Hi guys Looking to buy a 182 again as a weekend toy. Figured I'd see if my old car is still around and according to the mot history it is! Anyone know of this car? It's was an arctic blue ff with a scorpion exhaust. I swapped in about 6 years ago for a Ibiza Gupta Turbo

Hi Since fitting my sub whenever I drive the car and then turn it off for a few minutes the radio comes on but no sound comes out. I have to pull over and restart the car to get any sound what so ever Any ideas?

Hi, I have a 1.2 16v Clio Extreme 4 to sell. Just wandering what you guys think would increase value on this car? It has 80k miles, 12months MOT, 6 months tax.. standard apart from not having alloy wheels. I am going to touch up blemishes and stick some new renault wheel trims on.. apart...

Hi Thanks for the responses. I bought the driveshaft new from jr as here http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130613528995&ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:GB:1123 and had a mechanic friend fit it. Also after further testing I turned the abs off and still get the same issue.. if it there...

Nope new but.not genuine. Need to replace?

When coming to a stand still ( below 5mpg) the brake pedal will kick back at me no matter what the road condition is like. The brake fluid was changed yesterday, and the drivers side drive shaft was also changed, so I'm guessing it is to do with this? Any help would be appreciated! Cheers

Hi, I need to know where is the best place to hook up my remote wire... I have the stock head unit.. I know its a blue/white wire on the back of the HU on an aftermarket model, but I have no idea about the stock head unit? I have also removed both rear speakers, as I plan to extended the...

Anyone? :)

Hi, I have purchased a second hand 8" active sub woofer to increase the sound quality of my Clio. This sub can accept high level inputs and this is what I intend to use. I do not want to replace the head unit as I like the steering wheel controls and I have my Spotify plugged in using the 6 CD...

Well didn't get to go against a lot of them but managed to keep on the back of my mates, his is running 150ish bhp. Although it's always easier to follow than lead around the Triangle. There were some supercharged elises, the Europa pushing out 300+ bhp.. same with the new Exige S.... that was...

Yep one of them is a Clio! My Clio :) Bumped into these guys at Evo Triangle today whilst going for a blast with my mate in his Elise. Interestingly a lot of them gathered around my car and were full of praise. Just thought I'd share! more pics: @ the Cafe

Hi, My Clio's body work is mint apart from a few chips on the bonnet due to motorway driving and chips in edges of both doors, not sure why that is? All chips are only down to the primer.. wondering what the best method would be to get them repaired?, and if I got them repaired professionally...

Sorry to be picky but you have some of the stats wrong, here are the correct stats: Clio 182: 1090KG Clio 182 Cup: 1070KG Clio 172: 1100KG The standard Clio 172 weighs more because of the spare wheel and it's compartment. :)

Hi mate, I have a full SS system with ITG panel filter and some sort of remap. My car revs to 7500 which I believe is a RSTuner std map. It's only 250RPM more but it gives you an extra second of poweR! I believe the gains in power are minimal it's more how the car drives low down. I came from...

Thanks for the responses.. Riverside... yep I've seen quite a few Clio Sports, caught up with a black one today, looked lowered, black wheels, custom badge looked great!

Arctic blue cup by any chance?

Yeah the springs have red/white blobs I believe if they are cup springs.. What about shock absorbers?

Hi, This query as per the title has always bothered me.. For instance, my offside front spring has snapped.. I know there is a difference between cup and std springs so did not let the garage order these parts due to them not being specialists. I've managed to source second hand springs for...

As per title Here is the split, appears to have fractured under weight.. doesn't actually make a sound accept from 70-82ish mph. Any idea where I can get a straight through pipe? I don't want the silencer on there I want a bit more sound! Also do I stand anywhere with a warranty? I have...

Hi, I have an engine warranty on my car for a few more weeks, I can definetly hear my dephaser and have all the associated symptons. I have done some research on this forum and am struggling to find a thread where the dephaser has failed, if I can find some ground I should be able to claim...

I just picked up a 182 with both cup packs for 3.4k from a dealer. Only got a one month warranty with it but it came with 12 months mot, 6 months tax, FSH and belts were done, all be it 20k miles ago. Has 71K on it, but from previously owning the F7R engine I know it doesn't really matter. Body...

I've managed 42.5MPG taking it steady 60-70, has anyone managed to get to the golden 45mpg? Really loving this car, haven't had it below 32mpg even when it's being thrashed!

Hi, I have a groaning sound, not sure exactly where it's coming from and it only happens at 70-80mph. I have a Scorpion exhaust on my car and it's a similar noise but different tone. The best way to put it is imagine having a tuned exhaust system and keeping the revs at 6k, that's pretty much...

Thanks for the responses. Managed to get it open by getting someone else to push down on it as advised, after a fiddle it appears to work!

Hi. My bonnet release has totally lost tention thus not popping the bonnet. I have searched around but not found anything conclusive. Any ideas?
