Just wondered if anyone could help me? The 182 won't start it turns over then cuts dead I think it's the immobiliser kicking in as the red light stays solid. I've looked at the loom to see if any wire is broken but everything looks ok earth straps look ok too. Is there any way around this by doing something with the ecu/immobiliser? Any help would be great as you can see I'm a bit stuck.

Sounds like a wiring fault mate as a solid light isn't an actual imobilliser fault, it's the imob being told to stay active despite the key being authorised to start the vehicle because the CAN pre-requisits aren't being met.
Check the x3 blade fuses in the engine bay fuse box to as these can suffer with corrosion and also give a solid red light (x1 30A, x1 15A and x1 5A). If you've got some WD40 or GT85 to hand spray some of this on the terminals to. Obviously check the fuses aren't blown to.

I'd also check the 3 black\brown relays in the engine fuse box as these suffer from corrosion 2. Also check your battry a mate had same issue when his battery was on it way soon as new battery was fitted started first time and has been fine since
Have you tried the windows?
If i get that problem (although i think it is with a rapidly blinking red light, not a solid one) I just wind the drivers window down.
then while it is down press the down button again, so the relay (near the UCH) clicks. do that once or twice then give starting it a go.
or try the 'hold down the unlock button on the dash til it beeps, then press your key fob button' first, then do the abovementioned window thing.

Sounds like you have a broken wire, i've repaired a fair few clio's with broken wires where the bend in the loom above the gearbox is, IIRC i think it was almost always an orange/yellow wire that breaks it runs from the engine fusebox to the ECU, it's relatively easy to check,
Just cut the insulating tape off around the plastic sheathing that protects the loom, pull the wires away from the sheathing, and have a good look about if you spy any green looking parts of wire chances are the wire is corroded through, if you find that repair the wire and go from there

Thanks for the reply mate. I have checked that loom and there isn't anything amiss unfortunately it's doing my head in as I'm thinking about putting it back on the road now and selling my vrs.
I've had this problem before but it's intermittent which I don't understand. I will check around the wiring to see but I would have thought if the wiring was dodgy it would be all the time.
Not done it in a while.. But now I've posted this it will do it in the next day or so, it always does! Haah

If you can think of a way of getting it up here! ? And reply to my texts you gimp! ;-)
Mine used to do this all the time, try turning the key between ignition and off quickly, do this a few times and see if it works. Then at least if you get it started you can get it upto Tunsts place to have it looked at properly
