Thankyou :) my boyfriend lives in cannock and I was heading there at around that time, I think I do remember a silver ph2 going the opposite direction by the traffic lights?

Recently got my liquid yellow 182 and was woundering if any previous owners were on here :)

Probably mine lol :)

So do I! But I doubt it will be an easy fix it seems it's been passed about so much with this problem! I'll give you a call tomorrow

I'm not a he I'm a she lol! And the Renault specialist I took it too said everything looked find when they had the laptop connected to it but they said the manifold gasses were reading a bit high, I don't know what would be the cause of that.. fred how much do you charge to look over cars?

He's worked on lots of them and rebuilt another 182 recently so knows what he's doing! The fault is to do with this crank sensor and flywheel target that no body seems to know about! I don't have the money to spend on it atm so was after advice if anyone else has had these faults.. If I had the...

One down the back of McDonald's and total petrol station in hoo brook

It's been suggested by ktec who did the work to the car a few years ago that maybe there's a chip out of a tooth on the flywheel? Hence the flywheel target fault and the crank sensor constantly thrown up on the diagnostics? My mechanic timed up my old 172 due to the timing being out but he said...

Had the timing checked at a garage though? The cams wouldn't affect how it needs to be timed would it?

I got one locally of a car I know that runs well for a tenner so thought it was worth a try! It's still throwing up this crank sensor fault and flywheel target fault. I don't have the money to take it to a specialist at the moment!!

It drives like a 1litre till 5k and then it really pulls and feels quicker but it's up till the 5k I have the problem. Going to try tht camshaft sensor today

It's never been right since I've had it but because I was used to a diesel I didn't pick up on it being not right, I've googled the fault and its brought my car up several times so it seems it has had the problem for quite a while before I got it, and I can't afford to take it to a garage again...

Will do a compression test and have never heard of the vvt is that a common fault? What symptoms would you have if that sensor has failed?

Would that not come up on a diagnostics? If that was gone what would it do and where is that located?

It's crap till 5k.. And yes a specialist he said its all spot on. It's this flywheel target which is the problem but no body has a clue that I have spoke to, even ktec when I rang them said its rare for a 182 it's only the newer ones that suffer with that problem

150 I think, no air leaks, sparks fine, it drives fine is just as flat as a fart till 5k

Right guys I'm really struggling with my 182 and need help! It's seriously lacking power and we can't find the cause and its now starting to cost serious money! The engine management light is on, airbag light is on, traction control light is on and serv light is on.. the car brings up crank...

Yea the splitter is totally bollaxed tbh!! Had other issues that are being sorted first but the splitter will be when everything else is done! :) the springs are red is the std cup suspension red?

Grille just needs some gel as I'd just flatted and mopped the crusty headlights so I'd scrubbed the g10 off the grill and it went a bit dry looking :) according to a Renault specialist I took it too apparently it's the cup pack suspension but I'm not sure so took their word for it :)

Hi just thought I'd share with you all some pics of my RB which I've had about 4months now :)

i got offered good money for it so i sold it, and ive always regretted it, bought the ph2 a few months ago but it will never match my ph1 :(

carbon bonnet too :( ive got a ph2 172 now and its lovely just not the same :(

so most prob burnt out then :( i loved that car and ive always regretted selling it :(

went on askmid and its coming up uninsured, tried a status check on dvla and it brought up no such vehicle, so ive just done a text check on her and she was stolen in nov 2010and a recovered vehicle damage category A does that mean she was stolen and burnt out?? :'(

i paid 120 quid to have a dephaser ftted ( i supplied the dephaser pulley) i drove my car for about 2months before i had it replaced, it just sounded like a rough as fcuk diesel when warm and was a bit down on power.

anyone know who has or whats happened to my old clio sport? miss it :(

No it was staying on, but turn the ignition off and it would go off, It's running now tho, my chap turned ignition on n off quickly about ten times then tried to start it and it's been fine since?

Got it to turn over now and everything to work but it will turn over and then stops it self turning over, help???

I've got a Clio 172, just took the stereo out and put it back in and now nothing will work and it won't start, all ignition lights come on and stereo powers up but that's it. Any ideas what it cud be? All fuses are ok on side of dash and in engine bay

lol, you would actually believe it was though! it sounds like a dci thats done space ship mileage!
