There seems to be plenty of people wanting to have a go so you would probably be able to move them on afterwards getting you a few quid back. It is however a job that needs to be done properly first time so even if you get the tools you need to follow the procedure with care and make sure you...

I might be wrong but i thought the standard 182 was already a 200 cell sports cat that uses a metallic substrate? I can understand getting to an aftermarket sports cat if it's cheaper than the renault one but not if the renault one was fine. Don't want to upset anyone just wanted to check if...

Yep your right there. I've had the oil can light come on for 4 reasons. 1) faulty switch or wire 2) oil low enough that pick up pipe is not picking enough up 3) round a long corner at a track ( not good ) causing number 2 (not in clio) 4) oil pump has commited suicide I think that his sounds...

Probably a repeat of what someone has already said as my computer doesn't seem to display all the posts. If it's the level check warning then top it up (usually a litre or so) and check your oil more regularly. The oil pressure light which you do want to worry about if it's on with the car...

2000 0.8 Daewoo matiz se+. It was my dads he bought it to go to work as he had a longer commute in a new job. He ticked every extra for a laugh. It even had a fire extinguisher in the passenger footwell. Probably a good thing after autocar gave it 0 stars for stability issues. I never had a...

Thanks for the replies! I think i'll have a good look underneath and around the wheel arch area with the wheel on full lock to make sure all is ok and then investigate the washer fix.

Ok thanks will check that.

After some more searching i've found the strut top washer fix. I just wasn't typing in the right words it would seem. Can anyone confirm that this is the problem i have? Thanks!

noise on gravel http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bAqvAjpT7Wo

This is a link to a video from a recent autosolo. It's not very long http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mbob5wYB9JI&feature=youtube_gdata Anyone recognise the noise? It's only on full lock in that direction, when doing a full u turn and from the offside front it sounds like. It sounds more rubbery...

Thanks!

Having run a stripped out 80's hot hatch the clio really just seems too substantial and modern to get down to that unfortunately. A bean can metal death trap is what you need!!

No. Thankfully i have the good sense to investigate things before i fit them. Plus i had a near vertical learning curve about tuning with my fiesta. Thnaks thats a bit of the puzzle! I don't want to spend money on this so I'll have to see if i can take the bonnet off and bribe a friend to ride...

Just want to know :) I've come from a fiesta XR2 that i knew just about as much as there is to know about and a Honda CRX vtec whose engine has pages all over the net written about it and the honda manual tells you all you would ever wish to know. The renault has been a much harder nut to...

Just a couple of questions. I've been using the search function, scoured the net and read the various clio manuals but can't find the answers i was after! 1) When the Injection system on a clio 182 goes into open loop is it just the Lambda sensor it ignores or is it the MAP sensor as well? Are...

Weight is required in the working out of rolling resistance but your right it doesn't make much differance, if any. Even chucking an extra 100kgs in pounds either way made very little difference. 1bhp at the most. The air resistance of just trying to do 2mph more is the biggest factor. How...

Finally found something more likely! The 2005 1.5 dci has a nice deep front bumper and has a frontal area of 20.34 which sounds better as the 20.02 i found seems to relate to the previous generation clio and 20.88 is almost as big as a sierra cosworth at 21! So with that changed the figures...

Very old thread this! Was brought here by a google search. The only info i could find lists the 182 as having a frontal area of 1.94 square metres or 20.88 square feet. Evo tested a 182 at millbrooks bowl and got just over 133mph but they did say you add on 1mph for every 10mph over 100. I...

Awesome! Just selling a CRX vtec on now and i will miss that engine. The only reason the UK CRX had 150 and not the 160 of the Jap one is because of our fuels octane rating. The JDM car had a knock sensor and took full advantage of the 100 octane fuel they use. Had 6lbs/ft more torque too but...

Thanks!
