just been thinking and remember my old 1.2 ph1 mk2 suffered really badly from the rear arches rusting really bad. it makes me sad to think that my 182 will get like that in a few years if i keep it, is there anything i can do to prevent the arches bubbling up ? i regularly wash and wax my...

I got my wheels refurbed the other day as the standard anthracite was dying and crumbling. i got them done in a gun metal, slightly darker than standard anthra but i didnt want black. the pics do it no justice it looks good in person. i know i know, i need tyre gell big time, thats next...

Wernt sure where to put this but just though I'd share my views from my experience. I've changed my oil every 5k with carlube triple r 5 40 and I've been getting a grating noisy dephaser sound when warm and cold. So this service time I went for some elf evolution sxr 5 40 and no dephaser...

how difficult is it to remove? im mounting an audio conttrol sound processor under the seat and acess is a bit difficult. how many bolts is it?

This is doing my head in now. My gf's 1.2 constantly thinks the doors are open, then it doesn't then it does. This leads to the interior light always on unless turned off, and the doors constantly locking and unlocking when driving. Also the light on the dash coming on and off. I've swapped...

Quick one, do I clay the whole car or just the bits that aren't smooth as glass? I've had it a year and never detailed it, just wased and polished. But I've now got everything I need for a detail.

Hi there, I'm going to do a mini detail next week as the car is looking a bit shabby at the moment lol. Currently I use a sheepskin leather to dry my car after a wash. Is this ok or will it cause damage? Also do halfords sell a decent material for Buffing off the wax?

I fancy getting my cat nodded so that it just slides into the janspeed 2.25 center section as I'm sick of the standard joint. Would anywhere around south/Yorkshire do this? I was thinking rs tuning but thought they were more focused on making 300hp beasts than little things for the poor...

Picked up my Renault manifold to cat fitting kit earlier. Has anybody got any pics of where all the washers go and which way round bits go? There's 2 metal washers, and 2 plasticy cardboard sort. Which goes where? And does the nut go towards the cat end or manifold end?

Did Renault make any cliios other than ones with an f4r with a sport badge on? Reason I ask is that I keep seeing them about and wernt sure if there was a sport level trim which had a sport badge on the boot.

http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?560953-Speedline-2118-s.-White.-ET43. How did he do it? What is the paint code for bg? How do you get the 2.0 16v silver? Masking tape and spray or touch up stick?

As thread title, my auto lights were working fine last night , but this morning they decided not to come on at 6am. Where is the light sensor? Does it fail?

Stuck this on earlier and im not sure if ive got it exactly where i wanted it lol but its too late now as the sticky stuff only works once lol. ill get some pics in the light tomorow, i just cant help thinking it should be a bit further away from the number plate like the clio badge. for...

Just managed to get 5litres of elf evolution for a very good price from a local renault specialist and just wondering if 5 litres is enough for fill it to the max marker? I know it says 5.1 but is 5.1 from a completely dry engine or does this take into account that you wont be able to drain the...

took off my fuel rail guard a few months ago to change the oil filter and as i was undoing the bolts the screws actuakly snapped so they are now not long enough for me to put some new 10mm nuts onto and it looks a bit naff really. does anybody know the part numbers for the 2 prongs sticking...

getting my 182 wheels done soon, they are currently anthrscite and it dioes look good but im not sure what other colour would match well with a bg 182. i keep thinking silver as silver turinis look good on a black but im not sure if thats just because they are turinis lol. so anybody with a...

I know any 5w40 is ok but ive read a few threads about people using carlube tripple r which is what i use and getting more engine noise and then when switching to fuchs 5w40 the noise goes. i would get some from opie oils but im never in for delivery. Is the elf stuff any good? and how much...

Washed my car quickly yesterday and took a couple of photos. the wheels will be getting refurbed next month once this bad weather has clearerd up. What other cheap mods could i do to improve the look? Im thinking de badge as the amount of 1.4's with a halfords sport sticker is really doing...

Are the 182 bullets made from plastic? I thought they were but mine seem to be going rusty with a tint of green lol. Can they be cleaned or shall I just buy some new ones?

the light above my head in my 182 rattles like crazy and drives me mad lol. Has anybody found a cure for this that doesnt invole glueing it to the roof lining? well actually its not just the light, its the entire plastic unit i think.

Someone has smashed into my car at the park and ride and not left details or anything as you'd expect. I'll get some pics up later. How much would we be talkin for a new black gold sport bumper and ns wing?

The olive joint seriously annoys me on this car at the cat to center section joint. The fact it seems to blow alot and also that it drops down to 2" restricting flow. So ive been thinking. With the 2.25" sleeve adapter which ktec supplied me with when i bought my janspeed supersport could i...

Rang renault up the other day to see how much a manifold to cat kit is and they wanted 40 for it. Is there any other kit that is as good but cheaper? I used the nwp kit and it leaks unless i do the springs up fully tight which cant be a good idea.

One of my anthracite 182 wheels is kurbed to hell. How much would i be looking at paying to get it back to a haf decent condition? Doesnt need to be amazing. IN rotherham/sheffield area if anybody knows anybody

My gf's 1.2 is having an issue where it keeps thinking the doors are open so when the car auto locks, 2 mins of driving later itl unlock because it thinks that the doors have opened. I've unplugged the switches from each door an it still does it, so it's not the switches sticking. Is there...

Just started happening today. If I'm coming to a stop and put it in neutral or just rev the engine then it will drop to almost no revs for about 10 seconds and then settle unless I blip the throttle. It's quite worrying as I don't fancy it hapening pullin out at a junction. Engine seems...

My gf has got a 52 plate 1.2. For some reason today the locking and interior light keeps playing up. When you set off the car will lock as it should wen you reach about 10mph, then about a minute later the door open light will come on the dash And the doors will unlock and light will come on...

As title really. if youve got a pic of a black 182 with silver cup turinis could you please put it up. Im bored of my 182 anthracite wheels and want to see how it looks with some cup ones on.

What could it be? Seems to do it if I depress the clutch. I've noticed if I'm going fast and put it in neutral and press the clutch the whine gets a tiny bit worse.
