Thanks again,
looks like i might have to go down the active sub route then, was just hoping to get a good sound with speakers in original positions.
has anyone got mid range/mid bass speakers fitted with no sub? Or is the mid bass part mean what it says and wont give good low bass sound?
Seen...
Thanks for the advice Guys. I have an alpine headunit fitted 4x50w. I see there is an inline alpine amp that will give 4x100w from the headunit with no extra wires and finding somewhere for amps etc.
Is the alpine inline amp any good?
Is there any way i could use this set up and filter higher...
Hi,
Looking for advice from the audiophiles out there.
I have a Clio 182 and want to make the tunes sound better.
Been having look on here for ideas and getting the impression that the rear speaker position is pants. If I could get one of the items below to fit in the rear speaker positions...
Also have an Alpine head unit in my 2005 182.Got the Steering wheel controls lead....was around £80, but remember the pre 2005 option being a lot cheaper. My clock still working and Radio Frequency now says "Alpine".
Is there any corrosion between the contacts on the light cluster connectors? I had the same problem on my nearside rear cluster, But the corrosion was very obvious on mine. Sorted with a visit to the breakers, for £5 got a cluster lamp holder and connector with 10 inches of wiring attached...
Put a new upstream lambda sensor on and fixed the little blows at exhaust joints.
3 mpg better at 70mph and now passed with lambda reading = 1.003.
The exhaust would probably have sorted it out but , passed so happy days.
Thanks for the advice guys, working 12hr nights just now so hope to get a chance to have a proper look soon.
I didnt mention the HC value was Zero :-? Whats that all about?
And the exhaust system had a load of oil down it when the last engine chucked a rod.
HI,
Just like to see if anyone out there has any views on this.
My 182 just failed MOT for high "Lambda Reading" = too much Oxygen in my exhaust.
CO and HC passed by miles. Car is standard.
Going to have a good look for leaks in the exhaust.
Is there any chance that the twin tail pipe...
The £2.5k will be the retail price ask them what it what cost price will be.
Just for your info I paid £600 of a £2300(retail) bill for the rebuild of the top end of my 182, after cambelt failure at around 40k miles, 4 1/2 years old.
Then £1700 of a £3600(retail) bill for a new engine fitted...
Had the same problem after changing my fluid, you need to have the ABS firing while bleeding. RS tuner with an add-on or some other diagnostics kit.
Dealer sorted mine out. I put almost a litre through it with no joy. Some people on hear say all you have to do is go out in it and get the abs to...
Tigger , Just done my trackrod end and geting the traction control and service light, Getting the alignment sorted out today.
was going to count the threads but got sidetracked into fighting with the old rodend, was a b**ch to get off.
How does the alignment bring the light on?
I have just put Eibach prokit on my 182 cup. Not found the ride any stiffer,but a bit choppier and hight is much the same.Found the front wheels loose traction easier when crossing the road camber coming off a roundabout.Not realy had it in the dry yet. I fitted them as the dealer was quoting...
Dealer flattened my sill at the jacking point when car was only 1 year old. Said it couldn't have been them as the mechanic would have seen it...Mmmm Right! So if using a trolly jack on the sill take care......Make sure the jack castors will let the jack roll outwards as you drop the car, or it...
If people are lookin on here for info on cam belt change, then dont let it go the 72K, Do the lot each 36K with aux belt kit.
Trust me, i'm om my second engine. Have a feeling that my problem was the oil leak from the rocker cover.
yep i get this fault now and again, also get the cruise control slow down button makin it go faster, ended up set at 112 going under a roundabout that the traffic cops hang out at. The esp light goes away after switching off then back on.
After the snow ....was looking around on here and found this.
Very smart plan. I found out how bad exaltos are in the snow / ice last week.
Front of the car slid off down the road camber into the ditch while puling away, had full Righthand lock on and taking it as easy as i could without...
I know the thread was old but was only one that had my exact symptoms.
Thanks for the info Fastchip and Tommy, But my friendly local dealer plugged it into his puter

Cost £0 which is nice.
Pedal now feels like it did before... softish for that first inch or...

Think i let to much old fluid out bfore topping up..oops.!

Message won't show if you leave the cruise control on, put the cruise/speed limiter switch in the middle position.
It will show next time you turm in the ignition.
not remapped. but did hit 7250rpm and was changing up as it went bang.
whats too high?
Renaults limiter is not there so you can bounce off of it every gear change.
All water under the bridge..new engine fitted. Will keep the little 182 for a long time, can't part with it..... But it is slowly turning into "triggers brush"..........
Had to go back to the dealer 3 times after the engine change, kept the faults between myself and them. Waiting for a part...
Might have rev'd a little high just before it went bang,
flat out in 3rd changing up after a large roundabout that was taken pretty fast.
Thanks for all the input guys.

One years parts and labour warranty from Ren.
