A bit of positive news then :) . No misfire ? It's probably best to give your battery a good charge of its drained.

If it was just an intermittent misfire the code should be cleared, but yours obviously isn't intermittent. Get a meter on your battery. With the engine off you should be looking at about 12.6v if it's in good condition. If it's 12.4v or below it might be on its way out. Can you not get some...

Yeah that was the code for a stored injector fault. Removing that code won't stop it from starting. Maybe somebody else has an idea?

Check that none of the injectors have come loose? I had this a couple of years ago, kept throwing up an injection fault. When you do that little diagnostic trick you have to keep pressing the button on the end of the stalk until you come to _ _ _ _ or maybe t _ _ _

NGK are recommended. That's all I've ever used. Lots of people say that Bosch can cause problems, but that's probably through word if mouth than experience. I had a 172 years ago and would cough and splutter around 2000 revs then after that was fine. Plugs changed and the problem was gone. The...

I'm assuming you used the correct spark plugs? NGK PFR6E 10.

Like Daz said, get them from RPD, cheap enough at 46 quid each. https://www.renaultpartsdirect.co.uk/parts/steering-suspension/renault-clio-172-182-rear-shock-absorber-cup-version/

If you're looking for the actual cigarette lighter you should be able to get one from a scrap yard. If you're only needing it for usb then this might of use to you. https://cliosport.net/threads/replacing-cigarette-lighter-with-usb.809992/

Like @Louis said. It's behind the handbrake arm. It operates a small cam that presses down on the washers , that's what makes the caliper release the brake pads when you release the handbrake. They are inside the body of the caliper. I'd leave them well alone mate or you wont ever get it back...

It's nigh on impossible to get all the concave washers back in. I guess they must have some sort of small press and jig when they're first assembled. @OpulentPete . I doubt the rebuild kit will contain these washers. You'll probably just have the sliders and dust seals , piston and dust boots?

I don't think so. Last September when I had the caliper replaced is the first time a garage has touched the rear brakes. Unless they did it ? I know these 2 guys well but it's like alot of these back street garages, you can never really trust them100%. I'll have another look at it when the...

Very strange. I've had the car since new and not knowingly have the bolts been changed. I did have a new caliper fitted last September after it had been off the road. There's definitely a difference of 4mm between the bolts. It's better than it was but I'm still not 100% happy with it. I've...

It certainly is. ;)

Right , quick update. It's done my fuckin head in lol. The 2 x 18mm bolts that go through the sliders are different lengths. One is 89mm one is 85mm . So roughly 4mm was protruding through the bottom hole in the hub. I never knew there were 2 different lengths of bolts, and that it made a...

@Yorkshire Pudding @frayz Bearing spacer is there , flat face outwards. When the 2 x 18mm bolts aren't tightened up fully the caliper moves back and forth on the sliders. When i tighten them up fully the caliper becomes solid and doesn't move at all. The bolts are original bolts and have about...

The piston moves when using the handbrake mechanism and brake pedal , I've had the dust boot off and greased inside, also greased the sliders. If I leave the 18mm bolts that go through the sliders loose then everything moves as it should. I just tightened the 18mm bolts tight as I could, I...

Bit of a head scratcher this. Quick run down on what's been replaced. Last September my 182 had a new offside caliper fitted as it failed on brake efficiency. It's been ok since except it needed new discs and pads as they were getting a bit worn so I fitted these last week, genuine renault...

You're right. There were 2 packs. 1 was the lower slightly stiffer suspension which also had anthracite wheels , the 2nd pack was the front splitter with cup rear spoiler.

I've seen people mention these lambda removal sockets before. I don't know how good they are but might be worth a try. https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_nkw=22mm+lambda+sensor+socket&_trksid=p2380057.m4084.l2632.R2.TR6.TRC2.A0.H0.X22mm+lam.TRS0&_sacat=34998

Looks a decent job. Much better than the old sticky coating. What colour did you use?

The majority of people run standard Renault or Brembo discs . As for pad choice that's a whole can of worms dependant on what you use the car for. @George@RTR_Parts is one of the go to guys for people's braking needs.

I agree with you. If it's running 300bhp it can only be a sleeper.

What made you go for ebc discs and pads? They're not a popular choice for 1*2s. I had them on a Pug 306 S16 back in the 90s and the discs warped like f**k. Having said that, the pads seemed ok with very little brake dust.

This set should be more than good enough for what you need...

Eh?? ;)

Soak them in Dettol overnight and the rubber coating just peels off. They'll need a good wash and dry afterwards, make sure they're grease free and clean then prime with plastic primer before painting and lacquering. I never actually got round to finishing mine...

If I was getting a new exhaust I'd probably go for a PMS. But I'm happy enough with the Yozza.

Yeah . Had it on my 182 for about 12 years or so. I always have music on in the car so don't really hear it.

They are a bit loud . Just turn the radio up, that's what I do , I never hear mine ;)
