its completely missing. not attached at the wheel end but i have found the 2 pin connector tucked up behind the wheel arch

Ok, so I've managed to get a little more time and started to strip back the front end of the Clio so see why the wing doesn't fit properly. I had a feeling but wasn't sure when i bought it but had HPI checked it before. Anyway its got some bent bits. It looks to me like its had a light bump...

just compared the one in picture to the others on the side. is it too much thread or wrong nut? and does it matter?

Thanks for all the help and advice.

yeah thats the plan which is gonna be learning curve for me. @midge is helping me out with the ABS sensor and some other bits. Going to replace the springs (got eibachs), shocks, top mounts, discs, pads then get it to a garage to check tracking and alignments etc. May out spacers on the fronts...

should have said. eibach springs to go on. the red ones are coming off.

ah ok. i'll be totally honest if you've not guessed already. I don't know a lot about cars. the front end spacing does seem quite narrow and i think it has camber adjusting bolts in the top hole of the strut. its sitting pretty low. I've got a full set of eibach 30mm springs. What made you...

On the thread do you mean on the track rod?

Hi, yeah. The guy i got it off had it MOT'd Jan this year at 117.8k. Previous MOT was Dec 16 at 113.8k. so 4k in just over 3 years. All the tyres on it are cracked, old, no tread so def swapped them for a different set for its MOT.

looks like it. need to take the wheel off again and have a close look. def no wires hanging and no fault light on the dash. can they be mapped out?

Thanks. This cars starting to make my head hurt. another thing i need to sort out.

Probably a daft question but is there supposed to be a sensor on both front wheels struts. Also, for the front shock. If cup shocks are is the 60mm bolt centre to centre?$ No fault light on the dash Thanks.

Thanks for all the replies guys. All greatly appreciated. The more bits i fond on this one the more i'm tempted to sell it and buy a different one lol. For the heat shield, do you mean the main black one against the bulk head or one over the exhaust manifold like the one in picture. Apologies...

follow up question. Does anyone know where i can get a replacement brake servo vacuum hose/pipe from please? The one on mine, apart from having holes in seems to be a right bodge job at the manifold end and 3 bits and a dent half way down towards the mc.

Thanks for the responses. much appreciated.

Hi, I've recently got a new Clio 182 which I bought as a blind gamble off ebay and as expected it has faults (it was cheap so knew there would be issues). whilst checking it over today down the back of the engine I've found a damaged pipe (brake servo vacuum I've found out) and a well and...

Thanks. I have no idea whats on the back of mine. need to take the front wheels off and measure the fronts.

Hi, Quick question about 182 Cup Vs Non Cup rear shocks. Basically, whats the difference? I had an 04 182 but sold it a few years ago, regretted it and recently bought another 54 182 which needs some work. I knew about the difference in front shocks between cup and non cup but didn't know the...

Thanks guys they're back in after a lot of pushing and wiggling and a bit of lube (spit). cars running much smoother and idling lower so result and no more fault light.

ok. will crack on and keep trying. Thanks

Help. to keep it really short i've changed one of my injectors. When i took the rail off it was tight and i had to pull it quite hard as the o-rings where well in there. When i've come to put it back on i cant get the injectors/o-rings to go back in. if i tighten up the rail it gets a slight...

Thanks. will look at doing all 4 and poss the sensor aswell. Car was running great until a week and a half ago. just after I put it up for sale. Had it 6 1/2 years but new family member due in 2 months so have had to buy a bigger car. :cry:

102.5k.

Just the single No3 injector?

Thanks for the advice guys but i'm confused. 1) Do i change the injector (or all 4) which will fix the misfire and Knock/bank1 issue, or 2) change the lambda sensor which will fix the Misfire? and Knock/bank1 issue? and, What is a knock sensor? Apologies but I've not really worked on cars...

Help... losing the will. Hi, my clio started flagging a P0303 fault (see another thread) which i'm trying to sort out. So far changed plugs, leads and coil pack. Running a tank of fuel with injector cleaner prior to taking the leap and changing the injector(s) which seemed to be improving...

Ok thanks. I'm not a full member so can't see them. As a side note I've been struggling to see what the fuel rail guard was on my car. Since realised i don't have one. Always had garages do work on the Clio up until now and it appears one of them has sheared off one of the guards mounting...

Thanks BuCkLeY. Is it in the guides section?

Thanks. My fried came round and we swapped out the coil pack for his (also a 182). No change though. Still P0303 so looks like the injector is next. Has any one posted a video or pictures of how to do it? am i best off swapping No.3 and No.2 around and seeing if the fault moves? Currently have...

I've had a listen to the injectors (with a screw driver) and can hear them all clicking. could one still be duff?
