Welcome to CS mate . Your 182 looks in good condition . You just need to get your exhaust sorted out now , it's out of line . Common fault with them as the exhaust hangers aren't really up to the job . If you do a search on here , you'll see a couple of different ideas to fix that problem .

Lmao at discs don't warp . I've had warped discs , many moons ago . There was no pad material build up , you could physically see the disc was running out of true when you span the wheel round .

I've seen people have problems with the standard alarms before . I'm not sure if there is a guide somewhere ? Or maybe if you have search about swapping the wires over for the sensors inside the car to make it less sensitive . I've definitely seen this talked about before as a cure for false...

Ahhhh right . It was just a thought . Maybe the lack of bonnet switch is the problem then .

Has it ever had a bonnet switch ? Mines an Import so had no alarm fitted as standard . I have an aftermarket Toad alarm which doesn't have a bonnet switch . Does yours have the little red led down next to the gear stick ? Thats where they put them when they fitted the alarms .

I don't know then . Thats sounds like the classic dephaser noise to me , which happens when the engine is warm .

Its the dephaser . If you search on here it's very common .

Imports didn't have an alarm fitted , they also didn't have locking wheel nuts as standard . But don't worry if yours is an import . They are exactly the same car , same spec , made in the same factory . Just minus the alarm and locking wheel nuts . They're not the same as Grey Imports which...

Have a look in your spare wheel well , also under your back seats.

The Gold looks ok ish , all the other colours look s**t . If it were me I'd stick with anthracite or a similar colour . What about BMW sparkling grey ? It's slightly darker than anthracite or even sparkling bronze ...

My Dads mate used to have a Red one back in the ahem 70's ( showing my age now lol ) It was absolutely stunning . It was my dream car back then , as well as the Mk1 Capri GT , he had one of those as well .

35w . Just click on this link and it will take you to the ones you want . Then just choose the colour temp . Like I said above . I went for 5000k , oem are 4300k . Higher the number the light gets more blue . http://www.hids-direct.co.uk/d2s-35w-hid-xenon-bulb-set/

I'm no mechanic . But from what I've learnt off here , to get any serious power gains you have to throw serious money at these Clios . I had a 172 , brand new out of the box , same as my 182 and there was absolutely nothing in it , 10bhp means sod all in the real world , they're just numbers ...

I thought about it ages ago . Then reading on here over the years I'm not sure you really see any beneficial gains . You'll get some people who swear you do , you'll get some who swear you don't . Have a bit of search on here and see what you come up with . It seems like things become popular...

I thought about a gloss black , with a Matt lacquer , then I thought about a very dark grey metallic but couldn't find one I liked . Then i gave up thinking cos I had other things to do lol . Mine are primed and ready for a colour coat , its just having time .

Nice one . What colour are you going for ? I was trying to find something to match or something close as the originals . But I've been a bit busy so put this little project on the back burner for now . It'll be good to see some pics when you've finished. @Kchristmas . It leaves the bare plastic...

I have the 5000k from hids-direct . They're slightly whiter than the oem 4300k without being blue and I actually think they're brighter , better visibility than the 4300k bulbs . I've also been using these 7 led sidelights , had them in about 2 years now and still going strong . They might not...

Nice one . Apparently you can use Dettol to strip alsorts of paint from plastics . No wonder it kills germs if it's that strong lol .

Yeah , takes only a couple of mins . Just disconnect the pipes , push the old ones out from under the bonnet , then push the new ones in . I just used some pliers to push mine out , gently grip the old washer jets then push .

I left them soaking overnight . The rubber coating just fell off . I only primed mine , haven't got round to finding the right colour I want to paint them .

Make sure all the residue is off , wash them in hot soapy water then dry them . Then wipe them down with some IPA to remove any grease , give them a light sanding down with some 1000 grit wet n dry to help the plastic primer key . Then spray with what ever colour coat you want , keeping the...

If the mechanism is that badly rusted it'll probably need replacing . Just soak it for now and see how you get on . I hope it doesn't stick with the bonnet closed . I've seen alot of people who've had that problem too .

Sounds like your bonnet catch has rusted . There has been 2 official Renault recalls to replace the bonnet catches . First of all I'd keep soaking it in WD40 , try pulling the cable gently as it's being soaked , it might free it up a little bit . Come Monday I'd phone Renault UK and see if yours...

It might sound strange , but soak them in neat Dettol . Its a tip I got off a modelling website . It dissolves the rubber coating on the grab handles and it just peels off .

The rear wiper blade is different to the front . Its only 12" long .

My honest opinion on decats is that they do bugger all other than increase the noise level . There was definitely no change power loss or gain on my 182 .

I used some of this when I filled some deep scratches on an alloy ...

If i set my cruise control to 30mph and go through one of those signs the sign usually shows 28mph, roughly 5% out , that's what my sat nav and also my gps speed camera detector displays . Like wise if is set my cruise control to 80mph the indicated speed on my sat nav and speed camera detector...

All those colours look shite imo , except maybe black . Stick to the original anthracite wheels .

Sometimes the light comes on straight away after having a decat fitted , sometimes it might be a few days or even weeks . It won't affect how the car runs . You can buy a cheap OBDII code reader off ebay or a OBDII bluetooth adapter and use torque on an android phone to reset it . It might come...
