Just ordered my decat from nwperformance, 58 quid what a bargain. Anyway, just wondering if theres going to be any other bits ill need to fit it like new gasgets or bolts? Is it really as simple as remove the clamp from center, remove the 2 bolts and lambda and replace with decat pipe?

Anybody else get this in a 182? Im fairly sure its something to do with the way air is hitting the car around the wing mirror or something? Only does it when i get above 30mph, its not engine related as it still does it if i take it out of gear.

As part of my recent service as I've only just got the car so wanted to give everything a good change as I'm not too sure the previous owner treat her right after finding rad weld in my water. Changed, thermostat, coolant, coolant temp sensor, plugs with new ngks, oil, radiaor as it had a...

Sorted my new radiator out, everythings fine. but now coolant is leaking from the pipe at which comes out of the top radiator to the thermostat. Somehow the water is getting past the metal clip and getting out of the end of the pipe at the thermostat end. Ive tried moving the clip around a...

Fitted my janspeed a few weeks back but have noticed im still getting a tiny bit of liquid dripping from some of the joints on a cold start up. Ive had a feel for blowing and can feel a small amount of air blowing from the center to cat joint. I used some paste called fire putty which was...

Saw it so had to park next to it lol. Cinema carpark at meadowhall.

Had all the bumper off today to find my leak and its definatly the rad. Anybody give me a quick guide on how to change it as ive managed to pick up a cheap one. Its bolted onto the top of the air con rad from what i can see, does this mean the air con rad needs to come out aswel? or is there...

I changed my coolant temp sensor as I though it was that giving me problems. But still the temp needle only gets up to just below half way, if I turn off the heaters then it gets to where it should be. Is a new thermostat next on the list? Need to get the leaky rad replaced aswel

Still not had time to see where my leak is coming from due to work etc. I cleaned all the cleaning system out becuase previous owner had filled it with rad weld, but ive not put any coolant in for it to just leak back out over the week (it looses about half a header tank a week) What are the...

Just been draining my coolant in the process of trying to find this damn leak and also to check my thermostat and noticed the coolant has got what looks like copper filings in it? Is this just a type of coolant which has been previsously used or is itsomething serious?

Well my emmissions light has come back on so theres definatly something wrong as it failed the emmissions test on the mot last week. Car is running perfectly fine, averaged 41mpg down the motorway earlier. Ive got one of those cheapo hand held code readers you can get from ktec and all its...

R8, fit my ktek cat back today and t looks and sounds quality. However, if I rev it in second and then let my foot off the gas there's a pop sort of noise but I'm pretty sure it's not a back fire sort of pop. My dad thinks it could be because I did ball an socket joint at the cat up too...

Ive just ordered my janspeed cat bak system from ktec and have been reading alot of threads on here about going about lowering the rear beam to get the old system off. is this because the backboxes are welded onto the center section? ive just had a look under my car and can only assume its...

On this site there are 2 radiators which say theyl do a clio 2.0. Mine is a 182 with air con but both those radiators say they do one with air con. I rang them up and they wernt too sure so thought id ask you lot first before i order it...

Well the car went for its mot with the coolant at the full mark like it has been for the past month with no leaks. Got it home to find that the coolant is now slowly dripping from what i can see seems to be the t junction at the bottom hose which comes out of the radiator. The bottle was...

Mot tester man says that the cat was just doing nothing. Ive had a look under the car and the cat looks faily new. Car is running fine, so i dont think the lambda before cat is failing. The emmissions light came on a few week ago but turned it off and it never came back on. All i can think...

Well got my 182 and love it but it does drink its fair share of petrol. How do you guys drive to get best mpg? On motorways if i set cc to about 60 i can get almost 40mpg but as soon as i get on the streets its really low. When is the best speed to go into 5th as somebody told me changing...

Got my mot coming up and the rear disks and pads are about dead. SO i went down to bullseye and got some apex one, however they havent got the bearing in the disks like the oe ones come with. Is it going to be a pain to get the bearing out of the old disk into the new ones?

I was replacing my inlet gasket this morning and when screwing the plenum back down 1 of the bolts to the left of the coil pack managed to strip and now its not gripping it just turns inside, i can get it out but obviously the bolt is doing nothing weather its in or out now. Im guessing the...

Just noticed this today, not sure if i nocked something or what when changing my plugs and oil but now when i start the engine the cooling fan spins up when i start the engine even if the engine has been sat for a few hours?

Not sure what it is but now there's a very faint whistling sound when revving the engine. All I can think is it might be the inlet manifold leaking as I didn't change the gasget? Any ideas?

Does anybody bother with the plastic cover under the engine? I took mine off today to change the oil and saw its also got a giant sponge like thing over it aswel. Is it ok to just put the plastic back on without the sponge thing as mines ripped

Looking for get a new cat back system for my 182. I want one thats loud when booting it but not annoyingly loud at low speeds so not sure whatl be the best for me. Also are there any guys on here that supply and fit them for good prices? Ive just been quoted just over 500 for a cat back...

Been to get all the materials today for my service and no shops had a sump plug washer in, does it need changing everytime or should i just do it and nip it up very tight?

As title really, what's the best way of going about it? From underneath or above? I just can't get my hand to it lol. Also, quick question about how hot it should be running ? I've noticed that even after almost 2 hours after drivin the engine is still hot, the plenum stays really hot.

Just got my clio 182 and been reading about some horror stories on here about how it cn slip etc if not done properly. The reciept ive got says it was done at 62k, its now on 68k. Timing belt kit - 142 alternator belt kit - 116 (im assuming this is the aux belt people talk about then just...

Had my 182 a few weeks now and the cruise control switch seems a bit dodgy. Sometimes when i try to click it up to go onto cruise control it will just go back to the middle and the green light will go straight off. other times it will work fine. Exact same issue when clicking it down for the...
