    What The Hell Were Renault Thinking When Designing The 182 Engine Bay?

    Why So Blue Clio? (Artic Mirror 182)

    Cheers guys. Will have a look under the car at the weekend and see what sort of condition the exhaust mounts are in. dont think the exhaust is in brilliant condition anyway. signs of rust around the silencer, so might be new exhaust time im 6months anyway

    rant about my cup

    i might be wrong on the 5cylinders, might be getting mixed up with the mk4 which was 5cylinders.

    rant about my cup

    The golf mk5 is 200bhp/280nm torque or 230bhp/300nm torque if the gti edition 30. Both are 2.0 5cylinder turbo engines. The GTI 30 would prob pull on you in every scenario as standard especially once moving due to the extra torque. All's it would take is a remap and i would imagine both would...

    2 lights on dash, help advice COST!!!

    coil pack or lambda sensor. you either need to buy a code reader or take it to a garage and get them to read the fault. if you have aa cover they can plug their computer in and read the code for u then you can replace the parts yourself to save money.

    Clio Sport 172 2.0 16V Insurance

    The first post of this thread looks very much like a marketing ploy to me. It's his first post and hes posted some cheesy little thing at the bottom about what a great insurance co they are.

    Ball joint

    are you sure its not the strut top's knocking? common fault on the RS Clio's. Yozzasport do a set of washers which were fitted to the Clio V6 to stop the knocking. By all accounts a cheap and easy fix http://www.yozzasport.co.uk/proddetail.php?prod=yozzasport_stut_top_washer&cat=69

    Does anybody know how to turn off the service light?

    the service light is not for that. the service light only lights when there is a fault on the car. there is no light which comes on when your car is due a service. the reason your serv light is on is because there is a fault somewere

    Yah! and a big up for National Tyres

    last time i had some from national, yes it was oil from a big tank but the invoice/tank said it was magnatec so not really a cheap oil as such. Certainly no gripes for the money paid.

    For me greenlight wanted the same premium of £957 whether it was a Focus ST170/Clio172 or 182 as long as it wasnt a cup.

    Looking to join the 182 club...

    Also look out for common faults that may allow you to haggle some cash off. Eg Leaking rear shocks, leaking headlight washers, worn steering wheel etc

    Looking to join the 182 club...

    Thats just a scam through and through, theyll want you to pay for the car via paypal and they will tell you they will ship it in the country. Youll never see the car or your money. Just for the record, imo 6k is a little low for a 182 although £6500 and you should be in business. I bought my...
