    MK2 Clio front led side light bulbs.

    Ive tried loads of different led sidelights over the years. These are by far the brightest, whitest I've used. Can't send a direct link from eBay on my phone. Have a look for these.

    Decat fitted engine light flashing

    Usually when you fit a decat and the light comes on it's a constant light not flashing and doesn't affect performance. Sounds to me like the lights flashing for a different reason. I've certainly never heard of it putting your car into limp mode.

    You forgot the Cillit Bang ;)

    Returning to my Autoglym roots

    You must have been doing it wrong if it marred your paintwork 😜 keep it well lubricated and you can't go wrong. So much easier than messing about with a tiny bit of clay that you will inevitably drop on the floor at some stage 😉

    Returning to my Autoglym roots

    @AndyPembs182 . If you want ease of use, try a farcella G3 clay mitt. Piece of piss to use, takes no time at all to clay your car. Use it after you've washed your car , keep the paintwork wet and there's no chance of marring the paintwork . I know the cleaning gurus will be screaming nooooooo.o_O

    Outside temperature sensor

    I think, from what I've read that different models have the nipple on different sides . I'd be looking at why yours on the offside doesn't work rather trying to change sides . Like I said there could be a break in the wire.

    Outside temperature sensor

    Don't know about your 1.2 expression but on my 182 there is only 1 nipple and it's under the passenger side wing mirror. Maybe you have a break in the wire?

    172 heater

    Yours looks to have all the right bits but just looks an untidy mess. I changed my 182's pollen filter a couple of days ago and this is what mine looks like.

    Fuel additives/cleaners or premium fuels?

    I've had my 182 since new and it's always been run on V power or Optimax as it was back then except for 3 occasions when I needed petrol and couldn't find a shell garage. The past couple of years I've been adding half a bottle of Redex petrol cleaner every couple of months. Whether either of...

    Hot and Cold Problems

    It might help if you say what model 2009 car you have. When the heater resistor pack gave up on my 182 i had no speed control of the fan , it was either on or off. You can get them off eBay for about 12 quid. I'm assuming your car will have a similar resistor pack. As for your air con I haven't...

    New joiner - Clio 182 buying advice

    Had a few MOT fails and lots of advisories. A few mentioning high emissions and 1 engine management light. Doesn't sound like a cared for example in my opinion.

    Door seals for Mk2 5 door

    I doubt dealers will have them now and if they do they'll probably cost an arm and a leg. Why not put a post in the wanted section.

    Front shocks

    Ahh I see. You're right . For some reason the Sachs dampers does say 52mm on Autodoc and onlinecarparts. Maybe it's worth contacting them to see if there is an error in their advert.

    Why not use original parts? They're cheap enough and on sale on www.renaultpartsdirect.co.uk

    Bonnet catch cable route ??

    Same question from me. Just had the alternator replaced so they've had the bumper off. Now the bonnet catch doesn't always work. It looks like the cable is hanging down under the bumper. I can't remember off the top off my head but I always thought it ran just under the slam panel , not low...

    Brake Disc removal tool

    Caliper off , BIG hammer , that'll sort it. The spacer washer should be between the hub and brake disc itself , flat face towards the car.

    Best tyres for Clio 182 road use?

    The reason I switched to the Avons was because of you and Stevem rating them ;-)

    Best tyres for Clio 182 road use?

    I am the first owner of my 182 , had it since February 2006 with 8 miles on the clock and it definitely came with the same tyres on the front and rear.

    Best tyres for Clio 182 road use?

    No it wasn't. 182's originally came with Michelin PE2's and would have had the same load rating on front and rear. I've been an advocate of Uniroyal Rainsports for the last few years. Good tyre in the dry, fantastic when its wet. Just the wear rate is pretty poor . I was only getting about 5k...

    182 Alternator problem , again

    There's definitely no signs of any rubbing on the belt , the dark patch on the spring is just a bit of s**t.

    182 Alternator problem , again

    More alternator problems. My 182 has been sorted and garages for the past 9 months. First of all it wouldn't start , put an almost new battery on and it fired up straight away. The only problem was it wasn't charging. I could see the connection on the alternator had a fair bit of corrosion so...

    Front wheel bearing 182 FF

    So this is for a cup packed 182 ? Just want to check before I order them. Only £32.82 each compared to £66.00 from Renault.

    I ran 32 on the fronts in very wet conditions for the first few days and was impressed. I dropped down to 30 yesterday and only done about 10 miles but in dry weather, feels like there is plenty of grip. I'm definitely happy I opted for the Avons after years of using the Rainsports.

    Engine bay bracket

    It's for a hoist to lift the engine out of the car. Nothing missing , that's how they look. https://www.cliosport.net/threads/what-is-this-bracket-for-do-i-need-it.673484/

    I've never had a tyre ever do that sort of mileage lol . The steering feels more direct now with the Avons. They're on 32psi at the minute on the fronts , I'll drop it down later and try 30 . I wouldn't have bought them if I hadn't seen you and @imprezaworks sing their praises . Cheers for that ?

    Just a little update for those who might be interested. I had 2 Avon ZV7's fitted yesterday . The Rainsports were loosing traction when setting off , 6000 miles in and down to about 2mm tread ?My very early impressions of the Avons after 110 miles in wet , rainy weather is they're very good . I...
