Hi I've just tried installing the MKi9000 Bluetooth kit that was in my Clio 182 into my Brother's Clio 3. The connections are all the same, and from what I can see there live feed etc works in the same way. It's all plugged in, however the Parrot unit doesn't seem to have any power, or at...

Hi I'm looking for a replacement flexi hose (the one that runs from the intake to the air box). Does anyone have a part number, or know where I could order one? (Or have a spare lying around). Cheers

Was driving to work this morning when I suddenly lost power, and the engine light started flashing. I've managed to nurse it home, so it's safely parked back up outside. Is it likely to be a blocked/damaged cat, or something more serious? I've got a decat pipe in the garage, but the noise was...

Obviously my car is upset that I've decided to put it up for sale, so this morning my ABS light has re-appeared. It came on briefly just before I was getting it MOT'd, but once it was cleared it has been fine since. Before I find somewhere that can read the code, are there any common issues...

I've got a Scorpion exhaust (RS192 I think) with an original Cat on my car, but I'm having issues with it blowing at the cat/manifold join, and also the mounts are in a right mess. A couple of the rubber mounts have perished, so have been repaired with cable ties by the looks of it, and I...

My brother has just bought a MK3 Clio, which has two keys. A flip key, and a more basic plastic one. We were told the flip key needed a new battery, so he has bought a new battery for it, but it's not being recognised by the car. Is there a programming/sync procedure that needs to be...

I'm running Nankang NS2Rs on 15" OZ F1s. What tyre pressure should I be going for? I'm doing a trackday tomorrow too, so will probably knock it down a couple of psi for that. Thanks

Managed to get front discs and pads switched over last night, along with new braided hoses (rear one were a bit messy!) All I had to do this morning was borrow an Eezebleed and change & bleed the brake fluid. Rears were fine, fronts not so much. Both bleed nipples were rusted and were already...

Problem with my radio code - NOW SORTED Don't know what I did differently, but managed to get it to work!

I've noticed that when the clutch pedal is engaged (even partially), there is a squeaking/squealing noise coming from the engine bay of my 182. It sounds like it could be a belt or something, but as soon as I'm off the clutch pedal it goes away. Any ideas what this could be? I've only really...

I know this has probably been asked plenty of times, but I couldn't find an answer using the search function. I'm getting a set of Oz F1s to use as trackday wheels, and I'm currently on the hunt for some tyres. Should I be looking at 195s or 205s for a 182? I don't want to spend a...

The previous owner replaced the Xenons on my 182 with standard headlights after the xenons started leaking/steaming up or something. Am I right in thinking that these parts are easily interchangeable? How much difference do the xenons make? Is it worth trying to find a set, or should I just...

I picked up my new 182 this evening, and first impressions are good, although it'll take a bit of getting used to after my 330. The main complaint is probably the exhaust. It's currently got some sort of scorpion exhaust with decat. Driving home on the motorway wasn't too pleasant (although I...

Hi all I'm hopefully picking up a 182 sometime next week, so as usual I'm already putting a shopping list together! I'm intending to do the odd track day so want something supportive, and as I'm pretty call (6'3ish) I could with something a bit lower than standard! It's not going to be...

I went to see a 182 the other day, and the rear suspension (I think it was the n/s only) was creaking (sounded like a dry joint). Is this likely to be something straightforward to sort? The owner said she took it to a high street place to look at, and they couldn't see anything obviously wrong...

I've been to see a nice 182 for sale near me, however the alternator has gone. The seller is going to try and source and fit one, but I thought I'd try and find out how much an alternator costs (is it worth getting a second hand one?), and how much of a pain it is to fit. By all accounts it's...

Hi All, Not posted on here for a while. My 04 Clio needs an MOT next week, and it's also due a cambelt/auxbelt service. It's on around 45k miles, but is coming up to 6 years old I believe. Does anyone know how much roughly a belt change service should cost at an indy? I'll phone a...

My Clio is around 5 years old now and roughly 40k miles, There wasn't a huge amount of history with it so am unsure of when or whether the belts have been changed. Am I right in thinking it's 5years/70k miles for the aux/cambelt changes? How much should I be looking at paying to change the...

I've posted this in the problem section, but wasn't sure where was best! Had a 4 hour drive earlier, and about halfway back what sounded like the passenger side front wheel started scrubbing against the arch liner or something It started off fine until I got to about 40/50 and the noise...

Had a 4 hour drive earlier, and about halfway back what sounded like the passenger side front wheel started scrubbing against the arch liner or something It started off fine until I got to about 40/50 and the noise would get faster/louder the faster I went. I pulled over a couple of times to...

One more question! Do I need to take the whole caliper off and disconnect the brake fluid thing or as I read somewhere am I able to take off the bottom bolts and replace the disc with the caliper hinged at the top? Does that make sense, or is it easier to take off the whole thing? Cheers

I can't seem to find my haynes manual, If anyone has one handy could they do me a huge favour I need to change the front discs & pads on my 1.2 and was hoping that someone may be able to scan the page on changing front pads/discs! If not I'll pop into halfords on the way back tomorrow and try...

Just taken my 04 1.2 clio for an MOT and came back saying the front dics(s) were excessively worn They gave me a quote of £189 to replace both front discs/pads inc labour etc Seems like a lot, what are you're thoughts? Heard him on the phone and it sounded like the parts guy said it was...

I'm looking at quotes for my 1.2 clio at the moment, cheapest are around £500 I'm 20, with 3 years ncb. Can anyone recommend any decent companies to try? I've seen a couple of places who offer 3rd party cover on other cars, but can't remember which companies they were! I know one was about...

Couple of days ago my auto lights didn't turn on, can't see how you turn it on/off! Afaik it's always been on, and I don't have the handbook Any ideas?

just sat in my car, remembered what I was going to ask! Are both the front windows meant to be one touch? Drivers side works fine, but passenger side you have to hold the switch - just wondering if this was normal or if I could do anythingabout it Thanking you

gotta sort out my insurance renewal for my 1.2 best quote so far is with swiftcover at about £680 aged 19, with 2 years no claims + parents as named drivers norwich union simple cover was similarly priced but does anyone know or use anyone else i could try? tried bell, elephant admiral etc...

got a 1.2 16v clio recently, reset the computer thing and have been trying to drive economically! most of the journeys are relatively short i guess, but even with a few motorway trips ( bout 1hr each way ) i can't get over 40mpg after reading the other thread about how much some people are...
