    Another one! (But it’s a 197 this time)

    I remember going to see a nimbus 197 cup on black speedlines when they were new in the dealers showroom, I was only 18 at the time and I remember thinking it was the coolest thing I've ever seen! They have aged well!

    Please help!

    People fit the mk3 recaros into the mk2, so essentially you are looking to do the reverse, find out what they do and see if there is a solution! I've never tried either unfortunately

    406 Coupe brake callipers with 172/182 discs

    As a above, standard setup is fine, the old 406/MK1 frs/fiat coupe turbo calipers weren't actually that great and are not as light as the 197 style ones. They do however just bolt straight onto your hub which is nice lol

    GAZ Golds and a rattle from the rears

    I had this exact issue on a twingo which runs the same setup as a MK2 Clio, AP coilovers, rattle from the rear, I switched the top mounts, bump stops, was over everything with a fine comb, couldn't get to the bottom of it. Swapped the rear dampers for Apex ones and the noise disappeared I was...

    Advice on brake bleeding process for 182 [with ABS]

    Snapon should do the abs bleed sequence as I've done it on an autel with no issues. When I built my van I set it up from dry, 4 litres of fluid thru it still couldn't get a pedal, another litre with the rstuner bleed sequence and it was good as new.

    Any PC gurus on here?

    Is the motherboard standoffs fitted? Had a similar issue I was looking at for someone else and that was the cause, it was shorting out on the case

    Belts and service before selling?

    Given the milage I would sell without the belts. That's probably more likely to be the sort of car people are buying for a cheap toy rather than people looking for a minter/investment etc (no disrespect to your car, I'm sure it's as good as you say) that then leaves it open to people looking for...

    Track suspension around £1000?

    Worth noting, I see a lot of people choosing bilstein b14 due to the name these days, I went thru 2 pairs of rear dampers in 12 months/1500 miles with only light road use, bilstein did swap them under warranty, but the fronts also looked like they had come from the titanic after this same period!

    Non 172/182 shells - are they the same?

    Only an issue if your young I suspect, I'm under £200 a year for mine

    Non 172/182 shells - are they the same?

    Identical shells if you get one without a sunroof, myself and @aldo_87 have done a couple of reshells with ours, much better condition shells on the non RS cars now. As brigsy says, only worth it if it's a long term project so future resale isn't a concern

    The availability on genuine brakes from Renault right now is pants, my Mrs had genuine discs and pads for her 2021 Clio on order for 2 months before cancelling - unreal!

    Mk4 pioneer install

    your unit is probably designed to replace a media nav system which is more like a traditional head unit behind the screen

    Hybrid Clio subscription. Is it worth it??

    Mental IMO, if you had that sort of monthly payment to put out then id do what my Mrs does. buys a brand new Clio DCI every 2 years, she took her first one over 2 years HP with a massive £500+ payment every month, then at 2yrs old traded it, used its value as deposit and took the balance over 2...

    Home Broadband Recommendations

    For me the actual product is fantastic, I've had broadband with them for 20yrs or so and in that time have only had a 2 day outage due to a modem failure. The customer service though is f**king terrible. I've only ever had to use it for issues with price rises but the full process is a...

    172 engine into a 1.2expression ?

    Why not? Rust is an issue on a lot of 172/182s now, the issue doesn't seem to exist on non RS cars for some reason (possibly the lack of skirts?!)
