I'll second this, i bought my 182 about 2 years ago, apart from driving it about for the first year, i've never even managed to hoover it out due to kids, house maintenance, kids again, weather, etc etc etc! One day it'll get sorted :)

as it cant move at the moment it's been incorporated into the halloween decorations.....

As this has just popped up, im guessing the sills being in this state would be an MOT fail? how much would it be to get this fixed on both sides?

Think that's the job for tomorrow! Just seemed a weird place for a fuse! I'll strip it back a bit more and see if I can figure it out

I'm slowly trying to go through the Clio 182 I bought a few years ago and haven't really done much with since. On removing the gear stick surround (which of course has the alarm LED in) i noticed these wires have been altered and there is an inline fuse in these wires under the dash in the...

Is it possible you sat on the keys and unlocked it? i know it should lock again if nothing is opened but i've done this before, even came out once to the electric boot on my audi open as i'd sat on the key inside, i'm more careful these days but it probably still happens

@Digsey

brilliant, mines not in too bad a condition so that dye may just spruce it up a bit, thanks :)

Did you make the carpet sound deadening yourself or is this available somewhere? looks great!

just to close this off, took a second look at this and it turns out the end of one ht lead was cracked and another had decided to leave its rubber end (oo-er) around the spark plug so it probably didnt provide a proper seal. Just changed the coilpack and leads (they are combined) and it seems to...

so we're thinking injectors or leads/coilpack then?

leads are all on in the right order (they're numbered), nothing is trapped as far as i can see? could a dodgy seal on the inlet manifold cause this?

I need help with my 1.2, i recently replaced the rocket cover gasket as it was leaking oil over the exhaust and generally stinking up the place. Whilst i had it apart i also cleaned the throttle body and removed the pool of oil that collects in the inlet manifold on these d4f engines. after ive...

I think on mine if you turn in to auto then off twice quickly it beeps and activates/deactivates them? infact its a mk3, i have no idea sorry haha

It's possible to do the 1.2 clutch without dropping the subframe, by supporting the engine and moving it as far over as possible and then moving the gearbox the other way, then using "clutch alignment fluid" on the clutch and slipping it in the gap, there's just enough room. It's not for the...

these look like them? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RENAULT-CLIO-MEGANE-TRAFIC-DOOR-INTERIOR-TRIM-PANEL-RETAINER-CLIPS-7703077430-/131764309499?hash=item1eadc3cdfb:g:638AAOSwJQdW-EZz

I had a weird knock on my 1.2 for ages, it started doing it on a long journey and then would do it randomly, some days it'd be fine some days it'd knock, funnily when i jacked the car up to look for it, it would stop for a few days haha.. turned out to be my NSF wheel bearing, there was no...

I'd just push it down and put the bolts in then really, shouldn't be too hard to line up? as long as it all bolts together i'd say it was good. Be careful not to put tiny holes in the driveshaft gaiter if its touching the strut ive done that before haha

are both wheels off the ground? if not you'll be fighting the arb to line it up.

Passed its MOT yesterday with no advisories, Tester even commented on how well maintained it is mechanically so pretty chuffed with that! Also had the wheel alignment done after changing the tie rods etc, car feels like a brand new car now, previously it was skittish and the steering was notchy...

Yeah it wasn't really difficult, the nearside inner rod was on solid so took some swearing to get off but apart from that it was easy. I did the inners with a 32mm fan spanner not a proper tool, just moved the steering back and two to get better access, although mines a 1.2 so don't know how...

Just done both of my tie rods and ends as my steering was a bit off and tyres wearing on the outside. Tracking and MOT in the morning fingers crossed it'll pass! If not ill be back under it tomorrow haha

with these bulbs if i remember correctly http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/10-x-286-T5-MINIATURE-CAPLESS-WEDGE-CAR-DASHBOARD-DASH-LIGHT-BULBS-12V-1-2W-/351350846195?roken=cUgayN

First time entering this, just a phone photo as can't get near the PC right now. Entry

Finished it's service, oil filter, oil, plugs, air filter. And checked it all over ready for its MOT in a few weeks

Ok so i investigated a bit more today, the drain today was 80ma when i first tested it, i then turned the ignition on and then off, the drain changed to 130ma and stayed like this for over 30mins (thats how long i could be bothered to wait to see if it changed) If i remove F21 (5A fuse) from...

Changed the leaking thermostat, expansion bottle and coolant. Also remembered that I hate the spring clips on the hoses, getting the radiator bottom hose back on was a right kerfuffle! Must buy a proper tool to remove them next time! Anyway can you spot the difference?

Thanks for the help, im going to have another look at it tomorrow to see if i can narrow down which circuit is causing the drain as the 5A fuse is part of the central locking, diagnostic connector, multitimer and instrument panel circuits, all of which work but there must be something wrong with...

Sorry for thread revival but im having the same problem, the drain drops when i remove the 5A fuse, im guessing that circuit will have some drain as its part of the central locking and immobiliser but mine is currently 90mA on that circuit alone? Total drain is 130ma, is that enough to drain...

Stuck a new clutch in it after it decided to leave me stranded by the side of the road last week! Easier job than i thought just time consuming, also chucked a new aux belt on it as the other one looked tired. Clutch feels really light and smooth now, totally different to how heavy it was...
