hey all, I'm in a state of dilema at the moment. I've spent a fare whack on my 182 over the last few months, but each time i've been plagued with problems. The latest being I'm having problems getting new handbrake cables as one has snapped, and the other was stretched. Anywho, I've now...

Hi all, Really need some help here. I've snapped one of my handbrake cables, and have just jacked it up to look at the damage. The one side, is totaly gone (which had snapped), but the other side is corroded to hell. Problem is, I can't find anywhere that stocks handbrake cables for the 182...

Well, I've just pulled up at work, went to pull my handbrake on, and "SNAP". Its bust! I dunno at this stage if its the attachment on the handbrake lever or the cable (do they have cables?) I dunno... puncture yesterday! They say it comes in threes...

Ouch is all I have to say. 9pVmdR85O3I

Hi all, I finally bit the bullet and got a stainless steel cat-back system for my 182. Had a look around the area, and decided to go for a MIJ Performance one. Fitted ok (or so I thought), but I've discovered today that it's blowing from around one of the welds (which they discovered when I had...

Hey all, I'm servicing my 182 this weekend - doing the points, filters and oil, but the question is, which oil should I use. I'm thinking of using 5w40 fully synthetic stuff (yes, I know there isn't such a thing as "fully synthetic", but hey), and I was wondering, any difference between...

Heading towards hinkley on the A5. I was sat in the traffic going the opposite way- Black Gold 182 with damaged "white spot" on bonnet. Didn't see any RS clios at rockingham today.

Hey all. just found out my headlight washer nozzle is leaking. How easy are these to replace? its cracked, and I'm guessing its cause of cold weather. the other one went last winter, but had it fixed under warrenty then. Its out of warrenty now! typical!

Hey all. Doesanyone have the font that was used on the engine cover for the 16v and 2.0l on the 182? if so, would they be willing to send it? Im respraying my engine cover and having the original font would help. cheers. mb182

hey all. my 182 has started playing up over the last two days- the temperature guage keeps swinging wildly from the half way level to zero and back again when im running. ivve a feeling its either something to do with the temperature sender or the thermostat. my gut says sender as the temp...

hey guys. need to pick your brains. I've been looking at getting a set of team dynamics pro sports for my 182, but several companies I've spoken to- rimstock being the most recent, have all said that the offset for my 182 is 35-38, but I'm positive its 45. I've sent them the stats showing that...

Was sort of following you northbound from about Dartford crossing - was in a black gold 182 and was in front of you but dropped back and let you past - couldn't make out if it was a 172 or 182 so wanted to check.

Hey guys. Need some advice. I was looking at getting a set of black TD 1.2s for my 182, but have ran into a few problems. As I understand it, the offset on the 182 is et45, but I've had a company trying to tell me that if you used an et45 wheel it wouldn't clear the callipers. Am I being...

How do. Anyone had their steeringwheel reupholstered on their 182 - I'm referring to the melty/cracking problem. Mine's bad, and I've tried repairing it a few times with aroldite, but I keep getting new cracks appearing.

Well, not sure if I've put this in the right place. I'm thinking of getting a welder, but I'm not sure which is the best way to go. I've done some arc welding in the past, so am sort of ok welding, but I'm thinking of getting either a TIG or MIG welder. I'm hoping to weld aluminium, so i'm...

How do all, Anyone had a go at doing their own Port & polish? if so, any tips? I'm thinking of doing some port matching for the exhaust manifold.

Alright guys, Apologies for this, as it's not a Clio related question. Does anyone know how to adjust the angle of the brake pedal on a New Seat Leon? My old man has one and there is a MASSIVE difference in height between the brake and accelerator pedal? I drove it the other week and you...

benefit to using it, or marketing bullshit?

Had this idea for converting the dashboard on the clio into a fully digital one using OLED technology - could have a "standard" display similar to the one that is on the Clio now, but then you could change it so that it could display whatever you wanted - oil temp/pressure, boost pressure...

Keep spotting a blue 172 on my works carpark but not sure who's it is. Thought I'd post a message and see if it's anyones on here. Car looks mint, but one thing - lose the french number plate! It is illegal! Mine's the black 182.

for some reason my drivers side seatbelt isn't retracting fully - it kinda gets jammed part way, and it feels like the spring isn't pulling as hard as it does on full extension. Is there a way of adjusting it? Its just I keep shutting my belt buckle in the car door (like a complete muppet!)

Hi all, Apologies if I've posted in the wrong section. I've a bit of a dilema. I've recently resprayed the plastic dash-trims as the drivers side one was keyed by the previous owner, and resprayed them in silver (as close to original as I could get). Because of this I've some silver paint left...

I'm a recent newbie to the Photoshop cause, but I have a few problems that I've not been able to work around yet. I was looking at some of the HDR pictures that everyone posted and thought I'd have a go. Got loads of pictures from a trip to Australia I did a few years ago. I copied a picture I...

I was driving home at lunchtime today and I had my "Serv", ABS & Traction control lights come on. I've had it happen a few times - I switch the ignition off and back on and the lights go off. Anyone come across this one before? I've checked my brake-fluid level (thought that was Serv & (!) for...

Just thought I'd post this for everyone. Plenty more where that came from - just gotta transfer them to my PC! http://www.cliosport.net/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=23799&d=1193130576

Hi guys, I was looking at everyone's Paintshop images and I am thinking about getting a copy so I can do some work on the pictures I've taken from the Clio Cup support races for the BTCC. The question is, I can get a copy of Microsoft Digital Image 10 for nothing, so does anyone rate this, or...

Saw you this morning - I was in my 182 and gave you a thumbs up. No ClioSport sticker, so not sure if you're on here or not. Liking the black alloys - look sweet in combination with the black paint - wanna get some for mine for track days.

Hi all, I'm looking at getting a second set of alloys for my 182 as; 1) I want a set for track use (still got my old Michelin's with some tread left on) 2) I need to do some refurb on my Anthracite alloys as curbed to buggery. My question is, what size are the alloys for the 182, and can...

How do all, I'm respraying my interior panels on my 182 as the previous owner put a nice key scratch all across the panel by the steering wheel - need to strip it and repaint it, so thought I'd do all of them while I'm at it (and get them to match). My question is, where can you get the "AIR...
