Around £450 to £600 before selecting any options, although that’s with my current NCD being applied which is in use on my other car now. AA don’t appear to do multicar like my previous insurer who mirrored the NCD.
I have just found the topic where I discussed the rust traps and other's provided their input as well: https://cliosport.net/threads/clio-172-182-hidden-rust-traps.832217/
They also rust between the fuel tank and body on the driver side, up high so essentially beneath the rear seat but above what you can easily access. I think to properly resolve would require dropping the tank.
My theory is that in another five years, the cars will best be dismantled into the...
Hi,
I have a 2004 Renaultsport Clio 182 which is not currently my everyday vehicle. Who are the insurance favourites right now?
FYI - Greenlight will not quote with my postcode.
Thanks,
Hi,
Thank you for the help, I found a local place in Rochdale who have replaced the centre box with what looks like a clam shell item. Car appears to run okay and does not appear to have any obvious reduction in performance (thinking of potential gas restriction?).
Thanks,
Hi,
Yes the cat is in place and I plan to keep it.
I have asked my local good mechanic and also local car specialist and neither are aware of any good local exhaust specialists that can work with stainless.
I am based in the north eastern part of Greater Manchester (near Oldham and Rochdale)...
Hi,
I have managed to find out that they will supply the revised silencer separately but am struggling to speak with them via email (I e no replies). Does anyone have a telephone number for them as they don't list one on the website?
Thanks,
Hi,
What do you use to coat them?
I was using an expensive UV resistant wax after doing a "restoration" but it only seemed to delay the inevitable by about 12-24 months. Alternatively has anyone replaced the plastic covers on their xenon headlights?
Thanks,
Hi,
Is there a directory or list somewhere of good Renaultsport specialists in both North West and West Yorkshire?
Being based in the north eastern outskirts of Greater Manchester does put me in the realm of no-man's land of Renaultsport specialists it appears!
Thanks,
Hi,
Thanks - is that not also a decat pipe according to the RS192 website?
I would like to retain the cat to save hassle come MOT and for the car to not flag up warning lights.
Thanks,
Hi,
My Clio has an RS192 fitted which appears dated 07-12 (presuming that means 2012). The centre silencer box has fractured where there are pipe support stays and also where the pipe enters into the silencer box.
A couple of weeks ago I emailed RS192 via the website email address and have...
Hi,
My Clio 182 has rebuilt calipers all round, and also fitted new Pagid discs with OEM spec Brembo pads all round as well.
I have found that the brakes can sometimes be grabby / snatchy at slower speeds, and other times behave more progressive like they used to. At speed I have found that...
Hi all,
Thanks for the replies. It's wide throttle above 5,000 rpm drops it onto three cylinders. Fault code is cylinder 3 misfire. Having had similar symptoms of an injector failure before that's what I reckon it is.
Hi,
Where from? Can only find them listed at £65 each?
Thanks,
Hi,
Is it possible to get the Clio 182 injectors refurbished and if so by whom and how much?
Weighing up options after it looks as though I have an injector failure based on symptoms and fault code.
Thanks,
Hi 0ss,
It's a previous reg for my car but was removed some years before the car came into my hands. The car's back window also has the outline of three track day stickers (presumably removed by a previous owner). I had hoped that perhaps the car had been in the Cliosport circles at some...
Hi,
My Clio 182 had a felt liner on the inside face of it's nearside rear wheel arch. This has disintegrated and didn't survive the last underbody pressure wash.
Are there meant to be one on both sides of the car?
Are they necessary or merely to minimise water spray from the middle of the...
Hi,
Common rust area on Clio 2 bonnets. I had mine repaired (Artic Blue) but was warned the corrosion would come back because of the design of the bonnet. I got the front bumper painted at the same time, and they blended the bonnet in with the wings. Cost in 2017 was roughly £300.
The...
Hi,
I have been doing some corrosion maintenance on my Clio 182, and have discovered a few mud traps which don't appear widely discussed.
My findings were:
A triangular shelf area between the rear axle mounts, tucked up high;
Beside the fuel tank on the driver's side, adjacent the axle...
