    PhillipM Engineered Dogbone - Finally a proper clever solution.

    I had an Evol on one of my 182's quite a few years ago, and took it off after about a week. it was dreadful. However, a powerflex upgrade dogbone and engine mount insert, are one of the first mods I'd usually do on a 182 now. I've only ever had a very small increase in vibration and noise with...

    The New Phone Thread

    I can't say I've ever had a camera or a phone that rattles, and I wasn't expecting my brand new Pixel to rattle either to be honest. Like I said I googled it when I noticed it and realised the advise was as you say, it's normal for these types of lens. But with it being the only phone or camera...

    The New Phone Thread

    We've had them since launch. But I feel like it's gotten a little louder. Can hear it walking up and down the stairs sometimes when it's in my pocket. Not sure what the warranty is on them, but just hopeful it last. As wasn't planning on a replacement for at least a couple of years or more...

    The New Phone Thread

    Out if interest, does your brand new Pixel rattle? Mine and the Wife's Pixel 6 Pro's developed a rattle noise from the camera after a week or two (when I noticed anyway). Googling seems to suggest it's normal and everything works as it should still. But doesn't seem right.

    Uniroyal Rainsport 5

    Sorry, I meant if I was choosing a tyre for another car, ie my Z4 or E91, the new Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5 won't be available in Clio sizes. The older ones aren't worth looking into. Options are pretty limited on the Clio, but if you don't like the Rainsport 5, I doubt you'll find the Pilot...

    Uniroyal Rainsport 5

    I've got Rainsport 5's on my Z4, previous owner had them fitted just before selling the car to me. They're not too bad on there to be honest, but I remember how bad the Rainsport 3's were on my Clio 182 a few years ago and was expecting to have to change them. I wouldn't choose them over a set...

    Rainsport 5 Ebay deal

    I think they do make them in 16's, but not in Clio sizes. Something like 205/55/16 from memory.

    The new TV thread

    Finally ordered a new TV to replace my existing 5 year old budget 55" Hisense. Went for a LG C1 65" from John Lewis, using prices match got it for £1558. Been eyeing these OLED tv's up since before we bought the Hisense, but couldn't justify the cost at the time as money was tight after moving...

    182 not starting - Solid red light

    I believe the wire that was damaged was one of the several wires connected to the ECU behind the battery in the engine bay. You'll need to remove the tape/shielding to uncover the group of wires. I can't really give much help to be honesty, as Mick sorted the issue out for me.

    ***How much is it worth?***

    I don't think the style 108 wheel are that popular on these anymore. They're expensive to refurb due to needing splitting etc, and haven't really aged well either. If you can pick up a set of style 107's fairly cheap that are in good condition, or that can be powder coated cheaply, then sell the...

    ***How much is it worth?***

    @Dinky Feet There is currently a 3.0Si up for sale on the Z4 Forum on 71k miles for £8250, was posted up in October, but is still for sale now. However, there was 2.5Si sport on 78k that was up for £8k, that sold within a couple of weeks. With the lower mileage, I'd guess it would sell for a...

    172 Cup Catalytic Converter Value?

    This is one of the main buyers on the facebook groups. Paid me around £450 for a 182 Cat earlier in the year. Though prices have fallen since then to around £300. The 172 Cat is worth more though.

    BMS Shifter

    I'm 99% sure it uses a scenic housing, which is taller than the Clio housing

    2021 Black Friday TV Deals Thread

    Sorry to hijack, but maybe relevant. I'm currently considering a LG OLED TV for the living room to replace a Hisense 55 inch we bought about 5 years ago, when we moved. Looking to go 65", but don't know which version to go for. The A16 @ £1250, or the B16 at £1500, or maybe last year's model...

    2004 Titanium rs 182 on e bay with 38k miles For £6000

    The guy selling it, sells quite a lot of Clio's, he's quite active on the facebook groups (selling stuff anyway). I don't think I've heard any bad feedback to be fair, but he gets stick for selling 182's without the centre caps. I think he tends to get the wheels powder coated in Birmingham, and...

    The New Phone Thread

    I was initially quite worried about the battery life on mine when I first got it, as it seemed to discharge quite quickly. But I charged it over night after a few days, and its seems much better ever since. I'm consistently getting pretty much 2 full days, albeit every now and then it'll need a...

    My latest purchase - RB 182

    Miss my 182 RB that I sold earlier this year, probably the best 182 I've had to date (7 total). I'd personally recommend fitting a 330mm wheel, and a spacer to suit your preferred seating position. Then a set of aftermarket seats, or similar. I had Evo 8 seats in mine, mounted as low as...

    Best fast road tyre in size 205/45/16

    I really didn't like the last set of PS3's I had, ended up selling them, and replacing with AD08RS's. I'd used AD08R's about 5 or 6 times previously on the various 182's I've owned over the years and believe these to be the best tyre for the road in terms of grip in both dry and wet, plus the...

    I've got one of these that I need to list for sale, pretty much as new really, including battery, charger, and starter set sockets etc.

    New purchase

    I had a solid red light on mine earlier in the year. I spent ages trying to figure out what the issue was, in the end I took it to a specialist who found the problem almost straight away. It was a damaged wiring in the loom connected to the ECU, it had somehow had the outer cover damaged and...

    Catalytic converter prices

    Has anyone sold a 182 cat recently? I've got two in the garage, but when I checked prices a few weeks ago, got offered £300 each. When I sold one earlier in the year I got £440 from memory.

    The New Phone Thread

    Need to order before the 27th to get the headphone deal I believe, so don't leave it too long. If the Pro wasn't a larger screen, I'd have just ordered the standard Pixel to be honest, but I watch a lot of videos on it, so wanted the larger screen for that mainly.

    Me and the wife ordered pixel 6 pro's yesterday. She's coming from a Pixel 5 and I've got a OnePlus Nord. Both fairly happy with our current phones, but have been waiting for the Pixel to be released for a good few months. My wife actually bought a S21 Ultra direct from Samsung a while ago and...

    Whats seats ?? 🤔🤔

    When i tried seats at GSM the sebelt's fitted me quite well and was comfy. But I preferred the Mirco seats. Can't remember which ones they were now as it was a few years ago. However, the car I've got now has Mirco RS2's and they extremely comfy and fit me perfectly. I'm a 36" waist and...

    Low mileage 172 Cup £14,999 on ebay

    I sold my RB cup a few months ago for £5750 on 112k. Honestly I couldn't imagine paying that kind of money for a mk2 Clio (at least in 2021), but seems like I may have under sold it slightly looking on the forum. I really don't see the appeal of buying cars like these as investments, by the...

    Powerflex…is this normal?

    I had to cut mine down to fit them, but I trimmed the outer side down by a couple of mm (At least), and it was still a very tight fit. Not a job i'd want to do again any time soon, along with the powerflex power steering rack bushes.

    Low mileage 172 Cup £14,999 on ebay

    I can't say a V6 is a car I've ever been that interested in to be honest. Nor in a position to afford or justify buying one.

    Low mileage 172 Cup £14,999 on ebay

    Just looked quickly found a bargain V6. Just under £40k. Oh well. Can definitely get a trophy for £15k. You can get a good trophy for £15k right?
