I had an Abarth 500 Essesse before the Clio. As stock it went around Snetterton all day long without issues or brake fade (and was consistently quicker than a Clio Cup - though that could just be the driver :) ). It was the lure of the different that brought me to the Clio; it's a great car and...

I'm already £1k in with servicing/belts/tyres etc. I think the depreciation on the 595 would be less! But I always wanted one of these, so I suppose I stop moaning and spend all my pay on it...

The rear shocks need changing, so might just throw money at it (I should have just bought a nearly new Abarth)

No idea on the shocks. Could be 14 years for all I know!! ?

I had the same issue this weekend. My 182 is on eibach spring and the standard 205/45/16 wheels, which I have two sets of. The first set is on Rainsport 3s and has no issues at all The second is on Pilot Sports and rubbed on the arches as soon as I put them on. Around Bedford Autodrome on...

How does these look? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2x-OE-Quality-Replacement-KYB-K-Flex-Front-Suspension-Coil-Spring-RC2252/141542917421?fits=Model%3AClio%7CCars+Type%3A2.0+16V+Sport&epid=1943500677&hash=item20f49d852d:g:nOAAAOSwYGFUuDey

Orange. But take a look at my avatar pic of the car. Gives a good impression of how low it sits

I'm probably in the minority here, but I really dislike the stance of my 182 with the after market Eibach Sportline Lowering Springs I believe these are lowered by 45-50mm on the Front, and by 30mm on the Rear Anyway, aesthetic considerations aside, I'd like to replace these out for something...

To follow-up on this: Took the car to get new rear pads and and the brake fluid changed and bled. The brake peddle now feels connected to the system and the car will slow with relatively little pressure on the peddle From my, admittedly subjective view point and limited road to test (London rush...

@Sunglasses_Ron : thanks for the tip. I move house this weekend, but I'll try in future

@wiv678 Hi all. New to 182 ownership. Is there any London meet scheduled? Would like to discuss what's gone wrong with mine this month with sympathetic ears

Hi All, To my title, I know the real 'value' in having the belts changed as per the service schedule is that they don't let go and ruin the engine, but how much monetary value does having the belts done add to the average Clio 182? My scenario is as follows: Scenario 1: Car is 04/05...

Can air enter the system? In the period the car was sat it was pretty cold with snow etc.

He was a big man. Made of granite

Ahhh... Balls. Any advice to get me up to this number?

The MOT brake test results: Front Left: 253 Front Right: 263 Rear Left: 109 Rear Right: 112 The guy in the MOT centre said all good, although advised the pads on the rears could do with changing before long. Anyone see anything strange in the results? @JamesBryan : What is the expected result?

@Brigsy : I've seen the leave in gear advice a few times. I'll try

@JB21 : I think the MOT brake tester is a good call. A garage local to me will do this for free On the relation to the handbrake, am I right in assuming that the handbrake actuates the calipers to lock the wheels. If my handbrake works perfectly, then the calipers could not have seized?

Hi All, I’ve experienced my first issue with my Clio 182 and so here is my first post Background Around three weeks ago, I washed my car and then applied handbrake and left the car to sit (without moving it post-wash) for two weeks. On my return and went to move the car and the rear pads had...
