My 182 is old enough and has enough miles on it that I want to back off using it as my daily and just use it during summer weekends pretty much. I want to keep it covered all year round just in case my new daily has issues or I fancy a random drive in it, so I was wondering if a) a low mileage...

I’ve got a bunch of electrical gremlins and I’m starting to suspect a bad earth. What’s the best way to go about diagnosing if that’s actually the case? Current symptoms: fog light flickers when I brake even though I’ve cleaned up a badly corroded connector on the driver’s side rear light...

I was under the bonnet yesterday to fit a new coil pack, and have a poke around to investigate what I think is a bad earth. While having a look around the bay I noticed this connector near the passenger side front light cluster. Any idea what it is and where it should be plugged into? I couldn't...

I used to have a 172 back in 2010 and was a member back then. I’ve had a bunch of other stuff since then but have always wanted another Clio. Fast forward to a couple of weeks ago and a mate was on about getting one, something cheap to muck about with. So I logged in here to check what was for...

I got a knock on my rear quarter last year (http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=461298) and because I've been in the middle of breaking up with the ex missus and moving down south, I've not been able to do anything about it. Paint didn't break and the scuffs rubbed off alright, so...

Was driving to see a friend this morning before work, indicated to turn right down a side road and slowed down, started the turn and got bumped by a nice lady behind in a Jag X-Type in the driver's side rear quarter. I glanced in my side mirror just before turning (although not over my...

:lolup:

What's the recommended method to debadge a phase 2? I'm thinking just a hairdryer and dental floss, but I might be missing something and I don't want to damage the paint.

I've just had my car worked on (service + rear brakes + handbrake), and one of the reasons I had the rear brakes and handbrake cables changed was because the discs and pads were shot, the cables were stretched, and the handbrake wouldn't hold the car completely on a hill. When it wouldn't hold...

I'm off to Birchdown tomorrow for the 72K work and some other bits and bobs on my 172, so me and the missus are staying at her sister's tonigh nearby since the car needs to be there by 9am. Anyway, we've stopped at Cheshire Oaks so she can get her bargainous shop on, and I've sat in the car...

I'm thinking about replacing the exhaust on my 172 and I'm wondering what the average hit is for most people on here, if any. I'd ring the insurer up but they're a bit clueless about mods, so I'd rather put that off until the last minute :dead: Thinking about a Yozzasport 2.5" if that helps :cool:

I a programmer for BT, working at Plusnet, with one of the perks of the job being friends and family discounts. Current deal there is 3 months free, which if you can get the £5.99 deal (depends on where you live), that makes the first year's outlay just £45. The only downside is 18 month for...

A black 182 outside Pizza Hut in Berkeley Precint, just off Ecclesall Road, and a blue 197 with F1 stickers in the same carpark, just outside Tesco. Then a blue 182 FF parked on Ecclesall Road itself (looked v.clean!) not far up the road, and then another blue 197 passed me as I nipped up to...

My ph2 172 bullets are marked and I was thinking about refurbing or replacing them. How easy is it to get them off? I searched the forums and the guides but came up empty. Any clues?

YN02 PLO, end of my road :cool: Thought the guys that live in the house I usually see it outside had sold it because I've not seen it for a while, but there it is again this week! It had a hand in me buying a Clio because I always liked the look of it. Don't think it's anyone on here so I...

That's the vent I need to replace. I've got a new one, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to get the existing one out. Looking at the new one, there's no obvious clips that I can get to easily. Any tips on getting it out?

W46 Axx was the plate, saw it creeping past in traffic while I drove to work, lady at the helm. Looked a bit tatty and unloved :nono: Couldn't see a CS sticker, anyone off here?

Plate starts YM04, looked pretty standard. Didn't see any CS stickers though, anyone off here?

I've just thrown my Thinkpad up on eBay to help pay for some potential bits and pieces on my 172, so I thought I'd link to the auction here too. I'll give a bit of a discount if anyone off CS buys it. It's a pretty epic laptop and I've loved it ever since I got it. I've got a new Macbook now...

About 7.30pm, think it was a 182 but I'm not sure. I was just getting into the car with my missus when it sped up the hill past me. Didn't have standard wheels, looked lowered a bit, but I didn't catch the plate. Looked and sounded v.nice :cool:

Hi all, I'm new to CS, having been turned on to it while looking around for info about 172s while I set about buying one (my first Clio, and edde's guides are just incredible). I'm in Sheffield and the forums seem brilliant so I'll definitely be hanging around. :hail:
