Nice MoT history on this one

Renault Clio 182 2004 - No Reserve | eBay

The bonnet needs the catch resetting as the bonnet sits high. I liked it was original cars with no mods. Blowers stay on. Windows don’t go down (pretty sure this is a fuse).

Oddly, the listing fails to mention :
Offside Front Suspension component mounting prescribed area excessively damaged significantly reducing structural strength (5.3.6 (a) (i))

Going back through the MoT history is...... well...... it's something

Be interesting to see what that damage actually is, cos most of the other stuff is regular failure items for a 1*2.

• Brake load sensing valve linkage defective and function impaired (1.1.17 (a))

Do they mean the xenon headlight adjuster?

No, they mean the brake load sensing valve linkage.

No, they mean the brake load sensing valve linkage.

All done through the ABS system on a 182 isn't it.

 

[McGherkin]

I thought they all had one still, but the 172 cup (infamously) had it disconnected.

The 1.2 MrsGherkin had for a while had one and that had ABS.

Nah the headlight adjuster is still on the ream beam

I still think the load sensor does f**k all tbh

Could be right, but i've had my 182 for 9 years and never noticed one

My 1.2 had no ABS and all it ever did was lock the rears. Made panic braking interesting, no wonder they disconnected it on the cup.

 

[JamesBryan]

Just done a search, the 182 definitely doesn't have one.

Fred at BTM confirmed on an old thread.

 

[McGherkin]

My bad then. Wonder how the tester knew one was missing then?

Maybe he's mistake it for the xenon leveller as @Amos91 said

 

[R3k1355]

Well the Xenon adjuster would certainly not function correctly as a brake load sensing valve.

 

[charltjr]

I did wonder about that…...

 

[Oggy997]

I don't think they function very well as xenon adjuster's either given they're always f**king broken

 

[lemonnobby]

Jesus thats a bad one.

Bidding up to £1,100, which I'd say is more than fair, clearly didn't want to take that though as it's been relisted for £1,300?
