I'm guessing it because he's got a 1.2 with an f4r in it. I was under the impression the filter was in the tank and can only be changed by changing the tank?

front lambda sensor can cause poor economy. but at the end of the day, youve bought a 2 litre hot hatch, its never going to yield amazing mpg. In my old 182 if i sat at about 65 on the motorway i could just about get 42mpg according to the dash. going to work and back which was 3 mile each way...

not if youve got a good selection of tools its a fairly simple job. was on my 182 anyway, never tried it on a 1.2

The clutches on these last forever. Mine had about 80k on the clock when I changed my clutch to do my release bearing. The old clutch had not much wear at all. But as Dan said, when I put the new one in it was soo much lighter.

i would have thought you would just buy a 182 exhaust trim, i think ktec sell em http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?117649-Part-number-182-exhaust-trim

had this on mine, tried 3 different oils including elf and also changed the clutch and release bearing. turned out to be a bearing in the box.

2 nuts to unbolt cat from manifold and 2 bolts to release olive joint from centre section. Will all become clear when you get under the car.

Half way is where it should be at running temperature. F4r's do warm up quite fast. Its nothing to worry about as long as it doesn't go above half. The needle shouldn't drop to zero when it gets too hot though, I'd say you might be worth buying a new coolant temp sensor . only about 20 quid

I Told admiral about a panel filter in my old car and they wanted an extra 100 quid. Its a mod that does sod all for performance so why should it matter!

5w40 fully synthetic. Whichever is cheapest at the time

If you manage to get all 4 subframe bolts out without the nuts spinning then bottom is easier.

Sounds identical to the problem I had. It was not the release bearing, I gave it a try on the off chance it would be as a clutch kit was only about 100 quid and fairly easy to change. Turned out it was a bearing in the box. Get it refurbed, shouldn't cost much more than 200 I wouldn't have...

Had this on my old 182. Was a bearing inside the box. I initially thought it was the release bearing so changed the clutch kit and the issue was still there.

never looked at a 200 but when the rear damper was shagged on my 182 there was fluid weeping down the shaft from the damper.

I wouldn't have thought you'd save much getting it second hand because you still have to pay about 60 Euros to get the tuner unlocked to your car.

Could be worth trying some new oil but I wouldn't have thought they would do that as part or a service unless you ask them to. But after only 20k the box oil shouldnt need touching

Not read every post but I scanned though it, I see you said you are going for a decat pipe fitted. This is probably half your problem of why its not popping loud. Rs tuner overrun map specifically states do not use the map unless you have got a decat pipe.

right disconnect cat and remove put the olive joint clamp on the end of the adapter (joint end) and tighten it back up like you would if the cat was there wack it hard with a hammer (toward the front of the car obviously) keep wacking untill it comes out of the center section then slide...

long bit 100% goes up

not bad, what paint did you use? put the engine cover on and youl not be able to see the cam cover

Just had a quick look through my service book and can't see any mention of it. May have missed it though

As far as I know its not part of the service plan. I change mine every year when I do my engine oil, however it seems I wasted my time because my gearbox has developed a whine anyway.

what sealant is ok to use under the bolts?

Yeh I understand that. But I doubt it will devalue it by 700 quid, especially if the new owner has got the locking tools to do the change himself. My worry is that If I spend 700 quid I've not got on a new cam, aux and dephaser , knowing my luck I'll drop a valve a week later lol.

Christ, I didn't realise it was in the 700 area with a new dephaser. Mines due in December this year, only done 15k on the new belt too, I think I'll probably drive it till its time to get it changed and then sell up. Spending 700 on the belts is a lot on a car that's not worth much more...

Rotherham so nowhere near you lol.

Any ideas if they do a same day turn around so I could go down and have a day in Birmingham and drive the gearbox back with me in my other car?

ive seen this happen a lot on clios and turns out to be injectors. Is it something getting the injector cleaned would fix or is it usually a new injector job?

Looks good to me. Dont expect much noise though if your on The standard exhaust

My light used to come on with my decat but since I remapped with Rs tuner 3 years ago I haven't seen the light since
