Hi, After a couple of 300-500 mile journeys my oil lindicator said the oil was low. I checked it on the dipstick and it wasn't on the low marker but not too far off either so I gave it a top up of about 500ml to see how that went. The trip computer oil indicator now really varies it's reading...

Hi all, My cat to centre join is blowing again - I have had it resealed and refitted twice and have also replaced all the mounts as well as the mani-cat join so this is really irritating now since all I can hear is a hissing when I should hear the engine! Has anyone got any experience with an...

Hi, As some of you may remember I posted a thread on here about repairing my Mani-CAT join and CAT-Centre join to stop the exhaust blowing which was noticeable through a whistling past 3k rpm. Whilst doing this work we discovered a hairline crack in the cat/centre join which was welded up...

Hi Ive got a longish journey coming up but my rear whewl bearing is buzzing. I know iam better off replqcong discs but my mate isnt around to help me fit them which means an expensive trip to the garage. I havent got decent tools so that makes it hard to do it myself really. How much...

Hi, I've had my clio (182 FF) a while now, and since Ive had it people comment how I tend to drive in the middle of the road - ive noticed it too. At first I was convinced it was due to me being worried about damaging the alloys but now I seem to fight the car to keep it to the left especially...

Hi, As you may have seen I have repaired most of my standard exhaust system but found a hole in my silencer. I like the standard system sound and don;t want anything at all boy racer like (I get enough comments about that already!). Does anyone have a vid of the Janspeed Sports stainless...

Hi, My 182 has the whistling sound that I have read a lot about on this forum - I have confirmed that the exhaust is blowing from manifold-cat join which needs replacing and is getting worse. The parts are £25 on ebay - I don't want to get ripped off by my local Renault dealer so I wondered...

Hi, I parked my newly acquired 182 on the road outside my house - someone crept into the back of it causing light scratches. So I decide never to park it on the road again and stick it on the drive..... Came home last night to find my nextdoor neighbour's van scraping down the side of my...

Hi, I realise there is LOADS of info on here about timing belts and I have read up a lot about this piece of work - this forum has been really useful for buying a FF Clio 182. The result is I am now pretty worried about it not being done correctly, Renault have quoted me about £800 for the lot...

Hi, I recently purchased a 2005 182 FF - with optional Recaros which I now see the benefit of! I really like the car so far, it seems useable but also a toy for the weekends! I was wondering if anyone knows any reasonable garages in the mid sussex area for getting a couple of jobs done on this...
