Just got the news that, after 14 years of ownership (abuse), my 182 is dead. Needs an engine transplant if its going to be brought back and my gut tells me that isn`t worth doing. Soooooo, where do I go from here? :( What cars have you lot fallen in love with after moving on from a Clio?

and chewed a HT lead to boot..... Hey guys I'm going with the assumption that the plug has worked lose and popped out causing all of this. Before throwing a new plug and HT lead on I'm guessing i should be checking the cylinder for debris? Couple of pics below and any advice what i need to...

I know this has been asked but it`s hard working out which post to go from so quick bit of help please. When cold the car (182) revs do not drop back to 1100 like they should but stay up around 2/3k and bounce around a bit but slowly comes down most of the time. When warm it doesn`t do that...

So whilst chatting to the fella at my local Kwik Fit, whilst he was doing my Mot, I noticed the engine code he selected for the emissions test wasn`t f4r. It was for a clio but after 1.8l all he had was 16v, but the engine code was different. It failed first time as normal, so I mentioned it to...

Annual visit to the GP (MOT) has given me a couple of bits to do and I`m a bit short on time to do research due to work. Need to get this sorted, parts delivered by the weekend, so need to ask, as there are a squillion different posts: Failed on - Track rod end ball joint (Ns) and rear shock...

I have a knackered one of each of these. Can I sell them for reconditioning?

Ok so i have just done some more reading. Before I get the hammer out again... So I read you cant get the outer CV off and instead take off the inner and slide the new boot down. Now looking at my shaft there seems to some obstructions in the way..... So whats the correct way to do this...

After not noticing the key hadn`t been replaced after my last tyre change and now having a flat (hole is in the sidewall). I need to remove the tyre and after hammering, chiselling and lots of swearing I've given up. Anyone able to help? They are the ones with the spinning collar.

Noticed today that i haven`t attached the lower front gearbox mount to the actual gearbox (not the dog bone, its the one that attaches to the sub frame and the box, next to the earth strap). Kinda basic error by me but I cant find the bolts or sizes of what I should use. Can someone help please...

Firstly big thank you to all the guys who have helped so far. Changed my gearbox not to long ago. Been left with a couple of niggles that I want to ask about before taking more stuff apart; 1) is the the ABS/ESP/Serv lights are on. Now i know for sure that the column(?) came apart after I...

So snapped the little(big) clip off mine when taking it out. Put the car back together after gear box change and now after starting it i got smoke coming from the manifold area in less the 30 secs of it being started. Smoke smelled of plastic so i'm guessing its the manifold cooking the cables...

So i think I may have been a touch special when putting my gearbox back on and have knocked this bit out of line in turn i have a gap at the gearbox end Anyway to fix this? I don't have great amount of tools. I managed to do this by leaving the shaft in situ and doing up the box and its...

Just wanna check i'm not about to balls this whole thing up.<br><br>Got the box back on but not flush as the driverside shaft wont locate. I never removed driver side as thought it would slide off and on again.<br><br>So in my wisdom i thought i could kinda force it by tightening up all the...

Morning all, Was going to drive my box up to Agency tomorrow but Martin`s to busy to turn it around the same day (its a 5 hour round trip). I really need this done before the weekend and wondering if anyone has any other recommendations? Not really willing to sacrifice on quality of work so...

Hey all, Dismantled pretty much most of my front end so far trying to get my damn gearbox out. Went with the method of only dropping one side of the subframe and im about 2inchs short of space to get the box out (its currently wedged in the gap). Seems to me best option is to drop the other...

Looks like this could be good, especially if you like a scare :) http://youtu.be/LQAcGL_SAsc

Been doing a lot of reading and know I need to send the gearbox to Agency for a refurb. Normal story a guess - Whine in 5th gear for about 5 to 10k miles and now it makes a very nasty sound when putting it in 5th. Going to be doing some reading on the nut you can tighten just in case it is...

This has just been brought to my attention! http://evolvegame.com/media/video/evolve-trailer-happy-hunting looks pretty sweet!

Need to get my cam belt done and live a bit far away from Rentech Portsmouth where I took it last time. Anyone got any suggestions? Worst case I will have a day out in Pompey. Peace

So front left started making a strange grinding noise when going round corners after hitting a speed bump. Kwik Fit couldn`t find a fault (yeah I know, but still haven't been advised of any decent garages around Redhill) and I reckoned it was the CV joint as the gators been off for about 4...

Need to tap you all up for some diagnostics and advice please folks. Hit a pothole last night on my front left, car drives straight still (maybe even straighter than it did) but now when tuning left or right their is a creaking sound coming from that side, any ideas what this could be?? Its...

So took the shelf off under the engine today as had to change an engine mount and found this little sucker Now I know its not my flux capacitor as I can still reach 88mph and the car runs fine. Just interested to see if anyone has an idea as to wtf this is?

Hi all, Little help needed please The car has started to misfire over the last couple of weeks (Clio 182) and the problem has slowly got worse. My 40min drive to work today had me running on three cylinders for about half the time and fine for the rest (on and off). Last week it did the...

Outside my house practically. Your car look sound as. I would like to see the track car too one day! :)

So i`ve got the G1 and love the little bugger. Got it set up real nice and im loving the keyboard. I have the option to upgrade to the G2 (as im in my 7 day canx period ect ect). SO Anyone compared the two - Pro's/con's of the G2 compared to the G1 I know G2 has a better camera. G1 has a...

At the beaver roundabout in Chi. First person to wave back at me so im posting it up :)

Hey all, My sub is making the interior light assembly thing where rearview mirror is make a horrible vibration. I can stop it by putting my hand on it but would like to know if anyone else has found a discrete fix for this prob. And no not Gaffer tape ftw :) Quite impressed...

Hey all, Got me a rythmical kind of grating skeeking noise that sound like its coming from the engine area. Just noticed it after taking her out for a bit of heavy footed driving. No power loss just this strange extra noise that can be heard above the engine. I have a sound file but need to...
