This seems like what you need, it's for a Phase1 but I can't imagine it's much different to a 182:

From memory, there's the 4 bolts that go in the bottom of the gearbox, 3 long bolts that go in the top, and two studs with nuts. One stud is on the left side of the gearbox halfway down, and the other runs into the back of the gearbox next to the starter.
I think this is all the bolts here...
Someone more knowledgeable than me might be able to jump in, but yeah around that power level I'll probably run out of fuel if they try to push it any further. I might pick up a spare set of 197's just in case, but they might not be necessary. Plus I'm not really sure if they require any special...
I'm off to EFI on the 8th to get my Clio mapped, so I'm happy to share my results once it's done so you know what direction to go with yours.
Mine's got 197 Cams, Phase 1 airbox with ITG filter, 182 manifold with decat, ported/polished inlets and the PMS lightweight pulleys with aircon...
I think the quote for my Clio at Anglesey in 2023 was around £100, but it's worth about 25p so your M4 being around £200 seems like a decent deal to me.
I've gone with the R26.R DMF in the end, came to £282. Compared to the TTV SMF which was £380ish, I'm happy to save the £100 over a very minor loss in performance.
Spot on, I figured it would make more sense to keep the DMF seeing as it's mostly a road car!
Thankfully I can get a LUK DMF for the R26.R off Autodoc for around £280, so I'll go ahead and buy that. 👌
Hi folks,
The clutch in my R26 has decided to s**t the bed, so I'm in need of some advice. I've already ordered a new R26.R clutch, but I'm wondering if I should buy a new R26.R DMF or upgrade to a SMF?
As it stands the car is mostly a road car, but I have used it on track. I know people say...
I could grab you some pictures tonight if needed, don't think I've got any currently. They've probably done about 30k miles, the top engine mount has zero play. They only one I don't have is the dogbone mount, but they differ between the Ph1 and Cups anyway.
Are you looking for new mounts, or would you take some used ones? I've just taken all 4 off my car to replace them with solid mounts, so you're welcome to them? They were all in pretty decent condition, didn't seem to be much play in them at all.
Supposedly these guys up in Scotland are now producing the RS2 intakes as they've gained the rights to it, not sure if anyone has actually managed to buy one off them however:

With no MOT and no known history of the belts being done, I'd probably say that's worth maybe £2k at the most.
I bought my nimbus grey 197 (non-cup) a couple of years back when the market was really inflated, for £2.5k on 99,000 miles, and was in the same state as yours with no MOT and the...
It’s not the batteries that were the issue, it’s the key itself. See if my method works, it’s easy enough to try. Otherwise it’s off to Renault for a new key, hopefully they still make them.
When my key was dying, I used to have issues starting the car unless I held down the button on the fob while starting the ignition. Sounds a bit wonky but it helped me start it for about 8 months until the key finally died and I had to go to Renault for a new one.
