    Do you need to flush the cooling system when doing a coolant change?

    Need to do a coolant change on the 182 soon, but just wondering if it's essential to flush the system through with water as I don't have access to a garden hose where I'm currently living. Would you get away with just pouring a jug or two of water into the expansion tank after taking the hose...

    Arctic Blue 182 track toy M25

    Saw this on the back of a trailer this evening, didn't have a number plate on but had a big yellow 90 on the rear drivers window. Wasn't in my car so you wouldn't have seen me. Anyone on here?

    Speedline 2118's or Rota Grid V's?

    In two minds! Currently have 15" Speedline 2118's fitted to me AB 182, but have just seen some beautiful Rota Grids for sale which I have always had a soft spot for. What's everyone's opinion? I love both but can't quite make up my mind.

    Clicking noise during slow stop-start and wheels vibrating over 60mph

    Hi guys, recently have noticed a few things with my 2005 182. Firstly there is a slight clicking noise when I brake lightly during stop start traffic, it doesn't happen all the time it's quite intermittent. I notice it the first time I brake in reverse as well or the first time I brake in 1st...

    Sam's AB 182

    So I've had the 182 about six months now, after previously owning a little low n' slow 1.2 Clio, and it's fair to say that quite a few things have changed in that time so I decided to make a thread to show how it's coming along. The car had already been upgraded a fair bit before I bought it...

    Front brake squeal (182)

    So my front brakes have been squealing a lot when slowing gently after fitting new pads. I fitted brembo drilled discs (can't remember the exact model number) a few weeks ago which I used with the stock pads for a while as ktec sent me the wrong pads! Anyway, there was no squeal when using the...

    URGENT rear brake retaining clips part number

    Hi, I need to know the part number for the metal bar at the bottom of the brake pads on the rear brakes of a 182. Also I need to know the number of the bracket that clips onto the pad. Or alternatively where I would be able to buy them??

    Spotted these two in the car park at Sainsbury's in Southend this afternoon. Not sure if parked next to each other by coincidence? Anyone on here?

    Black caged 182 (54 plate) Eastwood Road

    Was behind you after you pulled out of the car garage opposite progress road. Exhaust sounded pretty meaty, could hear it over the top of mine :grin:

    Blown fuse now car won't start

    Hi, I was changing the interior LED's to blue and managed to blow the central locking fuse when doing the hazard dash. Now the car won't start, is it normal for the car not to start until I put another 5 Amp fuse in or has something else blown as well? When I turn the key to start the engine I...

    Red 182 Trophy Rayleigh

    Pretty sure I just had a nice red trophy follow me along Grove Road in Rayleigh, was hard to see from it being so dark but from the glance I took in my mirror as I turned off it looked to be a red trophy. Anyone here?

    Interesting Inferno 182 at Players

    Spotted an Inferno 182 at Players today with a graffiti/stickerbomb type design on the bonnet and part of the wings. Pretty interesting idea, nice to see something different!

    Would 172/182 REAR coilovers fit on a non-sport (Mk2 Ph2)?

    Hi, I have a 2002 1.2 Clio which is currently sitting on a coilover kit with the usual spring and adjuster rear setup. I am considering swapping the rears to a full coilover setup to give me that extra bit of adjustability that I want. Now I know that front coilovers for Clio 172/182's wouldn't...

    Rear suspension lower on drivers side

    Hi all, I've seen a couple of threads around this issue but not really enough to get a definitive answer. My mk2 phase 2 1.2 Clio is on coilovers and currently sits quite noticeably lower on the rear drivers side than on the passenger side. I've even gone so far as to take the adjuster out of...

    Good shocks for 50mm springs

    Hi, I'm thinking of buying some 50mm springs from another member on here for my 2002 mk2 1.2 16v. People say that you can have the 50mm drop on standard shocks but it will wear them out quickly. Can anyone recommend a decent set of shocks for a good price that will last longer and save me the...

    Eibach Pro-Kit 30mm Springs

    Hi everyone I'm new here thought I'd ask some advice re lowering, I'm thinking of buying some Eibach Pro-Kit springs for my mk2 ph2 Clio to lower it 30mm. I just want to point out before people start saying "go for 60mm not 30mm" I'm still skeptical about getting it lowered at all- I don't...
