    Clio Manual Anyone?

    Do you mean the standard car manual that shows you all the switches , instrument panel etc ...... ? If so there are 2 . One's a standard manual that you get with mk2 Clios , then there's an additional 14 page manual you get if you have a Sport . I don't think I've ever seen an online manual...

    Bought a 182. What's up with the fuel?!

    20 quid doesn't get you very far at all these days , especially if you like a spirited drive .

    brake fluid reservoir

    It is strange that it's melted . It's not like the reservoir is directly next to the exhaust manifold . Maybe someone will come along later and say that they've had a similar experience . I've just never heard of it happening before . When you change it , just monitor it and see how you go .

    brake fluid reservoir

    No they don't have a heat shield around the reservoir . It's the first time I've ever heard of one melting before with heat from the exhaust . I suppose you could always make one though if you needed to .

    OEM Looking Sunflower

    I like it with the original black side strips . It just breaks the colour up nicely .

    litres left accuracy

    I just checked mine after i read your post , it had 8 litres left . I've just put in 32 litres and now it's showing 43 litres . So going by that it's not very accurate at all .

    What gasket for a clio 182? help!! Exhaust blowing

    In my opinion it's a better clamp the the original Renault one , it's alot thicker and stronger . On your Decat or Cat , both should have the same " Olive joint " , that's just a thick round part on the end Cat , it sits inside the centre section which is flared . The clamp fits over both the...

    What gasket for a clio 182? help!! Exhaust blowing

    That's not mine in the pic , it's one I've stolen . But yeah , that's the correct fitting kit . I don't think it's fitted right though , having looked at the pic closer . The dimpled washer should be between the spring and decat flange . If you do a bit of a search on here you'll see some...

    What gasket for a clio 182? help!! Exhaust blowing

    Like i said before , the mesh gasket is quite big . The 2 flanges , one on the manifold and the one on the decat or Cat don't meet up when you bolt them together . There is always quite a large gap , that's how it's designed , probably to allow some slight movement . You can actually see the...

    Dodgy fitting bonnet

    Does it look like the bonnets bent , is there any physical evidence ? There are 2 round black rubber stops , one on either side , just behind the headlight as you can see in the pic . These can be screwed up or down to help the bonnet sit better . It might be worth trying that .

    172 Handbrake Cable

    Well if the one you bought off ebay is the one for the passenger side you'd be better off getting the drivers side from Adam and replacing both now you've got it .

    172 Handbrake Cable

    Handbrake cables are sided , one is longer than the other. Sounds like they might have sent you the wrong side ? You'd have been better off messaging Adam from Renault Wolverhampton on here . You won't find any cheaper and delivery is usually very quick ...

    What gasket for a clio 182? help!! Exhaust blowing

    The mesh gasket is quite thick , make sure you've put it in the right way round , it's slightly curved so it sits inside the Cat or Decat pipe , whichever you're using . This is the manifold to Cat kit from Renault . It's a bad design , the olive joint , lots of people have the same problem were...

    Sanding after primer?

    No need to sand the colour coat , 2 or 3 colour coats should be enough , just lacquer it a few hours later after the final colour coat.

    Sanding after primer?

    I'd use a fine wet n dry , something like an 800 grit or even 1200 , especially if the primed surface is already quite smooth .

    Sanding after primer?

    Yeah , sand the primer then wipe down with some IPA ( isopropyl alcohol ) or panel wipe making sure the surface is clean and grease free .

    Low mileage 04 182 19k!

    How can it be sat " pumping " dirty oil round the engine ? :S I'd still go with a car on 19k and minimal service opposed to one that that's done 119k with a shed load of service history . If the price is right , get a " Full service " with both belts , spark plugs etc ..... sorted :D And we've...

    Closest paint colour for the anthracite 182 alloys?

    Autopaints in St. Helens are supposed to be very good by all accounts from what I've read on here for making Anthracite Ixell 205 110 paint . http://auto-paint.co.uk/carpaint/

    Low mileage 04 182 19k!

    Personally , if i was looking for a 2nd hand car I'd rather have one that's done 19k opposed to one that's done 119k . So it might have only had one or maybe two services , not 10 and 2 belt changes . Does that make it a bad car ? Imo , no . It basically hasn't even done enough miles to be...

    De-cat & Engine Light on

    From my own personal experience , when i decatted my Yozza the emissions light came on after a couple of days , i reset it with my code reader and it never came back on again in the next 12 months . You can reset it or leave it , either way , it doesn't affect the performance of the car .

    Corrosion on discs?

    I'm not sure which ones are the correct ones . You'd have to measure the original ones . Bigg red also sell them . It seems to be the place most people buy their stuff from for refurbishing their calipers . http://www.biggred.co.uk/onlinestore.php

    Corrosion on discs?

    As others have said , those discs are cream crackered . The thing that would concern me is , the inside face of the disc is so rusty as in the pic yet you say the outside face of the disc looks normal and the pads have plenty of meat left on them . It looks like your caliper might be a bit...

    182 cruise control

    I'm not 100% certain my answer is correct . But I'm pretty sure I've read about this problem before and it was something about the rocker switch for the cruise / speed limiter being faulty . If you do a search maybe you'll be able to find out more info . There are always people selling things...
