Washed and polished it and drove it yesterday, which was also the 8th anniversary of buying it.

I asked the question about protection on the headlights a bit ago and someone suggested some of this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/151502109290?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&var=450708521773&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT I was a bit dubious so haven't ordered any. 2k clearcoat sounds interesting...

How the flying f*ck could I not find that? Cheers btw.

Can anyone link me or give me the part number for the twist/butterfly (whatever you call it) filler cap for the gear oil on my 182 or ideally link me direct to the washer itself? A while back when taking it and changing the gear oil the washer dropped and got lost. I want to replace it but I'm...

Yeah I'll get one of them, either next pay day or the one after. To be honest I had no idea ECP sold them.

Got it back after a week of it being away having a new back bumper fitted (light rear end, which only caused a small crease on the bumper - insurance insisted on new bumper = result). Fitted a new high level brake light as it would have failed it on it's test a week and a half ago (although he...

I've had a rotary polisher for about 5 years and done little bits on my BG 182 with it. Not particularly skilled with it, just got a few scratches out with it using something quite basic like Meguiars Scratch 1.3/2.0. My rear driverside rear quarter has quite a few scuffs, scratches etc in it...

That is exactly what I was wanting to hear. I'd rather get a good quality one at a decent price and pay to get it fettled than have to source something without rust that is 10+ years old, then pay to get it fettled too.

I've been aware for ages that there was rust on the inside front of my bonnet but never got around to sorting it (I'm talking nearly the length of time I've had the car - nearly 8 years 😊). Over the last year and a bit it's finally came through, nothing too bad at the moment but it does...

Just checked my oil and water etc as I was about to set off on a 200 mile round trip. On doing so I noticed the top two timing cover bolts were loose, a lower one actually about to come out (timing belt done in april). What's the liklihood these bolts will have worn loose rather than have been...

On Saturday I changed the power steering fluid and took it for a test drive and it was still making the noise. I then took the brake pads apart as they were too tight having fitted them ages ago with the shims and not been able to file them down. I put them back in without the shims for now, so...

As above, been going on for ages, only got a touch worse recently. It doesn't always do it, but if you're turning right and go over a bump/round a corner/roundabout there's something coming from the right side of the car. It seems be something of a screech, with a squeak at times when you go...

Changed power steering fluid Took front brakes apart, cleaned and inspected as pads seemed to be sticking. Regreased sliders. Re greased driver side cv joint

Fitted a tailgate solenoid.

cheers guys. Ended up buying new from Renault Wolverhampton just over £41 delivered.

Cheers.

Not sure how much to order for this, finally going to do it. Roughly what does it take, just so I order more than enough.

I noticed mine under the bonnet lip about 6 years ago, treat it after sanding it back and then forgot to keep on top of it. It's now all the way through, could do with another bonnet :(

Am I correct in thinking this part will bolt straight onto the rest of the unit and repair it? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RENAULT-CLIO-MK2-2001-2006-BRAND-NEW-REAR-BOOT-TAILGATE-LOCK-MOTOR-SOLENOID-/111675149694?fits=Model%3AClio&hash=item1a005b8d7e

Got a 54 plate 182 and I need a new tailgate lock/solenoid. Does anyone know how much these are new (if we can even get them new)? Prices second hand seem to be from £15 to £30, if new ones aren't too expensive I'd rather buy new.

Nice one. I'll have a look at that at the weekend. Any ideas on the amount needed?

Think mine needs doing as to my knowledge it's never been done and there's an occasional whine/squeak when turning right when the car goes over a bump or is leaning down on the right. I've done loads of searches but none with a definite way of doing it. IS there a best place to drain from and...

Can't speak for recent 192's as I bought mine late 2009, but it was a bit of a pain to line up over the years. Had to adjust the rear hangers to get it to sit right, then when they got welded it was done properly so haven't had any issues since. As for build quality it hasn't been too bad. I...

Cheers, thought as much. Have to get one.

The little plastic butterfly bolt where you fill the gearbox with oil, is it supposed to have a washer or seal on it? First time I done mine several years ago I think something fell off, though not sure and it's just been the plastic bolt since. I've always kept and eye on it and it's not...

Is there a definite way of doing this as I'm reading through various threads and everyone seems to do it differently.

Did you find out what the squeak was?

Drove it and put my foot down in it last night, for the first time in God knows how long. Made me smile, seeing as I'm used to driving a Transit day in day out and she drives the Clio. Also it made me laugh as when she was parking it later on it done the random thing it occasionally done to me...

No worries mate. I sourced some apparently genuine ones for £75.80 delivered so I got them.

Fitted two new rear shockers.
