I recently fitted a new Alpine dva-9861ri head unit to my clio but i am abit unsure weather the hu is powering up the amplified ariel or not. I seem to find that the radio reception tends to break up intermitenly. I noticed that even though the Alpine has a standard iso connector, companys do...

I have just fitted an Alpine amp and sub in the car and i am abit confused at what the ideal low pass crossover setting on the amp should be set to. The amp is an mrv-1005 and the head unit is an dva-9861r i . Also the amp has a parametric eq switch on it where you can adjust other bits and...

I am going to be fitting an amp in my 182 and was wondering what the best way is to get the power lead from the battery through into the car, ideally without drilling holes Was wondering if there are any gromets there already which i can use thanks in advance

Hi, i have just bought and fitted an 9861Ri head unit to the exsisting speakers (amps will have to come later) and have a couple of questions if anyone can advise. 1, on the setup there is this so called Bass Engine where you can alter the centre frequency and bass bandwith, do these functions...

Hi All, i have managed to take some pics of the rear mounts which Magnex made at their factory, the rubber U shaped bushes are available from Magnex should they ever need replacing in the future, you can also see the 5mm spacers where the U bolt clamps on, these are also available from them so...

Hi All, i thought i would pass this info on to you all regarding the Magnex cat back system for the Clio 182. For months i had problems with my exhaust sagging on the rear "standard" mountings so much so that it would rattle on the rear axle beam,and also the tailpipes not sitting central in the...

I have done a search on this problem before and found quite a few people have had or got the same issue with their motors. I live about 1 mile from the motorway and when i join it first thing in the morning i start to build the speed up to 70ish, the car seems fine but then i can feel a very...

Hi, i was wondering if anyone could give me any feedback regarding Dixons Renault Dealer on Wakefield road, as i am thinking of booking my 182 in there. Thanks in advance

My 182 has seemed to have developed a flat spot when its in its warming up period. What i find is that when i start it from cold i.e in the morning,it starts first time as usual but when i get to about 3000rpm mark it looses power briefly. It does this a couple of times then its fine and never...

I have a stainless steel exhaust fitted to my 182, it uses the standard exhaust mountings which unless they are helped with tie wraps seems to allow the exhaust to sag and vibrate on the axle beam.Looking at the design of the rubbers which are like star shaped having voids in them i was...

Hi All, i noticed while my car was on the ramp having its new exhaust fitted there was a rod of some description hanging down. The rod is about 4inch long with a cup at each end,there is some sort of switch fastend to the floor pan which one end fastens to, and on the axle beam there is a small...

Hi All, i was wondering if anyone has got any pics of the tail pipe position on a 182 Magnex position. The reason i am asking is that i had mine fitted yesterday and both myself and the mechanic seems to think that they "stick" out further than they should,we are going to have another go at...

Spotted this afternoon going into Castleford past Allerton By-Water Pit.....i was on the motorbike behind you getting wet through!!

Hi, first thing in the morning when i set off to work (5.30am) as you can imagine it is a bit nippy outside,the outside temp gauge usually reads about 6c. I set my heater on auto and set the temp to 23c, but what i have noticed is that if i press the screen de-mist button the blower and air con...

Can anyone tell me weather i am correct in thinking that the first service on the 182 is at 12k.The reason why i ask is that a Reno dealer in Barnsley seems to think its at 18k,i thought that was for other Clios and not the 172/182s. Also can anyone recommend a decent Reno dealer in the West...

Hi all, i have a 54 plate 182 and i was wondering if a standard Clio wheel will fit so that i can chuck it in the boot when i go off anywhere just in case of punctures,then i dont need to use the tyre weld stuff. If this is possible which model Clio would i need to look out for at the...

I just picked my 54 plate 182 from the local Renault dealers after i had noticed a knock coming from the front off side corner,it seemed to be more noticeable when in such as car parks in first gear.They have told me that it needs to have the "strut top modification" done to rectify the prob...

Hi i have a 54 plate 182 which so far i have found great,the only thing is that when the car is left for a day or two in damp weather the hand brake seems to stick on,does anyone have the same problem?? Cheers Chris
