    Rail above airbox

    Hi all, Has anyone got a picture of the way the rail above the 182 airbox connects at the front end? I’ve put everything together after some work on it today and it doesn’t ‘look’ right. Cheers.

    Likely to be the starter?

    Got the endoscope down there to check on the starter. Surprisingly looked quite tidy and the heatshield is definitely in place. Given how tricky it was to use an endoscope in the confines of that space, 100% confirmed that I wouldn't attempt to swap the starter out myself. The garage can have...

    Likely to be the starter?

    Didn't get to use the endoscope today as it needed a recharge, so most likely tomorrow. Having swapped the pink relays over for testing yesterday, I gave them a once over from the little bit of oxidisation that some of them had on their pins. Will get those slotted back in tomorrow too.

    Likely to be the starter?

    Will get the endoscope camera down near the starter at dinner - see if I can see anything obvious.

    Likely to be the starter?

    I assume it's worth disconnecting the battery first before putting my hand anywhere down there.... ;) Check on the relays earlier and swapped G with E. Made no difference unfortunately. The retaining clip for the relay cover snapped off as well when I was taking the cover off. Not sure if that...

    Likely to be the starter?

    Thanks for all the suggestions everyone - aiming to get the starter swapped with Nightingales as soon as they have availability. As far as I'm aware, the heatshield should still be in place as I've certainly never moved it. I believe from the engine rebuild pics I had at AW Motorworks five...

    Likely to be the starter?

    I've touched on this in other posts, but I'm getting a weird non-crank issue when the car is warm and I go to start it. Absolutely nothing - lights, fans and dash comes on fine, but will not attempt to spin over. First thing in the morning - it fires up no issue. If I leave it at work all day...

    Control

    Such a brilliant game. Wish I could forget it all, just to enjoy it through once more!

    Sudden misfire!

    Might check mine again. It randomly behaved weird at a set of lights a few weeks back - almost like an injector failed, but had no warning lights on the dash. Never came back afterwards - but you've got me thinking to check the coil pack - especially as it's so easy to get to.

    Dimma Clio 1.8 16v 😍

    I'm old. Witnessed (experienced and got involved to some extent) with the cringe of the Max Power era 90s. Dimma kits looked s**t back then and they look absolute gash in 2025. Hideous things.

    Inlet plenum O-ring

    That's the one - cheers!

    Inlet plenum O-ring

    Hi all, Does anyone have the part number for the O-ring for a 182 inlet plenum please? Cheers, D.

    Exhaust bumper trim - removal from a 182

    Hi all, Was going to remove my exhaust trims from the rear bumper and give them a spruce up. They look a bit crap and faded now. Do they simply pull off in a certain direction, or are they attached with clips, etc? Thanks.

    The 'I work in I.T' thread

    The best one I had was a quick blat up the M6 to our Carlisle depot. Their main network switch had gone ape - so up there I went, with a new replacement. Never been there before - so called the depot manager before setting off, telling him that I was on my way. Rocks up at the depot, laptop bag...

    182 Titanium Yorkshire B Road Project

    If you message one of the mods (people with green names) - they can change it for you.

    [Next Gen/PC] GTA V

    Downloaded it again at the weekend with the aim to complete it (finally) on the PC. The Enhanced Edition that only came to the PC earlier this month, now actually makes it less console-centric and more adaptable to what PC players are used to. Rockstar being Rockstar, there are some weirdities...

    help!

    Do you have a connection to the car? Otherwise, it seems a lot of effort to rescue a 27-year-old Clio. Granted, I'd probably do the same, if it was mine! I would have thought that the insurance company would simply write it off. Is this why I assume, you're not going through them?

    TDC Sensor

    Nice one mate. Supposedly a bit of a pig of a job to swap it out, isn't it?

    TDC Sensor

    Think mine has started with this issue last week. Starts up every time when cold - no issues. Once warm, it doesn't even crank over - complete nothingness from the starter or anything. I get the dash lights and fans kicking in, but no attempt to fire up. No codes, no EML, nothing untoward...

    Assetto Corsa EVO

    Liking this more and more. Had a full field of AI cars and put myself to the back of the grid in an Escort Cosworth. Selected dynamic weather too. Managed about 3 laps in and then it started to drizzle. Didn't upset the car much, but then the rain got heavier. Definitely noticed that the...

    Clio 182 Purge Valve

    Hi Mark, Pretty sure that you can have this coded-out and removed. https://cliosport.net/threads/purge-control-solenoid-valve-2005-trophy.844156/

    Golf games?

    I liked 2K23 - but have to give it special mention as having some of the best title music I think that I've heard in a game. The music in 2K21 was good - but 2K23 raised the bar quite significantly.

    Earth cable - what do I actually need?

    Silly question (again, apologies as electrics are not my thing) - is it worth adding some dielectric grease onto the connectors of a replacement earth cable. Or does it not work that way?

    Earth cable - what do I actually need?

    Nice one mate - thanks for that.

    Earth cable - what do I actually need?

    Cheers Chris. I assume that the two colours are purely for fitter reference and that there's no actual difference between the cables?

    Earth cable - what do I actually need?

    Hi all, I seem to be going down various rabbit holes of details regarding getting a replacement earth cable - the one that is situated behind the arch liner of the nearside front, attached to the gearbox. I cannot find a Renault OEM part number for one and have seen posts online that say...

    182 rear quarter panel replacement - Part 2

    Mine aren't the best either tbh - some parts have even took on a purple-tinge to them, presumably through UV damage.

    Assetto Corsa EVO

    I think it might be right to say that the Lotus Emira has the most compliant arse-end in any of the cars so far. Was great to drive that around Brands earlier. The Golf on the other hand. Show it a corner and the car responds with.... Literally pot luck if you have understeer, control, bit...

    182 rear quarter panel replacement - Part 2

    As per @JamesBryan below - that was pretty much the figure I paid when I had the drivers side done. Quite a bit of fabrication for that too - so I'm hoping the nearside is a bit less labour intensive. @Matt Cup - you can, but they are silly expensive for what they are. I checked (admittedly...

    Cookie consents and web tracking getting out of control

    Something has to change in the general browsing of Internet pages - surely? I'm trying to make my way into learning basic SQL - reading online various steps of database creation, tables, queries, that sort of thing. Yet every, single, website is riddled with the BS comment "We value your...
