    Weird Quirks

    All my sports and standards did that at various times. Think there's a trick to turn on the rear washers automatically like you can do with auto lights. But even if I knew how to do it, it would be completely useless as the washer pump isn't powerful enough to do both.

    'Performance' exhaust manifold?

    I never trust stock images on eBay. That looks like it's been taken off google. And weren't toyosports making the 182 replacement exhaust that required all mounts to be moved about?

    Headlights

    Led are your long life upgrades to standard filament bulbs. Xenon lights are high intensity bulbs using different gas. HID bulbs are cheap sh/tty knock offs of proper xenon kits. Regardless of whether you choose to buy the cheap stuff or proper kits, xenon kits need modified lamps to house them.

    How to remove front suspension top mounts

    No thank you. Good for you. Can you tell me where these £85 miracle guns are on sale? Or do you think you got lucky? "Buy cheap, buy twice"

    How to remove front suspension top mounts

    You're looking at £250+ for a decent impact gun. £75 for a budget stick welder. Welders work no matter what the price but if you buy a cheap impact gun you're going to be using breaker bars for everything anyways. I was using the logic that money and time was a factor.

    Cold air feed through the headlight

    There was a whole project build for a really nice looking track car vent. I'm sure you can find it if you dig enough

    I do everything from iPhone 5. Never had trouble uploading pics from photos stream. I'd imagine it's the same for iOS tablets but I get that difficulty sometimes. You need to select you place in the text box you want the image to be and then hit insert full image

    Gear/clutch troubles

    Funny enough the problem has almost completely stopped. Slight noise with the clutch down but no where near as bad. Think you're right about the clutch going.

    Gear/clutch troubles

    Got a weird one for you all. During rush hour today my daily 1.2 made a little bang and all of a sudden 1st gear was almost impossible to engage. 2nd was difficult but possible. All other gears were fine at speed. I pulled over briefly to check things over. With the engine off, the gears all...

    Realistically, how many miles before my Clio dies?

    ^^ +1 Petrol money or road expenses are agreed between the employer and employee/contractor. In reference to the OPs question, the car lasts as long as you take care of it. There's not an engine in the world that will blow up (with normal use) unless it's been deprived of oil, coolant or cold...

    door cards and dash

    In that case the inserts can be removed from the cards and swapped for others. Scrap yards usually have the 1.2 cloth door cards all over the place.

    door cards and dash

    I wouldn't paint the glove box. It can look good to begin with but even with proper pre clean and degrease, the paint lifts with summer heat. Just a pointer but You can get flock texture wrap that sits quite well on the plastic. when you say fit fabric, do you mean the small insert where the...

    aerial twists but wont come out!

    Sounds like the screw threads broken. Cut it above the bolt and see if you can take the bolt off and then the remaining screw thread with pliers.

    Clio II (RS 182) rear spring seats

    Haven't a clue. You can pick them up for pennies from scrap yards. Easily cleaned up too.

    Clio II (RS 182) rear spring seats

    All mk2 clios have the same rear axel so, yeah the rubbers will fit no matter what variant they're from. Give the springs a check over when you instal the rubber seats. Chances are they've been scratched up pretty bad and if that's the case you need to paint them to stop them rusting.

    Black Headlights for 182 Xenons...

    The black insert non xenon lights weren't exclusive to 172s. A few non sports had them. Local scrap/salvage places will sell them at £25-30 each. I've not seen a lot of xenon lights with the black insert. Wouldn't advise putting xenon bulbs in non xenon lamps. Unless you want to blind everyone...

    Swapping instrument clusters

    Never seen the first cluster. The second looks like a mk2 ph1 with black coloured dials and trim. Show some pics of the plugs and connections and you may get an answer quicker

    Mileage discrepancy

    Might be stating the obvious and/or missing something but why are the first date records of each year a solid round 1000? Smells of guesstimation to me

    Thanks guys. Took the box out and it's got no marks on it whatsoever but I found no sensor or holes for such components. Much appreciated!

    Jc5-029 part no location

    My clios got gearbox trouble. It's a mk2 ph2 and it SHOULD have the jc5-029 gear box with the speedo sensor. However someone has swaped out the original engine and now I am unsure as to whether or not the box is compatible. Already raised the car and had a poke around but it doesn't seem to have...
