Is it best practice to replace all brake pads at the same time, regardless of wear? Or can I put new rears in and leave the fronts until they are worn? Also, if I'm fitting new rear discs (just OEM ones), should I also considering replacing front discs as well? (with the Brembo £45 ones, and...

Hi all, I have a 182 on OE shocks (original as far as I know, car on 61k miles), and Eibach Sportline springs. I've noticed over the past 2-3 months that the car is feeling very bumpy. Going over small bumps in the road it really feels like the car is taking a battering. I'm assuming the...

Hi all, My exhaust is blowing slightly (I think) and I want to fix it. I recently resealed (and put a new clamp) on the cat-cat back join, and I also recently fitted a new gasket/bolts to the manifold-cat join. However I did not use sealant on the manifold-cat bit. 1. Should I have...

Hi all, My heater fans will not turn off at all no matter what I do. It's the windscreen ones which are stuck on and I can still control everything, including temperature fine. I just can't turn the damn thing off. I've done some searching and see that this could be a problem with the heater...

Looked.....greeeeaaaaat. :dead:

Hello, I understand that the P21/5W (380) bulb on a Mk2 Ph2 Clio is a single bulb which acts as the tail light, and gets brighter when you brake. Mine works fine as a tail light, but when I brake it doesn't get brighter to indicate braking. This is on the driver side. The passenger side and...

I received my lovely arctic blue cup spoiler today. Having read numerous threads about it taking 10 mins to fit I set to work on fitting it even though it was getting dark out. 2 hours later, and the bloody thing is finally attached to my car. However, not only does it sit badly (massive gap...

Nothing special in the way of mods or anything but thought I would share. It's standard apart from the Milltek and the Sportlines.....oh and the new RS badge. I gave it a clean today though so thought I would get some snaps. I snow foamed it, washed it, and then used some AG Aqua Wax which I...

This is so random! I was just on Facebook having a browse (as you do), and I saw a status update from someone I went to school with, which I saw someone called Megan had commented on. I recognised the surname as I went to school with a girl who had the same surname, it then occurred to me that...

Does anyone have a guide to fitting standard engine mounts to a Clio 182? Also, if there is one for fitting a Powerflex Twisted Dogbone mount as well that would be great, including what tools are needed :) Or is this something I should have done by a garage? (if so, how long should fitting all...

Very quick background info, changed the RS badge on my 182 to the new 197 style and in the process caused 3 burn marks on the boot lid, very small, but they annoyed me. I managed to get them off by VERY lighting sanding the affected area with wet & dry fine sandpaper (don't shoot me if this was...

Hello, I've had this rattle for months now and I am losing patience. Symptoms: - Rattle which sounds like a bolt in a tin cat being spun around - Comes from underneath the gear lever area, so is definitely around the front end somewhere - Only occurs under acceleration - Doesn't occur when...

Hello, How long should it take a mechanic to fit one of these - http://www.northwestperformance.co.uk/product_info.php?cPath=6_7_86_19&products_id=20&osCsid=im63lfilphmlmka0gtfck456d6 ? I would do it myself but I know I'll screw it up, plus I hate jacking cars up for fear of breaking...

Lovely looking motor on the roundabout up by Blockbusters in Tunbridge Wells this morning at about 8.30am. I don't know how to put this nicely, but the lady looked middle aged. I was in the Arctic 182 to your left, although I doubt you're on here. EDIT: Actually it might be an R27, I don't...

Hello. I finally had a new exhaust fitted to my 182. The standard exhaust was completely screwed and there was a horrible rattle under acceleration, as well as a nasty metallic resonance when dropping back down through the revs. It made the car feel slow because I didn't push it too much for...

I didn't quite know how else to word that. I was jacking my car up, and the crappy Renault jack gave way because the jacking point bent underneath the car. As this happened it pushed the side skirt (at the front of the car) out. It isn't damaged, but it is now not sitting properly. I was...

Hi all, I'm contemplating removing my window tints which were on the car when I got it (as I hate the 'image' they carry with them, I'm 25, not 17). However I have realised that the spoiler needs to come off the back in order to remove the rear tint. How do I do this? Also, the tints I...

Hello, I have standard 182 cup alloys on my 182. However one of them is not the same colour as the other three, it is a bit yellowy, not sure how else to explain it. I would like to get it refurb/resprayed so that it matches the other 3. I have a few questions though: 1 - Can anyone...

Hello, I've ordered a 3/4 plate for my 182 so I checked my existing plate to make sure it was simply screwed in, but it's not. It seems to be stuck on VERY well. I yanked at it quite hard but it wouldn't budge. I could give it a little more, but I'm worried about causing serious damage to...

I took a trip up to see Scott (Phase1sr) today as he kindly offered to help me out getting the Sportlines on my 182, which had been sitting in my boot for around 4 weeks! I'm really happy with the drop they have provided, exactly what I was after. I didn't want it 'slammed', I just wanted the...

As title really, you drove past me as I was walking from my Arctic Blue 182 :) I don't suppose you know how to fit lowering springs do you? ;)

I spotted you last Monday and we exchanged waves. Then last night after coming back to my car having been in The Barn you were parked in front of me :) They both looked great parked up together :D

Hi all, I swear all I do on these forums is post problems. I have a very bad feeling this noise could be bad, knowing my luck it will be. It sounds like it is coming from the engine, in fact I'm certain it is. I can hear it when driving in the car, and when sitting idle it is tapping...

Hi all, As you can see, the door was opened and caught a wall taking the top layer of paint off. Even when the door is closed it is quite obvious. I'm not after a miracle fix, I just want something to make the 'silvery-ness' of it disappear. I'm thinking I could just get some hammerite...

I only seem to get this in 3rd or 4th when accelerating. It doesn't make the noise whilst stationary and it only seems to be audible when the windows are closed. It isn't the ECU bracket as that is secure. I've banged on the centre section and cat and can't hear any obvious rattles in there...

Hi all, Where can I buy the plastic surround that fills in the gaps around an aftermarket head unit? I've just bought an Alpine X305. I want to get everything I need ready for when it arrives. Thanks :)

Hi all, As subject really. I searched but couldn't find out how. Do I need any tools? Thanks

Driving through Hawkenbury, I was in the Arctic 182 :) Your car looked awesome. First time I've seen a 200, they look much better in the flesh.

Having done some searching it seems that the annoying buzz/rattle coming from my car at around 3k revs could be caused by a broken ECU bracket. However I have no idea where this is or what it looks like. Any help is appreciated. Cheers

Hi all, following on from this thread - http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=509870&page=2 I need a new engine for my 182, which I have owned for a grand total of 5 weeks. If I was to source a new engine, are there any individuals out there who would be able to fit it for me...
