i've had a look on some of the other threads and i can't see it, the V6 airbox which some people are putting on the 172/182's, is the one from the Espace or the Clio V6? Or are they the same lol?
Cheers,
Yeah i'm in Parkstone too mate, i'll have a search around.
Don't really want to buy brand new for cost reasons, but might end having to do that! Think i found the 1.2's for about £660 and 2118's for around £850 i think.
What you got on yours?
Yeah they look nice, but i just fancy a change tbh. Plus a couple of mine are kurbed and have the paint falling of them. Where is the cheapest place to look for wheels?
If it could be another Renault, i'd go for a Twingo 133. If not, realisticly, probably a Ibiza Bocengra.
If money was no object, Ferrari 550 Maranello, most gorgeous car ever made made IMO.
I've just brought my 04 plate 182, and the cheapest i could get it was just over £1500 with Elephant. I'm 20 with 3 year NCB. It all depends on your post code, mileage etc.. Doesn't help its not off the road at night time.
Which wasn't terrible as i was previously paying £1200 for a 55 plate...
I've just had a problem similar and it was the steering rack bushes that were completely shot away. It was allowing the steering rack to move from left to right on it's own abit lol.
Yeah, it was the bushes that hold the steering rack in place. They were completely shot, the p/steering fluid was contaminated, so that wasn't helping either.
Got the suspension bushes changed yesterday, along with another flush through of some new power steering fluid and tracking re-aligned and the car is spot on now :).

They reckon that when the power steering fluid was topped up with windscreen wash, that is what has done the damage to the steering rack and/or steering rack bushes.
I hope it hasnt done the rack in as well.
Also found out that it has already been fitted with Eibach Sportline springs, so...
Had 2 opinions on the car now, one from K-Tec and another from a garage that we've used for a few years. K-Tec reckon that it is the steering rack that is worn, and the other garage thinks that it is the bushes that hold the steering rack in place, as they can move the rack by hand lol. Both say...
I definetly wasn't coming from the headlight washers themselves. It wa dripping down from underneath the bumper.
Is there a way of 'turning off' the headlight washer then? I'm really bothered by them if i must be honest...
Liam
Yeah that's true, probably is the bushes or something unfortunetly! It's going in on Saturday so i'll post back when they tell me whats gone.
Any idea on the cost of the bushes?
Liam
Surely if it was the washer bottle it would leak nearer to it, like the back of the wheel arch?
C2kev, is it a easy fix when it is headlight washers?
Cheers, Liam
I was having a proper good look at it this morning and it is about 15' at worst, but most the time it is around the same as your's Gardus (5'-8'). But sometimes it is central, which is really wierd..
The car seems the handle fine, i.e. the same left and right, so i'm hopeing it is just the...
I parked up at home after work today and after a couple of minutes there was a puddle underneath the front right corner of the bumper... It's definetly windscreen wash.
Will the problem be with the washer jets for the lights or would it be the bottle itself? Any help would be greatly...
I've been told by the garage where i'm getting a new tire fitted at the weekend that it could be the tracking on one of the corners. I've been looking through this forum and it seems as though lots of people's Clio's have wonky steering wheels... Maybe something i've got to put up with...
No i havent, as i only picked the car up on Friday. I've done the tire pressure's as that hasnt done anything either.
I dont think it could be the tracking as it would be out when you go both left and right..
