Im buying a 2nd hand 182 and the dealership put it through MOT today (its an 05 with 34k) and it failed with very similar results.... the dealership dont know whats wrong with it either....
What ended up being wrong with ur motor?
nah the fella I was talking to was the sales manager.... said he would change it but would only do the AUX belt... not that worried though, should be giving a deposite on it tonight all being well :)
mmmm well with any 2nd hand car I suppose you do buy a risk... air con was running great on the test drive (and if it packed in I reckon i could live without it, i prefer the window open and the exhaust note :)
the guy is selling it on for a profit just...
In terms of mods i dont recon there...
Cheers mate :) the fella agreed to put a new wheel on it straight away :)
I think it has the cup suspension pack by the sound of things... gonna give him a bell in the morning and see if he will do the belts, if so hes got himself a deal :)

I take it its mostly labour that your paying for at about £70ish an hour?
thanks for all the advice guys, keep it coming :)
how much does that normally work out at and is it a big job?
Yeah I think it does have the cup pack although it doesnt say... if you enter bt28 3bz as your postcode in autotrader its the blue 182
Its 2005 model and is £7k, but I have been offered a good trade in so its not that bad.
Thats cool, I thought it might have been normal but wanted to check as they are expensive pieces of kit to replace :)
Hi guys,
I am new to the forum, and would just like a bit of advice on the Clio 182.
I have found a VERY clean example, (although it is a bit expensive...) and I have had a quick look around it and it seems to be in great nick, you could even eat you dinner off the engine bay!!!
I just...
