The subframe has to be lowered so you idealy want a 4 post lift so its a garage only job with the subframe off/tilted take the old one out and put the 182 one in and make a pipe to fit it. Depending how good the garage can do it depends how long it takes 2 hours at worst IMO. 182 exhaust...

31st July 92 was the cut off point 3.5% your allowed before that date. After that date its the manurfactures guides but the accepted one is 0.5 at idle and 0.3 at fast idle (2.5~3k)

Arr right now I remmber. Should be fine so long as there enough for the oil pump to still run did you sort out the issues it had though in the end? Mk1's seem to be wiered my old one was fine colour wise always green others always went brown very qucikly. Filter change on a 1.8 hummm how...

Why not just use an extender on the spanner?

The cup suspension pack was different hubs, suspension setup, different coloured wheels darker) Also different shock and springs rates were adpated and car is 3mm lower. Cup spolier pack was the rear spolier was a bit bigger from the 172 Cup if I remember right plus like the 172 Cup it meant...

Agree with jon I don't like Spax stuff there dampers as me and Jon know are rubish as well.

Yep normal on the oil front goes black after time. Coolent should be green but ti can chnage. Do you know if engine was filled up at service fully? On a 172 usualy check the cam cover ie under plehham. for oil the cam cover seals arn't wonderful. Also check breaker pipes for cracks.

Which pump are you refering to as the dci have two the oone in the tank is fine upto about 160hp or so but personaly I wouldn't risk it that high 130 at most the high . The high pressure Delfi one in the engine bay can be damaged I'm guessing it was a model which had a tunning box/remap or...

Autodata Cannot be bothered with looking in dialogues but I'm sure they do mine did when i had mine set off.

Sensors can pack up anway mine never have and I've never cleaned the sensor (chnaged pads err about 6 times) they shouldn't ever have problems with the 1mm gapping they have. The sensors can fail normally but pad changing has nothing to do with it. £140 is the worst I've ever heard £90 is...

I think the lap time records leader board is easy to set up 1) BenR (on his first lap he'll set the record no one will beat it. His record for PGR3 is still unbeaten on the ring I think.) 2).......

F4R is the engine type much like Escort is a type of car. s7360 no idea should be the engine code but it should be 730 your code is probably a rebuilt one so it doesn't have the same code. The D bit is the engine serial number.

Yep some cars suffer some don't I know of a 182 with over 50k and the wheels fine.

Depends what offset turinis you use.

Yep just checked needs programming.

Yep the long servicing periods plus the fact there never driven hard ie EGR's are getting block plus the turbo oil lines are to slim to deal with the oil when its worn out. The old one doesn't look as preaty though. Your right there were in some ways better. But they ween;'t designed for the...

Nope but I'd get one for it 172/182's have suffered from plugs being incorrectly fitted and it can be very expenisve if it goes wrong.

New gasget and a cat/decat made to fir the 172 rear exhast stsem and the 182 down pipe.

Best get a garge if you don't know what your doing to have a look. It might only have 15k but tensioners on the Clios are usless. ALso its 3 years or so old now I guess which can be just as bad for them.

Its a close thing with Renault whats worsr the Lgans got a fair few problems ball joints/turbo's/gearboxs on the Lagunas. Good thing there safe cars and nice to look at. My cars been quite reliable for teh abuse its had my parents have had much less reliable "posh cars.

This is for the Mk2 Clio owners only. Once you have set an airbag or pretensioner off no other airbags or pretensioners can be set off. The computer is useless the light will stay on on the dash. If you have had an airbag or pretensioner activated you have only a few ways of getting rid of...

Phase 1 or phase 2 car? Sounds like the one which doesn't start the car needs checking the other just needs recalibrating. Press the key fob buton for more than 2 seconds Dorrs lock then unlock Imobiliser LED lights up (the one on the dash) Press the key fob button again. Imobiliser...

The little swicth can be fixd but get a spare key there not cheap £40 for the unit plus £12 for the mtal key plus about 20 minutes labout to program it and get the other key removed from the system as all new CLios have 2 keys from new You don't want your second key being used to drive off your...

Yep they do wear out quick there could be other reason thats whay I'd always change springs and dampers together. Stock damper life is difficult to be certain on I killed mine in 50k or so with normal springs.

Sorry yep your right 175 for brake disks at the back I'm on front nuts your right.

I suppose, the V6 looks preatier though. I'd love one as a day to day car would make the drive to work a right laught even better stick a normal interier in one and you could leave them anywhere noone would realy suspect them.

Keep the phase 1 IMO. Its the 172/182 I'd pick.

I'd buy one if insurance road fund/insurance/fuel/tyres/brakes weren't so expensive. Also speed limits were abolised as I'm bad enough with what i have now.

Same ratios, the Cup box has a hole in it for a speedo sensor which the speedo and ECU get therespeed reading from the phase 2 (apart from a few early ones) get there speed from the ABS system. The CUp doesn't have ABS senseor so reading had to come from the gearbox. It was a crash repaired so...

I'd prefere a Fiesta in many ways.
