I've just replaced the cambelt on my 182 and noticed the crank pulley has a wobble! It could have been like this for years, but something may have happened during the cambelt swap. Anybody else had this? Or can anyone have a look a theirs to see if it wobbles! Thanks

Right, my 140K 182 isn't running correctly. Story so far, It ran fine, did 40mpg on the run to work every day, but has had a misfire for the last 6 months, under load between 1250 and 2000rpm that was intermittent but was getting worse. It was overdue a cambelt so I thought I'd have a go...

I've inherited the wife's 182 (she now has a 200). It has 134k on the clock and is a month overdue a cam belt. Car is worth £1k. If the belt snapped it would be worth £500 tops in parts. New belt etc would be £600. How much would the car be worth if I sold it and is it worth the cost?

I've just bought the wife a 200. The cam belt was done by a 'back street' garage about 30 months ago, aux belt is already cracked?? I've booked the car in with Diamond motors for aux/cam belt, water pump etc, but is it worth getting the dephaser replaced? When I had my old 200 and 197 belts...

Well, back in 2010, we ordered an RS200 in white with a cup pack. Whilst we were there, we looked at another white cup pack RS with the reg CL10GAS. Roll on a few years and my mates dad bought it. Sadly, at the end of last year he died and I've just been offered the car. I apologise if this is...

I was away at the weekend and received a couple of texts from a neighbour saying the hazards were flashing on the wife's 182. I thought with the heat, perhaps the alarm had gone off. When I got home, the battery was flat, so I jump started the car to charge it up and noticed the hazards were...

I replaced the clutch on my wife's 182 December last year and ever since it has slight clutch judder in first gear when pulling away. I fitted a new friction plate, pressure plate and thrust bearing (Valeo). Last month I replaced the clutch cable with a genuine part and cleaned up and greased...

What going on with car Insurance? My wife and I are both 49, driving for over 30 years, full NCB, clean licence etc. Wife has gone form a new Fiesta ST2 to a Clio 182, £208 per annum (Fiesta was about £240) I have a new Fiesta ST2 and pay about £262 (Insured for 12000 miles per annum). I'm...

Hi I'm down to a dribble of preptone, 1 litre has lasted me 7 years! Wondered if anybody here used it and I could buy a litre. I can can get 5 litres off ebay for £37, that's 35 years worth, I'd be 81 by the time I used it all! Cheers!

Hi After a replacement injector, googled it and Laguna 2 1.8, scenic 2.0 16v are showing as the same part number. Looked on eBay and the Laguna part has a green band on it. Anybody know why, or what else uses the same injector? Ta!

Hi The heater on my car seems a bit colder than what I remember last year. I have a 172 with climate. When it's on auto, it always seems on half fan speed. If I set it to max or min I get full blower speed and full hot or cold air out of the heater, so think the roof mounted sensor may be...

Been to Tunisia and these were everywhere! Never saw a sport version though!

I've been playing with my 172 today and decided to look at an oil leak from the front of the engine. Turns out its from the pas switch which seems to be common, but it looks like mine is leaking from the switch itself, not the joint, is this common? Cheers, Ian.

As ive read somewhere on here, the tyre poll is out of date and there are a lot of threads about tyres on here! I've bought a 172 to play with and it needs 2 tyres at least, but as I'm going to get the wheels powder coated, I've decided to buy a complete set. Anyway, my old 182 had P zero's...

I have a tiny weep that I've at last found! Its on the back of the ally PAS pipe behind the gearbox. It seems to be a common problem with a leak, but not sure where other people have had leaks from! Replacing the pipe looks a sod, anybody any advice? Leak is reflected in my dentists mirror...

It goes new RS200, 182, 197 (wife's current car), RS200 cup (sold to my 20 year old a few months ago) and now a 172! Picked it up for £900, 66000 miles and a recent clutch. Came with an airbag fault, plugged my diag unit and cured the fault within 45 minutes! Clayed and polished it, sanded and...

Bought a 172 for £900 that I'll probably spent £300-£500 getting it how I want it, but it would still probably be worth no more than £1200. Anyway, if I wrote it off I probably wouldn't claim as after paying my excess, i'd only be a few hundred quid in pocket Max. So, I can insure with...

I'm looking at a 172, the only issue I can find is where the rear quarter panel has been sprayed at some point. The colour match is bang on, but the lacquer has some small craters in it about 3mm in diameter where it looks like it has reacted with something. could these be filled by a bit of...

Don't see many around Shirley but saw a silver 182 Tuesday and a black 172 Wednesday (today) about 5:50 am!

On tonight's show, a RB 182 and a 197 tea mug!

I pass an '04 182 nearly every day and in 2 years I've only seen it move twice. Sooo, as i 'm looking for a bit of a project, I decided to knock the door. Turns out it's a guy who must be in his seventies, has owned it for 7 years and it has only done 19k miles! The seatbelts were still clicked...

Looked at some insurance quotes and thought I'd put the reg of my old 182 in that I sold 12 months ago. Insurance company didn't recognise the reg so tried to see if it was taxed and got the same result. Anywhere else I can check? :(

The wife opened her car door yesterday and the wind ripped it out of her hand. I heard a crunch noise, then went to shut the door and it appears to be about 3mm lower now and drags on the door catch. Any idea if the hinges are adjustable?

I work as a maintenance engineer for a large supermarket. As it's our busiest time of the year, I've had one day off in 2 weeks as well as a couple of call outs, so I was looking forward to a few days off! I walked out of the door only to be called back as there was a big problem with the cash...

Hi, I have a clio 200 cup with a steering wheel that the 'leather' is peeling off. On ebay, somebody is selling a gordini wheel new for £120 but it has cruise switches. Anybody know if they can be removed and the cup air bag fitted the same as you can with the 182 Clio? Cheers, Ian.

My RS200 had a new gearbox approx 9 months ago under warranty from Renault. Reverse and 1st and difficult to engage when cold, but loads better when warm.So, after searching some threads and getting several different answers, what's the best replacement oil to use?

First of all, apologies for not searching threads, but i'm up at 5am and need an answer! Guy at work has a Clio Trophy and has come to me with an odd noise. There is a rubber type squeak from the front right of the car that occurs over bumps, pulled the top mount top rubber off and jacked the...

Hi, can anyone recommend a PDR company near me in Solihull? The guys at the Cliosport day did a good job last year, not sure if they're there this yeat, butwe're gloing in my wife's 197! Cheers, Ian.

As per the title will it fit? Have a 182 wheel for sale with an airbag and a potential buyer has asked the question! Cheers, Ian.
