Battery back on car. Lock the doors with the dash button then exit the car through the passenger door. Lock passenger door with the key and then remove battery. This will not arm the alarm.

I bought one from eBay, far superior to the flimsy job that Renault put on as standard.

Out of interest, what were the insurance quotes?

Re: Diesel in a 182 Nobody will get wind of anything, I'm not on a witch hunt towards the garage - hence I haven't named them. I fully appreciate that getting the filling station to admit liability will be very difficult, but then to be honest this isn't the kind of thing that you would just...

Re: Diesel in a 182 Am pretty confident no permanent damage will have been done, I'm more interested in getting her running right again than worrying about the garage to be honest. Will definitely be an interesting chat when the manager phones me back though.

Re: Diesel in a 182 I'd guess so yeah mate. No idea to be honest, just repeating what I've been told.

Re: Diesel in a 182 The garage will remain nameless until I see what they have to say about the issue. Needless to say, it's a large chain and not a supermarket garage. They have since taken the pump 'offline' so to speak. That's very close to what the RAC chap said, a dose of redex...

Re: Diesel in a 182 Cheers Mike ;) No, thankfully I am not daft enough to put diesel in my 182, the unleaded I filled up with on Saturday however was contaminated with diesel it seems. Car ran fine, not a murmur until it got right down to the last bit left in the tank. Diesel 'floats'...

Re: Diesel in a 182 Haven't got a decat, but tbh I'm not too worried about that. If the cat is the only thing to die then I think I'll have got away lightly - needless to say the garage will be paying! Tom - there was about £5 of 'contaminated fuel' left in when the problems arose, she now...

A few of you will be aware of this, but without going into too much detail on here what are the likely implications? We're not talking £20 worth of oil burner, but potentially contaminated unleaded fuel. Car is running 'ok' at the moment but has kicked loads of black smoke out the exhaust...

Last night, about 6pm towards the carpark formerly known as the M60. You were behind me for ages ;) Cup has white wheels and you have a CS Sticker in the rear window.

They'll fit but the electric window switches will need some alterations as I think the wiring is different. Oh and where the door cards meet the dash is a different profile too.

Not as far as I know mate. It's been done on here before, someone was selling a set of coilovers with non-cup hubs recently. See here.

Mk2 ph1 (pre 2001) into mk2 ph2 (post 2001) do you mean? (triangle lights) Mk3 is a completely different Clio.

Some coilovers have a different width meaning they wouldn't fit the non-cup hub anyway. I'm not saying this is the case, but it has been known. If I remember correctly 182 hubs are slightly wider than a regular 182's. It would be easier/safer to change the hubs.

It was cheap, lol, £100 for basically a brand new system. Couldn't say no TBH :)

My mounts were knackered courtesy of the Magnex I had on previously ;) I'm sure that was heavier than the OE exhaust!

I replaced my mounts. Seems to line up well and I'm happy with it.

With 3 points and a fault claim you'll struggle to get it much lower anyway in my opinion.

1, Yes they'll fail. Get some standard ones fitted, even if you swap them back afterwards. 2, Should be ok - providing the car isn't too low that it wont get on their ramp/lift! 3, Will be fine, advisory at worst.

So is it purely an emissinons sensor? It has no bearing on how the car runs?

Welcome back mate :) Chris - it was resprayed.

To change the ballast you will have to remove the headlight from the car. The ballast is screwed to the base of the headlamp, I forget exactly but I'm pretty sure it's just two screws and then plug and play. Oh and for those that mentioned it, a complete 182 exhaust including CAT for a 182...

AOL are part of The Carphone Warehouse, it's the call centres that are based in Pakistan.

I was with AOL for years, admittedly their customer care was beyond belief but thankfully I had very few problems. Can't really help on the OFCOM issues but from my experience with OTELO they probably wont do a great deal at this stage.

I was referring to an older clio with regards the tightening, Mk1 IIRC.

Might need tightening, with it being a new belt. I've had this before on a different Clio.

This of any use?

Aux belt, fan is electric. ;)

I'll try and bob along but don't book me a spot etc as I'm fair busy this weekend.
