    182 Kangoo Van, Oulton Park 21.1.2020

    Had an Absolute Riot at Oulton Park on Tuesday. What a Circuit!!! Van caused a bit of a stir again as per usual, must have had 10 people come over and talk to me about it. Given my lack of social ability that isn't pleasant but I tried my best... Coilovers and some Better wheels are on the...

    Always use Type D Coolant...!

    If you don’t and you fill your 172/182 with generic red coolant, it reacts badly with the OE Type D.... 🤦‍♂️

    Clio 197 or Abarth 500

    Greetings all! I’m wanting a cheap bit of fun for a bit (daily is a boring diesel barge) I’m properly torn between an Abarth 500 and a 197. I will do the odd track day in it but mainly just a bit of fun to use when I haven’t got to take lots of stuff to work and don’t need the estate car. I’m...

    Another Kangoo 182

    I needed a practical car for work, but I really missed track days so I sold my Impreza and my 306 and went clio 182/197 hunting. Sadly all I could find was over priced crap. Then I stumbled across a really scruffy kangoo/182 conversion that had been 60% finished so I did a buy! Plan was to...

    ABS sensors, talk to me...

    I need a pair of front 182 ABS sensors. Euro car parts have some Bosch ones that are about £19 each with discount. Am I wasting my time? Should I buy genuine? Last time I looked they were £100+ so I don’t really want to do that...

    My Monaco 172. Five years in the making...

    So, I bought this roughly 5 years ago. It wouldn’t run as the dephaser was so knackered, it had been keyed down one side, looked proper sorry for itself. BUT it was really straight, never had an accident, subframe had never been off, no rust, low miles at 55k, and I knew I could make it lovely...

    Thinking of having some bodywork done to your car?

    Good day all, My work have just brought out a new offer and I thought i'd share it on here as it's seemingly very popular! We are offering 6 or 12 Months 0% finance on all bodywork. This could be a basic wheel refurb or a full on restoration. The company I work for is called Dick Lovett. On...

    My work battle tank

    I've had this ages (for me) so thought I'd stick some pictures up after a quick wash and Hoover after work tonight. 176,000 miles and looks/drives like it's done 20,000 miles. It's bloody lovely. It's the older straight 6 engine and 5 speed auto as opposed to the newer V6 and 7 speed, but...

    Y181NBV blue Ph1 Clio 172

    Good evening all, Does anyone know this car at all?

    My Skoda. Probably my favourite car for a long time!

    I love this little car. It's fantastic! I washed it after work and took some pics as I've got someone half interested in buying it. If anyone wants a cheap to run, quick, comfy car I'd thoroughly recommend one. (In red or silver, black is a pain in the f**king ass!)

    £700 budget, what 182 coilovers for track only?

    What would you buy and why? The only road miles the car sees are to and from the track. Owner is a very competent driver too. Car has 56mm bolt spacing.

    Clio 172 only managing 200 miles to a tank

    As above. I foolishly recommended my friend to buy one and now he's moaning like f**k because he can't get more than 200 miles out of a full tank. It has a decat but it STINKS of fuel at the rear. Car drives perfect though. I just took it round the block and can't fault it. I have a...

    New car stereo needed

    Any recommendations? I want a front USB so I can play tunes from my iPhone, a pre-out for my sub and a CD player. Cheap. Not looking to enter SPL but I don't want any rip speed junk either. No clue what to buy.

    NG53 VLA - anyone know this car?

    As above. I'm going to look at it tonight. The history seems a bit sketchy so I thought I'd ask here. It's a flame red 2004 172.

    40 inch telly, £500 budget, wa gwan?

    As above. I've spent a total of less than £500 on televisions (4 of them!) in the last 7 years and it's now time to replace the one in the lounge. Yes I'm tight. I want it to be able to work on wifi if possible so I can get Netflix etc. I'm not a boffin so super hi resolution doesn't interest...

    Modus vs Clio

    Which parts do they share? Anyone know? I want to fit my 172 cup coilovers, my 172 wheels/spacers and a 197 steering wheel/airbag to my 2007 Renault Modus dci 86. Does anyone know if this is possible?? Don't ask me why. Other than I have the parts and it won't cost me anything.

    New car paint, self healing?? (Gally!)

    At work we're having a nightmare with new cars. The paint is ridiculously soft and we're scratching them when cleaning them, tree sap is etching into the paint along with bird s**t. Up until now me and another guy have been sorting the worst ones by machine polishing them. But with 40+ sold...

    Anyone know this 197?

    My mate is in the market for a 197. He wants recaros, would prefer black and it will do 2/3 track days a year. This seems to fit the bill. Anyone know it? http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201504132562747?atmobcid=soc4

    How?? Basically I have hundreds of pictures of some of my old cars. I want to store them all in a folder on my work computer. Some if the pictures are on my phone, some are on Facebook, some are on photobucket. But I want them all in one place (my work computer has a seemingly infinite...

    I have a Clio diesel. I have questions.

    Car is an 04 dci 65 dynamique. 1) will coilovers fit from a mk2 ph1? 2) if they won't, will coilovers from a mk2 ph2 1.2 fit? 3) is it worth blanking the EGR on these? 4) will a dogbone mount from a 2.0 1£2/182 fit? Thank you please.

    What's this on my phone??

    My battery has died once today and it's nearly gone again now. I've noticed some arrow thing in the top right, is that something turned on that's causing battery drain??
