Welcome JB It's not " Arctic" , thats blue . It's either Titanium silver or Iceberg silver .

Offer your mate £750 to take it off his hands then get the belts done yourself at Diamond motors . Get Mick to give it the once over to highlight any other issues it might have and you might have yourself a bargain . https://diamondmotors.co.uk/ About 10 quid to fix a puncture if it's...

I left my 182's major belt service until it was 6 years old on 33k miles . I wouldn't start panicking just yet. But I would be planning / saving ( if money is an issue) on getting the belts done in the near future .

How mch is the car ? If you're paying top dollar then get one that's had both belts done . If it's cheap as chips then get the belts done yourself at Diamond motors. I wouldn't say they are a ticking time bomb if it's gone past the scheduled service interval , but that depends on how far past...

Just a quick update for anybody with the same sound / issues. @Darren S It was the drivers side ball joint . Had both sides replaced and it's running like a good un again with " no embarrasing " creaking :smile: A Big Thank you to Andy and Steve @Birchdown :up: Top work as always .

Ahhh sorry. I thought you meant the door pulls with switches. The door handles are black surround with silver handles.

In a 182 they're black/ very dark greyish with metallic flecks in . It's a rubberised coating . Try and post some pics if you can .

I doubt you can buy the handles new now . I suppose you could always ask at your local Renault dealership. Search for " snappy steering wheels " on here . His work is top quality , he retrims them in leather . Yeah underneath the dash trims are silver . Lots of people spray them and colour...

My seat belts were black . I unbolted them on the floor / side . It's a big torx bolt . Then I sprayed them with Autoglym engine and machine cleaner and used a nail brush on them . Then I pushed the seats as far forward as possible and put a bucket of hot water in each passenger footwell with...

I'll let ya know as soon as it's been in at Birchdown what the resolution was. Fingers crossed it's nothing major .

Hi Andy. It's on the original ball joints. Today and yesterday it hasn't creaked. Did you see / hear my video I posted ? If you think it might be ball joints can you order them in for when I see you on Monday.

Used daily . Owned since new , 11years 5 months old on 77,4OOish k miles .

You'll need a 17mm spanner also to hold the slider pin when you undo the pad carrier . You don't need an eezibleed kit . Just some tubing from the bleed nipple into a bottle . Or you can one of these , local motor accessory shops usually sell them for about £2.00...

These are the correct spark plugs . NGK PFR6E-10 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Renault-Clio-2-0-16v-Sport-172-182-Genuine-Set-Of-Spark-Plugs-x4-8200239321-/271784689909?hash=item3f47a140f5:g:iRAAAOxyFbpR5~fT

Can you not just put the garbage steering wheel on temporarily and send yours off to be retrimmed ?

Welcome to CS :up: GW 200 looks nice .

@SomeGuy

Have you spoken to the seller ? Tyres aren't a biggy , they can be had for £70 a corner for something like Uniroyal Rainsports . He's told you that the servicing was carried out by a specialist ? Dents can be removed by a PDR guy usually for about £40 a dent . If you're planning on keeping the...

Have a search for blocked drainage hole under the scuttle panel . Seems to be one of the main culprits for this .

Ahhhh right . That's fair enough . Could you not message them , see if they'll come down half the price of the belts service ( around £300 ) I doubt they'll knock off the full price. The interior looks tidy , seats and steering wheel . I think finding the perfect car and the perfect price is...

The cambelt, dephaser ....... was done over 7 years ago ? The service interval is 5 years or 72k miles for cambelt service and 5 years 36k miles for aux belt service. I think it looks a decent honest advert imo.

The ad looks pretty much spot on . Better than alot I've read . It sounds like somebody whos knows about Clios . Its hard to tell from the pic but the bodywork looks ok . One thing alot of Clios suffer is a big dent on the bonnet just above the Diamond . You need to drop the bonnets for them to...

Just quickly skimmed through Autotrader . What about this one ? I bet you can get this nearer to £2500 http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201706256777408?onesearchad=Used&onesearchad=Nearly...

I'll have a look tomorrow . I'm not entirely sure what I'm lookg for though. If anybody has any pics that would be a great help.

I don't know . Can I see this from above in the engine bay ?

I know what ya mean . I've seen lots of videos of problems and its not obvious to people listening . It might actually sound a little bit louder on video than it does in real life. I'll get my g/f to grip my column later when shes home from work lol .

I'll let you know exactly what they find . At least you'll have some idea then .

Just got home from a good 90 min drive . I didn't notice any creaking because of the engine noise and radio . Parked up outside my house and noticed it creaking again , badly . The temperature outside is about 6 degrees warmer than it has been all week . The last time it was creaking was Monday...
