Nice to see the few people I spoke to today. Watch out for derv power next time !

Re: DCI 65 pov spec commuter OEM+ Yeah I have but the benefit isn't very tanglibe for me. High cost because of the nonsport colour! Maybe when I've got lots of excess money to burn :) I was staring at the cat yesterday and still forgot to check the spacing :sleepy:# On reason I did the...

Re: DCI 65 pov spec commuter OEM+ Good to hear you got it sorted. Got to get rid of this stuff though. Takes up too much spaces unfortunately. Can you not just get an AC compressor and auto tensioner. 1200 length belt. Don't connect up the ac and use it as a pulley. A wuss; oh yeah. I do live...

Re: DCI 65 pov spec commuter OEM+ It's at least 1 update a day at the moment. Started to do the wide track conversion on the front today. This is how the car was before I started These bits to fit Made really good progress and got the subframe off in just under 2 hours. HMS Derv...

Re: DCI 65 pov spec commuter OEM+ Ahh that's no so bad then. You're telling me. It's going to involve a lot of piling stuff up to the ceiling! Anytime mate! We should do a dci track session at brands :D Am I right in thinking the brake hose is the same fitting size on sport and non sport? m10

Re: DCI 65 pov spec commuter OEM+ Yeah it was lower than I thought too. Am going to try and get the front on tomorrow afternoon/saturday morning. The decat will have to wait a little longer than planned. I've had to order new rear discs so they will likely come on Monday or Tuesday next week...

take the discs and pads off the back. Use a bit of sand paper on them both. Bet it passes.

As said, looks like a bargain. Any idea why it had ph1 lights on? rear ender? get a 3m kit on the front lights and a skoda splitter and you're on to a winner :)

Re: DCI 65 pov spec commuter OEM+ More presents came today in the form of springs. I went for eibach prolines as they came up for sale and the first set I bought fell through as they were misadvertised. Sportlines are a little lower ya but the red is a little more in your face. Looking like...

on the display when you turn the car on (where the mileage displays) does it say "oil ok"?

Has the car been standing frequently? looks like it's been damp a while. Nothing to worry about though. Clutch in first pic appears to be pretty new.

Don't know what other sensor would be on top of the engine if it's not camshaft. Probably silly question but does the car register the oil level is okay when you start up? If you're certain the sensor is okay then options are diagnostics or check the wiring.

I think the part you're referring to is the camshaft sensor which wouldn't cause an oil light on any engine. I'm not familiar with these engines though so I might have got the wrong sensor. Are you able to have it plugged into a machine to find any fault codes. Could be another faulty sensor...

Nice easy way to get the manual tensioner tighter is to put a jubilee clip around the hook on the tensioner and the engine bracket. Slacken the tensioner bolt, tighten the clip, do up the tensioner bolt and remove the jubilee clip. Should make it a load better.

I couldn't sell my 182 which was stripped for £2200 and not being bias but mine had a lot more done to it. Essentially it's just a stripped out 182 with 1 or 2 give or take things. As above £2k absolute max but it would need an MOT and tax for that price.

Flashing EML is commonly an injector. I would have it plugged in if I were you. You can do this test. If one doesn't make much difference, it's dead. http://youtu.be/7XFGx-c7E4s

leew88 You just need to put the m3r3 resistor from maplin between the plugs. Push it in quite a long way and fold the end over to make it a bit bigger <that's not sexual advice Under the seats it's a case of putting a resistor between the 2 wires (neither of them grey - earth) colours change...

As above the things you have changed are plug and play. The coded set consists of ECU, UCH, decoder ring and key fob. You don't need clocks. Was the relay in the engine bay clicking with the old unit? If not it sounds like your new one is also dead. Make sure if your car has an N3 UCH your new...

You just keep clicking post when I'm in the middle of typing. You obviously live closer to the cliosport server!

Yeah it would. Not a difficult job though. Slacked the drive shaft nut. Drain gearbox oil Remove shock, lower ball joint, caliper from hub (tie up somewhere) 3 bolts which hold flange to gearbox. Wack off the hub not forgetting to disconnect the abs sensor. Swap over abs rings and...

Re: DCI 65 pov spec commuter OEM+ I got stuck on question 2 so rebuilt the calipers. Nipples and rear lines turned up. Tada!

are you refering to the ph1 and ph2 difference. It's the fronts which are different yes, rear is identical

I'm no expert on 197s I'm afraid but lower ball joints in a common problem and from memory very difficult to change without changing the hub carriers. Have a search on here and the 197 forum :)

on this one the disc thing at the front is the bearing. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Genuine-Renault-Clio-172-182-Genuine-Front-Top-Suspension-Mounting-Kit-Shock-/181260333878?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&fits=Model%3AClio&hash=item2a33f53336

Leo182 Look up genuine top mount kit on ebay. That's what you want :)

Absolutely no problems at all. Especially the rears. Lightly slacken the hub nut with the car on the ground. Jack up Wheel off 2x 17mms on the pad carrier Get the hub nut off fully Disc off Wind back the caliper piston using a screw driver New disc on with the disc spacer the right way...

But the car doesn't have adjustable camber as far as I know. Adjusting the toe would make a minor difference to camber and caster but not as much as needed. Did you get a before and after geo report. Assume the above is before. Cars to naturally pull to the left slightly so if you fall asleep...

Bent strut most likely or a knuckle.

this has happened on 2 of my clios. On the boot lid on one and the rear 1/4 on the other. In fact on the 182 when it happened I remember laughing at how french it was. The jet washer is pathetic as well!
