Hi, I was wondering if anyone has converted their Clio to Bio-Ethanol. I've been looking into it, and it really is beginning to sound interesting. If you convert your car to run on E85 (85% Bio-ethanol, 25% unleaded), you can get a road-tax discount as it is classed as an alternative fuel type...

I've a question for you guys. What exhaust can you recommend? These are my requirements; Stainless steel (obviously). Rear tips look similar to standard. Matched rear lengths - so airflow from both exhausts is the same. Volume - quiet(ish) but with a nice burble when you get it going...

Saw a blue 182 on Fradley Park this morning about 08:15 - I was in a Black 182 (with a distinctive white primer spot on my bonnet) - came ragging up behind you, but turned into my work.

I've just removed my acoustic valve from my 182, but I've noticed there is a tube coming from the front of the manifold. Is this a vaccum tube, and if so, am I ok to block it? If not, what is it, and what shoud I do with it? URGENT RESPONSE as am under car!

I've a dirty great stone chip in my bonnet that every quote I've had says that I'm going to have to have my WHOLE bonnet resprayed because of the colour of it - Black Gold. So instead of it being a £60 repair, I'm looking at the best part of £250. So, because of this I thought I'm gonna have a...

Cute chick in a grey/silver Clio - I was in the black 182 in front of you - I did that stupid boyish thing of tearing away from the junction. Lol!

I'm surpised. It's tuesday and no-one has seen Maz yet this week. She on holiday or something?

Hey all, I know everyone talks about TBs & Turbo upgrades for the 182, but does anyone know of a kit/company that does superchargers? I prefer the whine of a supercharger, and I know the power gains aren't as much as a Turbo (don't want to put too much strain on the old block). Just thought...

Hi all, I did the Clio dash diagnostics trick last night, as I thought I'd have a look and see what it was like. When I got through to the last screen, I had a "t" error on it. I know my car had a problem just after I had it and it was repaired under warrenty, and I always wondered if they had...

Hi all, I'm looking at changing my inlet feed for my air intake, but I'm struggling to find a supplier. All the ones I have found on the 'net have the inlet tube for the crank case oil breather, but I was going to fit an external oil breather. Does anyone know of a company or supplier that does...

Hey all, I've seen loads of pics of peoples engine bays on here where they have polished the top of the plennum, and the inlet pipes leading to the cylinders. How is this acheived? Is it a replacement plennum, or is there a specific way of polishing the casing to bring the shine out? Thanks...

With reference to my earlier post... http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=263405 I took my car out last night and I had my ABS, Brake pressure, ESP & SERV lights come on. Stopped at the lights and turned my ignition off and back on - lights disappeared. Drove home and parked on the...

Hey all, I know it's a bit of a newbie question, but I was wondering if some people could explain a few things I keep seeing pop up time & again; Valver - see that all over the shop - not sure what it means ph1 & ph2 - Phase 1 and phase 2? Again, not sure. Ta MB_182

Hi all, I fitted performance discs and shoes to my Clio a couple of weeks back, but I've noticed that my handbreak has to be pulled almost vertically to fully engage the brakes. Is this normal? I'm guessing probably not, but how do you adjust the rear brake travel on the handbrake? Ta MB_182

Hi all, I've just bought a bargain K&N airfilter off E-bay (£30 incl P&P), and fitted it to my 182 last night! I'm really pleased with the increase in torque (and noise!) that it's provided. Looking on the K&N website, this should have had a cold air feed - is it worth me forking out for a...

Hey all, has anyone else suffered this problem. The rubber hand grip on the steering wheel of my 182 (where your thumb sits) has split. Can you get replacements for it, or would it be a whole new steering wheel? MB_182

Here's one for you. I've a dirty great stone chip in the bonnet of my 182, and all the quotes I have had have been silly (£250+) because the dent is quite bad around the chip. My Clio is Black Gold, so they are saying I might have to have the whole bonnet resprayed (thus the high price), so the...

Hey all, I'm sure this is a really stupid question, but where is the brake fluid reservoir on a 182? I've looked through the hand book and it isn't where it says it is in the hand book. Is it a combined power steering fluid/ brake fluid reservoir, or is it hidden under neath something? I've...

I just rang up my insurance to see how much extra it would cost if I added an induction kit to my car, and found out they had my car listed as a standard 182. When I pointed out that it had the additional Cup pack option, they said it's classed as a modification, and are charging me an extra £54...

Hey all, I was wondering if anyone had a Black Clio Cup (With the anthracite alloys) and had painted their callipers white? If so, would you be able to let me see some pics? I'm thinking of doing it myself, as have recently upgraded front discs to grooved rotors. MB_182

Hey all. l`m after some performance discs and pads front and rear for my 182. I need them today though (my car just failed MOT. Please message me if in midland area and can help MB_182

Hey all, Just a quick note that I'm driving up to Edinburgh tomorrow throughout the day, so if you see me, give me a wave. I'll be in a black 182, with reg B***HLM MB_182

Hey all, Just thought I'd drop a quick note to say Hi, and if you see me about, give me a wave! MB_182
