Hi guys, My Mrs Clio anchored itself to the driveway over the weekend. The handbrake appeared to be stuck on the rear right wheel. I removed the front of the drum to find one of the linings had parted from the brake shoe and wedged itself to stop the wheel turning! So I'm trying to order the...

After admitting defeat and deciding it needed specialist diagnostics, I embarked on a two hour trip to Nottingham to take the car to Mick @ Diamond Motors. After speaking to him at length over the phone he assured me he'd find the problem and have it running again. He also came highly...

I need to change the ECU on my 182 as it appears to have died... Can I buy a 172 one if its available or will it not run? Does it have to be a specific 182 ECU? Thanks

May sound a stupid question it where is the 182 situated in the car? What panel is it behind? Thanks

Trying to find out what make the Clio 182 ECU is. Is it made by Bosch or Siemens or someone?

Hi, I'm looking to purchase a CLIP machine to find out why my Clio has shut down and won't run. It may need reprogramming if the immobilser has shut it down. Can anyone tell me if this would do the job...

I'm in need of a diagnostic scan on my 182. The car won't start and is getting no power to the relay that powers the fuel pump and coil pack. Does anyone have a CLIP machine or know of anyone in the North West that might?

I'm getting desperate now :( My car wouldn't start after being stood for 6 weeks and the battery going completely flat. I then disconnected the battery for a few days until I got a new one. Now this is fitted the car still won't start. It cranks for a few turns then cuts. I thought it was...

I need a wiring diagram. Can anyone send me one or link me to one? I've got a feeling the crank position sensor is stopping the car starting but I need a wiring diagram to do some checks! Can anyone help?

I have started to remove the track rod end from my Mrs 1.2 Clio as I'm changing the driveshaft on it - CV has run dry. I've started it off but now the ball joint is spinning with the nut... I now realise I can probably remove the shaft without removing the track rod end from the hub, I just...

My car has been through a variety of checks on this. I thought it was an immobiliser issue on the Sigma alarm for a while but as it turns out, I don’t think the Sigma S32 immobiliser is connected! I now think it maybe that the key is no longer coded to the car after the car was left stood...

Is there a How To Guide for changinf front wheel bearings on the clio on here anywhere? Can someone link me please? Couldn't find it with a search :(

Hi, My 04 182 is refusing to start. It has been stood for about 6 weeks as I got a new car. The last time I used it, it had just had an injector replaced as one had failed and it was missing, but after it was replaced the car ran fine for several trips out. Now 6 weeks later, I came to...

Car has been stood for a month. Battery was completely flat. Charged it an tried to start it but I get about three cranks and then it cuts out. I'm sure it must be immobiliser related. Does the sigma immobiliser work on the ignition or the fuel pump? It seems to cut ignition. The light...

Hi, I had a missfire on cylinder 3 which brought the Engine Managament light on the dash. When plugged it in, it read two codes, Missfire on Cylinder 3 and Injector fault on Cylinder 3. I have now changed the injector and the problem is resolved and the car is running well again. However...

Hi, My 182 has developed a missfire. It started off one morning after leaving it stood for a few days. It was quite obviously only running on 3 cylinders and the Engine Management light was flashing for a while before going solid. Later that day I drove it home from work and gave it some...

My 182 has developed a missfire/running on 3 cylinders. I don't know the last time it has a plug change so I'm going to ordr a new set of plugs and coilpack. My question: Do the 2.0 litres have 1 coilpack, 2 or 4 indivdual ones? Also, where is the cheapest place to get these items from...

Hi, I'm having no end to the problems on my 182 at the moment! This morning I got to work fine, no problems, after a half hour run. Went to move it at lunch and the STOP light and the battery light illuminated. Turned it off and on again and it was still there. Did some reading at lunch...

Hi, I keep getting my oil pressure warning light flicking on and off when driving normally. I thought it was pressure switch failure as I have plenty of oil in there and it's the right viscosity. However, I have read on one other thread that it could linked to low brake fluid/pads worn out...

My 182 has developed a knock (now more of a bang) under braking. It's gotten louder over the last week and now does it sometimes on acceleration too. It started with only doing it when I was braking whilst turning to the left, as I would when turning onto my drive, so when the front right of...

On my 182, I can hear a knocking/clunking as I go from lock to lock. I'm pretty sure it's coming from the rack. When I am manouvering into a parking space it becomes most noticable. I got someone to sit in an turn from lock to lock while I watched the rack and I could see that as I heard the...

I have a decat for my 182. When I fit it, will it bring an engine management light on due to lambda readings? Also, there is a hole in the decat for a Lambda, should there be one or two for a 54 plate 182? Thanks

Hi, Very quickly, can anyone tell me if just a decat on an otherwise standard 182 exhaust would cause it to pop and bang at all? Would it make much difference to the noise? Thanks!

Recently changed my gearbox.Now it's dropping oil at a rapid rate. Its spraying towards the bulkhead and onto the subframe when the car is in motion but not clear where it's coming from exactly. It's deffo coming from the nearside as the offside is completely dry. At a guess, I think the...

This is really weird. I was pulling away from a junction in 1st and there was a bang about 5k when it changed cam timing... Felt like it jumped out of gear. Went for 2nd. Revs rose up but no drive, just grinding! Same in all gears. Checked to see if a shaft had come out. No. The grinding...

Hi, I have a problem with my Mrs 1.2 16v. When it really chucks it down with rain, I starts to miss. Sat in traffic, the idle falls to almost stalling point. The whole car shakes and sometimes cuts out. Under acceleration, it will jump and lurch like it's cutting in and out. When you put...

Just thought I better say hi before I start asking questions on here! I'm Jay. I'm new to Clio ownership. Just got one for the 1st time, it's a tidy 182 in Black. Previously had Zetec S's, one with a Racing Puma lump in, and I also ride bikes. I have a Honda Hornet and a Honda CBR600 as a...
