Spotted you last night fella on the bypass, I reckon you were on your way to the runway! Car still looks clean, didnt think it was you at first ;)

Nothing listed for this when I searched on it so here goes. If I bought a 182 new would I be able to get the servicing done from a local independant Renault specialist without invalidating the warranty? They use genuine Renault parts not after market jobbies. Ta, Pk.

Hi, can anyone give me the ACTUAL performance stats for the 182 Cup compared to the standard 182 pls? In EVO mag they quote the Cup as 0-60 6.9 but in Autocar they quote the std 182 as 6.3 secs?? Both articles say how impressed they were with both cars which is good news, the Cup even...

Did a comparison on the motorway against my mates valver, std apart from de-cat, against mine which has a Magnex cat back and panel filter. Started from 3rd and both cars seemed to neck and neck, when I changed into 4th my car seemed to pull away instantly and didnt stop going until it reached...

Is it just me or does there seem to be alot of 182s for sale in the for sale section? The 182 was on my short list of next cars but it is off putting seeing so many up for grabs...

After much deliberation Ive finally decided to trade up to a Willy. Im going to get Xmas out of the way then start looking for a sexy Willy III (creature comforts). Ill expect some help of the N/W Willy owners when Im scouting the ads looking for my perfect ride.... Ill be sick to see the 16v...

Just read an article in EVO mag and they reckon the new Cup soon to be released will do 0-60 in 7.1 seconds, doesnt seem that quick does it.. Maybe theyre not as stripped out as the old ones?

Thought Id post this in the here aswell as meets so that nobody misses out. Ive organised a rolling day at RE Performance in Bury on 23/10, for £25 you get a power run complete with a print out of your BHP and torque curve plus advice from RE on mods or how to improve the overall performance...

This will stir it up a bit.... Ive just been flicking through the Autocar Sept 28th and inside they have an article on the top 100 used cars from £2000 to £25000. Cars included are the Clio 16v and the Williams, the 0-60s quoted are 7.4 for the 16v and 7.7 for the Willy.....Normally its 7.7...

Good news for us Peaks people in the N/W......The Cat & Fiddle is closed at the moment for 4 weeks for resurfacing, the new surface is ultra smooth so it should be a great road once theyve finished! Will have to sort a mini spin out in 5/6 weeks for a test run. It may even improve traction...

This will get your blood boiling first thing on a Monday morning! On Friday night I drove into unny Stockport to pick my wife up from a works do, it was about midnight when I arrived outside the pub. Just as I pulled up about 10 people came piling out, most of them I knew so I just parked up...

Can you fit phase II bump strips straight onto a phase I valver? If so where is the best place to get them from and approx how much incl fitting kit (clips etc) ? If not, how much are Phase I bump strips and can you buy the clips seperately? Thanks Paul

I posted this thread back in Feb but I didnt get all the info I needed so here goes. I still have the original alarm fitted on my 16v and need to know if both keys (the one in the glove box and the one in the flip compartment under the bonnet) need to be turned in a clockwise direction in order...

Ive recently picked up my valver from the bodyshop after it being away for a week having the rear arches done. Whilst I was looking at the car last night I noticed something didnt quite look right but I need your advice before I go back to the bodyshop. If you stand for example on the drivers...

Ive been trying get the alarm to work on my valver but seem to struggling. Neither the Haynes manual or the handbook go into the alarm details very deeply.....when I arm the car with the key fob and then force the alarm to go off the indicators will flash but there is no sound. I have found...

Ive decided to have my valver de-locked after it was broken into over the weekend. My first quote for the removal of the barrel and mechanism, filling and spraying is £220 in total for both locks. How does this sound price wise?

Met up with 8 mates to do a bit of mountain biking around the peaks today. We all parked up at the Norfolk Arms pub just off the A57 (Snake Pass) at about 10am, when I got back at 2-30pm some b****** had broken into my precious valver!!!!! They managed to seperate the barrel from the bodywork...

Over the past few weeks Ive noticed, above approx 3500 revs, that my car makes a weird whining noise. It sounds like a chronic ashmatic breathing out!! The noise seems to stop when the car warms up...... Ive checked for OAPs under the bonnet and tried an inhaler in the air intake but that...

Calling all DIY car fans....... My alternator has packed up on my valver and my local garage has quoted me £97 for the part (genuine Renault) and £120 labour, apparently its a pig of job! Ive looked in my Haynes manual and the job has been given just two spanners meaning its relatively easy...

Ive just had my phase II alloys refurbished at Proclean and they look amazing! The finish is like glass. Transformed the car in my opinion, if you want your wheels doing then its worth the drive to Prescot........If anyone wants their details PM me. Ta Paul

I been thinking of buying a Pipercross cold air feed pipe and somehow feeding it into the standard airbox of the valver direct from the front of the car. It could either feed into the existing inlet underneath or another opening could be made which would double the air intake..has anyone ever...

People, I have just called Renault asking for a price on a boot rubber seal and they have quoted me £30-52..seems alot that for a long piece of rubber. They told me they are the only place that sells them.....are they right does anyone know of any other places? Ta Paul

Hi, this has been bugging me for a bit now so I thought Id throw it open to the masses. I know that cold air flow is important for an engine but what happens on a RR?? Im about to take mine on a RR day and cant see how the car can reach its maximum BHP without any cold air flow into the engine...

How about this for having a senior moment! Quite a while back I got my car lowered 35mm, when I picked it up from the garage it looked great and drove even better....I cruised home and approached the driveway only to hear a load scraping sound from underneath the car as I mounted the...

Just been checking the plugs on my valver when I noticed one of them was heavily oiled up! Im talking oil dripping off it! All the rest were in great shape....the manual says this could be because of worn piston rings or valve guides which sounds expensive. Is it wise to get it into the garage...

I am replacing my K&N 57i with a standard airbox and replacement filter but seem to have lost the cold air pipe. Can anyone tell me what bore the inlet pipe (Pipe in the bottom right hand corner of the engine bay) is on the valver and if it is the same at the airbox end, its looks slightly...

The alloys of my Clio 16v phase II are starting to look grubby, a bit curbed and flakey and I wondered if it would be worth me getting them refurbished or just getting a new set? Has anyone had their alloys re done and how mint do they look afterwards? Can they get rid of curb damage? (I wasnt...

Just joined Cliosport and wondered if there are any rolling road days planned in the near future, around about Manchester or anywhere in the North of England really... Ta, Paul.

Anyone know where I can get hold of a nice set of mats for my Clio 16v? Do Renault do any with "Clio" decals on them? (Sad topic I know but I need a new set and am not sure where to look) :sleep:

Ive noticed since buying my 1993 Clio 16v that the oil pressure seems on the low side compared to my previous car, 205 gti. When cruising on the motorway at 80mph the oil pressure guage shows only 2 bars, is this normal? I use Halfords fully sythentic oil........ Also, the oil pressure guage...
