    Battery / Alternator issues with odd noise

    The op is sorted. He had another post about the same problem. Turned out to be the battery.

    Noob question, replacing xenon lights

    You can leave the bumper attached in the middle as someone said above. Unless you have the hands of a small girl. I've got these in mine, 6000k . They're a bit whiter than the oem bulbs without being blue. https://www.hids-direct.co.uk/d2s-50-premium-35w-xenon-headlight-bulb-set-twin-pack/

    Unimpressed by 182, what do you love about it?

    It's not a cup. It's a Full Fat with both cup packs going off the pics in the advert. 1 cup pack option was front splitter and cup rear spoiler , although the one in the advert looks to have the Skoda Fabia front splitter. That's quite common now to have that because most cracked / broke so the...

    Arctic 182 Project

    Looks like you've made alot of progress in a short space of time, but the exhaust doesn't look right to me , it sticks out way too far imo.

    Nothing wrong with that. Looks spot on to me :)

    New 182 Trophy owner #175

    Really? I think the original peashooter exhaust looks way too small for the cut outs in the bumper. I couldn't wait to get rid of mine and swap it for a Yozza. I think it looks so much better with larger exhaust tips. The op' s exhaust looks too low ...

    Why is this worth so much?

    Someone with too much money and not alot of sense lol. Did they tell you what the £3.5k was spent on?

    Heeeeelp pleeeaaase - 2010 RS Cup Clio

    Bolton to Malpas ( Birchdown Autos) is only about 1hr 15mins away. Get it booked in with them. They're always busy so you might have to wait a couple of weeks. Take it to a Renault dealership and you probably won't be any nearer but £££'s lighter. If you phone them they might give you a bit of...

    Detailing Chat & Questions Thread

    I use dlux on my Yozza exhaust tips. Before I used to have to get the autosol and 000 wire wool out, now I just literally wipe the tips with a microfibre cloth every now and then and it shines like new, takes seconds.

    So you're all sorted now with shocks from Kam racing? There's not alot you can do really about incurring higher postage costs living so far away.

    Good luck. Hope you get sorted with Kam racing, they're the ones I'd go with if possible. Eurocarparts are good for alot of things but I'd be reluctant to buy suspension parts from them in case they are wrong.

    Maybe try Kam racing. https://www.kamracing.co.uk/car-tuning/renault/renault-clio-mk2/suspension.html?product_category_sub=4955&product_car_model_new=

    Ahhh I see. You've spoken to renaultpartsdirect over the phone and they said no, I take it you've tried through Renault in SA ? I'd just be a bit wary myself that these shocks are 1*2 spec and not just bog standard mk2 shocks.

    Never heard of anybody using those shock absorbers before. Why not stay with standard shocks? They're only £35 each from renaultpartsdirect.

    Why is this worth so much?

    Well over priced imo. £3500 overhaul? I'd be interested to know what exactly was done for that money. Why would you spend that then sell it a few months later?

    172 exhaust fitting kit (manifold to cat)- DIY?

    The standard cups will definitely need drilling to make the holes a bit bigger. I'm not sure off the top of my head what size. If you have any small engineering firm locally it might be worth asking if they could make you a couple out of stainless. I'm sure they wouldn't charge you much.

    172 exhaust fitting kit (manifold to cat)- DIY?

    I don't have any of those stainless end caps left i had made and I don't work there anymore. All the other parts can be bought from eBay from the links I posted. You should be able to re-use the springs as they seem to be the part that don't rust.

    172 Insurance young driver

    Adrian Flux aren't what they used to be. I've been with them nigh on 20 years and this will most definitely be the last time I insure with them. And you don't get any discount being on Cliosport even though they might say you do.

    Get your wheel bearings from here. Renault use SNR bearings . I had 2 fitted a few months ago and they're spot on. https://m.buycarparts.co.uk/snr/1928691

    wiper arm removal

    There's no need to be knocking s**t out of it lol. As said above. Give them a good soaking in wd40 first. Then get yourself one of these gear pullers from Halfords, it cost about 9 quid. A good tip that @Darren S said and it does makes it easy to pull the arms off is to lift the actual wiper...

    Decent 182 for under £1500-2000 ?

    You'll also have to factor in if the belts need doing , around £700 or thereabouts.

    182 aux belt / steering clunking noise

    The pump didn't need changing . A local garage near me changed the alternator and had broken the tensioner and refitted the aux belt wrong causing the power steering pump to stall, so not spinning all the time. New aux belt kit fitted and everything is working as it should now. Maybe check...

    Clio 172 ph2 brake upgrade

    Brembo discs front and rear are fine. Pads are more of a personal choice, a bit like tyres. Everybody has their favourites. Front pistons just push in. Crack the bleed nipple, I just use my thumbs. Rear pistons wind in clockwise. Use a screwdriver or flat bar. As Oss said above. George is the...
