Bugger my gamble with the 182 has failed .
Been really spluttey so tried used injectors and plugs which made no difference so stuck it in for a compression test and leak down test .
1=9.5 bar
2=8 bar
3=6 bar
4=5 bar
so seems to be head gasket leak between 3 and 4 .
To sort this i guess i'm...
Got a advisory for a corroded abs ring , when you trail brake no matter what speed and in the dry the abs kicks in.
What parts do i need to sort this ?
If you brake hard it doesn't trigger the abs.

Cars booked into garage next Monday for mot and the airbag light has decided to light up.
The garage quickly stuck it on the computer and it came up as passengers air bag pretensioner fault.
Any advice for things they should look at / workarounds?
I've zip tied the passenger connectors together...
My brother has a problem with his 1.4 dynamique.
It doesn't idle properly, so far we've tested the coil plugs and cleaned the throttle body but it hasn't made any difference.
Any suggestions?
The last couple of times I've plugged my tyre pump into the cig. lighter I've blown the blue 15 fuse?
Any ideas?
It's not a major problem I just pop another fuse in but why does it happen?
My cars due a service so I need to order my 5w40 oil.
The elf stuff is £28 but opie have gulf formula g or fuchs supersyn for £19/£24 , both are fully synthetic.
What causes the gear stick to return to the central position? Are there any springs or bushes that can be replaced?
Reason I ask is for a while mine hasn't felt stiff/accurate , its very vague/sloppy.
I'm also able to select reverse without lifting the gear knob up, I just push it across from...
What's the name of the spring that keeps the gearstick in a central position also what's the name of the part that you slip over when you select reverse gear?
I've got a cliosport 172 cup, today I was unable to change down to 1st or 2nd unless I selected reverse first.
Any ideas as to what the solution could be?
Driving home last night and into work this morning ( 2 miles lots of speed humps) the cel and airbag lights didn't go out, coming home today they went out.
Just done the car self diagnostic check and it's showing a code 19L
The cars in the garage anyway monday for clutch and new steering pump...
I'm going to have to get my clutch changed due to the sticking clutch release bearing, is it worth doing anything else whilst the sub frames lowered?
Gearbox mounts?
My 172 cup has kw coilovers , i'd like to change it due to it being rock hard.
Now i understand to go stock i'd have to buy suspension top hats due to my coilovers not having them?
My plan was to just get stock cup shocks and eibach springs and get rid of the coilovers,
Put the deposit down on a clio 172 cup today.
Everything seems fine apart form the exhaust is too loud, i couldn't do over 70mph due to the racket, so any suggestions as to what to replace it with, something less lairy and suitable for the motorway.
Hi,
Just got a clio renaultsport 172 cup for £1200.
Cambelt was done 5000 miles back, clutch seems fine, no knocking sounds in 1st/2nd gear so gearbox mount seems fine.
It has a aftermarket exhaust and bloody hell it's loud , couldn't do more than 70 on the motorway due to the noise so that...
