Love those wheels - Are they the gun metal matte ones with AD08r tyres? Got the exact same combo myself albeit for a 182. Such light wheels too.

I dont think its actually possible anymore to buy a brand new engine from Renault. PMS have the top and bottom half of the engine for sale on their site but I believe they are reconditioned units. If it was me I would also look to buy a known good engine second hand. I would clean the engine...

Doesn't come with new seals. You did the right thing buying new ones, will freshen up the look.

You will find the speed the cruise is set to is correct, but the dials over read. Have a satnav on and compare the speeds and you will see what I mean. Minus shouldn't cancel the cruise.

These are a couple of pounds from anywhere, search for wheel brush. Snap the yellow handle off and you are left with 2 big thick wires , attach that to a drill and use the drill to do the hard work .

@Joe Smart - Engine bay looks brilliant. Got a question - is it possible to get the black plastic cover off the throttle body or do you have to mask it when you paint it?

Absolutely ! we need updates !

Do a search injectors can be had for just over a hundred pounds, genuine. @fairm010 can you link mate Edit, ignore..... It's where Amos suggested

As above or if that fails, Vice grips or a £15 argos or wickes angle grinder and cut them off. <- this would be my prefered option.

Looks really good. Cant help with the injectors but would recommend the injector loom goes under the inlet if that is possible for neatness. Edit - also the 90degree samco bend - is the small pipe that comes off it blocked.

Appreciate you opening my eyes to this. I had never heard of a DI vessel. Im guessing it takes out all the minerals from the water. Can you link to where one can buy this DI vessel . By "rolling the vessel" do you mean you have to do that everytime you use it or just once the first time you use it.

Definitely. Must be Tonkatrucks car he was selling.

Alpine SWE1200 is pretty good, You wont get the punch of a box in the boot but adds a lot of bass and depth to music .

Just getting one click and the lights going a bit dim whilst you do it would point to the starter motor - Its possible one of the cables has dropped off it. Its behind the engine under the exhaust manifold - look below the middle 2 exhaust ports and see if you can see or feel any loose cables -...

Avoid the RTX one, ive not had one myself but have only ever seen people saying avoid them on here. The one to go for is the Valeo one if possible.

Hardest bit is removing the old lower inlet. Follow this guide and you should be alright. The rest is pretty straight forward.

Yeah thats @MarcR™

Yes, can confirm as I have one. Just use the existing struts. Boot opens all the way without hitting the spoiler. That's one of the advantages of the replica. Also buy the primered one as it will save you a bit of grief.

Also check inside the petrol flap too whilst you are at it. Clios tend to bubble a bit in there too.

I love how the colour changes depending on the light. In the evenings it looks grey, on an overcast day it looks blue and in the sun golden green.

Haha, at Origine rs there were more silver 182's than pb's. Only 21 left! Wow! hoping to find one that is being broken as I need a bootlid, chances of that are stupidly slim though.



Also another thing which I would do If i could go back is to spray the bolt head of the caliper securing bolts. Although they are coated in some sort of black coating they do rust quite quickly. They are hex cap bolts so can easily spray just the head. let me get you a pic so you can see for...

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Mintex-Ceratec-Anti-Squeal-Grease-with-Universal-Brake-Pad-Anti-Squeal-Shims-/122049377836?hash=item1c6ab5b62c:g:C10AAOSwayZXjP8b This is the stuff. this was the first link so might be cheaper if you look around.

Yes its definitely worth having, there is 2 parts to it - the anti squeal pad (looks like black gaffer tape) and also some ceratec anti squeal brake grease. I run DS2500 pads on my brembos which are quite prone to squeal and they are silent. You get 4 sticky back pads , they will need to be cut...

That problem is a right pain. Have had it once myself years ago. Its a gamble as to what is causing it but a few of the top of my head are: gearbox earth strap check fuses under bonnet - wiggle them try the second key or new UCH...

Did you mean to revive this thread ? lol

@notfastnotfurious strange you are getting so much wheel spin and dodgy steering, is that just in 1st and second gear ? Be careful with wheelspin as that is what will kill your gearbox quickest. My turbo 182 is pretty good with wheelspin, its well worth getting decent tyres if you havent...

Just a sneak peek at my brand new engine and sm inlet.
