I don't think it's anything to do with the tracking . My 182's done this ever since i bought it new . Mine only does it when i reverse out of the garage and put on full lock , the surface is slightly gravelly so it scrambles for grip . Thats the only time mine does it , when the tyres are cold .

A green card is proof you have insurance in the UK . You used to need them , now you don't so long as you take your insurance certificate with you . You can still get issued with a green card though if you prefer , you'll have to ring your insurance company and get them to send you one ...

I've used the guys at Powerflow / Topgear in Burnley . Couldn't fault their work , 90 mins in and out job done :) I'd definitely use them again without hesitation .

I'm with Adrian Flux and i'm pretty sure i get 30 days cover in Europe , without checking my policy . I would imagine i could extend that if needs be for a fee . From what i understand all insurance companies have to give you cover in Europe free of charge for a limited period . Must be...

As said 72k is the recommeded service interval , it's a little optimistic imo . I had to change mine at 30k on my 172 as i was losing power / hesitating up to 2.5k revs . If your not having any problems i'd just leave them .

They already did . It's called the Megane 225 ;) They won't put a 2 litre turbo in a Clio as this would step on the toes of the Megane powerwise and pricewise .

I pressure wash the car first to loosen any dirt , then i use the high pressure foam , quick rinse then foam again and proceed with the 2 bucket method .

Yep . but like i said before . That foam lance is crap .

The foam lance you posted about from Halfords is an attachment for Karcher pressure washers . It's not a stand alone product you can attach to a hose pipe .

Mine always does this when i've just get the car out of the garage and the tyres are cold . It also seems to do it more on worn tyres .

Those karcher foam lances are crap imo . They hold very little shampoo/water and run out quickly . They don't produce much foam either . If you already have a pressure washer you could try my method . Cheaper than any foam lances ;) 11th post down ...

I had the P6000's on my 306 S16 and loved em . Some people love em some hate em . A bit like Toyos . Everybody has the own favourites .

Good bit of advice there edde . If it gets down to -17 i'll dance naked in Darwen town centre ;) For anyone thinking of changing their antifreeze/coolant it should be mixed in the ratio of 60% antifreeze 40% water . Pure antifreeze does freeze at around -10 .

Part number 60 00 07 37 72 . Iirc it's about £42 incl. VAT . Slightly dearer on ebay : http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BRAND-NEW-GENUINE-RENAULT-CLIO-SPORT-172-182-GRILLE_W0QQitemZ320201672801QQihZ011QQcategoryZ10410QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Agree . I'd never buy cheap unbranded discs and pads . You might buy them and find out they are crap then have to buy some decent ones so it would be false economy . Having said that the buyer does have 100% feedback on over 18,000 sales , so there's alot of happy punters out there .

Like Dicky says . Powerflow will make you a stainless replica , and it WILL be cheaper than a Renault exhaust . Mine cost £270 fabricated and fitted .

Welcome to Cliosport mate . Glad your happy with your car , enjoy it :) I'll let others tell you how it stands up against other " hot hatches " . In some peoples eyes it's unbeatable ;)

How olds the battery ? 12 volts is indicating your batteries fcuked maybe not holding a charge. It should be around 12.6 - 12.7 volts if it's in good condition . If it's older than 3 years i'd say its on it's way out , time for a new battery .

You can have a 182 cup , a 182FF without the optional cup packs and a 182FF with the optional cup packs . You've got 2 cup packs . One is the front splitter under the bumper and the rear spoiler . Then you have the suspension cup pack which has slightly lower and stiffer suspension and the...

Its a 182FF with cup packs that your after mate .

Just go to a scrapyard and get a 165 /55 /16 steel wheel with an old tyre on , you won't save much space though over a 205/45/16 though. Afaik you can't buy a spacesaver specific to the 182 . Ask yourself how many times you've actually had to change a wheel at the side of the road ? Is it...

I assume you mean EU working time directive ? Thats been in place since 1998 in the UK and it's only optional . If it was enforced lots of places would simply go out of business .

I don't use 3rd gear much , straight from 2nd to 4th , lol . Sounds like you need some driving lessons tbh ;)

Who's cleo ? :quiet:

The Ph1's do seem to hold their price pretty well compared to the Ph2's . Maybe cos they sold alot less of them and some people prefer the looks of the Ph1 over the Ph2 .

For 5K he should be able to pick up a FF 172 2001-02 plate with around 50k on the clock no problem imo . Have a look on autotrader . There are loads going for 4k -5k but he will most likely have to travel a few miles . If you can get one off here better still as most will probably be better...

Not sure if it's worth the extra dosh yet .Looks wise i can't fault it .A tiny amount goes a long way .I used it on the scuttle panel , front splitter , fog surrounds , wing mirror surrounds and the back bumper insert and the bottle still looks unused . I'm guessing a bottle will last a long...

Welcome to CS mate .
