    Car Insurance

    I took my 182 off the road last year for 7 months while I was living away. It was sorned and garaged. I've been with Adrian Flux for 20 years , it cost me £137 to cancel the policy and when I came back my quote over the phone was for £300 more than I used to pay annually. Granted I did want to...

    Car Insurance

    I sorted/ garages my 182 while I was living away. It cost a fortune to cancel my policy with Adrian Flux. When i I came back I needed to insure it pretty much straight away and all the prices were sky high. I eventually and begrudgingly insured again with flux even though they quoted me over...

    Clio 182 needs a few bits!

    There were 2 cup packs : 1 being the front splitter and cup spoiler. 2 being anthracite wheels and slightly lower ( 3mm ) ,stiffer suspension. Yours looks to have both going by your pics. Of course the wheels could have been changed so measuring the bolt spacing as said above will tell you for...

    Clio popping/missing when cold

    My 182 pops and bangs alot , has done for years. I've worked out its the join between the olive joint in the Cat and centre pipe leaking slightly. I can see condensation dripping from the join. Once it's warmed up the exhaust must expand and the pops and bangs and dripping exhaust stops. They...

    Insurance won’t renew my policy unless I MOT car

    I sorned and garaged my 182 last year. I phoned Adrian Flux to cancel my insurance , the woman i spoke to said they can insure my sorned car. The car did have an MOT at the time though. I didn't take her up on the offer so I don't know how much it was.

    Austin’s Clio dci 100 Initiale

    Handbrake light is flickering when you're driving , especially round bends? If it is ,that's usually low brake fluid level which could also indicate your brake pads are worn down causing the brake fluid level to drop.

    Handbrake cable Suppliers?

    There's been lots of discussions on here about the exact size. Autodoc are good for parts and they're cheap, you just need to find the exact size. https://m.autodoc.co.uk/spares-search?keyword=Hand+Brake+Cable

    Austin’s Clio dci 100 Initiale

    Those indicators on a battery can be a bit misleading. I'm going back a few years now when my battery died , had to call out the RAC. The indicator was still green. RAC guy said that it only indicates that 1 cell is ok , not all of them. Changed the battery and the old battery was in my garage...

    I had really bad creaking, but it only happened in hot weather for some reason. Mine was the ball joints .

    182 Rear Wiper not clearing top of screen & Washer Jet

    As for dribbling. They all do it , they don't spray like the front washer jets.

    182 Rear Wiper not clearing top of screen & Washer Jet

    Mines the original wiper arm and mine never clears the rear screen in a full arc. I've seen other posts over the years with the same problem , if you can call it a problem.

    Can I make my ph2 1.2 16v clio more fun?

    @Feko123 . According to your profile you're only 17 years old , yeah ? Enjoy your 1.2 for what it is , get some miles and driving experience under your belt. Learn to walk before you can run. I would imagine you're already paying a small fortune for car insurance? Any mods would have to be...

    Check your arch liners, maybe they are catching especially when I'm full lock?

    I did eventually lol . It pisses down alot where I live so that's why I used alot of them. Running the Avon ZV7's after you and Stevem recommended them . ;)

    Uniroyal Rainsport 5

    What's the correct PSI ? I always went with the higher load rating when using RS2's and RS3's and always needed to run 34/35 PSI. I've gone through quite a few sets getting anywhere from 5k miles to just under 6k miles. They're a fantastic tyre in the wet , the only other tyre I thought was as...

    Uniroyal Rainsport 5

    You'd think Uniroyals own website would show all the sizes lol. Didn't think off going straight Camskills site. I'm gonna stick with these Avon ZV7's for now. They feel good enough in the dry and wet and wear rate so far is miles better than the RS3' s. When there have been quite a few positive...

    182 soft brake pedal.

    Had a bit of Man flu over the weekend so never managed to have a look at my brakes. I've found a nice cobbled back street to fire the abs, done it 20 odd times this morning. I've bled through 1 litre of brake fluid , so that's about 1.5 litres in the past few weeks. They all ran clear except...

    Uniroyal Rainsport 5

    Looks like they don't do 205/45/16's in the RS5's , according to Uniroyals website anyway. It does state " extended tyre life". Anything over 5500 miles is extended to me ;) that's what I was averaging on a set of RS3's.

    Uniroyal Rainsport 5

    I've never heard of em, I don't recall seeing any posts about them. The thing is. You're comparing a summer tyre with the Rainsports with a Winter tyre with the Good years.

    MK2 Splitter Required

    Skoda Fabia splitter. 13 quid , job done. Have a search on here and you'll see that's the most popular replacement.

    OEM Front speaker differences

    They don't look like the ones that Martin posted. To me they look like a cheaper speaker. But like I said , I know nothing other than my experience. Maybe if you can get some from someone who is breaking a full fat 172 or 182 you'll get better quality speakers?

    OEM Front speaker differences

    I know f**k all about speakers........ but i remember years ago one of my speakers in my full fat 172 went titsup. I bought one off eBay from a 172 cup and the speaker wasn't as good , it was alot lighter in weight. So there is a difference in whatever model of car you have.

    Fastcar Clio 172 Air Filter Test

    As we all know. The space in the engine bay on is extremely limited . So Renault designed an airbox to fit that space rather than design an airbox for better performance. I'm sure if there was more space it would have been a different shape / design entirely. There's always been lots of talk...

    182 soft brake pedal.

    I've tried so many times today even on wet roads , braking hard. The only time I've had a hint of the abs kicking in is when i brake hard and it's over a manhole cover. I'll bleed through a litre over the weekend and check all the caliper aren't seized. Fingers crossed it won't be raining.

    182 soft brake pedal.

    Bled through about 500ml. It was the old ATE super blue stuff coming out at the beginning so I could tell with the colour change the new fluid was coming through. It might be worth another good bled with alot more fluid ? I'm hoping it's not the MC. Can air get into the and system even if I've...
