In the next 6-12 months i will hopefully be in the position to buy a new car.
Had my 182 for 3 years now and would possibly get another RS clio.
My question is for around a similar price should i look at a 197 or a throttle bodied 1*2.
I am only doing around 6k miles a year (Hence the 182...
Having problems with my heating not working. The CC is showing all buttons and lights and is working as normal.
But no air is not being blown at all.
Tried shorting pins one and 5 on the resistor pack plug but nothing happened. Also wasnt measuring any current on any pins with the current...
Was Amazing! One of the best things ive spent my money on in a long time.
Heres some pics from the 'Tog on the dayy and one from my dad. Will upload some more later off my own camera.
I want actual facts here not hearsay/ what you have heard.
Has anybody been round bedford on a trackday with a decatted yozza on a 182.
Have been told they are a one strike and your out on the drive by mics.
So does anybody have any firsthand experiance?

Got it 1 year ago exactly at 19.
It was a Cat D write off, needed the belts doing but was only just on 19k miles.
No cup packs which didnt overally bother me but the spoiler would of been nice.
Cost...
Need new bolts, the spring ones, as mine are old and rounding off so i cant tighten them enough to stop them rattle.
Im sure i read another car uses the same bolts?
Citroen or Pugeot iirc?
The gasket is ok so id rather not have to buy the nwperformance kit.
Wondered if you could just...
Have i got this right? from what ive read...
182's and 172's that use the JC 130 box that gets the speed from the abs can use any of the 1*2 boxes but the ph1 box will have longer ratios and the speedo drive hole will need plugging.
Ph1 172 and 172 cups can use each others boxes freely but...
Had a look into hdr and thought id give it ago. Didnt have my tripod so had to do it resting instead.
I think it went ok. Any critique or pointers welcome:)
Just ordered a decat from NWPerformance and want to block teh lamba hole and tie the sensor up somewhere else as the EML would really annoy me.
What is the best thing used to block the hole?
Im guessing there must be a bolt the right size? M8 or something like that?
Any advice would be...
Just put the first layer of paint on one.
The sanding of them is so boring though.
Been doing it since 10am and still got one wheel to do!!

My emissions light came on a few weeks ago just before a service, had the garage look at it and they told me it was the precat lambda sensor.
He gave it a clean and put a block or something on it but said if it comes on again il have to get a new sensor.
