    Scarab Green (?) Ph1 172 - A4146 Leighton Buzzard

    Saw a beautiful Ph1 172 in Scarab Green (I think) near Leighton Buzzard this afternoon. Looked just like this: https://live.staticflickr.com/5255/5458569703_6a92e1625e_b.jpg Anyone on here?

    Autocar Feature

    Anyone spot the small 182 feature in Autocar this week? In their "39 Used Car Bargains" article in the section "Cars That Won't Depreciate Much" But we all already knew that didn't we 😏

    220 Trophy 'Practicalities'

    Thinking of moving up to a 220 Trophy, does anyone with kids have one? How much room is there in the back for car seats? Also, what's the real world mpg like? I'm going to be using it for a 90mile round trip on the M1 every day, need something after my 230k 320d is on its way to car heaven and...

    Another Starter Motor Gone (182)

    Is there any known design 'issue' with the 182 starter motor, or its location or something? Yesterday mine wouldn't start, the AA helped me bump start so does look like another starter motor has failed on me. That's 2 that have gone now in the 3 years I've owned it - with the latest only being...

    The Petrol Blue in 'for sale' section

    Not really any of my business as it's not my car for sale, and I'm forbidden from buying 'another Clio' 😂 But I did look at the ad and think that seems reasonable money. From zooming in one of the pics of that you can just about make out the reg number... and it's a car which seems to have...

    Decent Bodyshops / Bedfordshire

    Anyone recommend any decent bodyshops vaguely near Beds/Bucks to get a few bits done. My 182 is LY which I've heard is hard to work on, is that true? Got a scuff on the wing mirror, 'scratch' on the door and some laquer damage on the rear. Possibly easy things to deal with but I'm not that way...

    Ktec Front Splitter

    Has anyone got the Ktec 182 front splitter, show me a picture (not the carbon one)? Quite hard to tell how it looks on their website. Is it worth the £100+ or better to just get a Fabia one for more like £20?

    Dark Blue Phase 1 172 near Leighton Buzzard

    Saw a phase 1 172 in very dark blue coming down the A4146 Leighton Buzzard bypass earlier today. Didn't catch the reg though. Anyone on here? Do love the front end of the phase 1s, wish they'd combined it with the 182 back end 💭

    182 Won't Start

    🤬🤬 car! I'm starting to think I might be coming towards the end of my time with 182s 😆 16 year old French car, getting a bit sick of the gremlins tbh. Took car out for a drive earlier today and all was fine; even stopped for petrol; no issues... half hour later returned to car in car park and...

    Renaultsport Specialists (Beds/Bucks area)

    Hi all, My 182 that I've owned since July has always been looked after by Rentech (@Mike@Rentech presumably), and is now due cambelt etc. Problem is I live in Leighton Buzzard so taking it down to Portsmouth is a bit of a ball ache and my Mrs thinks its mental to go all that way 'just for a car...

    Liquid Yellow 182 on Autotrader

    http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201705085215522?atmobcid=soc3 Anyone know this car? Any thoughts? I asssume it has a £1k premium straight away just because of the colour... but I do love liquid yellow and really want to get back into 182 ownership so thinking of going to take a look.

    Headunit Installation Questions

    I'm looking to get a new headunit, so that I can use an aux in and occasional USB (although that's not vital). I just need to know how to (if possible) retain use of the steering wheel controls and also the LCD info. 1) What do I need to look for on the new headunit to support these/what...

    'Newbie' 182 Owner

    Hi all, Been registered on here for ages since owning a Mk1 16v many many years ago! Always wanted to try a 182, so after 3 weeks or so of waiting for the right one to come up, I went and bought a RB 182 this afternoon, and feeling pretty damn pleased right now! Such a good fun car, can't...

    Immobiliser ’Key’

    I have what I assume is the standard Ph 1 immobiliser key where you connect the key to the slot before it allows you to start the engine. I wondered, are the keys universal? I need a replacement as the plastic which holds it on my keyring has snapped meaning I have to keep it seperate, which...

    On-Screen Speedo/Computer

    When I went to see Ben Js Clio last week he had an on-screen MPH/rev counter display computer thingy - it was wired to his ECU and pretty clever. Anyone know what Im talking about, or where I can get one? He doesnt know as it was a pressie apparently!

    Radio/Electrics Problem

    Right I installed my stereo in my Clio the other day. Its fine when stationery in the car. But if I give it any revs I get an almighty crackling noise from my speakers. I thought it might just be that the speakers are shot, but it seems to be more than that. When I give the car any revs it...

    Illegal Number Plates

    My Clio currently has illegal numberplates. (Supplied like that by the dealer I bought it off). Just wondered what the penalty is if the police decide to have a word for it? The font is entirely illegal. They look good, but I want to know if its worth not getting some legal ones. How much...

    Just Got My First Clio!

    Just got my first Clio today - a phase 3 RSi. Loving it so far, a big improvement on my old AX 1.1 anyway! :) Funniest thing was though, within 5 minutes of leaving the dealer I bought it from, a Williams comes up on my ass and reminded me that I only have a warm hatch for now... But...
