I’m in the process of fitting a JMS inlet to my 182 and need a bit of advice regarding remapping it. I’m not 100% sure if my car is currently running the 98 Ron map from Henk @ Rs Tuner. There’s a sticker on the engine cover, so I’d assume so. This locks the ECU (according to most who have had...

There’s a local Kangoo with what must be a 172/182 lump in it. Goes rather well and has buckets + is stripped out inside. Managed to have a quick look the other day when parked. Very cool. Anyone on here?

Anyone know of how/where to get a set of these rubber stopper things for the fuel filler cap. The guy who had them on Instagram seems to have disappeared.

This is incredibly sad but has anyone managed to sort the colour on their seatbelt tensioner. Mine are currently pink and faded. I wouldn’t mind trying to bring the colour out in them and bringing them up back to red. What’s the best way of going about this? I’ve tried a bit of heat but it...

Spotted a silver 182 in Lidl in Hawick today. Anyone on here? Always good to see another one around locally.

Has anyone managed to get Renault or an indy to re-code a key for them, or even sort a new key out? One of my keys died last month and won't activate the central locking BUT it will still start the car etc. The red light doesn't flash on the fob even after a battery change. Thankfully the...

I’m storing my car over the next few months and need to get myself a trickle charger to keep the battery in decent nick while it’s laid up. CTEK chargers seem to be the ones to go for but is there anything else out there that’s worth considering? What are people using here? Halfords sell some...

How is everyone else cleaning under there car in the winter? I usually get it up on axle stands, use the hose and APC with a load of brushes but it’s Baltic outside and rolling around on the floor soaked soon gets tiresome haha. I’ve seen these mentioned a few times and would love to know if...

Does anyone have a recommendation on where to get a turbo rebuilt/refurbed in the UK? Plenty of places seem to be decent but I’ve read the horror stories with badly refurbed units and cheap Chinese internals…

I’ve spent the last 6 months or so chasing leaks in my 182 and think I’ve pretty much sorted them. However, with the cold weather at the moment, the windows steam up like mad overnight. My recirculation flap has been stuck open since the summer and I’ve not been able to close it yet. Would...

Spotted a tidy silver 182 in Hawick today. Snapped a few pics because I’m a sad git. Seems to be a couple of 1*2’s around here

Trying to source a pair of rear beam brackets seems to be impossibly hard. Does anyone know if the brackets from a PH1 172 will fit a 182? There’s one in my local scrappy, but due to Covid etc, you can’t have a look around. Failing that, are the brackets the same on a cooking spec (1.4/1.2)...

Spotted a tidy 172 in Galashiels today behind the Shell garage. Half cage, 2118’s, OMP wheel etc, very nice. Anyone on here?

Hi chaps, Does anyone know the correct torque setting for the two bolts at the base of the front dampers - they bolt to the hub. Ive trawled through the guides here but some say 105nm for the top bolt and either 140nm or 180nm for the bottom bolt. Any clarification would be grand (y)

Those of you running the brembo 4 pots from a 197/225, where did you get your calipers machined to run 280mm discs? I’m currently weighing up the 300mm/280mm setup and leaning towards the 280mm. From what I’ve read, 5mm needs to be taken off the mounting points on the calipers and the...

Does anyone have an idiots guide to bleeding the coolant? I’ve just refreshed my coolant pipes/rad/thermostat and went to bleed it today. I removed the expansion tank cap, undid the bleed screw by the thermostat housing and let the air escape until coolant was flowing out with no bubbles. The...

Does anyone know the size of the Map sensor o-rings? Mine have seen better days and have bits missing. I’ve had a search on here but can’t seem to find any sizes.

I had to take my dash out to sort a few jobs. Got the lower dash in today and connected all the wires; but there’s one left that I can’t find a connector for. anyone have an idea what this is for and where it plugs into? it comes from behind the passenger airbag in the dash and wraps around the...

I’ve got a new heater matrix to fit in the coming weeks, so I’m refreshing the cooling system while I’m at it. My radiator is in ok condition but for the sake of £70, it’s make sense to fit a new one while I’ve got the coolant pipes off etc. Can you fit a new rad without disturbing the...

Evening chaps, I’ve been battling a leak in the drivers footwell of my 182 for a couple of months now. Took the carpet out and put down a dusting of talc to try and trace it. Turns out it’s dropping coolant as the tiny puddle in the footwell is green and sweet smelling. I did think the coolant...

I’m hoping the collective minds on here can help out with this one. I’ve been working my way through sealing all the leaks in my Clio 182. Pretty much spot on now, however, I just want to double check these rear quarter window seals. From what I’ve read the rear quarter windows are bonded in...

Evening All, I've got a fresh set of cup shocks and Grams springs arriving next week, so thought i'd take the old standard front shocks/springs off today. Drivers side came off a treat., however the passenger side is a right git to get off. The top mounts are off, car is on axle stands but...

Evening all, I've been eyeing up Clio 182's for bloody ages as i wanted something for the weekend and the occasional Friday blast to work. This one came up close by in Glasgow on Gumtree last month and after a few messages i chucked down a holding deposit until i was free to collect it. Fast...
