Clio 182, drove over a stick this morning which has obviously flipped up under the car and caught a sensor. The car now looses power for 10 secs or so then is back to normal for the rest of the journey. The codes suggest precat but I think it's more likely the post cat cable has been caught...

Bit of a strange one this. The tyres on the driver side of the car steadily loose pressure over 2-3 months but the passenger side don't. I have swapped the wheels over and the same thing happens it's really odd.

Hi Bit of a strange one sounds like I've got a leak in my exhaust until the car reaches temp then it goes away. Sometime also a smell of smoke through the heater. I have sleeved my cat and replaced the gasket. (plus sealant) but still not gone away. Any ideas I'm somewhat at a loss?

Quick one , where the cat fixes to the manifold is it surposed to only be a semi circle fitting on the cat side or has it rotted off?

As titled really, I'v been trawling ebay to no avail.

Right today I saw a Black v6 in llanberis, Silver 182, Artic 182 on the A55 and a Monaco in Rosset near Chester. First time I'v seen a v6 it looked great. :)

Removed the old ones today and the arb really got in the way, is it posssible to swing it down out of the way without the hassle of messing with the inner bushes. I'm replacing the whole wishbone. Cheers.

Hey, Just cleaned the ol car and noticed quite abit of fly dirt has marked the clear coat abit like bird poo. I assume the only way to remove it is to polish it out? I don't have a polisher nor the time to do it myself how much am I looking to pay for someone to polish and tough coat the car? A

Not sure what there proper name is but anyone got any recommendations for something to hold and rotate the engine while it's out the car?

Slowly turning my 182 into a comfy track car first upgrade being 197/225 Brembo brake upgrade. Currently got these sat behind standard alloys on a 20mm spacer. I'd like to fit 15s but I'm not keen on getting any bigger spacers, otherwise will have to be lightweight 16s. Anyone tried 15s...

My bonnets abit of a mess covered in stone chips, strangely the bumpers not too bad. Anyone got any recommendations for resprays in the NW Chester area. A

Followed this out of rhyl in a BMW 5 series estate the other day, looked good apart from the exhaust.

Basically my garage used to be a bungalow that we converted so it has a ramp about the height of a speed bumb to get in and out am I going to have issues? Annoy one nearby fancy trying it out ? :rasp: Will grab arb a pic later.

Hi Just swapping over the spark plugs and there's oil in the right two spark plugs. The right most has a little in but the middle right has quite abit can't work out where its coming from as the inlets pretty clean and there none in the dips in the top of the engine. Cars been running ok up...

When going over bumps (potholes) cars making a sound like sheet metal flapping in the wind. I thought it was probably the heat shielding but that's all pinned on securely. Any ideas what else it might be.

Saw a couple today: Blue artic coming out of Malpas, Black 197 flew past on way to Chester Brother apparently saw a white clio on the way to Wrexham industrial estate too.

Seen this a couple of times at broughton Heath park n ride, 05 plate with white turinis

Swear there was a thread but can't find it, links to or pictures of clips on 20mm spacers please. :) Any issue using them etc? gonna be a track car eventually so concerned about reliability, performance over looks.

Drove behind the other day up to the broxton roundabout.

Hey So I was chatting to dad the other day about the 406 we had, anyway long story short he crashed it but kept the engine and brakes for a track car which never happened, so I have got a set of 406 Brembos for free! Anyway's I'm after advice on what extra bits I need any recommendation for...

Pretty much all the screws that hold the front bumper on are missing or corroded and the plastic clips under the bonnet are too. Anyone know where I can get some more? Screws not so much so but the plastic peg things.

Drove past me walking to work at 10:30ish near Boughton shopping place that was.

As titled really looking to improve the look of my engine cover so doesn't need to be an exact match but very close. Any recommendation from those who have done this previously? A

Hey My cars gonna need new front tyres soon, currently Ps3s all round but been quoted £260 for two at my local garage so might have to change to hankook v12s. Can anyone recommend where they get there tyres from/fitted in the northwest at a reasonable price? Also are the ps3s worth the extra...

Figured since I started fixing/changing some things on the 182 I would keep a record for future reference. After repairing some bonnet chips I gave the car a full detail ready for winter annoyingly it started to rain so couldn't get any good photos.

Planning on painting the front fog surrounds, mirror surrounds and the rear bumper strip gloss black and the grills satin because it looks better and is easier to maintain. No more dull plastics or white smears. Looked through a few guide but they all differ slightly so anyone got a guide they...

Hi I'm trying to get the old exhaust mounts off my car, bolts came out fine but there's a metal bush that the rubber seems to be stuck to and It won't budge any advice? A

Hi I realise I am asking a q's that been asked thousands of times, the search brought up horror story's of spark plugs flying out engines etc. I thought I best check as I don't want to ruin my new 182 but is 95 octane rated fuel ok for the daily drive? (Texaco Premium Unleaded) As the garage...
