Hi all this weekend (wether permitting), I'm planning on changing the pump for my windscreen washer. Bought the pump and a wiper arm puller in readiness, and have already sprayed up the nut with WD40 to get some oil penetration in it to make it easier to pull. Got a couple of questions though...

Hi all, over the last few weeks my clutch has been making a bit of a noise. When I pressed or released the clutch pedal I would hear a scraping noise. Best way to describe it is that is sounded like a nail being lightly drawn across a spinning metal disc. Just the noise, no vibrations or...

Hi all, while sorting out the various rattles and squeaks in my 182 I came across an unconnected plug that I hope someone can identify for me. Its a purple plug with two wires (one green, one white) that was hanging down behind the aircon/heater control panel. Should it be connected in my 182FF? ta

Hi all, I need one poly bush for the rear exhaust hanger of my 182. Any recommendations of where to get one? (I stupidly forgot to secure one with cable ties last weekend when fitting new exhaust. It fell out at some point during the week) :( Ta Michael

Fitted a pair of AD08's on the front of my 182 on Saturday. Went for a razz around London super early Sunday morning to see what they were like. Dear Lord, they're grippy! Maybe not trying hard enough, but couldn't unstick them and wouldn't want to drive any more aggressivley on a public road...

Hi all, well it seems the group buy on the RS192 exhaust now has enough paid up for them to dispatch shortly. I've ordered a cat back system and wondered if anyone knows from experience of these exhausts if they need a gasket or if they come supplied with one? Pete, who organised the group buy...

Dear all just wanted to flag up that theres a group buy currently running for a Scorpion RS192 exhaust for the 182 in the 'parts for sale section' Link: http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?725130-Scorpion-RS192-Exhaust I'm only posting this here in case some people weren't aware of...

Guys, my 182 is knocking at the rear when I lift off the gas / engine braking. It sounds like the rear exhaust is knocking on the floor, but having poked around this morning I can't see anything loose. The dogbone and driver side engine mount were replaced this morning and no change (although...

So, over the weekend I tackled the condensation I was getting in my passenger headlight. I had thought the cause was the rubber caps not being fitted correctly at the back. After clearing the moisture using silica crystals for a day and a half, I spent ages (and skinned knuckles) getting the...

This evening I went to manually adjust the height of my Xenons on my 182 as they're too low, using the Allen key method. I found that on my passenger side, the height adjust motor is constantly turning and the headlight is moving up and down over and over again moving the light beam very very...

Hi all looking for recommendations (and photos if poss) for a replacement headunit in my 182. What I would like are as follows:- Something fairly flush fitting to keep the OEM look Orange illumination to match the rest of the dash Bluetooth would be nice (mech less is acceptable as I've no need...

Hi all just wondering if anyone could post up a photo of a 182 Xenon headlight from the rear, with the rubber cap also in place. I'm having trouble getting the caps on mine seated and a pic would help me locate them correctly ta Michael

This weekend I used plastidip to spray my front and rear diamonds. Quite happy with the result, but with hindsight I should have gone with lighter coats for a smoother finish. May peel it off and do it again when weather permits. I may also have a go at spraying the rear badges too. Worst case...

Hi all my nearside Xenon stopped working this morning (182). I had a quick look under the bonnet and found that the rubber cap at the back of the light unit had come adrift and there were signs of water on the bits beneath. From what I read after searching on here, it could be a bulb, ballast or...

My 182 cig lighter works fine, but neither of my plug in phone car chargers seem to get power when I pop them in. Is there some French quirkiness going on here with regards to the inside of the lighter socket?

Disheartened to say the least. Bought a 182 today and drove home on motorway for 3hrs without incident. Got home, had a cuppa and went to drive to a friend to show it off. However, went to start it and the section that displays the mileage was flashing 'Oil' and the serv light stayed on after...

Well, I've eventually bought a 182 in Racing Blue and it does drive very nice. However, I've found a few issues on the way home that I hope you can advise on.. 1. The horn doesn't work 2. The front fogs don't work (but the light in the dash does come in) 3. The boot doesn't lock. Doors lock on...

Hi all I'm currently in the market for a 182 and saw the following on PistonHeads http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/renault/renaultsport-clio/renault-clio-x65-renaultsport-182-16v-----------2004/1653046 I've sent the owner an email asking for more info on service history...

Hi all while I wait for my MR2 to sell, I've been researching 172s and 182s as a replacement. The budget I've set myself is up to £2.5k. There seem to be a lot of good 172s within that range, with reasonable miles, good history and recent belt/dephaser changes. There also appear to be some 182s...

Hi all just joined up and thought I would introduce myself. I'm a serial owner of what I deem to be 'interesting' cars. Currently got a mark 1 MR2 (3rd one I've owned), which is up for sale, and a mark 1 MX5 track car co-owned with a friend. Generally, I don't keep cars very long (6-10 months)...
