Too bright for me, sticks out too much.... But if you're happy with it :)
I see you took the pic under the bridge in old Leigh, I'm in need of different location inspiration in the area (I live in Thundersley)
The car itself looks really clean
If you have the 54mm spacing hubs I'd go for FK, dampers by Koni and they feel better than the Spax. Just a shame FK aren't in 'cup' 60mm. Still early days for me on Spax, I'm not saying they're bad I d prefer to have the Konigsports
Low MPG again indicates lambda to me, if running lean the ECU would dump more fuel in? Air/fuel mixture is set so if it's outside the parameters it readjusts.... Or spits its dummy. Again I'm no expert so someone might have other ideas but above is how I'd see it?
Also there's a vacuum pipe...
I first joined Cliosport in 2000, I had a black Clio 'valver' lowered, rolling on 17" TSW Venoms :D
The club back then was littered with 16v models with the introduction of the Mk1 172 coming out. I think Nick and Jas ran the club back then.
Ill have to dig out a pic
Coolant temp sensor can throw up problems and not show up on the code readers too :o :D
Are you looking into fitting the rear lambda in the decat to clear that off the list?
Well with mine it idled ok and drove ok on light throttle cruising but on full throttle it misfired slightly, rear sensor. I'd say have them tested, could try swapping them. CLIP should give you a reading on the sensors
Possibly, I'd say fit the sensor in the decat, clear the codes and try again. The ECU will IMO re learn new cycles with it hopefully running ok. No harm in giving it a go
See this is what I was saying about the rear sensor, mine is fitted in the decat. When the car was cold it was spot on, as soon as it was on temp it started running badly. Apparently 182s are quite sensitive regarding anything emission related, a friend of mine worked for Renault. That damn EML...
You can test the lambda sensor off the car with a multimeter and blow torch, heat up the sensor and take a voltage reading. I can't remember what voltage but when it gets hot the voltage rises fairly quick. Maybe the garage could test it?
I have a decat on my 182 and have both lambda sensors in place, the post cat sensor wire was ripped off the main loom causing it to judder on full throttle, clear on light throttle. Hard wired the lambda direct to the loom, cleared the dash lights on CLIP and it's been fine ever since. Some...
Jeez, I paid £5 each from Renault a year ago. There's 2 centre caps on Dialogys that look similar to each other and some parts people get em mixed up, 1 is about £16 and 1 is £5. Unless you quoted the part number that's on the back of the centre cap to them
