They don't look naff mate . To the untrained eye of a Clio owner they'd look oem . I just positioned mine in place , used some masking tape to hold it there and drilled some very small pilot holes in the bumper then used self tappers . Trimmed the ends with a sharp stanley knife , job done ...

I don't know why anybody would consider joining it in the mddle :openmouth: It'll be more work than needed and look shite . Just fit it central and trim both ends , job done . It's dead easy .

The original bolts are 45mm long . I used these 50mm long bolts , which are ok...

The easiest way to remove the rubber coating is to leave them soaking in Dettol disinfectant . I got this tip off a modeling website for stripping paint off plastics. Leave the handles submerged for 24 hours and the coating just peels off . It has to be Dettol though apparently . It's not...

Autoglym Engine and Machine cleaner is good at removing oil , grease etc ....... http://www.halfords.com/motoring/engine-oils-fluids/engine-cleaner-degreaser/autoglym-engine-cleaner#reviewDetails

Lol, yeah you're right . I'll have to have a good look for my old draper key .

Just nipped in Halfords to buy a sump plug key as I've misplaced my old one . It said £4.99 on the shelf , but at the counter they only charged me 25p . The guy on the counter didn't know why and didn't really seem bothered if it was an error or not , he never checked lol . So just a heads up...

If the bulbs bigger than 10mm in diameter it won't fit in the hole . Behind the drivers side light is an awkward bugger to get at . I extended the wires on the drivers side so I can pull it out of the engine bay, now I can change the sidelights in a couple of seconds if i ever need to :smile:

Just checked a spare manifold i have off a 182 and it's the same part number as you quoted . So yeah . You have the wrong manifold . It doesn't matter if you buy a manifold off a 172 or 172 cup , they're the same.

Try phoning Renault Wolverhampton . They're usually the cheapest . Lots of people have used them on CS over the years including myself. Tel. 01902 216275

Renparts are selling replica headlights on ebay , the part numbers for left and right are different to the ones you've posted . http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Renault-Clio-II-PH2-2001-2004-Pair-NEW-Headlamps-Headlights-Black-Surround-/271037539509?hash=item3f1b18a4b5:g:-0YAAOxyXTRR~4tX 7701054059...

This is how I always bed in new pads and discs , regardless of car or whatever make of pads and discs. Take it on the motorway for a good long drive around 70 - 80mph , lots of gentle left foot braking and I don't mean just pressing the pedal and releasing , I mean keeping your foot on the pedal...

So it's not just me then :wink:

Cheers . I couldn't see any tabs yesterday so I ended up cutting it off the old seat , then i prised it all apart with a scrwewdriver . I broke off even more of that red tab but managed to glu it back together . All done now . Thanks anyway :up:

Watching thread with interest .

I used a new one from a Genuine Renault kit I'd had for a while , although the one I took off wasn't in too bad condition .You can buy them on ebay. The seem to be listed under 2.5" donut gasket . You'd probably be able to get one from a local exhaust place.

It wasn't leaking from there , but the cup it sits in , in the manifold had rusted through again , so one side wasn't holding it on it was just merrily rattling away. I live 30 miles from the coast . I can honestly say , including today I've changed the kit 6 times , always using genuine Renault...

Having owned my 182 for 10 and half years and going through God knows how many fitting kits because they rust away within minutes I thought I'd have a go at making an alternative using all Stainless parts . I don't know if anybodys interested , but there are the parts I used M8 x 75mm...

I want to remove the old seat as it's knackered and replace with a newer seat. I've disconnected the larger plug under the seat but I can't seem to separate the smaller connector in the pic . There " was " a red plastic tab on , but that broke off . I've pulled , squeezed but the bugger won't...

The dial over reads ever so slightly compared to what you set your cruise control speed at . Also what you set your cruise control speed to will be slightly over what your actual speed is compared to gps . i.e. set it at 70mph and you'll be doing about 68mph . Haven't got a clue about the faulty...

I had a Powerflow many moons ago on my 172 , granted it only has one backbox but it was only £230 new . There's nothing wrong with them imo . Offer him £150 , tell him you think its a Powerflow and they're not much more than that new . If you don't ask , you don't get in this world :tonguewink...

It's not a Miltek . Looks more like a Powerflow or custom jobby to me .

Pics are working now . You've got the same FH55 part of your reg number as me . I'm guessing yours was from Motorpoint too originally and one of the last 182's registered . Not keen on the wheels though . It'll look better when you get the original wheels refurbed and back on :wink:

Welcome to CS . Good colour choice ,but I'm slightly biased :wink: Your pics aren't showing for me for some reason ? Personally I prefer the standard wheels on a 182 . I just think they look better. Go for a Skoda Fabia splitter , they dont break like the originals and cost a fraction of the...

Iirc , The Ash name is only on one side , so you can turn it over and you won't see it :tonguewink:

From what I understand . The 6000k are more blue and probably light up the road less . The 5000k imo are actually better than the oem 4300k as they light up the road ahead a bit further and brighter.

OEM are 4300k . I've been running 5000k which are slightly whiter than oem for the last 3 years from hidsdirect and they've been spot on . I'd seen quite a few recommendations for these on CS before I bought them. http://www.hids-direct.co.uk/d2s-35w-hid-xenon-bulb-set/

Another vote for Panasonic . I have a TZ20 , had a few years now . Takes good pics and video/sound . I take it to any gigs I go to . It's about the same size as a packet of fags so fits easily into my pocket .

Could be a few things . I had an intermittent problem a while a go . I took off the tdc sensor , cleaned it and it's been fine ever since ( touch wood ) It seems to be quite a common problem , and If i remember correctly it doesn't show any codes . Have a search for tdc sensor on here and see...
