    North East Cam Belt Change

    I thought the general feeling is that the water pumps rarely fail and so you dont have to do them out of caution when the belt is off? BTW I'm waiting to hear back what parts they use before comitting anyway.

    North East Cam Belt Change

    Just had a good quote from them for my timing belt and aux belt, not sure what exactly it includes with tensioners etc, but competitive nonetheless - anyone else recommend them?

    spark plugs

    eBay for the standard NGK ones, they are the best for the car and can be had for about £30ish.

    Peoples Favourite Colour 182

    True. The only Inferno I've seen locally was on the industrial estate at Bowburn a few months back and I've not seen it since.

    Hesitates when cold

    I think most of them seem a bit rough when cold, mines hopeless till I've been driving 3 or 4 minutes at least.

    Coolant - complete system flush & change [guide?]

    Managed it with the mole grips, wasn't too bad. Lost a fair amount of coolant though when I was letting air out, so I'll have to get it checked for anti-freeze :dapprove:

    Scuttle panel screw

    I pulled it out anyway, wasn't sure what you had to do with it :)

    Scuttle panel screw

    The one on the driverside, how do you get them off as mine is just turning and I dont want to break it. Is there a knack to it?

    Coolant - complete system flush & change [guide?]

    Think it'll have to be a pair of mole grips today, credit crunch and all that ;)

    Peoples Favourite Colour 182

    I do mate, but not a lot - mainly from Q Hill to Bowburn where I work, the odd trip to Gilesgate, Peterlee, Spennymoor and that's about it though. I'm too old to be cruising every night like I used to! Where you from then?

    Peoples Favourite Colour 182

    I missed a reasonable LY at Seaham a week before I bought mine. I then nearly bought an inferno as it was my favourite colour at the time by far from North Sheilds, but it was vastly overpriced and I wasn't keen on the Cup interior. I was quite lucky as I went from him not budging much on...

    Peoples Favourite Colour 182

    First time I've ever seen that colour, doesn't look fantastic on my screen as it's a bit dark, but guessing it will look quite cool when you're next to it as I can just see the colour in areas of the car.

    Peoples Favourite Colour 182

    LY probably, but I'm not sure I could live with it as an everyday car. I like BG when it's sunny and they're clean, but that's only about 0.2.5% of the time....

    Clio GT 1.6 (128 Bhp)

    I seriously like the look of those more than the 200's, first time I've seen one in this thread the other day too.

    Coolant - complete system flush & change [guide?]

    I dont think I even dare guess how much those are :D I was expecting normal hose clamp pliers or something.

    Coolant - complete system flush & change [guide?]

    Sorry for upping the thread after ages, but what tool do you need? I'm going to do mine tomorrow and so would rather get one than spend ages trying to get them off with something else.

    Clio GT 1.6 (128 Bhp)

    I really like the look of that one, first time I've seen one.

    How do you tell if they're RS stamped?

    Clio 182...what do you dislike?

    Lumpy cold start. Kinda wheel wobble thing I haven't managed to sort yet. Expensive servicing (cam belts etc). Apart from that though I love it most of the time. Previous to this car I had a mk 2 Golf Gti 16v which I loved and loved the look of and is one of the best hot hatches ever made. I...

    Not for me.

    Coolant Capacity

    Fair enough, so I need another two litres of the same stuff.

    Coolant Capacity

    Cheers, also while I'm asking - what percentage of anti-freeze should I use?

    Coolant Capacity

    Anyone know the capacity of the 182 FF coolant system? I've got a 1 litre bottle of Fuchs Eskimo lying around and as I've no idea when mine was last changed I was wondering how much more I'd have to add to it if I do a change soon.

    A very rare modification ...

    I like that a lot.

    RB 182 FF > 182 Trophy

    I like the colour and the novelty, but I think I would find it hard to justify 'upgrading' unless I used the difference and appreciated it constantly. If I was buying from not already owning a Cup Packed/slightly modded 182 then it would probably be a case of heart ruling head and I wouldn't...

    Giving it the beans?

    I try not to, but I'm often pushing it to get to work as I only live 4 miles away or so and often leave it late, but the route I take out of the village is ideal territory for the car - twisty, small, windy, hilly back roads about a mile out of the village (60 limit), with very little traffic...

    newbie from the dark side

    I dont mind the CTR's shape, I prefer the new one, but the older one looks 'ok' to me - whereas the Clio from the front to me has a bit more presence and 182's from the back too - side profile I'm not so sure on.
