Doesn't water leak into the cabin at the back, near the back seat cushions on certain clios? If so, it could have soaked the car inside and given it that musty smell.

Right. I'm trying to fit my white LED sidelight bulbs in my 182, but I'm having a fair old struggle trying to get my hands in to twist the bulb holder, in order to remove it and replace the bulb. Anyone got any fitting tips?

Just a piccy with the Silvatecs fitted:

Saw you pulling away from the lights outside the Texaco Garage this morning on the Eastern Road in Pompey.

I agree with the majority of people about this. However, I do use my foglights from time to time. I do a lot of motorway driving, and when the spray is really kicking up and it's getting hard to see other road users, I turn them on (front and rear). It's surely better and safer to be seen in...

On the driveway, or in the road if my brother beats me home! I would use the garage, but it's reserved for my Mum's Honda S2000 :dapprove:

Just ordered 2 sets of Silvatecs, and a set of white LED sidelight bulbs - inc p+p it was less than £15 :eek: Bargain methinks! Thanks once again to everyone for all their opinions and advice. :D

Oooh they look nice! They go very nicely with the paintwork, and as I have a Racing Blue 182, they might be worth a go.

Thanks for the advice peeps. I think I'll get some next month then. :D

Fair enough. I just thought it was worth a mention :o

I'm from Emsworth too!! Look out for a blue 182 with stripes - that's me! :cool:

1) Which is best - Silvervisions or Silvatec? 2) What bulb type(s) do I need? I'd like a set for the fronts and rears. Are they the same type? Oh yeah, it's for a 182. Cheers :D

One thing worth mentioning about those - IIRC if you put a trophy spoiler on a 182, it'll foul the aerial on the roof. The Trophies have a reduced boot opening range to stop that happening.

Yeah nice work. Clean as a whistle. The silver calipers are looking class!

^^^^PMSL!! I hit a pheasant at about 65mph. It ripped the splitter off the bumper, which I recovered and managed to re-fit. It also cracked the air deflector that directs air into the radiator. That got totally smashed up, but was only £11 from Renault, so not too bad in the end.

I broke the locking wheel nut key on mine, as some tyre monkey did my nuts up too tight! :mad: Anyway, went to Renault with key code, and they ordered me a new one. It was in the region of £20, and it took ages to arrive as it had to come from Italy! Hope this helps! :cool:

Righty ho - here goes: Blue V6 on the A46 today. Silver 182 with Cliosport stickers queing for The Shires shopping centre car park on Saturday. Silver 172 with MOMO alloys outside TX Maxx in Syston on Friday Numerous others I've forgotton :banghead:

Yeah these aren't your run-of-the-mill white-ish looking H4 bulbs. These are high intensity gas discharge bulbs.

A light bulb under warranty? Excuse my ignorance, but it that correct? If so, it's an interesting one to know. :eek:

To be fair though, I think if you hit standing water in a straight line and start to aquaplane, the best thing to do is just come off the gas, and not touch anything (steering or brakes), regardless of ESP. I had the same problem last night too - it kept knocking my cruise control off!

Was coming towards me Tuesday evening. You had a K-Tec sunstrip. I gave you a wave, don't know if you saw me though. :D

Totally gutted for you matey. My Clio is my baby, and if she ever got damaged like that I don't know what I'd do, but you've just got to look to getting it sorted now. Like someone has already said, there's a few companies out there who can fix your paint job without repsraying the whole...

I can't stand that website. I don't drive a modded motor, but reading just one sentence on that site is enough to start pi**ing me off. Like someone said earlier, it's just a lack of open-mindedness that verges on the ridiculous. :mad:

Why can't I see it? The link works, but I just get a white square with a red cross in it? What am I doing wrong?

Could I have it too please? :D

Stevo - the other alternative is to vist www.blackcircles.com You put in your postcode, and they arrange for a local tyre fitter to fit them for you, and quote you the price "all in". They're fractionally dearer then MyTyres, but they sort out the fitting, so there's less hassle. Give it a...

I was contemplating one of those after reading about somebody on here who had their 172 cup nicked. As for all cars in grp 19/20 needing trackers, that's not strictly true. My Mum has a Honda S2000, that's grp 20, but she doesn't need a tracker for the insurance. I think it very much depends on...

Nice motor. Love the colour ;) As for the stripes, mine go all the way down to the bottom edge of the tailgate.

If you're going to start talking about Moto GP, then the car equivalent is F1, and they would kill a Moto GP bike around any circuit. While the bikes may corner pretty quick, they can't ever pull any more than 1G of downforce. Cars have aerodynamics, and tyre grip, on their side, which means...

A bit further out - Emsworth :D
