I've just noticed a new noise. Its not horribly loud but its almost always there. Its most noticable when slowing down from 60mph to stop and sounds like a whirring/droning sound winding down. any thoughts? What does a nackered wheel bearing sound like?

If you see this I would love to know what map your running to be making all that noise!! ;)

Hi, My alarm has just gone off and I'm trying to work out what caused it. It was blinking three times on the LED inside the car which going by a guide on here, is the untrasonic sensors on the pillars. I take it these are not just PIR's so what triggers them and how do they work? The doors had...

Can someone link me to some good quality replacement bulbs that they have used? I can find lots of cheap bulbs on ebay but would prefer some recommendations!

I have seen these http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250862616573&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT and I want them! Would they fit a clio 182? Has anyone got photos of RS clio's with 14 inch wheels? Any draw backs?

I may have just either developed a fault, or noticed something that has always been there. Either way, when I floor it in my 182 the gas pedal travels as one would expect it to, however once I reach the end of its travel, if I push a bit harder it feels as if it suddenly lets go and travels an...

Having heard people talk about putting 182 manifolds on 172s for power gains, I was just wondering if the same could apply to 197 parts on a 182? eg, inlet manifolds etc...?

As per the title, how do you change the knob in a 182? If its even possible? Mine is looking very tired!

Did the clio 182 come with a cd changer as standard/optional extra? I'm selling mine on ebay as I thought it was factory fitted but someones come back saying that its not original because they never had them?

if you had £250 to spend on engine mods what would you buy? After spending about £2k fixing my 182 (in only 8 weeks of ownership) its time to treat it to something fun! I'm thinking either matched inlets or stage one map from k-tec? What panel filter is recommended for clio sports?

hi, am about to fleabay the cd changer that was in my 182 when i bought it second hand. Its made by VDO dayton. Is this a standard renault/182 changer? any idea on price guideline?

How do i post images from flickr into a thread?

Hi, Just went out to take the other half to work. As per, i turned the key in the ignition and it kind of chugged a few times, got started and as soon as I released the key, it konked out. I gave it a few minutes and tried again, this time it was a bit lumpy on start up but got going. For a...

hi, I have a set of locking bolts on my clio. as per, they come with a socket which is used to undo them. Unfortunately I was just outside trying to get my wheels off when the outer casing of that socket cracked down the edge. So... my wheels are on and theres no problem there, but what am I...

Hi, I'm trying to confirm before buying which powerflex ARB bushes i need for a 2004 clio 182. The listing i'm looking at seems to have the outer bushes as either 22 or 23mm and the inner bushes as 23 or 25mm. I'm guessing maybe the trophy/cups may have a different bar? can you help?

Had AA come out this morning to plug in and investigate a 'check engine' light that appeared out of nowhere when I cold started this morning. Turned out to be 'P0130' for 'Bank 1 sensor 1' O2 sensor. Cleared it, and it wont come back so it may have just been an intermittent fault. Has this been...

Hi, are RPower induction kits any good? I bought a 182 with one already fitted and research shows that they cost about half that of a k&n/green/pipercross etc... So i'm wondering if its worth changing or not? If i keep it, it needs a clean so does anyone know if a k&n cleaning kit would be...

As per the title, I just bought a stoplock pulsar which holds the horn down when fitted because the airbag seems to stick out quite alot on the sports. Anyone got one that fits?

Hi, Just had two new tyres fitted to replace my fronts which were a mis-match from the previous owners budget tyre buying days. While fitting them I got the guy to swap the T1R toyo's from the rear wheels onto the front as they have reasonable tread left, so the new tyres are at the back and the...

Just come 4 hours from leeds. On the way up there was no issue, but coming back down home 7 out of 10 times, when i put my left indicator on, it cancelled the cruise control?? Initially i thought it was the judder from cat's eyes triggering the brake sensor but after a hour or so it was clear...

Hey all, just picked 182 up from a very reputable specialist and had cambelt, dephaser, aux belt and plugs changed. On way home, dash lit up with 'serv' 'ESP' and another light (which i've swiftly forgotten which one). Engine seemed to be idling lumpier than normal but not hugely. Have switched...

Hi, My 182 is going in to have all the belts done on Thursday. I've only had a clio for a short time and until recently had never even heard of a dephazer pulley, so I have no idea how they behave. Its done 70k, and the difference in price is about £200 if i chose to get the pulley replaced. As...

Hi, I've had a search about and found on here that the best place for the power cable is to go through the grommet with the bonnet release cable, but i cant for the life of me find out where it comes out in the engine bay. Tried pushing the wire through with no luck. Any advice?

apologies if this has come up before but after a search I saw nothing of relevance. I have just bought a 182 on 69.5k. The service book has an entry at the back saying that the belt was changed at 52k but I'm slightly suspicious of its genuineness for reasons I wont bore you with. So my feelings...

hi, clio 182, I've had it a week and its quickly developed a buzz when the revs are around 4.5k. It occurs when accelerating and if I rev the engine past 5k, I can hear it when the revs are settling back down briefly. Occurs in and out of gear. I know this is vague, but is it a common issue? any...

Hi, i've been struggling with the wiring of some components today. Originally tried just using the factory wiring and plugging in the new speakers but whilst it seems to work for the door speakers, the tweeters are making a loud popping sound (in time with the music). I'm wondering if because...

I hate to sound daft but how does one go about washing the headlights on a clio 182? When I pull the windscreen washer they dont come on and I would have assumed that thats how they worked??

Hi has anyone got any pictures of a 182 with a leon cupra r splitter? had a good look and could only find one which wasnt a good photo! Thanks in advance

hi, I have just bought a clio 182 and have been told that its idling too low? it sits about 800, somtimes dips and after a long time idling when warm, it gets a bit lumpy (not massively, but not normal). Aparently it shouldnt dip below 1k?? what do yours idle at? thanks
