it had a similar result - I needed a new engine. I picked up one on here from a 172 for £250 and had it fitted at Rentech for about £500, so way cheaper than a brand new engine.
