Ya I bled all four corners... actually let run for a while until I could see the new fluid coming out... I'm guessing [hoping] that air's lodged in the ABS pump (!)

I'd feel more comfortable using a scanner to activate the ABS than have it running on axle stands o_O When you get the wrong side of 50 [like me] the mad stuff I used to do as a kid seems less appealling for some reason or other. Does anyone know if the Snap On will activate the ABS ? The...

@JamesBryan I can't rule out air getting into the pump as the rear brake line running across the beam split and quite a bit of fluid leaked from it. I did exactly as you said with the pressure bleeder but unfortunately I've ended up with a very soft pedal :( I can only assume air has gotten...

@SteveC_1879 Thanks for this. I think that's what it is. I've tried locking the wheels up several times on the test drive but don't I need to activate the pump while I'm bleeding the system ? I vaguely remember doing something like this on my E46 years ago when I bled the system but the Snap...

Thanks for this. So they bled it old-skool without a pressure bleeder ?

I've replaced the rear brake lines on my 182, bled the system with an air pump bleeder. I let fluid through until I had no air bubbles appearing at the caliper bleed nipples and clean fluid coming through. Buttoned everything up and took it for a test drive. The pedal is dangerously soft...

Thanks for this - kinda hoping I could do it without having to open the box :(

I've an oil leak from the selector shaft seal on the gearbox of my 182. I believe the part number is 8201048885 which I've ordered. I just wondered if anyone's had to replace their's and could give me any hints/tips ? Hope it's not a box out job ? Huge thanks in advance.

I've a 2003 E46 325i MSport as well, that's also listed as compliant too. It must be a parameter that's within Euro 4 that's enabling it to be compliant, possibly the NOX as that's one of the main things that will affect air quality... which is what this whole ULEZ thing is about, 'apparently' !

Has anyone regularly gone in/out of the ULEZ are since September 2022 as I believe that's when it was changed to Euro 4 for petrol cars ?

Somebody on another forum said this "They may have just not updated it. My Cerbera showed up as compliant for about a month, now it doesn’t". Like your 182, mine has been coming up as compliant since the beginning but I believe there was a change to Euro 4 for petrol cars made in September...

Now that is very worrying.

The ULEZ zone is being extended to the M25 orbital in August 2023 and is set to affect a huge number of motorists. I have a specific question about 182 compliance. Driving in the ULEZ zone is chargeable for any petrol engined vehicle that's not Euro 4 or later. The 182 is Euro 3. However if...

Guys, I really appreciate all the suggestions - thank you so much.

I used to race karts and cars going back almost 40 years now... so have never compromised on tyres myself. Personal experience/recommendations are far more useful than magazine reviews - hence the reason I posted here. Really appreciate what you've said here.

Guys thanks so much for everything here, I really appreciate it. I agree, road tyres are subjective alright. There's price, durability and adhesion to weigh up. I've never used Avons on the road before... but I would be willing to give them a go.

I've a set of Michelin Pilot Sport 3s fitted to my 182. They're great and I would like to replace them with either Pilot Sport 3 or 4 but can't seem to find availability anywhere. So my first question is, have they discontinued them in 205/45/16 form ? My second question is, what would you...

I'm in a similar situation to the above. Everything except for the plastic lenses is fine... but I guess they're a sealed unit ? Is it not possible to buy something like the link below and take the xenon bulbs etc... from my existing unit and swap over ? I know the balasts etc... are located...

Original from the factory. The car is pretty low mileage.

@Louis The injectors had checked out fine... all resistance measurements were good.

It was the injectors. I replaced all 4 with brand new and never had a problem again. BTW the injectors looked absolutely fine, sounded fine [click test] and hadn't thrown any ECU errors. As I couldn't diagnose which of the four had failed [without burning up more O2 sensors], I replaced all...

I have Torque Pro and it's excellent for what it does... however it only reads ECU data. I've four cars in total - my 182, an E46, a Golf V TSi and a Ford Focus Mk2. I would be really interested in getting another app that could read more than just ECU data - i.e. body, brakes...

Well having measured the centre-to-centre between the lower shock bolts, it is 60mm so I do have a cup-pack after all :)

Thank you so much for this guys, really appreciate this. I'm going to measure up the distance between the strut bolts today to confirm whether I do actually have Cup suspension or not. I believe it's 60mm for a Cup strut, does anyone know what it is it for a standard one ? @NBG182 Yes I...

I've a 2005 182 with [supposedly] the cup pack, but I've not measured up yet. I was considering fitting lowering springs as I've never liked the ride height of the Clio. I've a few questions : o Is there a difference between stock non cup-pack and cup-pack springs ? o Are coilovers worth...

I've a really silly question that hopefully somebody may be able to help with. I took the engine out of the car around a year ago to do the belts, clutch and a whole heap of other things. I had the front off the car, including the bumper. It's taken me this long to realize my front fog...

That looks fine... and it's only 15Kg, right ?

Think I'm gonna go for the £50.00 Halfords 2 tonne... for now at least and see how I get on.

Great vid ! Hopefully with my written procedure and your vid... anyone who encounters this problem in future will have some good stuff to get started with :)

This is purely for my own interest rather than solving a problem I have. Like a lot of us on here my Clio 182 is old and has relatively limited recording facilities on its ECU... compared to a modern vehicle. Having watched a crash repair of 70 reg Range Rover on youTube [where all the air...
