    Clio 182 xenon lights

    They can be tricky to see the difference in some forms of light. Only in bright light are the differences clearly obvious. When I was trying to find a set for mine, even the sellers sometimes were unsure as to which ones they had. It’s a subtle difference, but a big improvement for me. I...

    Assetto Corsa Competizione

    Stumbled across this Google docs link for ACC. Some useful features in it - I didn’t know about the extended input option on the controls so that you can assign two controls to one input. One action for click, another for holding it down...

    My BG182 Clio Revamp

    My wife kindly added a finishing touch to my comment about the inlet. I think it breaks up the silver a bit.... :)

    Painting 182 interior door handles?

    I used the following three products. Got the primer and paint from Amazon and the acrylic from The Range as an afterthought. Plasti-kote 25001 400ml Primer - Black Plasti-kote 23101 400ml Premium Spray Paint - Matt Black Plasti-kote 24002 400ml Premium Spray Paint - Matt Clear Acrylic In...

    Painting 182 interior door handles?

    Fitted them in earlier. A big improvement, but not flawless by my (lack of) spraying skills! They started to get some dust on them within seconds it seemed, but at least they can be wiped with a cloth easily now. And yep - I'll activate the passenger air-bag again when I next get back in it. :)

    The £295k Impreza....

    It's a very weird predicament to be in with that. Even with money to burn - £300k for a car that although extremely nice, was simply a special model Scooby is a bit insane. And if you had £300k to blow on a car - would you really be looking at a rally-inspired 4-door saloon car? Surely for...

    172 / 182 oil pump mod worthwhileness & bleeding

    Have you had the sump off at all? My oil pickup was clogged with silicone when it had the engine rebuild recently. How/why/when that happened is anyone's guess - but in the past it looks like an oil seep has been plugged using silicone and that over time has been ingested by the pickup. How...

    Assetto Corsa Competizione

    I'll say again with ACC - the game itself is very impressive, but the audio I just don't know how they have got it so good. Watched a bit of the replay of that Alpine earlier and the tonal changes in the engine and small backfires and the over-run - just so realistic and not out of place. I...

    Petrol blue for sale on Facebook (if anyone is looking for one) NOT Mine

    Nearly ordered Petrol Blue on mine. But at a £1,200 option when the car itself only cost £12,200 - I stuck with the common Black Gold! :LOL:

    Assetto Corsa Competizione

    Bought the GT4 DLC last night but have only managed to have a quick practice this morning so far. Being the GT4 class, the whole sense of speed and acceleration has shifted down slightly and is far less frantic. Picked the Alpine of course and headed of around the full Brands Circuit. Looking...

    Boot-lock not working off the remote (182)

    I must have been just bloody lucky with mine then! :LOL: The one that went last September was the OEM part - and now its replacement has followed suit. No worries - I'll get another ordered. The biggest issue I have with it is getting that tail-gate plastic cover to line back up with the clips!

    Boot-lock not working off the remote (182)

    Right - this solenoid has gone again - each time it sounds like it's grinding gears when the car is locked/unlocked. I suspect the lovely black crown wheel at the end is gradually getting stripped by the motor gear beneath it. It was barely a tenner for the part back in October - but it worth...

    Cleaning sticky interior trim

    I’m just in the lacquer sealing phase of these. One coat on already - I’ll put another on later this evening.... https://www.cliosport.net/threads/painting-182-interior-door-handles.833501/

    Frayz's Inferno 182 - Back in the old flame

    Same here - better than the KTR tips on mine, I reckon.

    Cabasse auditorium difference

    I know that some thieves will take anything.... but to swap out your fuel tank for a pile of porridge oats? That's all a bit weird....?

    Cabasse auditorium difference

    I learn something new every day! Never knew some models had a speaker there - my certainly doesn't.

    Painting 182 interior door handles?

    Next step done. Went over them for a few minutes with a fine grit paper. Got rid of the last bits without any need for further chemicals. Plus, it keyed the plastic a little for the primer - even though it probably didn’t need it. Using the primer, in several light coatings, it certainly...

    JDM Imports - Canada

    Literally any car in that collection I’d be driving over into B.C with. I take it that you’ve done that many-a-time with it being on your doorstep? 😎

    Alternator replacement

    Not wanting to frustrate you more, but double-check and then double-check again. It took a Renault dealership three attempts to get the correct one for mine. Now they could have just been plain numpties and ordered a bin bag and a block of cheese on the first two attempts. But I got the...

    Painting 182 interior door handles?

    To be fair Mossy, I put them in a warm bucket of hot water and Fairy liquid mix and left for an hour. Came back with a sponge scourer and the result on the right was literally a couple of minutes of going over with the sponge. I'd say it's got rid of at 95%+ of the sticky crap that was on there...

    Noise while pulling away / low speed manoeuvring

    Does sound brake/calliper related. As @Conor L says - a simple temperature check might help track down the issue. Be careful though, I've done it in the past where my fingers got too close to a calliper and those things can get HOT. Alternatively - front wheel bearing perhaps? Not sure how they...

    New 182 owner

    Morning - and welcome aboard! Was a 182 something you were after a while, or a bit of an on-the-spot purchase? ;)

    Dash clock stopped working

    Is the clock off completely? Nothing at all on it? Mine faded at one side on the 182 - so that only half of the display was visible. With any form of backlight coming into the car itself, I couldn't see anything on there. A few months later, I ended up replacing the battery and instantly the...

    White 200 almost wiped out by van

    I don't see what's wrong? Roofbox = additional 168bhp. Surely we all know that?

    Wide boys

    I’ll give you that. The 306 doesn’t look ‘that’ bad as such - certainly a hell of an improvement over some 205 examples. I mean, does this come with a free retina transplant with the purchase? :sick: So a perfectly fine 205 GTi is wrapped up in this? Like planning a date with a classy model...

    Wide boys

    Well - that's me joining the ranks of Savile then. Absolutely detest Dimma kits. For comparison, the hacksaw job that Wayne and his mates do to his 1.1 Peugeot from stolen Ford Focus body panels - look as artistic as the Sistine Chapel. If one word sums up the worst of the peak of the Max...

    Is that standard ride height on 172 Cups? Looks like the arch clearance is prepped to enter the Paris-Dakar Rally.
