The 182 is back on the road. New engine fitted with all belts and dephaser fitted, new ball joints, new battery, basically its had £1700 thrown at it. Going to run the engine in for a 1000 odd miles but it feels so good to have the 182 back after so long. I'll get some pics up at the weekend...
Peeps - what do I do ??
1. i knackered the first engine!!
2. My mechanic mate then helped me and fitted another engine + belts etc etc (cost me in total about £1500). Then that engine goes as my mate did't use the right tool to tighten the cambelt. Thanks (never do business with a mate).
3. I...
Managed to get a drive in a V6 today and it's confirmed to me that I need that car next. Was amazing, the sound, the smell, the sense of occasion. What a motor and I take my hats off to Renault for making it happen. I'm saving for one now and keeping the 182 for the missus. Managed to have a...
I finally purchased some silvervisions from ktec for front on the 182. One question they seem to be like a bronze colour, is this normal?
Sorry for pointless thread
I'm getting it back next weekend with a new engine fitted after my mechanic didn't use the right tool to tighten the belt with last time. Had a new clutch, dephaser, cambelt etc etc etc fitted. Also ordered a filter from Ktec with some Silversilvisons. Next weekend she is having the clean of her...
Right basically long story short
I was a tool and didn't put oil in the car
Replacement engine fitted, with clutch, water pump and cam belt
Few weeks later engine wasn't sounding great as dephaser was knackered, one day driving on the bypass the engine decided to stop completely. My first...
My missus was talking last night to me and saying basically should I really be driving about in a Clio 182 at 30 - isn't it a bit strange?? After I spat my tea out my mouth it got me thinking..... has she got a point ?? and then I came back round to thinking she can sod off as I love driving it...
Got the 182 being picked up on Monday to go get fixed by ren7oaks in Kemsing (Kent). Hopefully they'll be able to find why it won't start and what made the engine just stop randomly. Been with it now for a month and it's driving me crazy. I really miss driving it and after 4 years that just...
where would be the best place to source one ?? My car is going in soon for the engine to be stripped but am thinking I might bosh a new engine in so I have peace of mind. I'm never selling the 182 now I've decided :)
My 182 is going into get fixed in two weeks - long story involving a new engine being added without the dephaser being changed :(
quick question though - can the dephaser pulley fail as I think it has on my and if so what could of happened to the engine?
cheers
Basically a few weeks back I managed to knackered my engine on the 182 - my fault and regret not checking oil etc etc. Got another engine off pistonheads for £450 cash (apparently a 40K one? who knows), then car went off to one of my mates who in fact worked at the renault garage I got the car...
Basically had another engine put in my 182 recently as I was a fool and didn't check the oil. The 40,000 mile replacement engine was fitted but soon realised that the ticking noise was the dephazer pulley messing about. I drove it for a couple of weeks with the annoying noise but then the other...
Drove to the folks place to give the 182 a well needed bath. Sorry for crap pics
I need to sort some paint work issues out next, followed by wheel change. Then a slight drop :)
Took the 182 for its MOT yesterday, it passed with only a couple of things needed. Have recently got my 182 back from my mechanic who has added a new engine, clutch and cam belt and water pump. Took it drive yesterday to meet my mate who has recently got a williams. The 182 might need to go back...
Hi all, been away for a bit and had a mare with the 182, basically I ignored the oil warning light like a **b :dapprove: and yes you guessed it the engine was completely knackered. Have now sourced a new engine to go in and car is at the garage now having a new belt added and miltek, filter and...
Today after giving her a good old clean (megs gold class stuff is amazing by the way) i was driving along the road thinking I love this car the same as when I got it three and a half years ago. It just brings a smile to my face and to think i was going to sell.
The downside is I need to sort...
i've decided to keep the 182, had so many people want to swap etc etc but no actual cash buyers - i've decided I love the car and i'm going to go down exhaust, filter and remap route. I'm even going to get a bloody splitter :)
one very quick question - what exhaust ?? miltek ?
:)
Well after almost 4 years and zero problems, me and the 182 are parting company on saturday. Need to clear some debt and this will help.
If anyone is thinking of buying a 182, all i can say is please please do it!!! have loved ownership and its always brought a smile to my face much like the...
My 182 has just started making a creaking noise from the steering rack !!!
any suggestions ???
just had to drive into work in london and just noticed it :(
1. I went in a 197 cup on saturday and I must admit there brilliant. Felt so planted and went very well, was very very impressed. I love Nimbus :)
2. I stopped at the renault garage last night and spotted a 200 parked up. It was in a bright blue colour and I must say - I love it, and I even...
I'm hoping to do a deal soon on a Williams 2 plus some moola for mine :)
Going to try sort this week but can't wait. Driven a Williams before and loved it. Luckily I only really drive at the weekend so the Williams will be a weekend toy.
It completely standard and will be staying like...
