Hi. I have a friend who is looking for a more insurance friendly Clio 2. I have seen a nice looking ph1 1.4S in budget and local. It is nicely looked after with impeccable history but he says it has a timing chain, not a belt. I wasn’t aware of any chain driven Clio engines. The reg is W181WOE...

Hi. a friend is looking for a nice mk2 Clio as a runaround and is too young to insure anything sporty

My wife keeps saying she doesn’t like me driving the clio because other drivers never seem to see it!! (Titanium 182) her exact weirs we’re can’t you get a yellow or red one… (well, if you’re asking…😁) I notice there’s a LY 182 on the bay at present. Clicky Looks really nice, basically...

3 dr mk2 clips all seem to have what looks like a vertical joint in the factory sill panel about half way down the door. I thought this would be an overlap and spotweld joint between the quarter and front part of the sill but now my body cut is apart it is obviously not. I was hoping to join...

A mini driver today forgot BMW minis are not actually small and clattered my drivers mirror at some pace on a back road. I stopped and spoke to her and let it go, it’s only £8 for a new glass so didn’t feel worth the aggro. BUT. Just after we’d driven off I found the drivers window is no longer...

I have managed to score a new genuine 182 cup n/s driveshaft from a fb seller to replace my current one which is leaking gearbox oil from the inner gaiter. I have changed a bunch of driveshafts before but never one this style. I’m assuming it is: Drop gearbox oil Undo hub nut Split hub ball...

Since my 2004 182 blower fan has gone intermittent and a new resistor has done nothing to fix it, I think it’s time to replace it. There seem to be 4 different types of fans listed for the clio mk2: One in a snail shaped housing (I assume phase 1?) Non ac With ac (but not climate) With...

My 182 screen wash is working fine, but the headlight wash has packed up. The pump runs as it should, so I need to investigate, but which washer pump is which? I’d rather only suspect and test the bad one and leave the hood one well alone!! Can anyone please tell me is it the outer or inner...

My Clio 182 is missing about 3/4 of some decal in the drivers door jamb on the B pillar. I don’t know what should be on it, but I would like to reinstate it. What should be there please? Does anyone make reproductions?

I have had the aircon on my 182 leak tested and it has a massive leak, so I have bought a new condenser and all of the seals to give it a refresh. I have done this on a Peugeot 205 gti and a k3micra without having to pull the rad and I would rather do the same on the clio. If I remove the slam...

My 182 has developed a massive pas leak. The rack is dry, the low pressure lines are dry and what I can see of the high pressure line is dry, but it has emptied the reservoir and put a huge puddle on the drive, and the gearbox is literally dripping in pas fluid. any suggestions of the best...

My clio 182 came with the standard sagging rear exhaust. (Milltek) it sat low and crooked but central to the bumper cutouts. I replaced the mounts with Grams 3d printed ones and lined it up really nicely in the centre of the bumper cutouts and level, but it has migrated right in driving till it...

So my recently acquired 182 runs lumpy at idle and low revs. The PO bought it as a project and then it sat in his shed for a few years. Apparently when he bought it, it ran ok apart from the dephaser being shot. This year he stuck an exhaust on it and got the belts, dephaser and tensioners...

Changing the injectors today I noticed the fuel rail feed connector appears to have space for 2 o-rings but only one is fitted. is that correct or am I missing an o-ring?

Can an old key be coded out on a Clio 182? the PO if my project clio ‘forgot’ to bring the spare key when he delivered the car. He was a small time trader so name not in the logbook and I only have details of the unit he used where he is no longer to be found… the car is not worth much but I’m...

So, my 182 project has developed a misfire on idle and I wanted to start some fault finding but I noticed an issue that it was loose at the rear in spite of all bolts being in and tight. when I took it off, I found that 3 bolts look the right length (25mm) and 4 are 5mm longer so won’t fully...

I’m working to straighten the sill edge and jacking points on my clio 182 Project, but I have a problem in that I can’t find a pic anywhere (I have searched) of what the jacking points should look like before they get destroyed. the inner piece of metal is way too long to drop straight down (at...

I need the rear 30cm of passenger side sill replaced, and I’m not sure about what the inner sill and floor edge will look like once I dig into it. I can’t weld, but I was considering cutting out all the rot, preparing the patch panels and getting a mobile welder to come and sort it for me so I...

I have always had a thing from French hot hatches, but I spent 18 years or so in the Peugeot camp (3 205s and a 306) The prices on them have gone west and I always liked mk2 Clips since my best man had a 1.4 sport, so when this came up locally for a decent price I bought it. delivered on...

I had a Peugeot 205GTI for 10 years, but life etc got in the way and I had to sell up. I’ve been missing something cheeky and French for a few years now. going today to look at a silver, 123k mile Clio 182, with cup suspension pack, that needs a little work for an mot for 2k looks straight...
