my personal preference is a Piper on the 182. davesrealgood posted some pics a couple of days ago of his

it's high temp paint, no primer needed (done that before, it doesn't go hard LOL) de-greased in the part washer, then a wire brush, blast off with brake cleaner, then a few coats of paint

1155s are closest equivalent to ds2500s. Good pads

it's an oil catcher/soak-away if it's come loose just bin it

yes of course

the difference is only one heat range so wont notice on the vast majority of cars. Go for the 5's

slacken the gearbox mount, the engine will move over about a half inch. Re-tighten the mount, then drop the engine down low so it's almost on the subframe. Should be able to get to the bolt with a swan neck spanner or a socket on a small breaker bar. I've never got a ratchet in there

oh right, well in that case it's probably worth it if you have things like fuel rails and linkage already

bumper off is the easiest way

no, only an SF manifold Jenvey will do you an adapter though, but you're better off sticking with SF bodies IMO

it's 118.80+vat, so £139.59 full retail from renault for the kit something weird to take note of, JUST the tensioner on it's own is over £140 if you order separates rather than a kit

I'll PM you, can't put prices here

idler on it's own is ~£46. Depending on when other work has been done or is due, a new aux belt and tensioner kit would probably be the most sensible option while it's apart

I've driven a 1 litre corsa, wowomg the brakes were w**k LOL Looks like you got a decent ATW figure at least. Graphs would be interesting to see :)

ah, in that case it DOES have the lower idler. In which case you need it looking at as soon as possible really, if that fails it could chew up the aux belt and do a lot of damage to the engine

cup doesn't have a lower idler. Would need to have a look/listen to say really but could be a cambelt idler

6ft ish. Clio driving position is pish (mk1 and mk2), the wheel is too high by a good couple of inches. Mk1 seats are SOOO much better than mk2 though

it's approx £46 from renault off the top of my head.

first phone was a philips C12 on BT cellnet PAYG, like a few others. Was a sack of s**t and wouldn't send texts so I got an 8210 on contract. Epic little phone, I was so cool

lots of options, using both new and used parts 172 cup setup, about £450 for eveything new inc alternator, or get it from a breaker. Also need to mod or change one PAS pipe Laguna 1.8 8v (maybe 2 litre also) essentially the same as the cup, but uses older style wiring on the alternator...

the mk1 clio does, but the mk2 uses springs

i'd think a stretched cable would be the most likely and most obvious thing to look at first

err i think you've got that the wrong way round. 75w80 is everywhere and cheap, 75w90 costs more, approximately double actually. 90 is also what Agency Transmissions say to use

those things are like pea shooters. bloody aweful

you're about 30 miles north of me lol

i've seen loads of 182s that they're blocked or breaking down. No 172s though.

I'd have to double check autodata when i'm in the workshop, but i think that's 3.1 litres

be easiest to find the leak if you let it dry off overnight actually. Coolant normally dries kind of white and furry or crystalised so that should lead you to the leak.
