    Power Tool Perverts

    Oh I’ve only got one piece of Milwaukee kit(impact wrench), the rest is a mix of Ryobi, Sealey other budget stuff etc. Milwaukee is fantastic quality but a complete waste of money for weekend warriors unless your loaded in my opinion.

    Either of the big brands will be decent I’d go Milwaukee personally given the choice.

    Dci cutting out over bumps

    I’ve been trying to repair the daily derv while we are stuck in lockdown and it’s got the weirdest fault. It wouldn’t start initially so replaced the crankshaft sensor and now it will run. but if you drive it over a bump or even close the bonnet with it running it cuts out. I’ve wiggled every...

    Which car drier do you use?

    Do they need to blow hot air? Otherwise a decent air compressor would do the job and be useful for other things.

    OBD2 scanner reading n/a for misfire etc

    No the cheapo scanners don't work very well with Renaults you need something like icarsoft to get anything usefull.

    I don’t think the stuff goes off so should be fine. Hydro is still best I’ve tried however I’ve been using AF Aqua coat recently because you can get it in Halfords, smells nicer too.

    Monaco 172 (make it mint)

    Small bit of progress, stripped the subframe and rear beam down ready for blasting & powder coating once the restrictions are lifted. If anyones got tips on removing the abs sensors without wrecking them would be appreciated. :LOL:

    Unimpressed by 182, what do you love about it?

    Drove my sisters 1.2 turbo Clio the other day and I’ve gotta say it’s a hoot to drive picks up really well. Youngens have got it really good now, I have to rev the nuts off my first car and it still didn’t go anywhere. :ROFLMAO:

    197/200 Brembos on 182 with 280mm Discs

    Depends how you use the car I guess, they shine through on a hot trackday compared to standard. Also a 197 master cylinder gives you a much better feel over the standard 1*2 setup.

    Should I buy a Clio sport for a daily ?

    yeah 38 average in my 182 spirited driving.

    197/200 Brembos on 182 with 280mm Discs

    If you are going to do another batch I'll have a set mine are starting to look a little to crusty.

    Rear piston retraction

    Ah right yeah there more difficult without the tool. If you've got a angle grinder spanner give that a try.

    Rear piston retraction

    It winds in just find something to stick in the notches, easier with the tool like screwfix do one I think.

    RB 182 cup, a mere £7,995

    Engine bay doesn't exactly look like a car that "wants for nothing"... red coolant too.

    Rear bumper M10 bolts

    Typical French..wait until you see the clip design for the captive bolts on the subframe...:LOL:

    Low battery fault

    Sounds like a dodgy earth strap/wire to me, I'd check that first before you swap the alternator.

    Rear bumper M10 bolts

    Small pair of molegrips usually works. Yeah bolt will be fine but with a couple of washers to spread the load.

    timing

    Stick a feeler gauge in with the horse shoe on the inlet to take the pressure off. once it’s tightened up your tool should slide side to side.(y)

    Exhaust diagram 182

    No 172 but I guess those parts are similar.

    Exhaust diagram 182

    My plan is to remove the old stuff and use as a template to fabricate a new set but if they still sell it I'd buy new.
