Hi all, I have recently bought off of my parents a nice 07 Clio 197 low mileage, loads of history and it's had a very easy life mainly used by my mother to drive to Asda. One thing that is irking me though is an issue where above 6k rpm it's hard to change gear, it blocks and you really have...

As titled really the right hand thumb grips is ruined on my 182 and the ones I've found online are hilarious money. Is there still someone on here selling them for a resonable price?

The rear right of my boot is leaking quite a lot of water in heavy rain after doing a search on here I tried resealing the light unit but it's still doing it is there anywhere we where it can come in?

So I did my first track day Saturday and it was brilliant but also slightly frustrating as after the 3rd session I had to take things pretty careful. The reason being that my Goodyear eagle f1s that I've always rated very highly on the road started graining badly and as they aren't that old I...

As above really I see lots of different opinions, mine can be abit dodgy from the top of 2nd into 3rd although not very often I think I want to change it before doing a track day as its not exactly expensive have many people done this and had it made a difference or is it asking for trouble?

Fitting new disks, bearings etc on the rear of my 182 this weekend but I've just realised my torque wrench doesn't go as high as 175Nm. It'll do 135Nm can I get away with doing 135Nm and then "some more" or is this going to bugger the new bearings quickly because they're not preloaded properly...

My 182 seems to be tramlining quite badly to the right, it tries to pull itself to the other side of the road if you get near the white lines. Also the otherday I gave it a bootfull in first gear and it torqued steered quite violently to the right again I assume it was tramlining and it got...

Where are the main earths on 182's? I have a problem when I use the brakes, indicate or engage reverse the sidelight light on the dashboard lights up (it even flashes with the indicators). It's never actually worked but the sidelights have so I never bothered investigating it but now it's...

Just had my bill from the garage for cambelt kit and service etc I had done. When they were doing it they noticed the water pump was leaking so they replaced that too fair enough. But on the bill they have charged me 4 hours labour on top of the 6 hours for the cambelt itself which seems a bit...

My exhaust is banging the knackered old mounts have so much flex in that one of the rear silencers can hit on the metal bit of the rear hanger and bang. I want to do the exhaust mod using the powerflex mounts like this...

Passed going the other way a couple of times, I'm in a silver 182 it's funny watching your head follow my car as you go past realising it's a sport and I think I do exactly the same to you!

A few months ago I had the steering rack mounts replaced on my 182 I knew something was wrong as the steering was awful, me and my Father found that it was the steering rack bushes by having one person in the car rocking the steering wheel and the other with a torch looking down the back of the...

I've just bought an OEM exhaust that has all the standard mounting points. The current exhaust uses none of the standard mounts so I need to find out what they were like. For starters the rear most two mounts near the tailpipers are still there so that is fine I can use them. The next mounts...

I'd wanted a Clio sport for ages finally got one in may and I have to say most of the time the handling is stunning the steering and the way you can chuck the car about is brilliant fun. But the suspension and damping isn't what I expected, not long after buying it I found I had a bust rear...

I bought a tuner list with the intention of using the connects2 box I already have with it to get an aux connection through the CD autochanger socket on the back. The plug goes in fine; Although I haven't found anywhere to mount the brown wire, but it worked without this being screwed in on...

I know this type of thread has been posted loads before (I would know I've been searching!) but I haven't found an answer to what head unit my 2004 non cup 182 would have had, I tried Renault at they didn't know. Basically it has a horrid aftermarket Sony in and I would like to put what should...

My 182 came with a dreadful aftermarket stereo someone had put in and i'd like to get a standard headunit for both improved sound quality and looks. Question is I still want to have an auxiliary in and I have one of these connects 2 boxes that I was using in my Seat Leon that tricks the headunit...

My 182 seems to have mismatched springs on the rear so id like to replace them but the Renault ones seem silly expensive, there are loads for much cheaper on eBay and as far as I'm aware as long as they are the same spring rate they will do the same job? Granted they might not last as long but...

The power flow system my car came with is just to noisey and boomy for my tastes I'm wanting an exhaust that is as close to the standard cars as possible but there seems to be a whole range of different options out there and I've no idea which will be best.

I was wondering whether it was possible to replace the bulbs in the instrument panels, I'm on about the ones for traction control and abs etc. Reason being is that my traction control light doesn't flash and the DSC button doesn't bring up the light to show its disabled but the traction control...

I drove home my 182 for the first time today and as soon as I was travelling at a reasonable speed realized there is something up with the steering. I was expecting a quick and darty feel whereas I have a dead spot around the middle where there is absolutely no feel to the point of being almost...
