If you have nothing to do for a week, check out my other thread from my 182 resto https://cliosport.net/threads/restoring-little-bluey-my-182-ff-cliosport-in-racing-blue.840322/ Might be some stuff in there to help you.

The track car thread?

It was some thread that 😂

North Yorkshire here. If you need any help, just drop me a pm. @Brigsy just down the road too.

Option 3.

Just a short post to say thank you to @Colin-S for a great buyer experience. A few weeks ago, I missed out on one of his previous items. I asked him to let me know if the sale fell through. Anyway, he dropped me a message last week to say he'd gotten another part in and kindly offered it to me...

It was wet but I was still trying. 💦

When you find it’s the weekend you’re away… At the Nurburgring… But then you realise you’ve never actually managed to get to one, so nobody gives a toss anyway.

Was there any sign of water around the fuse box area? Just thinking if it’s on a hill and the engine area is facing downwards, water could easily run down along the inner wing and into the bay. Long shot - It might still be fuel related as in the fuel pump relay - B in this image. Ultimately a...

I used to have my tips further in also, but I found it coated the tailgate and bumper with soot. On a black car, I guess it’s not as noticeable.

Looks lovely with those wheels. 🤔

Looks lovely that :love:

'Old out yer 'and’

They’re a work of art. Incredibly well designed and arguably the best systems available. Expensive but you get what you pay for. All 4 of my 182s have/had PMS systems. 1 with a decat, the other 3 with the sport cell 200. They have a unique sound. Cold start reversing out of my drive on tickover...

Could be fuel pressure. Dirty fuel pump? On its way out? A faulty O2 sensor would send the ECU incorrect fuel mixture information. Might also be carbon build up in the throttle body - sticking slightly. Won’t take long to check. Give it a clean up. Worth a try. My old 182 used to be...

Welcome 😀

Taxed for another year. £404 squids. Robbing b******s 🤬Happy new year everybody 😂

I meant to post a picture of the cap because it might help other 'non-techie' folks like myself. So, the top part of the cap actually separated from the body. When I was trying to twist it, the body wasn't moving at all, which meant it wasn't sealing properly. Been out again today and no...

Hope everyone had a good Christmas. Good news: I think I found the oil leak. Dodgy oil cap. I never noticed any oil before - the downside of having an engine cover, I guess - but I got the odd whiff of oil over the last few weeks and it obviously got a lot worse and spilled over into the...

My lads EP9 always had the edge on my 182 in straight line performance, but handled like a boat in comparison. Both stock. Booth cool cars.

It’s doable but you’ll need to cut around your carpets and cut into the dash. You’ll lose the glovebox. I couldn’t be arsed so stripped it right back. Lots of pics if you need them.

I iS rEAdY.

Not much to update really other than I've discovered a minor leak from the gearbox selector seal. It’ll need addressing sooner or later, as it’s only going to get worse. That said, it’s winter, and I just can’t muster the enthusiasm right now. I’ve got a stack of refreshed parts ready to fit...

I’ve restored a fair few of these now, and kits from Bigg Red won’t cost the earth. You’ll get them sorted for under a hundred quid including kits and paint. https://www.biggred.co.uk/renault-clio-mk-ii-bb_-cb_-1998-2004-2005-petrol-engine-vehicle-17869/catalogue/brkp-caliper-piston-kits Get...

The one in your post is correct. Here’s a pic of some spares I have to compare numbers. Genuine part number and OEM numbers are as follows: RH Front Caliper - P/N (7701205833) - OEM Mfr. TRW-Lucas P/N (BHW242) LH Front Caliper - P/N (7701205832) - OEM Mfr. TRW-Lucas P/N (BHW241

I'd have loved one of these when they were new as they drive so differently when they're factory, from one that's been messed around with. My insurance quote has just come back for my 182 with e-sure and it's £12.12 per month. My leased Sportage is £900 p.a. I can't get my head around it.

Definitely more engaging. Just keep your heater matrix intact, or at least the fans, in case you want to do winter trackdays.
