Seen a couple in the RB thread, but i could be looking through that for hours, thinking of getting some for my 182 to make it a bit different from the other sports kicking around here, anyone got any photos? Thinking gun metal grey..
After nearly a month of searching and getting fed up I found a FF RB Clio 182 that looked very clean and bit the bullet, saw the car on eBay and bidded on it , with out even going to look at it, I won the bid for £2,600 and travelled nearly 400 miles to pick it up. 81k miles on it, service...
I tried to fit the old ones from my Fiesta but they do not fit, the clio seats are too buckety
Anyone link me to any that will fit? dont really like the snap on ones as they leave half of it exposed and move around easily
Never looked at Clio 182 engine mounts before but they look shiny and a mate said they don't look standard, are these uprated? Both of my engine mounts look similar..
Well.. charged battery up at work today.. got the jump leads multimeter etc... stuck live on battery to standard live wiring, then the earth to the engine mount... still only charging around 12.7... So had removed earth lead cleaned it all up. Then tried to take the live off the alternator nut...
Can anyone just confirm what type of Alternator I need?
Only had 11 volts coming out of her. Do i need the £300 110 amp or do the lower 95 amp ones do?
I was loving the first 200 miles of driving it.. as it was round abouts and straights for a long while so was enjoying the car! Then once hit the motoway the disco lights came on. I still love my experience so far just hope it can be fixed easily and for not too much £££
Yeah it could be something simple like a loose wire.. hopefully! Need to have a good look around the alternator and check everything. will take the battery off when car gets here to take it to work tomorrow to test it and charge it. Then try get home in the daylight and have a good look at the...
Thanks guys.. the quote below made me think this.. But if the battery is too big and the alternator can't get enough power out to it to keep it topped up? or it'd just be a shagged alt?
So i defiantly need to buy an 110amp alt. I'l get it taken off and tested i think.
Cars being picked up tomorrow £180. :)
Just checked my mates 182, its the same as mine, the greenlight man was saying the wire on the alternator was too small and was getting hot.. but its the same as my mates 182. Will drop test the battery at work. And go from there, and get it up on the ramp...
I'm down in Plymouth, cars 133 miles away.
I've got access to ramps at work and a few mechanic friends, if we can't find any obvious wiring faults, go for new battery and alternator... Just proving to be a pain in the ass to get the car home at moment without paying an arm and a leg, thanks for...
It could be something as simple as that.. but at 10pm at night in the rain and pitch black only so much you can see and do. I don't want to be driving 133 miles to try and fix it if I can't, would rather just get it trailered home safely then can sort it.

Similar to that.. but the guy fitted a new battery.. the battery in this car is less than 5 months old.
Forgot to add I was loosing my speedo too...
It was normally ABS / TC light come on... they'd go off.. Radio would turn off... lose my speedo... STOP light and handbrake light come on, airbag light too then car would die..
Strange thing is.. the lights all die.. dash lights come on etc.. Then the car won't start leave it a while and it fires back up and is completely normal... The battery isn't going flat 100% its f**king weird as hell. First thoughts alternator aswell..
The battery fitted is a Bosch S4 075. What...
Went got the 182 tonight driving faultlessly for over 200 miles.
Then going down the motorway the abs and esp lights come on.. dodgy sensor I think after.a.while it goes off and is fine..little later my stereo.turns off along with a stop light on the dash and the red center light flashing.. it...
As long as the font is standard i'm sure ANPR cameras can read them.. as the square plates are read fine etc. My new car has one and i'll be getting one made with my private plate on, may keep my old one spare in the car just incase.
Cheers for that, some proper pikey s**t going on there! I'll get under the car and see what needs doing after i've done it, will fit the new ones for now then modifiy the old ones to fit, sure work something out.
