Yeah. That's what caught my eye. May the best man win!! Haha :)
Just started searching. Had a couple of RS Clios in the past. I shouldn't really buy another but I can't help myself.

Spent ages yesterday changing the gasket, coolant, and expansion bottle. Everything was all nice and clean. I used some gasket sealant alongside the new gasket and drained and flushed the system the best I could.
The coolant that came out of the bleed valve and wherever else I...
No idea... It's an average readout and its not hugely accurate anyway. The only other variable would be your acceleration before activating cruise control.
Obviously you're just in more of a rush to get home! Lol
FF 182 with almost 120k on the clock. On a tank where I'm taking it slow I easily get 35mpg. If I'm having a bad week and my right foots a little heavier than normal then I struggle to get below 30mpg.
Ok so the parts should be here todAy. I'm a planning on doing everything tomorrow. Is it worth applying something like this too: http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductMobileDisplay?catalogId=10151&storeId=10001&productId=173059&categoryId=255217&langId=-1
Also, after removing...
Thanks Dan. Spoke to the previous owner and he's saying the same. Guess I just panicked a little seeing as she's a high miler!
I was down in Somerset last week, could've popped it in if I'd of known then! lol
Is this what I need...
Yeah I have read that they rarely go.... Apparently the thermostat gasket can allow oil/coolant to mix without any visible leaks?
It's one of those jobs that I've been putting off.... I've seen some thermostats that come with the gasket included for around £15. Is it easy to replace? If so, I...
Hey guys,
So on the M69 yesterday at 'motorway speeds' I glance down at the fuel gauge and notice the temperature gauge is over 3/4. I immediately jumped in to the slow lane doing about 55/60 mph and the temp gauge dropped back quickly to 1/2 way mark.
I decided to take my time and stuck...
Hi guys,
FF Clio 182 with cup packs, 04 plate.
I've noticed that on about 90% of roads it pulls to the left, it seems worse the closer to the curb I am. There are a few roads where the steering wheel is straight and the car doesn't seem to pull at all.
The tracking had been checked just...
Ok, so all of a sudden on the way to a meeting this afternoon there's a MASSIVE smell of fuel in the cockpit. I'm driving behold some battered old Fiat so I figure that it's them... it gets so bad that I nearly tried to get them to pull over because there was clearly a fuel leak.
It was pretty...
Don't make me nervous....
Hit 113k today...
Wasn't there a Trophy going around on like 175k? I saw a thread a few weeks ago saying the engine had finally given up?
I'd go blue mate... I've got an RB 182 and I'm looking at doing this in the future. Blue hoses in mine would probably look a bit crap though, as the shade of blue would be way off.
Never had a shiny engine bay so I think it's something I'll definitely do in the future.
Looks epic mate. Really tidy! Someone sprayed my inlets with black heat resistant paint. So looks better than standard metal...
When I get a bit of spare time I'll probably give this a go!
First week of owning my RB FF 182, I've averaged approx 34mpg. I drive it fairly steady with the odd burst... This week has been about 75% town driving, 10% A-Roads and 15% motorway.
Last tank (from previous owner) averaged at 36.6mpg, he did about 80% motorway, 15% A-Roads and 5% town driving.
