    Help! All lights are confused

    could be a sign of the UCH going duff but before you start looking at that check the earths, there is a large earth strap that runs from the gearbox to the body under the passengers side wheel arch, its usually very badly corroded and turned green!! I replaced mine a few weeks ago on my cup with...

    Thinking of viewing this 182 advice needed

    Is it black gold? There isn't many 53 plate 182s so where it is possible it could be a 172 with exhaust and wheels fitted

    Remap

    i like the look of the EFI parts map http://www.efi-parts.co.uk/index.php?productID=337 never used Bluefin on a performance car but both our DCi Clios are running them and couldn't be happier with them

    Advice on these 182s please

    http://www.cliosport.net/threads/trophy-prices-to-double.783856/ purely as an investment then the Clio, trophy or not is not the car to go after. But to enjoy owning something that you wont lose any money on and will probably gain a little, then not a bad move

    Is the Clio 197/200 a poor daily?

    ive just bought one as my new daily!!! I loved my old 200 as a daily when it worked but it was a Friday afternoon car, most unreliable piece of s**t in the world!

    Trophy Prices To Double ?

    Renault clio 2009 gt driver door indicator

    just clean them, and the prongs on the indicator unit with a small bit of sand paper, worse case scenario cut them off, strip back the wire and put some new ones on from an electrical shop/Halfords etc

    Trophy Prices To Double ?

    probably a good idea, mine is 100% standard with 50k but its needing an exhaust as its already on its 3rd standard one and after getting a quote a few weeks ago I'm really torn what to do with it!!! - my mrs will literally kill me and burry me and my Trophy, shes still a bit raw after I...

    drivers indicator flashes when drivers electric window is raised

    as per the title, if I put the drivers side electric window down, no issues, when I try and put it up the drivers indicator flashes (window still raises as normal) thought it was an earth issue but ive just last month put a new gearbox to chassis earth strap on and ive checked and cleaned up...

    Martin_172's Ultra Red 197 R27

    gearboxes don't stand up to people with no mechanical sympathy, if they are looked after they are fine, this one drives mint but if it has issues later on id just rebuild it and know it will be sound! - like everything the internet blows things out of proportion, 5 years ago no one knew what a...

    Opinions please on getting a new diesel Clio to replace my 172

    its not always about "protecting" My 182 Trophy lives in my garage, sure having a daily runner keeps miles off it and keeps it looking good but at the end of the day its a £5000 car, for me the fact that probably 10-15 days a year ive got a car that I take out just makes it feel all that more...

    Martin_172's Ultra Red 197 R27

    Tidy it up outside as the grill is faded, one wheel has a couple of nicks and just needs a good detail but really just enjoy it. Id like an akrapovic and some springs/spacers but not till after winter I never keep cars that long anyway so just going to enjoy it!
