Quick question folks, Is the 197 manifold the same as the 200? I have a 200 and the flexis are blowing. I've seen a 197 one at a keen price and wondered if its a straight swap. Many thanks

They will all pull a bit in my experience. Mine had a mix of budget tyres on when I bought it which I got rid of straight away for a full set of Exalto's. It still pulls a bit when on certain roads, and like your car, mine is mechanically sound. I put it down as a trait of the car.

Around £70 a month for me. That includes the (short) trip to work and the obligatory Sunday morning hoon.

Yes, standard wheels painted white.

As above, an RB 182 with white wheels spotted in Asda car park around 7.30pm. Looked very tidy....anyone on here?

Reverse light switch?

It's just tyre noise, every one I've been in does it. Save yourself some money and don't worry about it!

Could be the coil pack on its way out. They tend to fail under load although I'm not sure why it wouldn't happen in 5th gear. Your best bet is to get it diagnosed and see if it throws up any error codes, as it could be a multitude of things to be honest. Good luck with it.

Nope, just a stubby ratchet.....simples ;)

You don't need to remove the airbox, there's enough room to change it as it is. Took me 10 mins tops to remove and fit a new one.

Metric

Good stuff :).....just call it a pint then :rasp:

That post would give me peace of mind if I was in the market for a 182. To the OP, snap it up, it sounds like a great car.

I paid around £20 quid each for mine, can't remember exactly. If you do replace them have your tracking checked afterwards :)

Could even be worn track rod ends. Knackered ones totally ruin the feel of a clio and can cause wandering and pulling under hard acceleration.

It's normal. Nothing to worry about!

Check your wheel balance as well, I had this problem on a Ford Escort years ago.

Well, that was a very informative thread starter - do tell us more.

I'm in the Nottingham area and will also keep my eyes peeled for you. Sorry to hear about this, hope they catch the b@st@rds and get their come-uppance.

Don't bother putting a bag over the sensor, it's not needed. I run a decat pipe and just plugged the sensor back in. 4 months later, still no light on.

It could well be the tappets making the noise, but if you're near a specialist on here or a competent garage I would advise taking it to them for a second opinion. Obviously, without hearing the noise it could be numerous things causing it. As for burning oil, something's not quite right...

Fit a new set of spark plugs. If this doesn't cure it then it's likely to be one or more injectors playing up.

I have to agree with that as well. I have a non cup packed 182 and a mate of mine has a both cup packed 182. After driving both on numerous occasions I can honestly say my mates car feels no better than mine through the twisties - both cars having a recent standard suspension refresh.

Yep, it's worth checking (and searching) the buyers guide out. All the info you'll ever need is on there.

I thought as much - time to dust the mountain bike then. Thanks for the link :)

Hi all, Driving along fields farm road the other night I happened to run over a blunt metal object (or so I thought) which jolted the car quite severely. Thinking nothing more of it I arrived home and parked the car up for the night. The next morning before setting off for work I thought I'd...

It's an 'act of god' so no chance of suing the Council.

Have you tried Wd40?, no good assuming it won't work unless you give it a go. A little squirt every 6 months or so goes a long way.

Re: Interior light rattle, somebody please f*cking help... Wires won't cause rattling, It'll be the unit itself. Try a smidge of silicone ;)

They're all the same, nip to your local breakers and get one from there. Failing that it'll be Renault, although got no idea what they'll charge.
