Clio Sports clutches are heavy as standard. I have a Valeo clutch in mine what isn't as bad but still isn't the lightest.

Clio Sports do have an oil pressure gauge. I know what they look like and the part number so I just ask.

Mine does it all the time. Wouldn't get it fixed as I like it :)

I just go down to my local Renault dealership and say "Can I have an oil filter for my 182" then he gives me the one I need..... Simple really

Halfords Ezebleed kit is the best, only £5 :) Supposedly you bleed furthest first as you flush most of the old fluid first go, means you are not pushing the old fluid through the system.

When I was in Tunisia, went in a 5 door Clio saloon that had 297k on the clock. The clock wasn't moving so god only knows how many miles it had actually done. Had every dash light on though lol

Easy job just don't do what I did and dropped my post CAT lambda and snap the cathode inside. Wasn't a massive issue as I have a decat so the EML was on anyways. Can pick up a second hand on pretty cheap though. Can be a bit of a tight angle, they tight on so I found best way was to put car on...

Cooksport springs are your best option. They currently sold out due to demand and it's a minimum 2 week wait. I know because I waiting :(

There is a picture of all you lot that went on their Facebook page. It's in that big group pic...

Well I in Cirencester. I plan on leaving at like 9ish if you want to meet up.

Where are you in Wiltshire ?

As it stands, I will be attending this with Mr Lawson if he ever gives me confirmation. Can somebody add me to the list, as I on my phone it doesn't work that great.

Where about's is the loud bang coming from ? If it is central then could be a broken dogbone mount, meaning manifold is hitting the subframe. Check for suspension issue. How exactly did you hit it? Central or to the one side ?

I paid £1100 all in for new engine all belts done, Dephaser changed and a new clutch + oil and coolant etc

Doing about 80 in the sport round a corner, turned out to be sharper than expected. Turned the wheel harder but car was just going straight, locked up and just managed to stop before going Into a ditch....

Always used Shell, other day was low so had to go Tesco, filled it up with about £10 and car started misfiring and flashing EML light so I refilled will shell and haven't had the problem back

My 182 engine blew up on me within the first month of owning it, s**t happens. Doesn't Renault spec say using a litre of oil within 1000 miles is within tolerances ?

Just make sure you put it in gear and then take the handbrake off before you jack it up. Having your clio roll down your drive with the back end up on a jack isn't fun :)

Just put the jack in the middle of the rear axle and lift the whole back end in one go :)

This thread is fully of opinions not facts...

On the left hand side of the engine on top just before the cam cover, it has a plug on it. I could be wrong about it being that. Somebody will be along in a bit who knows a lot more about these engines than me.

VVT solenoid? 5K is when VVT is activated. Is it fine up until 5K?

What oil you using ?

There is a video on YouTube iirc

Never had a problem when I did mine.

Depends now dirty it is. You won't know until you get it off. Cleaning it can only be a good think so do it anyways and see what happens.

Cleaned the TB on my old 1.2. It's in a s**t place as it is under all the inlet and it all has to come off to get to it. I had to change the throttle position sensor so thought I would clean the TB whilst I was there.

KTec sports cat, 14" Team Dynamic alloy with tyre, 150 piece tool set, tool box, seat cover and a bottle of brake fluid. Wow I really need to empty my boot.
