    Heater blower not working help

    Hi and welcome to Cliosport. Common fault and I experienced it on my 182 in the last two weeks. I replaced the resistor in the engine bay just by the windscreen to get mine working again. Bought the resistor on ebay. Do a search for "heater problems" as there are a few guides and walk throughs

    New house, what TV?

    Highly recommend a Samsung LCD. I have a 46" LE46A656 and very impressed with it. Great with BluRay, 360 , Wii etc and Terrestrial TV Check - www.hdtvtest.co.uk - www.avforums.com for info and advice. Got mine from John Lewis for price match & their 5 year warranty last year.

    sealent

    Beas I would seperate the joint pop some in and around the joint. Put some around the joint and then put the clamp on. Then with the clamp in place put some more on just to be safe. Basically smear the stuff every where! :O) The joint is always flexing and moving so my advice, so your not...

    New exhaust time?

    I would say go for a Miltek exhaust. Not too loud but not too quiet. At low revs and idle a nice little burble but you can hear it when you put your foot down. Also doesn't drone when on the motorway and you can still have a conversation. They also look and fit nice. Got mine from K-Tec...

    sealent

    As Fred said! I use/d some "High Temperature Gasket Sealant" from Tool Station. Its a high temp silocone sealant. Costs about £5. Used it to seal the joint from the CAT to the rear exhaust and works a treat. No more blowing and flexible. Put it between and all over the joint, bit...

    UPDATE: Melting Steering Wheel Thread

    The more people who bring this to Renault's attention the better I think. Like the bonnet catch issue, the more pressure that can be put on them the more chance we have of getting Renault to accept there is a problem. We need as many people to visit a dealership and show them their steering...

    Nokia 6500 classic battery life?

    I have one and fall into the category of low/average usage. The battery life I have found is very good. I charge it maybe once a week and it has never died on me. I use it for calls once or twice a day for a few mins at a time and a few texts. For me its a great phone, slim, light...

    Powerflow tomorrow...

    Have you considered a Miltek 182 system? Got mine from K-tec and fitted by a local garage. Great fit and sound. Cost in total £360 incl delivery, (which was next day) for the exhaust and about £30 to fit, so well within what you have been quoted. I would assume most garages would have...

    Decat on standard 182 exhaust?

    Yep me too, ran a standard 182 exhaust with a de cat for a while. Sounded much better. I have since replaced the standard exhaust with a Prospeed one, which sounds fanstastic. Relatively easy to take off de cat and put back on CAT for MOT time. I will be doing this in a couple of...
