Looks mint that Dave :) Whats your exhaust by the way ?

^^^^ Thats exactly how mine went on my 172 , i cleaned em with autoglym metal polish . Now on my 182 i just wax em , hopefully they won't go the same with as the 172's .

Its probably something to do with it not being programmed for the immobiliser in your car . You'll probably need to get it reprogrammed for your car / immobiliser .

^^^^ Thats if your lucky , lol . My exhaust on my old 172 lasted just over 2 years then dropped to bits .

^^^^ Good price that . Normal spray cans have sh*te nozzles , i bet the ones from autopaint are alot better if they are anything like the ones i got from my local motor factor , they spray more evenly and don't spit .

The batteries on the clios are sh*te imo only 420amps , go for a heavy duty one if you can get one to fit , about 620 amps , your a bit limited because of the space where the battery fits .

Drilled disks can crack mate , thats why hardly anybody ever fits em . Go for standard disks or brembo . Or maybe some grooved ones but not drilled . Try http://www.gsfcarparts.com/ for standard disks , same as the meganes , £27.50 each part number R60139 and i think you get CS discount...

^^^^ Go to a local motor factor shop or bodyshop supply place . They'll knock you up a can if you give them the colour code for your car . The one i used charged £8.00 for a can . If you don't know where the nearest one is do a search for your town on www.yell.com

^^^^ Why should he go for an aftermarket system when it should be put right under the warranty . Insist they replace the whole system because obviously bodging the repairs isn't working , its obviously not fit for purpose. Then if you get a complete replacement exhaust , sell it on ebay...

Just thought i'd post this if anybodies interested . Not buying one myself but it might be ok for somebody whos on a tight budget . Haven't got a clue if they are sh*t are not . http://uk.aldi.com/special_buys/productnl_2311.html More about them below ...

^^^^ Agree with Debz . Sounds like it could be your spark plugs mate . My 172 did this up to about 2.5 - 3k revs then was ok above that .Got in on the computer and it turns out it was the plugs , changed em and it was ok afterwards . If it is your plugs theres a good website here for em ...

^^^^ Its not a name you see banded about much for road cars . Like ya say they are very successful tyres on rally cars , but that doesn't mean to say the road tyres are any good . A bit more info here about tyres : http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=102955&highlight=tyre+poll

Pirelli p6000, had em on my old pug 306 s16 . Couldn't fault em , fantastic grip , much better than the toyos which were probably the worst tyres i've tried .But i'm lovin the exaltos on my 182 .

I prefer the spray hammerite rather than the brush on stuff , i'd leave it at least 24 hours before driving just in case its still slightly soft , so the brake dust doesn't stick to it .

Is it the original battery ? Maybe you need a new 1 ?

How long are ya moving for ? If its permanent i wouldn't think any UK insurance company will insure you . Usually insurance companies , if they are good ones will insure you for free for a couple of weeks , maybe a month .

^^^^ Agree . You'll never get what the cars worth if you px it mate .Private sale is the only way to go if you don't want to be ripped off . Bang it on autotrader .

Mine used to do this in my 172 . The cd player worked fine but it used to click like mad when i first put the key in the ignition or turned off the ignition ,sometimes longer than others , sometimes it didn't do it at all . I've seen a few people post on here with the same problem . As it...

^^^^ Cheers for that . I did ring 2 Renault dealers a while back ,they wouldn't sell the lead separate and wanted £315 for the changer and lead :( I'll e mail the seller and see what he says .

^^^^ Is that 9 pins ? I thought the update list had a blue 8 pin connection ?

^^^^ Thats what i thought . Just seems the lead are very hard to come by . I'll keep my eye out on on ebay .

^^^^ Cheers . Ive seen a changer on ebay , the guy says the lead is only 25cm , obviously not long enough to run under the seat . Any idea where to get a cheap lead ?

^^^^ Try this website for clay .Some really good stuff on here . Can highly recommend the extreme body wash n wax shampoo , xxxx hardore paste wax , 10% discount for CS members. http://www.carwashnwax.com/10278/info.php?p=7&cat=20266

When my old 172 exhaust dropped to bits i rang Renault they wanted about £360 , went to ATS and they could only get one from Renault . So i went to powerflow in Burnley , they knocked me up stainless cat back for £270 fitted , perfect fit , nice sound :)

^^^^ So there are 2 leads ? The one with the blue block 8 pins , is that for the steering wheel controls ? And i would need another lead to connect to the changer ??

I wouldn't say they are rubbish . You just won't get massive gains like people hope or believe and like the manufacturers would like you to believe . At the end of the day the 182 obviously has 10bhp more than the 172 , and the 182 is only slightly faster than the 172 ;)

LNB's are cheap , but like sneeks says , your dish might be just a couple of millimetres out of line which bearing in mind the satellite is 1000's of miles away , so thats why the signal would be weak . If it is the LNB go for one with lower db , 0.6db or less ...

Whether they give any increase in bhp is debatable , eve if they do it wouldn't bevery much so you won't see a massive increase in performance . If you want it to make a nice noise then go for it . I've just fitted a k+n apollo today , sounds sweet ;)...

I wouldn't go down the glass mirror route . You'd be better off with using acrylic mirrors .Its not cheap though . http://www.diyplastics.com/plasticmirrorproducts.htm Do a search on google for either makrolon , polycarbonate sheet or acrylic sheet . We used to make it years ago .It is...

Greenstuff brake pads give off very little dust . You can get em from : https://secure.gsfcarparts.com They are the same pads as the meganes . I think you get CS discount as well . Part number is R64276FG
