    Burning plastic smoke from heater vents! Uh Oh

    Thinking about it now. I'll bet yours has the resistor integrated on the motor. I had a burning plastic smell last year when the fan was on. It turned out the fan was knackered. I sourced a 2nd hand one from a breakers but it had the resistor built onto a board next to the fan. I just bypassed...

    Burning plastic smoke from heater vents! Uh Oh

    Sounds to me like it could be the heater resistor pack knackered and over heating. It controls the speed of the fan. They can get very hot. Vauxhall had a problem with theirs over heating and the cars setting on fire. If it's in the same place as a 182 it's under the drivers side scuttle. If...

    Trolley Jacks 2021

    They've shot up in price for some reason. The 2 tonne one is now £165 😮 it was only £130 a few months ago when I bought one. But I have a trade card and had a £20 voucher so it only cost me £84. If you haven't got a trade card, which are pretty easy to get, try and find someone you know who has...

    Trolley Jacks 2021

    I have to the 2 tonne Halfords advanced trolley jack. Its heavy but not too heavy if you need to carry it. It moves about on the wheels very easily so would assume the 3 tonne version moves the same. Best trolley jack I've ever had and I've had a few over the years.

    Decat/engine lights

    When I had a decat on my 182, both lambda sensors plugged in i had no eml for months. I think it came on about twice. I just plugged in a cheap obd scanner and and reset it. No more lights. I don't see the need to have it mapped out if you can reset it for yourself. 😊

    Strange things with dash

    Make sure the battery you're going to swap is fully charged. Then I'd give the car a good drive and see if that clears up the problem. At least that way you'll know if it's battery related or not. I dry stored mine a couple of years ago for 7 months without starting it periodically , the...

    Strange things with dash

    12v is a bit low. Should really be around 12.6v if the batteries in good condition. See how you get on when you swap the battery.

    Decat on…. 2 issues resolved!

    I had a decat on my Yozza exhaust years ago. All it did was make louder lol. So I sold it. Now you'll just need a Cat to pass the MOT 🤔

    The Dreaded engine management light

    I know you said you've put a new battery on but have you tested it to see if its in good condition? It could have been sat on a shelf for the last year or so. Anything below 12.4 volts and it can struggle to start. I'd get a multimeter on it and check, then you can rule that out. It might need...

    Handbrake cable fitting

    Somebody a while ago posted that these are the cables that actually fit. I saved them for future reference but haven't tried them myself so can't say 100% that they fit. They are 1378mm and 1450mm as you stated...

    Clio Trophy - One owner, 29k, yours for £23,000 of your finest British pounds sir.

    You're right. The Michelin pilot sport pe2 was developed for the 182. Best tyre I've used for the road.

    Pressure washer recommendations?

    Lidls Parkside pressure washers used to be made by Karcher years ago. I'm not sure that's the case anymore. I've never heard that Aldis Workzone pressure washers were ever made by Karcher. The good thing about Lidl and Aldi they both come with a 3 year warranty. So make sure you keep your...

    6000073748 Offside Front Arch Liner - Front Portion

    Looking at all the stuff he's selling he's taking the piss with prices and postage. f**k knows who's paying these prices? It's not like Renault RS's are common in Poland. I've been going for over 10 years and I've yet to see any.

    182 cup pack spring options, shocks and top mounts ?

    Nice one 👍 looks like Autodoc haven't been affected after Brexit. I've ordered stuff in the past and it's usually taken around 8 days.

    Clio 172 ph2 2001 fuel filter service interval

    Ive never heard of anybody having a problem with one yet. If you don't have any issues I'd just leave it.

    Clio 172 ph2 2001 fuel filter service interval

    From what I'm led to believe it's part of the sender unit and its a couple of hundred quid to replace. Why they didn't just have an external filter is beyond me. Probably would have cost a tenner and took 5 mins to change.

    172 Cup cutting out when cold.

    I don't know the answer to your problem, but 1500 revs sounds a little high even when the engines cold.

    Clio 172 ph2 2001 fuel filter service interval

    Mines a 55 plate bought in February 2006. My 172 was bought in November 2001. I don't know if they've issued you the wrong book? But I've never seen or heard of the fuel filter change interval being 72 or 36k miles 😮 All the years of being on Cliosport I've only ever seen it mentioned 150k or...

    Clio 172 ph2 2001 fuel filter service interval

    This is the service book that came with my 182 from new and it says fuel filter change is every 144k miles. I also had a 172 from new and that service book also said the same 🤔

    What Trolley Jack

    To be honest Ive only used the pedal to get the saddle into position then use the handle.

    What Trolley Jack

    They're heavy to pick up but dead easy to move around on the wheels. I wish I'd bought one a long time ago. If you know anybody with a trade card they're only £104. I also had a 20 voucher from confused so only cost me £84 😊 Found this video on YouTube. They're a bit hard to understand. They...

    What Trolley Jack

    I bought the same jack a few months ago after owning a few cheap 30 quid Jack's for years. What a massive difference, I can get the car so much higher on to axle stands. Its solid as a rock.

    Cup or full fat???

    I'm pretty sure, not 100% though that when I bought my first 172 in 2001, not long after that was when I first saw the term Full Fat. I might be wrong as time fades my memory in my old brain lol.
