I've had my 182 since new, coming up to 15 years in February. Wow, where has that time gone. I took it off the road for about 10 months back end of 2018 and garaged it. I didn't need a car for that time. Since putting it back on the road in September 2019 I've spent about £2k with new brakes...

Great little cars. You can have a lot of fun on the B roads, they handle surprisingly well. I've had one a few times when I've been to Poland. I drove it from one end of Poland to the other, flat out where possible, about 10 hours. I thought the fuel gauge was broken lol.

Was posted the other day. https://cliosport.net/threads/anyone-after-a-172-cup.836274/#post-12028186

Which cats2u cat are you running as there are 2 and 1 is twice the price...

I wasn't sure if he'd actually bought it the end and if he did for how much. I know he said it spent some time at Birchdown but it wasn't clear who had actually sent it there.

Did @jong actually buy this in the end and now he's selling it on or is the original owner selling it?

I think this posted on here a couple of months ago? Looks like it didn't sell. I wonder why.

Like @jameswrx said. If it's not located on the peg it'll scratch your window. I know, I learnt the hard way. If you leave it the scratch will just get worse every time you use the wipers.

Welcome to CS. Also for genuine Renault parts you have Renault Wolverhampton who i found to be slightly cheaper than RPD. https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?sid=renaultcarparts_uk&isRefine=true&_pgn=1!~OMSelectionMarkerStart~!!~OMSelectionMarkerEnd~

Back at £27.15 again with Amazon prime @R3k1355

Shows £39.43 for me now. Last night with amazon prime it was showing £27.33. Looks like that offer has finished now.

Get yourself a ball joint puller. Below is just an example. Lots of places sell them...

It's a bit of a minefield trying to find the right fan. It seems there are quite a few different types for a mk2 Clio. Look on ebay and you'll see what I mean. The one I got from a local breakers had the resistor built into the fan. They assured me it would work if I bypass / ignore the resistor...

Is the fan itself working? Mine started playing up a couple of months ago. Was intermittent then I could smell like a burning plastic smell so I stopped running it. I sourced one from a local breakers. Dead easy to change. Post #6...

Or make your own using stainless parts that'll never rust. https://cliosport.net/threads/cat-manifold-diy-fitting-kit.799011/

I was coating the headlights with CarPro Dlux so I thought I'd try some on my scuttle panel and the black plastic on the wing mirrors . I didn't prep the plastic and I didn't remove it, I just left it on o_O That was over 12 months ago and it's still looking good :)

I have these fitted, 6000k and they've been spot on. https://www.hids-direct.co.uk/d2s-50-premium-35w-xenon-headlight-bulb-set-twin-pack/

That'll be why you have spongy brakes then.

https://cliosport.net/threads/brake-bleeding-order.804538/ According to this you were right @Leo182 But I've bled them rears first, fronts first also in the order recommended in the post I've put a link to and all ways worked. As long as you keep the reservoir topped up it never made any...

Birchdown and Diamond motors hourly rate is very reasonable and pretty much inline with local garages I've taken my 182 to for small bits n bat's of jobs that have needed doing over the years. My first experience of a major service at a Renault dealership was an absolute joke. First they rang...

I've been on CS a long time and never heard them called that before lol. At least I know what you mean now. Afaik they've always been referred to as ph1 or ph2.

What's 2x2? I've seen you mention it a couple of times in your posts and don't have clue what you mean by 2x2?

They are sealed,but they usually have a vent hole on each end of the battery that pipe fits into. Both holes have a little plastic plug in that you have to remove then push the pipe in, you only use one hole. Once it's pushed into the hole the pipe just dangles down.

It is very expensive then if it was cash in the hand. I'm the same as you mate. I hate thinking I might have paid more than I could have done. I always read lots of Google reviews before I commit. The only consolation is that he's done a good job.

Sounds a bit expensive to me. Was it including VAT with a receipt or cash in the back sack? More importantly. Are happy with the job?

Both the Renault and Sport badges are in the wrong place. They should be alot lower and closer together.

Spent all that time and money at Birchdown but still no MOT ? I find that very strange.

Tbh I don't know f**k all about radios, but I knew I'd heard before about the radio turning off after 20 mins. From what I can gather it's something to do with not having a permanent live to your radio. Hence why you can listen to the radio for 20 mins with the ignition off then it beeps and...

Yeah , it's the same car. Looks like @jong didn't keep it long after 2 years of persistence , for some reason.

I had a fag burn in my 172s seat. I had a guy do a smart repair and it was totally invisible. He filled it in with some glue and some powder/ fibre product. Just Google smart repair in your area and read the reviews. Welcome to CS.
