Cheers Bloke, you rock!

Here is a pic of the back guys: https://farm1.staticflickr.com/278/19885242442_e037ec4d1a_b.jpg Does that help?

Hey guys I removed my battery for a while, and now the radio requires a code when I try to turn it on. Any idea how I can source this code please? The car is a 2004 182. Regards Jon

Thanks guys! I'll fit it as soon as I get a chance.

Hi guys! Long time no speak. I've been really busy in the last year and haven't had any time to think about the clio at all. My OE exhaust finally rotted, so I fitted a K-Tek stainless exhaust(I think that was the name). All is now very well. It came with a de-cat pipe, but I haven't...

Hey guys Here is the timeline of problem: - throttle pedal stopped working, car would not rev, went into limp mode and maintained 2-2.5k rpm. - checked OBD2 to confirm problem. P0130 from memory, Throttle Position Sensor. - removed old pedal & sensor for examination - tried to start car with...

Hey guys just got back from garage. They block tested and no sign of exhaust gas in teh coolant so I am in the clear! Yipee! I need to keep the same short journey routine so from now on my routine will include: - a long drive at least twice a month - extra regular oil changes(i am guessing...

That's interesting Fraser. It has ONLY done short journeys. Literraly only half a dozen journeys have been over 2 miles. It never gets up to temp, naughty I know. I don't quite follow you - is the beather the pipe coming out of the rear of the cam cover? Not sure why thati relavant. Can you...

Hey Dan - from memory the T/stat housing is on the side of the head BUT I never removed that assembly from the head so no scope for error there. I removed the rubber water pipes from the assembly but no scope for error there either really. - no not genuine HG, I forgot the make but Andy @...

just looking through the filler hole it looks perfect. Dark amber - 6 month old oil with few miles, just like it should I guess. Just for general info purposes - are there any ways that the oil and water can mix other than the following? - HG-related problem - cracked head - cracked block I'm...

Understood - I'll research this now. Thanks Hi. well I'm pretty OCD and I followed the workshop manual to the letter, with the torquing, angular torquing and sequencing. So I guess its pos that I made a mistake, but I 99.9% sure.

Hey guys! Me again. Just a quick catch up. I bought a 2004 Clio182 this summer. Immediately the cambelt failed and I had to do a top end re-build. Here is the thread: http://www.cliosport.net/threads/please-help-with-engine-issue-182-2004.776949/ Since then the car has been perfect for 6...

OK been under the clio. The offending heat shield was the rear one. It had failed at all of the mount points and was just sitting on the exhaust. So I ripped it off. While under there I noticed a couple of un-desirables: - rear exhaust mounts have failed. They look crap and weak, so gunna see...

I'm on it. Yup - I was worried that the clio forum was going to be a bunch of youngsters talking in 'ghetto talk or whatever its called, and no real info - but I couldn't have been more wrong. Very useful place.

Stereo working now - thanks to Dan@SJM OK, just sorting some more things on my snag list, can I get some opinions on the following please? 1) a heat shield at the rear is rattling about and needs re-fixing or removing. I've never had a car with a rear axle like the Clio. I am not sure where to...

Pics PM'd BTW - Dan, is there anything that you can't do?

Sweet! I'll get on it!

Oh - one more thing to add. I tried using the stereo, which I assume is the OE one. It asks for a 4 digit code. Not sure why. Anyone know about this? Thx

Cheers guys - OK regards the P0443 errors I'll just plug the purge valve back in, I'm not even sure why I removed it, was just bored I guess. - regards the seat, actually that sounds really good thanks, I'll remove seats and remove spacers, I'll think that'll do it. Just hate it when head rubs...

Hi guys. Just an update of how the car is going. I have performed several test drives, 1mile then 2 then 5 then 10. No engine problems which is great. The car runs faultlessly. :) After each run I checked all over the engine to ensure nothing had slipped and no leaks had developed etc. A few...

OK! Thats one repaired Clio 182 :smile: Many thanks to all who have participated in the thread so far, I literally could not have done it without you all! Gunna do some small test drives now to ensure that the tensioner doesn't look like slipping again.

Got her running again. I removed all of the relays and fuses out of the engine bay fuse box and cleaned them up and put them back and now the fuel is running and the car is working. Looks like I have a gremlin in the engine bay fuse/relay box. Possibly corroded terminals, possibly loose...

LOL this thing REALLY does not want to run. After the first successful trial I tried it again with water in it. It worked for a few seconds and then spluttered and died. From then on it would just catch for a few revs and then splutter and die. From my Nissan years that sounds like fuel...

IT WORKS! THE BLOODY THING WORKS! phew OK I spent 2 hours today trying every combination of starting/locking/blipping etc etc. In the end the thing that got it working was I locking it up AND put tape on the bonnet shut sensor so it thought the bonnet was close (no slam panel). THEN I walked...

Cool Immob is fine I think (light is staying on during key turn). OK I'll start again tomorrow with a fresh head: - check OBDII for any errors - check injectors are squirting - check plugs are firing Does anyone know a decent way to check if the injectors are firing? Currently I remove rail...

OK; - engine bay finished, looks very nice - cylinder compressions don't look too nice; 200Psi, 215, 185,175 - never had a car with such variance. That was a cold and dry test, haven't got engine started yet. - and now for the bad bit... the engine still doesn't start. **sigh**, turn key and...

Cheers James I'll get on it. Some stuff I got done today: - took advantage of empty engine bay, painted both side of engine bay & inside front arches with anti-rust gunk - re-fitted most of the engine bay parts. For anyone following the thread, you don't need to remove all of the stuff that I...

Hey guys just a couple of questions about engine bay please while I'm putting it back together. - I don't like the OE air intake box and was planning to replace it with some kind of bad boy open cone intake, you know the kind of thing I mean. If so, then the thing on the far front passenger...

I used engine oil to lube, maybe that was not the right choice. Easy to remove the rail so I'll sort that a little further down the line once I've checked that everything is working.

OK main engine core in and mounted. Looks rather nice. Damaged injector replaced with another from Engine Dynamics. Had trouble getting the injectors into manifold. 3 went in ok. One would just not go in, seal is slightly bulged out on top, I guess we'll see how it works. Hooked up ECU and a...
