Ohhhhhh, black 182, quite low, often parked in the road opposite the Kia place? I'm just up the road at Multimatic.

I'm actually from near Gt Yarmouth, but I do work in Thetford so you may well have seen it around. I work on Fison Way so the other side of town really.

Thanks chaps. I bought the car to use it so it doesn't get too much sympathy. Like you say, that's what it was made for. I might have felt a little guilty if it was a minter but, as it's a bit rough around the edges, I'm happy to abuse it. I am curious to see what it would be like on track...

Thanks. Yeah was a good day, need to do another!

As I'm relatively new here, I thought I'd post some pictures of my 172 Cup. I didn't actually have any up until the weekend, but a friend of mine took a few whilst on a track day at Snetterton last Sunday. Some of you might well recognise the registration number, as the previous owner was a...

Yes! Injector change made a big difference, idles much better and no more toxic fume warning light flashing. Still not sure it's perfect but it's a lot better. Going to replace the other two old injectors at some point too. In other news, did a track day at Snetterton yesterday and she...

I ended up buying one from ECP, fitted it last night. Not driven it much since, but it appears to be idling better. It looked like number two was quite new, so I guess that has already been replaced at some stage. The others all looked pretty old though, so I guess were original. Will see how...

Do you have a link to those? Had a quick look but couldn't find them!

does sound that way. Plugged a friend's ODB reader into it and it said misfire on cylinder three. What kind of job is it to do the injector?

And another update! I was driving it earlier and when I accelerated from low revs in third gear at light throttle and it had a big cough. Went ok after that but just stuttered once. Anyway, when I got home I changed the plugs, leads and coil pack. Whilst it hasn't made any difference in...

Sorry, bit of a delay. Just to update things a bit here. I borrowed the coil pack from a friend's 172 for a couple of days and it didn't make any difference to how the car ran. When I removed mine, I did notice that it was quite badly cracked, and there was evidence of corrosion, so I've...

As I say, plugs and things are on the list, as they're easy and are service items anyway so, without knowing when they were last done, changing them is probably not a bad idea. On the coil pack and lead fronts, what is the deal with new ones? Presumably buying from Renault is going to see my...

1st lambda has already been changed, but that didn't make any difference unfortunately. Plugs have been ordered, not leads though. I was thinking of doing them, as I don't know when they were last done, so it's probably not a terrible idea, but not really sure what to go for with those.

Plugs-wise I've ordered some from a Renault dealer as I got them for a decent price. They're the NGK Platinum ones that people seem to talk about in threads I've seen. Is it easy to test the injectors? I should also add that I plugged a friend's RS Tuner into the car and it didn't come up with...

Hello guys and gals. New to the forum and have a question. I've done some searching on this, but so far not managed to find anything that quite matches my symptoms. My '53 Clio 172 Cup seems to suffer from a rather poor idle, enough to make the car shake quite badly at times. Generally the car...
