Hi - I've finished my timing belt job and noticed what I think is a missing o-ring or gasket. I see what looks like a plastic ring on the old dephaser pulley but don't think I could or should try to save it. Can this be replaced or is it new cap time..

Hi all. I'm midway through an engine out full service. I have removed the aux belt but think I missed a trick not breaking the exhaust, dephaser and crankshaft pulleys loose before taking the engine out. I have the genuine renault locking tools. I don't belive I should put any force locking...

Hi all. I'm in the process of engine removal but one last bolt is preventing me lifting the engine out. The bolt connecting the power steering to the pump. I cant get a 17mm spanner in there. I've tried a crow foot spanner but there is no room. What tool can get in there? The other option...

Hi - sorry for the multiple threads on this topic but I've performed this before several years ago without issue but this time I'm having issues. I have a new to me 182 and have bought from Ebay a headunit which I think is compatible. My car had a storage box under the passenger seat which Is...

Hi - I want to put in an OEM head unit into my 2005 Clio 182. My research told me that the Cabasse auditorium was the best unit but the one I bought has different plugs. My harness doesn't have the same plugs. I also want to retrofit bluetooth using an adaptor into the CD input or aux...

Hi guys, I've recently bought a 182 which I'm intending to do some refreshing of. The belts were last done 10 years ago! so need attention right now. I'm not a mechanic but plan on doing this myself with the genuine tools. I've also got a slightly crunchy third gear so plan to remove the...

Hi - I've recently bought a 182 with both cup packs. I've had a couple of Clios before (Trophy & 182) but this is my first standard 182. The car does not ride great, but I'm more used to Bilstein B12s or Sachs so not a fair comparison. I had a quick look under the car and there are some...

Hi, can anyone help me get a radio code please. I think the number you need is V122 The other number is 8200367500T but I think the other one is the security code. Help really appreciated :)

My car is a third car and due to these problems seeing even less use. I had a problem where occasionally the starter would not fire. It was sporadic but very annoying. Sometime I would be stranded waiting for AA then the car would just start. I had battery replaced by AA for a new unit...

I've got an intermittent problem with my immobiliser. Sometimes the car starts no Issues. Sometimes it is dead. When I click the car locked sometimes the car beeps at me but I'm not sure what that means. I managed to get it to start today after locking and unlocking as much as possible but...

Hi, I've been having some problems with my ABS warning light coming on. I am also getting a pulsing from the ABS at slow speed which seems to sometimes trigger the lights to come on. I thought it was a sensor problem but today I stripped the brakes down and found a lot of corrosion to the hub...

Hi - I have a cup packed 182 running on bilstein coilovers. My turinis need a refurb. I am thinking it's easiest to just pick up a ser of wheels from eBay whilst they are done. Do 'regular' Clio wheels fit? They are pretty cheap and I think can be 14" ? What is the smallest that fits without...

Hi, I was driving into Cirencester yesterday and followed what I now know to be a petrol blue 182. I never saw this colour before and really liked it. Anyone know if this is rare or hard to come by?

Hi, I installed some Bilstein Coilovers today and the install went fine. However I discovered my car was running V-maxx Coilovers already and it would appear the top suspension bolt has a cam on it which I guess is a basic camber adjustment. The bilsteins just use a regular bolt. The bilsteins...

Hi - I used to own a trophy with the OEM system. I found it a bit quiet. I bought a 182 with a K-Tek centreline supersports system with decat. It was way too loud combined with a K-TEk intake. I now only run the KTek back box and the rest of the intake / exhaust is OEM. It's hugely better but...

Hi, I hope someone can help here. I have a 182 which I want to mostly return to a stock state of tune. It has been remapped (think by K-Tek) in the past, or at least there is an invoice in the service history for that. I used to own a Trophy and remapped that with the RS Tuner to the 98 ron...

Hi, I've installed a sony mex-bt3900u which I bought from eBay. It works ok but does not remember the time and resets itself every time I use the car. Is there a battery which can be replaced or suchlike? It's plugged into the universal plug but should I be giving it non switched power...

Hi, I have taken delivery of a new RStuner but I can't get the RSTuner app to see the Fastchip VCI. I think it needs a driver. I also can't update the firmware as I get a message saying 'unable to switch Fastchip VCI to firmware update mode' My laptop is a Sony Vaio TX series running Vista...

Hi, my Trophy has broken its clip which controls the rear slide position 'memory'. I've phoned Renault and they tell me the recaro is Trophy specific and I have to replace the whole metal base. The price for this is £900 + VAT ! I know these trendlines were optional on the 182 as well. Does...

Hi, I have a spare weekend away from the wife and son so I'm trying to fit the yanoo 'normal' kit that I bought from a member recently. I've managed to remove all the trim from the gear stick I'm not really sure where to go next. I can remove the knob and gearbox skirt pretty easily but I'm...

Hi guys, I have a Trophy and I've recently replaced the front disks Brembo HD disks with DS2500 pads. The pads did not fit but I've filed down the ends until they fit snuggly into the carriers. I've seen someone advise the carrier should be removed but as my car is a road car not a track car...

Hi guys, first time poster here :) I've recently bought a Clio Trophy which I'm treating to a new set of disk and pads. The OE ones were very worn and the disk has not worn evenly on the inside disk face. I have to admit it's been a long time since I've done my own disk and pad work but...
