Yeah the car will run with, lambda, map and a couple of other sensors unplugged. Uses safe preset values when no live data available.

lower limit is when the car is still warming up. Will increase when warm enough to be ragged. If you unplug lambda it will run on standard values in the ecu so you can give it a go. Will also do this with the sensors on the inlet so you can test if they are okay too.

Goes into the connector block next to the left tweeter under the top dash. You can get the replacement loom from a breaking 182.

USE THE SEARCH!! This has been covered so many times. http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?718973-swap-172-steering-wheel-for-197-one http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?614246-197-steering-wheel-on-a-182...

Drop me a PM for advice. I was the man sitting on the other side of the desk until October.

The car is legally yours until they pay you out. Admiral will have similar rates to what I quoted

No that's not true. You can keep the car. Work out the salvage value and it stays with you all the time. If you make it clear that's what you want to do then there's no problem. Will be cat C so about 15% of pre accident value at that value. I don't have the book in front of me but it's probably...

Defo write off. Would be nice to see as a cat D with that damage but without doing an estimate it'll be difficult to tell. I suspect cat c though as it's non fault and the labour rates will be higher and the discount on paint and parts less. The above corsa was only a few years old at the time...

Ahh well I learnt something today! I covered mine with a sunstrip and it made it only intermittent

Just a photo of the overall car as the majority of parts can be swapped between the lower engines models.

I wouldn't remove it if I were you. Absolutely hated my 182 without them. The second 182 I had had both engine, gearbox and polybush dogbone. Was sooo much nicer. No rubbish lurching.

@TomSmith123 ? Help this lad out with a book price. sounds like a cat c from my experience. If you have any questions regarding the total loss drop me a PM. Valuing dead cars was my old job so I know the rules and regs inside out. boot floor with other damage will kill a 1*2 no problem

cb10 j&r cv joints are the best place. Have a look at yours first to see if it's a wide one or normal width. They stock both. 44 teeth.

100% not the fuel filter could be the dephaser solenoid. Sounds like the timing might be a small amount out.

Replaced all my abs rings for the correct tooth. Started work on the Red DCI as it failed the MOT. Neighbour came out at half 7 and complained I was banging too much at 11:30 this morning and that he hoped I wasn't going to be out late tonight working. He's lived there 2 weeks. I've lived here...

No, not a pup. The oil under the plenum could be where someone has just missed the filler! glug glug glug as the oil goes. Otherwise it can be a little be of oil seeping around the bolts in that area. Nothing to worry about though :) take off the plenum, clean it up and see if it comes back...

Good to hear you got it sorted. Nice a simple which is good :)

Sounds to me like there is a bargain of a car to be had here!

If you do enough work on it everything is nice and easy to undo, then it's not so bad. I think I've worked on at least one of our clios for 2 weeks straight now. I hugely dislike how illogical the design of somethings is. I never forget that to remove the alternator on the DCI you have to take...

Don't wrap them, find some painted ones and have them repainted in your colour, that will look original then. you mean these ones...

mattjk Have a look here mate http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?733558-Bleed-nipples&p=10216892#post10216892 Really suggest giving it a light tap to loosen

Got a pic mate? they aren't plastic, they are metal

Won't be causing service light as far as I know. Will make wipers have normal intermittent setting

Bin the HID kit, they are pants and illegal. Get xenon headlights from a 172/182 or some decent bulbs like ring automotive 120% or osram night breakers 8000k is very blue. 4300k is standard xenon bulb colour. When I see someone with an HID kit that blinds me I blind them straight back.

karol_SVK Well 26 to be precise ;) My car has 26 tooth abs but the new sport driveshafts had 44 meaning my speedo was seriously out. Hence why I changed all 4.

Are there other lights other than just the stop and service. Oil pressure switch is my thought.

^^^^the above is incorrect. Policies do not cover mechanical break down. They do cover fire damage. Some policies are a little confused and do not cover it under accidental damage but do under the fire section of the policy. Likely if it's smoke damage the car will be written off though...

bboy cb10 Right, here are the photos. Rears are easy, slacken hub nut (30mm), wheel off, pad carrier off, disc off, get a screw driver behind the ring gradually working it off. Fronts are also nice and easy Slacken hub nut (30mm), take off wheel, loosen caliper hub bolts, tre, lower ball...

I'll support the ABS ring theory. It could be other things as well like the abs pump which has gone on one of ours this weekend causing a similar problem. ABS rings are easy to change. Doing all 4 of mine this morning so will try and take a few photos and report back.

My sport lines never felt like this so it's likely you have another issue. Could be something as simple as under inflated tyres
