Exhaust For the 182, is the back twin exhaust compatible with the existing DCI setup? Would it be just a case of disconnecting the rear back piece and attaching the twin pipes (building a 182 rep)? Gearbox My current de-acceleration isn't very smooth when lifting foot off the accelerator. It's...

I'm making my DCI into a bit of the rep of the 182. Unfortunately, I had a minor collision a few days ago and my front bumper needs replacing, and I thought this would be a good opportunity to get it replaced for a 182 one. I suspect the 182 fits the DCI variant (front and back bumpers), but...

Hi all, I've got myself a set of 182 Sport xenons with ballasts and ignitors included, I haven't actually seen the product as I got it shipped to another address. Question is, are these basically plug and play after removing my old headlights, or so I need any other kit to make them legal/work...

I bought my car about 6 months ago (see username) with no details of any cambelt change. I suspect it had already been done for its 80K or so miles as it was an ex-fleet car. I feel that I should go ahead and do a belt change on the car, just to be on the safe side as you don't really know...

Somehow I have managed to damage one of my front driver side alloys. So I need to replace them. I'm looking to replacement with a darker variation of the 182 alloys. As I'll be mostly likely getting them without the tyres, what's the best size tyres to get with the alloys that are compatible...

I was recently getting my rod ends changed. When the car went on the ramp I noticed this patch of fluid, which I assumed was some kind of oil. I'm not sure if anything is leaking. See images.

I"m trying to create a inbuilt USB charger with a cable so I can plug anything on the end, but the key point here is that whatever is plugged in contines to charge even when the engine is off. I thought about fixed a micro USB permenantly, but if I decide to get an iPhone I'll have to refit a...

I'm considering an arm rest because I do a lot of long distance journeys, it'd really take the comfort to another level. I found this one on eBay which I think is the one most people might have seen when considering an armrest...

This might not be serious, but I thought I could ask just in case. This evening I went o take my car out for a drive, I started it and opened the bonnet to check the water levels. I notices a white smoke, probably steam coming from the rear of the engine, when I lifted up the cover there was...

Hi All, I have a 1.5DCI '53. On the Kwik Fit website it shows me that I have two options: Front and rear : 165/65T14 Front and rear : 185/55H15 I'm guessing that at the moment, I have the 165 for both front and rear. But is it possible to fit the 185 reliably which I'm assuming are bigger? I...

I have a DCI 1.5 and looking to do an oil change. It will be first time on this car since ownership? What type of oil is required, and what brands are recommended? Thanks

My plastic dipsick has warped, so as I was cleaning off the oil the thing snapped in 3 pieces! All I have to cover the tube is the ring end - will this be ok to cover the hole while I use the car? Can anyone confirm the length of the original dipstick on a 1.5DCI '53?

I topped up about 3 months ago or so with some antifreeze, and looking under the bonnet again, it was just at the minimum level. I added a bit more. I remember 3 months ago when i topped it up it was also low, around middway. Is it normal to top it up so often? What sort of symptoms would i...

This is a new symptom I've only discovered today. It's obvious when I turn the steering to make turns etc, not so audible when making minor steering movements though. I also hear a knock when gently mounting a kerb to park up. There aren't any problems in actually driving the car, but I'd like...

I've seen that an adapter exists for the 2005 model and above, but is there a way to install an aux cable into the factory radio for a 2003 DCI 80 model? I'm not keen on changing the radio and would prefer to the keep it stock. The CD player doesn't get used to perhaps there is way to add on...

Everytime I press the breaks the rear fog light comes on, but faintly. The same occurs when I indicate both ways - the rear fog light also flashes to the indicator light next to the clocks. I don't imagine it's anything major, but if I could fix it I'd prefer to. The rear fog light itself...

I thought I'd just ask here preliminary before jacking up the car to have a look myself. I have noticed an oil leak about the size of a £20 note folded in half. It's coming from the left hand-side if you were to stand in front of it looking towards the car. I'm not sure how long it's been there...

This morning, thanks to the rain, I discovered that something somewhere is leaking, probably the sunroof. There are patches of water on the drivers side headlining, to the right above the door, and just before the sun-visor. I have linked to images. I had this same problem with my Pug 106 - the...

Hi all, I recently bought a Clio 1.5dci (80bhp) 2003 model. It has just been serviced about a thousand miles ago which I think is the basic oil change oil. The problem is that I've noticed a humming/revolving sound which is mostly audible over 40mph, or slowing down. Initially I thought it...
