Hello, I'm currently needing to purchase 2 front (and soon to be 2 rear) tyres, I know that most people think that pilot sports are the best and currently having 4 of them on the car (the front 2 of which are nearly bald and still perform well) I wouldn't disagree. However, my budget at the...

My car's engine emissions light has been flashing for the last couple of days now and as a result the car is rather undriveable, it misfires causing sluggish response and overfuels causing the exhaust to pop and bang unexpectedly. So today i bought a new coil pack and fitted it as people had...

Following up to a post made earlier in the fault section, just took the car round the block slowly and it pops/bangs at different times for no apparent reason (even though the reason is clearly overfueling) and it feels very down on power (due to the misfire). I really want to get this sorted...

Hello all, Got my car back from the bodyshop today, did approx 30 miles in it before going home, all fine. Just went to go out now and the engine management light starts flashing and the car sounds totally different (almost subaru like, which i know is ridiculous). The car also pops...

Stumbled upon this today, so apologies if it's already been covered but for those that haven't seen it still worth a look... http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1357535/This-isnt-trunk-road-Miracle-escape-driver-car-flipped-high-road-ended-hanging-tree.html Pretty funny imo, and best bit...

As above really, haven't been to any meets yet and was just seeing if anyone wanted to do one this weekend.

Hello all, Fitted some aero wipers to my 182 at the weekend coz they look better and actually go across the screen a lot smoother than the standard wipers I had. The only thing is, when I get up to about 95mph they start to lift of the screen and anything above that it feels like if I...

While changing a sidelight today, I noticed this wire dangling around near the headlight area (on the side that a headlight went out on today) and just wondered firstly what it is, as I couldn't find any terminals that were missing a wire going to them or anything and secondly if it could be the...

Hello all, now before I start, I am not a scammer or a b**ch but I just want some people's opinions on this before I do anything. I was driving earlier on today on an A-road at 70mph when I noticed the car infront of me had it's hubcab wobbling quite severely. Having been in an accident...

Had a headlight go out this morning and when I was in a parts shop earlier thought i'd get some new sidelights while i'm at it seeing as they are really cheap, wanted some ones that have a blue look to them (i'm sure you know what i mean) so bought the ones listed above thinking that they would...

Hello all, Driving the car this morning and noticed i had a head light out. Just wondering if anyone can recommend a supplier/type of bulb to replace it with? I found a renault D2S type bulb on euro car parts for the HID xenons I have, but its £82.99! Does anyone know of any places that do good...

Saw you up near the goffs oak pub, looked pretty clean. Anyone on here?

Was in my arcitc 182 coming off the a414 into harlow and would of been right behind you if i wasn't cut up by a shitty dahaitsu charade! Noticed that your brake lights were constantly on so you were either riding the brake or maybe there's something wrong with your sensor!

:mad: This is really pissing me off. I had the exhaust blanked/bunged today with the correct size bolt and had the lambda sensor secured above the heatshield and the light went off...Happy days! However when driving about an hour after doing this, it came back on! I really want to get it to stay...

Saw you this morning going straight over the roundabout towards theobalds and then this evening going up towards goffs oak. Looked nice :) I was in my arctic, duno if u saw me....no one ever seems to spot me even though i do about 50 miles a day lol

Hello all, if anyone on here is or considers themselves to be a computer expert then i could really do with some help. I've got a Sony Vaio VGN-CR42Z/R laptop and recently after partitioning my hard drive and installing windows 7 on the new partition, suddenly my DVD drive is really playing up...

Hello all, i've had my clio 182 sport (non cup) for just over a month now and so far it's been pretty good. The other day when i picked up some dry cleaning for the Mrs. i noticed that the clio doesnt have any of those hangers on the grab handles for hanging clothes up! I know it's a performance...

Hello all, started a thread earlier about some knocking that was still apparent after having my dog bone mount done. Established that it's likely the upper gear box mount needs doing, however what i'm wondering is that because the knocking noise is considerably louder and more frequent this time...

Hello all, I recently had the powerflex dog bone mount fitted to my car when a knocking sound was coming from the gearbox area. For a little while all was well, until recently the exact same noise has come back again. Fred@btm suggested a new upper gearbox mount which makes sense but upon...

Hello all. I've recently fitted an rs192 decat stainless system to my 182. It's a good exhaust in terms of not being too noisy at low revs and you can make the car very quiet by being light on the throttle. HOWEVER i like my exhaust to pop/bang yet I can only get it to do it when i've literally...

Hi there. I've got a 182 and had the tracking done TODAY and when I left the garage it was fine, steering wheel straight and car going straight. However after driving the car for about an hour by the time I was coming down my road to go home, I noticed that when the steering wheel was straight...

Hello all, I had some quite severe engine knocking recently and got my dog bone mount done which sorted it at pretty much all speeds however today I noticed when coming off the throttle at high speed (70+) in 5th gear that as the car slows down the same knocking noise has come back. It's only...

Saw your car, made me look twice coz I think it had a standard clio front bumper? You had 182 wheels though so possibly a replica? Female driver.

Same colour as me, saw you going the other way and pretty sure you saw me too. I was on the way to get mine washed otherwise it would of looked sparkling like yours :)

I was parked up on the side of the road in my 54 arctic 182 and you were moving slowly through traffic on crossbrook street, don't think you saw me but yours was rather clean! Mine needs a wash :(

Hello All, Had an RS192 on my car for approximately 3 weeks now, has been ok so far however today when driving the car (a mixture of fast and eco driving) when doing some eco driving suddenly the emissions warning light came on. When it did I wasn't surprised considering the car has...

Hi all, saw a silver 182 with a private plate that started with the letter N and the plate had an england flag on it. We were both going from the A10 to harlow and as we came off the roundabout had a little play, just wondering if you were flat out? Anyone on here? Think the bloke looked...

PLEASE DO NOT COMMENT UNLESS YOU HAVE ONE OF THESE FITTED - Hello everyone, The exhaust on my car needs doing and im going for a stainless with a decat. Contrary to previous car's ive owned, there are alot of systems available for the clio, so below i've made a list with prices of the ones i'm...

Hello everyone, i'm quite a new member as you can see as i've only had my clio 182 for just under a month. Since driving the car (have done 1000miles in it already) everything seemed ok and had some mods planned. HOWEVER now a strange whine has developed with only happens when accelerating hard...

Hi there, Was mooching along the average speed check on the way home from lakeside (in my arctic standard 182 that i've had for nearly a week now) when another arctic 182 joined the m25 and we had a lil play dropping down from 5th to 4th now and then. As we carried on and got into the...
