Ahh got it - thanks! :D

Thanks, I'll do that - What is it that tells you that the front bumper has been resprayed?

I haven't had one of these for a quite few years but would would you guys let me know what you think this Flame Red 127 Mk2 is worth: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Immaculate-2001-Clio-Sport-172-For-Sale-/330751726277?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item4d0256d2c5 Thanks in advance! Arjun

And not one flame red mk2! :o

Use the gear change light to guide you when to change up, in all gears and as long as the engine is nicely warmed up it will love it. I found that my old car performed at its best when driven for about an hour as per the above. Be brave - it can take it!

I thought they had relocated this in the 182.....

From where Geoff?

Yep, although I had the discs as well - I dont know if that makes any difference.

Youve got the right roads for it - enjoy! ;)

I think one benefit of the ECU is the incresed rev limit, which lets you do about 100 in 3rd and I understand, about 125 in 4th so I would imagine in a 0 - 100 dash youre saving 1 gear change... The idle was fine after a few minutes first thing - I had the inlet manifold too. [Edited by ak_uk...

I know how you feel, Im still missing my 172. :(

Mine didnt - have you got EBD/TC?

Powerflow, sound fab but the quality isnt what I would expect - I had two mid-silencers go in about 2 years. The lifetime warranty appears to be only from the supplying dealer and is dependent on an annual inspection - from that same dealer.

Faults I had on my mk2, now no longer with me: Airbag light - connection under passenger seat Clunking from front suspension - strut top modification needed but not a guaranteed fix, I didnt bother and it seemed to make no difference to the handling. Clunking engaging 1st gear - engine...

RED.

30000 miles in a mk2 172 and it despite a few niggles, it was definitely worth it. Im sure the 182 is the same.

I think it was worth it in my setup but I dont know what it would be like on its own. The increased in gear top speeds are useful on occasion tho when you need to hang around in one with a few revs available.

Falkirk, Stirling, Fort William, Edinburgh, Acharacle (only me) with all the places in between these...

Can anyone tell me if there is any physical difference between the 65BHP and 82BHP clio diesel engine - or is it the ECU that gives it the hike? Thanks.

And that aint no lie - he nearly crushed my hand last week. :o

Got a group N ECU (is this an R-sport one?:confused:) in a mk2 172 (without EBD and TC) from HP - works no problems.

Did you mean that?

I havent tried it but there is a letter somewhere on here that states that if you have certain documents like the original bill of sale etc., you are entitled to the 3 year warranty - you just have to show them to the dealer. If it doesnt work choose a good independent - that price for the...

You could try a independent (qualified) inspection of the car without mentioning the problems you are facing, so you wouldnt prejudice it. I dont think they are extortionate and it will be a report in writing which would help your case (if it needed to be made). If youve got car/home insurance...

As above really, thanks to those that did the hard work of organising the trip - special thanks to Yozza, Tony and Neil for all those mad bursts. Got back last night @ 3am. It was the most fun I have had driving ever - hail the Highlands!:cool:

My mid silencer baffles were left in the Highlands! :o

1766 miles and 58.6 gallons @ 30.1 mpg <-- including about a tankful @ 19.9 mpg (chasing Yozza, Neil and Tony) :D

I was told today that you can hammer a socket onto it to get them off...

Not sure about 182s but for 172s I understood that full UK spec included the CAT1 alarm upgrade and locking wheel nuts...- otherwise its only technically got a CAT2 immobiliser as standard - check out the thatcham site.. I had a CAT 1 upgrade fitted to my car and all it added was the interior...

Or maybe red...:p
