That's a nice setup you have there! Very blue :) Do you have a link to the oil cooler kit you are using? So you would recommend a catcher tank but make sure there is enough for the pressure to escape! Was it expensive to repair your crank seals ? Thanks

I'm trying to decide on a non turbo car so would be slightly different. That is the only issue with it spraying oil mist into the engine bay!

Thanks mate much appreciated. Was thinking about oil coolers as they are a reasonable price. As for thermo plates, they seem the more logical idea. Heard alot of people say it takes the oil longer to warm up from cold what causes a lot of initial wear on the engine? I see you point about just...

Just basically after everyone opinion on the matter! Been looking at some oil cooler system and considering it. I wanted to know if anyone could recommend anything like brands, specific kits or separate parts, same goes for oil catch tanks. Secondly if anyone has pictures of there setup using...

Dont condescend!

Ok I see what you mean :) you said about getting one of them RS tuners, do you think they actually all that great I have heard mixed reviews on them?

So what your saying is using a premium fuel gives bhp by compensating the bhp lost due to the engines age! If you catch my drift?

I get what your saying :) VPower it is then and oh yh I doing the sensor tomorrow!

Yeah I hear a lot about the supermarket stuff not being that great! It has been serviced changed plugs, oil/filter, air filter about 7 months ago and changed the plugs again about 1 month ago :)

I knew it didn't give it any real world power just always seemed to run nicer :) yh considered that V Power, so is that what you would say is better? If V Power gives me better mpg then I up for that :) considering my 1.2 getting about 30mpg the transition to a 182 would be unnoticeable! But it...

So how much does it cost you to fill up your Clio 1.2 and how much you pay a litre? I always use momentum, don't know why I think it has the placebo effect and makes the car feel faster :)

That is what i was thinking :) I only get 250 miles for £50 because i have faulty lambda sensor and it a 1.2 so you have to redline it to get some decent speed :)

Thanks for sharing that :)

Im 21 with 1 years NCB and insurance on a 182 for me is £700 fully comp what i thought considering everything thats a bargain for me :)

Oh right so if i really wanted a set it would be a case of sell the Turinis and buy a set of cup Turinis? 2 wheels that look exactly the same just larger hub sizes :( Why is nothing ever so simple

I have a set of 16" Anthracite Speedline Turini's with standard centre caps. I have seen wheels very similar to mine with Renault diamond centres. I know the clio cups come with there own 15" wheels that look very similar. Anyone know if they do them for Speedline's and if they do how i can get...

Just all the panel clips and stuff like that. Well i know its got a fault lambda sensor so that don't help at all. Put about £50 in and it gets me about 250 miles so not great :( Yh just down the road :)

Work in a retail store in Cirencester. My boss got it brand new off the forecourt. He had a Subaru before so he didnt want to loose any power so got a Clio 182. By the sounds of it he deeply regretted it (30 mpg :( lol ). now getting something a bit slower and better mpg by the sounds of it.

Thanks buddy I hope so to! People need to Learn to park and stop hitting my car :(

Yeah I know what you mean, price can vary from place to place! I just was seeing about a rough estimate. I was willing to except the fact there could be completely wrong due to the description being so vague. Just didn't wanna go in thinking it be like £50 to find out its £300 or vice versa. :)

I not to bothered if they can't remove the crease. My main concern is just the large dent where the metal pushed in, but I suppose they could fix that with a hammer. :)

Thinking of purchasing a Clio 182 through work (Ex company car). The car had fairly large dent on the rear drivers side quarter. The majority of the damage is just the metal pushed in but there is a slight crease in the metal. The car is black so it not overly obvious it's there but I know it's...

*Balance :)

Yh it's abit stupid when I have to pay nearly double the cost of the car on just insurance. Just if you crash don't hit anyone then you are ok. :) only had couple minor issues with my clio, my main problem is with all the little plastic clips that breaks just by touching then. Do the clio...

Yh i looked at getting it mapped and doing a couple of mods. I Agree with you about the insurance i just had a look and Elephant and Admiral Fully comp is about £800 with about £250! Like i always say insurance is only a problem if you crash :) But as far as the 182 go what are they like to live...

Yh i know they pretty awesome. Got a standard 1.2 16v atm and being small and light it fairly easy to throw it about a bit, so with a 2L lump in it its going to be a whole new world of fun. As stated before i would probably get it SORN it for a couple months whilst i fix it up a little. Being 21...

No cat damage only due to person reversing out a bay and clipping it with the front end. As i said due to it being a company car its all fully serviced minus the cam belt. As far as the steering wheel is concerned i just planned on getting a OMP wheel and boss kit and fitting that. Another plus...

Also it is the full fat version with both cup packs. My goal is to try and get it for sub £2000 then once cam belt done (£500) just have to try sorting the dent. Might just sorn it and turn it into a project till the summer :)

Same as Dan@M.A.D, i also found a tampon! Still in its wrapper of course. Among other shrapnel i found lots of coins i.e 1p 2p 5p! Nothing that will make me rich.

Been offered a Renault Clio 182 sport on an 05 plate from work (Ex company car). The car has done 46k miles and is 7/8 years old. The car as it is is in good condition, only got a couple of age related marks. Only issues regarding appearance is that the steering wheel thumb grips have perished...
