My lad's clio 1.2 2002 is due an mot, and it turns out the air bag light has been on for a couple of weeks! I have a cd with electrical diagrams and ordered a diag scanner through ebay, but the seller is messing me around, so attacked the plug for the airbag ecu with a muilti meter and the...

I took the tint off the rear screen the other day as it's been bugging me for ages. It came off with the help of a hair dryer leaving hardly any glue, but it's taken the demister conductive strips with it (didn't realise until I used it). Anybody used a repair kit?? Wondered whether you can...

The MOT's due on my lad's Clio, it's a 2002 16v extreme. Amongst other things, it needs a front wheel bearing and a track rod end. Question is, what size are the front wheel bearings? There seems to be 2 widths, 35 and 37mm. Also, are the track rod ends handed?? Cheers, Ian.

Can anyone recommend a diagnostic tool for me to buy (or borrow) to fault find a couple of problems i have? My lads 2002 1.2 Clio has an airbag fault, the wiring mods have already been done, so i'm stuck as to where to look next-the sunroof leaks and the floor is wet, and the mot is due in a...

My heater stopped working Suday, so fitted a new mosfet transistor which lasted a couple of minutes. Replaced it again (i'd bought 2) and it lasted 30 seconds :( It may have been my soldering, faulty mosfets or something else... Can anyone have a look at a wiring diagram for a 182 clio with...

I have a leak from my washer fluid bottle somewhere. It loses about 100ml a day. Unfortunately, as it's so damp, I can't pressurise the bottle to see where it's leaking from. I've had the bottle out (what a PITA) and it looks dry. Any common areas where they leak? Ian.

Had the 182 MOT'd last week and the guy remarked that my top mounts would need replacing soon. He showed me some up and down movement at the top of the strut while the wheels were off the ground. So, bought some new top mounts, removed the strut and the old mounts looked new, even when compared...

My 182 passed the MOT today :-) The MOT guy just commented that my exhaust heatshield was coming loose and my nearside top mount will need looking at soon. So, I have a non cup 182, do I need spring compressors to change the top mount? Sure I read it wasn't needed on this model. Cheers, Ian.

Bought a pair of inner tie rods from ECP, bought lemforder part number 600745365 correct part for an SMI rack on a non cup 182, 2005. Put the car on stands, removed the old rods, fitted the new, put the track rod ens on 20 turns to get a similar steering toe in, checked the measurement from...

Hi! The V6 TT has gone :( , the wife has bought an albi 197 :S and I have hwer old 182 :approve: . Are there any more days at Curborough planned in the next few months?? Ian.

My 182 is due for an MOT in a month, so I thought I'd have a check as it was my wife's old car! Found leaky rear shock and play in the off side wheel bearing, no problem, new genuine parts ordered for both sides £200 inc new hub nuts! Checked the front and there is a tiny bit of play both...

The wife's now got a 58 plate 197 in Albi blue, but it failed the MOT on the bottom swivel. It's a Renault only part (looks like it's made by Brembo) and is £200 per side, so I ordered one from my local dealer and was told it's out of stock, but will be in within 10 working days. Chased today...

Hi, I'm after some 197 sport torque settings if anybody can help?? Removed my stub axles today, ordered replacements from renault, one will be here friday, the other up to 15 working days!! Anyway, I need the settings for a 197; 4 star head scres that hold the wheel bearing to the stub...

What's the quality of the paint like on your Clio?? Just bought the wife a 197, I know the front bumper has been sprayed (albi blue) but looked over the rest of the car and the paint quality is c**p and there's no way the whole car has been sprayed. Our 182 is a little better, but my TT is...

The wife's 197 has just failed the MOT on worn bottom ball joints. Spoke to Renault, and they want £750. :( Can't get a quote from Ktec until Monday and they're 160 miles away. ANy ideas?? Anyone else had to get these done?? Are these doable at home? Cheers, Ian.

Apologies if this is posted in the wrong place! I've looked on this forum and on the internet without success, is there an owners manual for the clio sport? I have a 182, and looked in the book that came with the car for tyre pressures, but the sport isn't listed?? Ian.

I've had a search, but can't find a definitive answer to this. I have a Skorpion twin back box on my 182 and the rear rubber X type mountings are shot, the last owner used a socket and cable ties to centralise the pipe hanger in the mounting, but it's virtually metal on metal, sits too low and...

Silly question, but hopefully easy answered. Should the speed limiter switch stay down the same as the cruise control? My RS200 did, but the 182 I have now flicks back to the middle off position. It all works correctly if I hold the button down. Cheers, Ian.

I took my 182 for an MOT today (failed on number plate lamp and windscrenwashers not working :banghead: luckily, it's a friends garage and I sorted it whilst I was there) and found an oil leak. I took the undertray off and wiped the are down, but can't see where the leak is coming from! It's not...
