After asking around it looks like I have the common failed rheostat problem. I was going to buy the part and replace it myself as it has been said that it is an easy job, was just wondering if anyone could show me a picture of where it is or describe to me in detail how to get to it? Cheers :D

Today my blowers stopped working on my 182. The temperature control still lights up and all control seem to work, the blowers just dont blow any air not matter what i press. I popped the bonnet and there is a very high pitched noise coming from a part of the engine. I have attached a graphic...

Anyone know where in my engine bay this 182 part is from (http://www.wdart.co.uk/cliosport/182part.jpg) I popped my 182 's bonnet open to check the oil and it was sitting in behind the battery. Haven't got a clue where it came from or how it got there. It looks like a pipe of some sort runs...

Hey everyone, got a problem with my gearbox and was hoping someone would have an idea what it was. Yesterday when I got in my car to drive it i noticed 5th gear was feeling tight. 4th gear is "very slighty" tighter as well. It feels as though I'm pushing against rubber when I'm putting it into...

Hi everyone, sorry about the need for a really quick answer here. My alarm goes off every night without fail for no reason and the neighbours are quite rightly getting peeved! Had notes left on my window etc. I took it into Renault Paisley today to get fixed and they say the alarm hasnt...

Hi guys, My 182 is going in for it's 12000 mile service on Saturday morning. I've been adviced to buy my own oil. I've heard someones name thrown about called Debbie, can anyone give me the contact details for her and tell me what I should ask for? Also, being as I may have left it a...

Hi everyone, I need to get new front tyres for my 182. First change. I was wondering if I should replace them with the ones I already have (origional 182 tyre) or go for something else like the Goodyear F1. Any suggestions? Also, what is the exact tyre that was origional on my 182? I tent...

Hi everyone, I got a letter from my dealer today telling me that my 12,000mile service has been booked for the 6th December. Is there anything I need to know about this? Do I need to get my own oil and if so can anyone tell me where from. Is there anything else I should buy myself to get...

I was in an accident last year with an old man who stupidly drove out from a junction wihtout looking and hit me. The whole incident was 100% his fault, he admitted liability and my insurance cleared me of any wrongdoing in the situation, informing me that they recovered all costs involved inthe...

Hi all, I was wondering what a 182 would look like in chrome so had a little go at it on my dinner. Its just a quicky and there is a bit much noise in the image though. Thought some of you may be interested in seeing it so decided to upload it. I used javascript openWin...

Started my 182 today and the SERV light stayed on. The trip computer started to flash oil. Im assuming this means my car is to go for an oil change? The milage has just hit 7840 mile which I thought was an odd time for it to come on. If it does need an oil change, whats the best option for...

Sometimes it feels like my rev limiter kicks in too early on my 182. The red bars dont begin until about 7200rpm on the display but at about 6500 the limiter kicks in. The engine is always warmed up sufficient before I take the revs up. Is this right?

Took a long weekend up in Fort William and had the absolute pleasure of driving my 182 on some of the finest scenery, and fun roads in Scotland. The car was an absolute dream on them, very twisty, long straights through the moors, windy roads through the valleys, the lot. I can honestly say the...

OK, ive had my car just over a month now(has got 1500 miles on it) so naturally the interior was getting dirty. So today I went out to hoover it out etc. I took out the mats supplied when I bought the car and to my absolute SHOCK horror under neath was like a mudfield. Im not kiddin gwhen I say...

Is it possible to have the alarm on my 182 chirp when you activate/deactivate it. If so can I do it myself or is it a dealer mod?

Got this in my renault newsletter today and thought Id put up a link incase anyone has not see it. http://www.renaultsport.co.uk/roadcars/clio182cup/news/story2.asphttp://www.renaultsport.co.uk/roadcars/clio182cup/news/story2.asp

Hi guys, I got my squew steering wheel fixed today. The tracking was out. Happy now that its fixed but a little bit peeved it was allowed to leave the dealers brand new with squew tracking/wheel alignment. It has not only sorted the steering wheel being squint but has also rather dramatically...

My clio is a 54 plate 182 with cup packs. If I take my car into someone like kwik fit to get the tracking/wheel alignment checked do they have to know its not a standard 182. Does the upgraded suspension make a difference to the tracking/wheel alignment?

Do any of you 182 owners have a lot of play on your clutch pedal when it is fully out? Mine seems to have about 1-2cm of play where it sort of rattles. You also need to push past this before you actually control the clutch. It reminds me of when the top teeth used to snap on my ford...

GOt my 182 today, Big smile from ear to ear now, been driving it for about 5 hours now, got work in the moring though so I better get some sleep :) GOt a quick question though. Is there a big difference as the engine does more miles. Its real fast right now, esp when it gets over 5000rpm. But...

My insurance is asking if my car has been altered or has any optional extras. Im insured with Admiral. Being the cliosport do you think its a safe bet that they would never pick up on upgraded suspension, spolier pack and anthracite wheels? Does everyone else with a 182 and packs confirm...

Hi guys/gals, I’ve bought a new Black Clio 182 from my local dealer which has the cup packs on it. Long story but I actually bought one they had in the showroom which apparently had the suspension pack on it, only to discover after reading this and renaultsport forum that it actually didn’t...
