    PIKEY COWBOY MOTHER F**KER!!

    I'd pay £30/hr to avoid the hassle personally. It's one of those realllllly annoying things to do.

    Mates just bought this...

    Or, high mileage. Sounds counter intuitive but I bought mine from a guy who commuted 60 miles each way a day, he said he just stuck it on cruise control at 70. He had a track bike so I presume that was his toy to be abused. Of course you're going to drive them hard... I've found since owning...

    'Catalytic Converter Malfunction' error code

    "I have had rough idle recently and problems on start up." Makes me think upstream lambda. " 'Catalytic Converter malfunction'" Makes me think downstream lambda giving, rightly or wrongly, an out of range emissions reading. Could the over fueling caused by a faulty upstream lambda make the...

    Growing Out Of The Clio?

    Yeah but to people who don't know much about cars they all look the same! Clio 182 = 'sport' sticker and some stick on exhaust tips from halfords! Doesn't bother me though.

    Macbook Pro & Water & Insurance

    Knocked a can of beer over onto my Macbook Pro, f**king nightmare. I turned it straight off and took the battery out, dried it off and put it upside down like a tent, covered, with a hairdryer blowing hot air into and across the keyboard, turning it into a little oven. Just turned it back...

    Renault Clio Sport 172 ph 2 + All extra's/ 03 plate with 69000

    For reference, I paid £3800 for my 2004 182 (both cup packs) on 80k miles with FSH & every tax disc & original receipt etc etc. I feel I paid too much but it drives fine, has been serviced properly (kind of, the PO opted out of changing the aux belt!) and is in good nick so I don't really mind.

    Little help please?

    Pull it to get it as close to you as possible and then I used a little screwdriver to lift the catch and pulled on the wire to pull out the plug. Getting it back on is equally annoying, you can kinda, wiggle your hand up and half grip the plug and then have to push using the wire to get it...

    Going to get a private plate, question about the existing one!

    "As the registered keeper of a vehicle, you can apply to remove a registration number from the vehicle and hold it on a retention document (V778) for one, two or three years. "...... "the fee to retain - £105 for one year, £130 for two years or £155 for three years"...

    wheres my 5 k kick

    My 182 has a definite, massively noticeable increase in acceleration at and above 5000rpm. My dad had a GTi that I drove a lot and its very different to a turbo kicking in. Its more like a switch being flicked rather than a surge in power.

    Liquid yellow 182.... value check !! please help!!

    I looked at the sales data and, correct me if I'm wrong I quite often am, no LY 182's were sold with one cup pack. For the Arctic Blue, for example, there's 1037 with cup spoiler and 1075 with cup suspension, meaning 38 people specced the suspension but not the spoiler (seems a bit weird) For...

    engine light fault 18?

    Buy this: http://goo.gl/9hB7 And either get under the car and swap it out yourself, or take it to someone to do it for you. It's easy peasy takes less that half an hour. I had the exact same problems as you (CEL light and issues for first few mins), swapped the lambda sensor, completely fixed.

    Chill out on the caps lock seriously. Not had any work done by Northwest Performance but order parts from them and they've been fine. They are a trader on this forum so others must have dealt with them.
