I bought my first 172 new in Nov 2001 then bought a new 182 in Feb 2006. In this old thread from 2005 there's talk of £160 and £165. I don't ever remember if being that cheap for either of them :openmouth: http://www.cliosport.net/threads/clio-182-road-tax-cost.60454/

I might be wrong , but I think it was about £205 .

Just try bleeding as normal . It might just be air in the caliper you refitted and the brake line . You've got nothing to lose. If you do get some brake fluid through , make sure you keep topping up as you bleed.

I don't know if there are any Renault Specialists near to you ? If you take it to a Renault dealership don't bank on them finding the fault first time or ever plus they'll ass rape you for cost .

I had all those lights come on just before my alternator packed up. That's quite a comprehensive list of things you've had done , and costly . You're probably going to have to take it to a specialist Renault garage for them to check it out .

I stand corrected about the button lol. But that's how you override the speed limiter by pressing hard on the accelerator @ccreedy

Under your accelerator pedal is for when you have your speed limiter set to on , if you depress is i.e. put your foot hard down it overrides the speed limiter.

+1 . That's all I've ever used . One man operartion . I use one of these , cut in half with some tubing in the middle to extend it . One end on the bleed nipple , the end with the rivet into an old jar with a bit of old brake fluid in . Pump the pedal half a dozen times or so , top up the brake...

I'm all for saving money . Just so long as the parts " fit" and are at least as good a quality as the oem parts . I've seen quite a few people buy none oem handbrake cables only to find that they don't fit :openmouth: so it seems like alot of faffing about when they end up having to buy genuine...

They're still available on Renaultpartsdirect. I don't know why people are pissing about , trying to save a few quid buying none oem cables to find they don't fit . Just buy genuine parts and then they know that they'll fit . The ones I bought from Renault weren't colour coded , they were both a...

Like @JB21 says . Porbably a crack in the ABS ring . I had the same symptoms and replaced it with this . You have to make sure it has 44 teeth. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RENAULT-CLIO-ABS-RING-44-TEETH-2002-ONWARDS-/170533790204?hash=item27b49b21fc:g:EogAAOSwX~dWtKLQ

This one from Halfords , but its not as high amps . http://www.halfords.com/motoring/bulbs-blades-batteries/car-batteries/halfords-lead-acid-battery-hb063-3-yr-guarantee Eurocarparts . It's 5mm longer than the Varta and again , not quite as powerful...

It's best in the Varta range . Comes with a 5 year guarantee.

The size you want is 207mm ( just under 8 1/4 inches) x 175mm x 175 mm . https://www.tayna.co.uk/Type-076-Varta-Silver-Dynamic-Car-Battery-P3131.html

Oooops :openmouth:

Use some mole grips to remove them if they're knackered and replace all 4 with stainless bleed nipples ...

Like you say . There's a fine line between it being hard to pump through if you only just crack it open to having it actually come out through the threads . When it does that I try and turn it back ever so slightly so it doesn't go all over the calipers. A bit of trial and error .

How many times have you pumped the pedal ? Is there a noticeable difference in the pedal feel when the bleed nipples open compared to when the nipple is tightened up ? I've never had this problem myself and know sod all about the abs unit other than if you do have an air lock in there then it...

Just a quick google . This any help to you ? https://support.cyberghostvpn.com/hc/en-us/articles/213356289-What-to-do-if-you-can-t-connect-to-CyberGhost-resp-single-countries-or-servers- https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/299357/how-to-reset-tcp-ip-by-using-the-netshell-utility

Sounds like the same problem I had , was the abs ring . I got my local garage to fit one of these and it's been spot on since. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RENAULT-CLIO-ABS-RING-44-TEETH-2002-ONWARDS-/170533790204?hash=item27b49b21fc:g:EogAAOSwX~dWtKLQ Uniroyal Rainsport 3's . Fantastic tyre in the...

Yeah after you press expert button scroll through the options with the satellite wheel on the stalk , you'll see Bass , Treble etc ........ until it says " Loud , if yours says " on " then use the + or - on the front of the head unit to change it.

Took the car to the garage but they're pretty mowed out with work at the minute so I've left it there . He rang the place who supply the alternators and I was listening to him on the phone . They'll come and pick the alternator up when he's taken it off and they'll test it . I showed him the...

Cheers mate for the advice :up: Just checked after being left overnight and the voltage was 12.46 with the engine running 14.46. The battery and stop light stayed on maybe a couple of seconds longer than notmal then went out . I'll take it to the garage now and see what they say .

Cheers for the advice , its much appreciated @flebay . But I'm not gonna have 24 hours before I can check it again . I need to get it sorted asap . I'll have to get it to the garage in the morning and see what he says . It's just pissed me off a bit that it's gone again after only 4 weeks...

Just been out and checked the battery . Bearing in mind it hasn't run since 2.30pm except for the quick try i did when I just got home and ran it for literally 30 seconds and its showing 12.49V .

Not had any battery issues since it was fitted 4 weeks ago. I just got home ( on foot ) and tried to start the car and it started ok . This afternoon when I was supposed to go and pick my g/f up I literally got a few hundred yards down the road and the battery and stop light came on , so I...

@flebay . Why would car run fine for 4 weeks then suddenly the batteries not holding a charge anymore? @bashracing . You mean the red cable on the front of the alternator? Thats looks in good condition , no corrosion whatsoever. You reckon I could have bad luck twice in 4 months ? The guy who...

. . I don't know . There's local company that reconditions them called Ellisons and they come highly rated , on my receipt it says EL1 so I'm assuming they supplied the part . Is it possible they fitted the wrong rating 75 instead of 110 amps ? Would that cause a problem ? Or maybe even the...

I had an alternator fitted at a local garage back in November. They came recommended by somebody on here and have a good reputation. Fast forward to February 8th , that alternator started pouring smoke from it and all the lights came on the dash. The following day I got the car towed to the...

Mine does the same . I think thats normal, I know what you mean , its annoying lol
