you wouldn't, i was in a red mondeo estate, i get picked up for work if we're working over chi way

lol we're working in chichester! The traction control was having a spastic attack last night when i went over my mates house lol

was it you i saw this morning heading towards bognor on the littlehampton road? About 8 am in x reg coupe.

I've had mine just over a week and it has had new HT leads due to it missfiring, I had to take apart the washer jet motors because they wernt working, I'll be needing a new exhaust at some point because it has started blowing. Apart from that its all good. Oh and the dephaser pulley is...

Welcome to the forum mate, for full membership click the settings link in the top right hand corner and click 'paid subscriptions' in the list on the left hand side. The rest should be self explanitry.

I'm also going to be in need of two front tyres soon. I'm thinking of getting the proxies t1-r at £68 each delivered. At the moment my car has Kumho tyres on but I dont know what type they are. They seem to grip well though, So I might go for them again. Just not sure! and would prefer somthing...

Got her back about an hour ago and its just how it should be!. :cool:

Yeah but its not that blue, its the metallic blue.

hopefully! Plus 50 labour to do the leads and change the coolant. I'm sure you'll notice it, it has the dark renault alloys and cup spoiler.

nope mines blue and tho reg ends in jza, i have been working in chi recently but been getting picked up so you wont have seen me yet mate. On another note the garage rung me earlier, apparently the leads were the problem, their waiting for them to come in and it should be fixed tomorrow, 50...

no i'm sure its not serious, one minute it drives perfectly the next its crap, maybe a coil dying or somethin! My 182 is metallic blue think its called arctic blue? Anyway ems specialise in electronics and engine management so they know their stuff

i haven't really got time at the moment to investigate, so i booked it into ems in littlehampton, the guy is an ex renault mech, so hopefully it'll be sorted tomorrow


thanks mate will give that a try, where abouts is the connector for the lambda?

i just got a quote from my local exhaust place, 500 quid fitted lol, i think its gonna have to be a stainless system as much as i don't want to have one

my exhaust looks like its in one piece, no joint between the boxes, can you get oem exhausts as patterns rather than from renault?

i might need to replace mine too as its blowing, i really wanted to keep mine standard, anyone seen the scorpion exhausts on ebay? I don't really want any more noise than standard!

thanks for all the advice, i'm gonna have a look over the weekend, if i can't find the problem, i might take it to rentech to get it plugged in, dont want to replace things that aren't broken

I've just been out in it again, no problem starting or when cold. Once upto temp it would drive fine, then start missfiring for a while under load then drive fine again. its very intermittent. It may be coincidence but this problem arrose the same day I removed my washer bottle to fix the...

Thanks for the info Mick. It displayed just a J on its own. Well I havent tried it today to see if it still has the problem. But I shall reset the code (i beleive i can do that by pressing the trip reset button whilst displaying the code). By the way are these K-tec code readers any good? I'm...

Looks like this isnt very serious. Just left my mates, it was stone cold. Starts lovely and drives fine and then the temp gauge reached about a quarter then it started missing quiet badly under low down revs, the engine warning light started flashing so i pulled over, switched the car off then...

Well it was a b**ch to get to, because i didnt remove the bottle or the linkage. But I managed to do it and both motors work lovely now that I trimmed that rubber piston in the pump. Just got to sort out the leak now, which seems to be dripping from the front corner of the front bumper near the...

Well second day of owning a clio and the problems start lol. Basically developed a missfire when under load say at 1500 or 2k revs in higher gears as you accelerate it stutters, also when idling if you hit the throttle a bit lively it stutters before it picks up. This is when at normal running...

thanks for the info, i'll give it a shot, i think the headlight washers are working, so its just the front and back that aren't

I picked up my 182 today, and love it to bits!. However it seems to have the common washer jet fault!. Nothing coming out of the rear jet or the headlight washers. And only a dribble coming out of the windscreen washers, however I can hear the motors working and there doesnt appear to be any...

Glad your pleased with it mate. I'm in the same boat, I've been driving a turbo car for 3 years now. Its gonna be weird!.

Did you get it alright?. Its my turn tomorrow. :cool: Picking mine up about 10am. Really looking forward to it.

Lol awesome. Im picking mine up Saturday!. First clio ownership for me too. I hope it lives up to all the hype on the handling side of things!.

Saw what I thought was a Red 182 although it was raining and dark, going from chichester to bognor on chi road about 5pm today. Driving like an absolute wanker but nice car anyways.

pm me where abouts you are and what sort of price id be looking at? :)

I'm in bognor, the car is about 120 miles away. its this one...
