Think I'm going to get it down to a specialist first - your right, no point replacing something, only to find out it's something else!

Wouldn't putting a rag up one of the exhausts make the reading higher on the other one? Be great if it works! Exhaust is completely standard... You reckon change lambdas before cat then? Wondering if diagnostic would say what it is exactly? The emissions light is on (orange light, used to flash...

Wondering if getting the car red hot before re-testing would bring down the CO levels enough to get it through, or do you think because the readings are so high it wouldn't do it? ​Thanks

So took the 182 down for it's MOT today. It's failed on the emissions with the following results; Fast Idle test Engine speed 2450-2850rpm - 2574rpm Pass CO Max 0.20% - 2.65% Fail HC Max 200ppm - 819ppm Fail Lambda 0.97 - 1.03 - 0.91...

One thing I was wondering was, if they say my 'air con radiator' needs replacing, is this just the condensor that is alongside the radiator or the radiator itself? Reason I ask is because I thought the radiator purely was for engine cooling whereas the condensor is for the air con? If the...

Hi guys The car was originally in for a service with a well regarded specialist off here who confirmed the air con had no gas in it whatsoever... Took it for a re-gas hoping this might be enough to get it going, but they confirmed a leak as expected. They have narrowed it down to the air con...

​Hi All My air con used to blow ice cold – didn’t use for a little while and now in the heat when I need it most there’s nothing! Took it to a Kwik Fit type place who tested it and have said the air con radiator is leaking but have a couple of questions for what to do next. They’re quoting...

Re: Finding the RIGHT Clio Sport to buy.. Bargain and a half mate!! That was a real good deal!

Just spoke to them and they've informed me mines not on the recall list ('55 plate 182). He said they could be done in batches, but as he can see its not due anything...

Do we know which models it affects and the year range? Is it all 172/182's or only selected years affected?

Was Arctic blue for me - only colour I'd have... Bought... Arctic blue!

Thanks mate - So its probably better to go for a 2000, 3000, 4000, then polish? Just want to get the best results without any risk to the headlight? Seen some people have mentioned just trying metal polish first - does this actually get some of the hazing off?

Sorry if I'm asking the obvious but what are the reasons for not using this? Be keen to know as really want to get the hazing gone this weekend. Thanks JD

Quick question - It's only the top part of my headlights that are bad. Am I therefore best of only sanding/polishing the top half or still doing the whole light?

Cheers mate - thats my Saturday sorted!

Thanks mate - great spot!

I had the same dilemma mate - and went out to drive both... Wasn't a doubt in my mind afterwards. Had my 182 just under a month and loving it. However if I sold one of my other cars and had a little more £££ would have gone for a 200, but they're still in normal depreciating stage.

Ah was using the wrong search terms - thanks mate

Have had a look through the search but can't seem to find anyone with the same problem. One of my headlights on my 182 is 'clouding' at the top - its got like a film of clear dirt that seems adament too stay! Any ideas on what it is and how to get rid of it? Thanks

Having a problem doing what should be a very easy job... Trying to get my windscreen wipers off. I open the cap, undo the nut but its still stuck fast on the spline - are you just meant to keep on pulling at it / put something under to help pull it off or is there another method? Sorry if I'm...

Cheers for all your replies guys... Sounds like Aeros are definitely the way forward! Any of you have trouble with them not clearing the whole screen or are they fine? Presuming you've all got 21/21 size?

I'm in Tunbridge Wells as well but will be going to Rentech for my servicing needs - worth the drive IMO

As heartbreaking as it may be I'd sell it. When you want to drive you then don't have the worry of Tax, insurance, MOT, storage - can just hire a different car each time!

If money isn't an issue I'd keep it and fix it. If money is a issue, I'd sell it as is on Ebay... Similar predicament myself - between me and the missus we've currently got 4 cars - trying to work out which one to sell at the mo!

Oh that's true - are all the ebay ones set up to wipe the other way then? Or is it a case of some work, some don't?! If so which ones are fine straight out of the box...

87k and still going as strong as ever...

New to 182 ownership and the wipers definitely need replacing. The options I can see are; Ebay special aero wipers - £8ish Standard Bosch wipers - £15 Valeo Silencio - £15 Bosch Aero - £18 Which would be your recommendations out of these. Tempted by Aero's but read a few reviews on here saying...

Cheers Nik Just got myself my Artic Blue, full history (folder full), 4 x new tyres, belts done 2.5 years ago but with a few more miles - 86k... But in mint condition! Loving it! Here's to happy motoring :)

Hi all! I'm on the look out for a 182 - have been for some time as am quite specific in what I want... 182 Full Fat Arctic Blue Full History Cambelt/Water Pump/Pulley done Ideally Miltek exhaust Under 70k miles (although can move on this) Proving harder than I thought to find the above...
