Hi all, I have a set of 172 cup turinis which I fancy getting refurbed for getting my RB182 out of the garage and MOT'd soon. Can't quite make up my mind on colour. Thinking either a fairly light coloured grey or silver? Also, my car is totally standard and so is at standard cup suspension...

Hi all, I'm need to do the timing belt on my 2.5 dci master. I have the locking tools etc but would like a renault workshop manual for this. Would be must appreciated if any of you could share a workshop manual for anything with a 2.2/2.5dci engine or laguna etc. Thanks, Rick

Hi all, My 2009 1.2 16v Clio was running fine. I then checked and adjusted the valve clearances to 0.10mm inlet and 0.20 exhaust. First start up after this it was misfiring at idle. No fault codes. Engine will stall if held on slight throttle. Revs initially lift, dip and then stalls. Engine...

Hi all, My brothers 2009 1.2 16v Clio had been sat for 18 months. Started up as if it was running the day before. Drove it up home and check injection appeared. Clip is showing it as a throttle body fault. It’s intermittent so it sometimes isn’t present when the engine is started. Live data...

Hi all, I installed V203 on my W10 32 bit laptop. I have the china clone RLT2002 probe. Works fine and have been using on my old x86 Dell netbook for a while on V193. Drivers seem to be installed ok but I cannot find the sensor when I open clip. I changed the probes files in config for the my...

Evening all, My 182 has always had a bit of an odd problem with the cruise control. It and the speed limiter work fine but the buttons don’t do what they should. Currently speed up either cancels or does speed up, depends on what way it’s pressed, speed down always speeds up, the cancel button...

Hi all, I was in the daily 1.2 mk2 today and went to put down my drivers window and all I heard was bang, the window continued to go down at the front but stayed high at the rear which then led to the window falling out of its runner in the rear of the door and totally out of the window frame...

Hi, So in August I ordered and fitted a new handbrake cable for my 182, no issues. Today I tried ordering a cable for the left side as there is now too great an imbalance and was told it is now listed as NLA. So I’ve had to order a first line part from my local motor factors. Not ideal as I...

Hi, My brother has a 2009 1.2 16v Clio. When he got it I noticed when engaging reverse the revs would drop and it’s like clutch was dragging, it’s like it’s trying to slightly move back but doesn’t. I then changed the gearbox oil with elf and it cured it. This was at 58k. The car is now at...

Hi, On the way to MOT the O/S anti roll bar bracket that attaches to the wishbone broke. I ordered one from Renault who then advised me that it has been discontinued for UK supply but still available in France. I rang Renault UK and explained that I require this part and if there was...

Hi, My front fog lights no longer work. I have checked a few threads already on here but none are conclusive. I have checked to make sure all wiring is plugged in and bulbs aren’t blown. Fuse isn’t blown either. The rear fog works fine. When I turn the switch for the front fogs (headlights...

Hi, I’ve a problem with my passenger side headlight adjuster. When the headlights are on, the adjuster makes noise every 5-10 seconds. Sometimes it doesn’t make noise but most times it does. I thought it was the classic broken adjuster but it’s not broken. The arm on the level switch on the...

Hi, As some of you may know I bought my 182 needing an engine. Now that the car is on the road again we decided to lift the head off the original engine to see if we could find the cause of failure. Failure is in cylinder 2. The spark plug threads are not good from the plug being struck (gap...

Hi all, I have Fuchs Titan sintofluid in my 182. I used this oil in a BMW I had a few years ago and I immediately noticed it made the gear change equivalent to changing gear in a dumper, especially when cold. I’m noticing the same in the Clio, the gear change is nowhere near as slick as my...

Hi all, I have a bit of a blow where the mid pipe meets the cat. The top part of the flange has corroded. Rest of the pipe is fine but its blowing here as its not sealing correctly against the cat. Whats the best solution? Car is still on full standard exhaust which isn't actually in bad...

Hi, I’ve forgot where these go since putting my new engine in... Can anyone tell me what goes in this clip? And where does this bolt to? Cheers, Rick Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi, I fitted an generic inner boot to the drivers side shaft but sure enough the clip hit the block. I’m tempted to buy the OE inner boot kit as these appeared to be available when I was in with the dealer. Does anyone know what tool is required or how do you fit the flat boot clips...

Hi, When I got my car I noticed the alarm LED on solid. The scuttle drain near the siren was blocked so it has been wet. When I lock the car with the bonnet open it doesn't do the high pitched whine. Anyone had this issue? Cheers, Rick

Hi, My middle scuttle drain is blocked and flooding the drivers carpet and below the drivers seat. Water is not draining from the middle scuttle drain ( the hole below wipers is clear) so I assume the outlet for this is blocked. For the life of me I cannot find it... Can anyone describe where...

Hi, I noticed a leak on my replacement engine which I feared is the crank seal. Sure enough, I whipped off the flywheel and was met with this mess. Going to order a seal and flywheel bolts tomorrow. I've read a few thread on here about changing this seal, but I am confused. In some...

Hi all, I am going to change the timing belt and dephaser on my replacement engine next week before I get it into the car. Is it required to replace the crank pulley bolt? Seen some people saying they don't? Also where is the timing belt guide on the forum? (I am a paid member) I think there...

Hi all, I finally got my purchase home. Some of you may have seen my thread were I was struggling to get the car lifted and brought to NI. Well, I finally got a transport company here to lift it for me and I picked it up yesterday. The car is a 2004 RB182 with both cup packs I won on ebay...

Hi all, I’ve made a purchase of a non runner RB 182. I’m from NI so I’m thinking of different ways to get it home. I’d need the car lifted from Reading and taken to Birkenhead where I would meet the person who lifts the car for me. Do any of you know someone or recommend someone who does...

Hello. Iv got a 1.2 8v with 17" wheels on it and tbh it is DEAD slow. I put 14" steel wheels on it last night and there was some difference but they are hateful looking so had to come back off. I was wondering what are good websites to buy wheels off? I'd be wanting 15" wheels. Rik
