After getting an advisory on my rear spring for my 182 FF at MOT, and being told its £80 for a replacement.
With most of you saying I'd be better getting lowering springs.
What is the difference to the cup suspension when lowering springs are fitted. I don't want to lower it much if it can be...
its only an advisory. they said since its still held when jacked up its a pass.
Whats the deal with the apex springs or the eibach ones.
are the a stiffer spring, shorter etc?
also noticed I can get these at euro car parts

would even these do a clio 182 with cup packs
hi folks,
Got my car in for an mot today (which it failed on ball joint and rear number plate light.)
anyway I got an advisory for a rear spring which has broken and there saying to change it would cost me £80 for the part alone.
I've searched on ebay and found springs that say they fit a...
I think my top strut mount is done in. I've been looking for the parts after the dealers gave me a price of about £55 with the new spacer plus vat.
my car is a 182 FF.
The question I would like answered is are all the clio mounts the same i.e. 182 the same as 1.2 etc?
I've noticed some on...
from £418.70 to £701 for a 1.01% increase. its nice that is. only got that exhaust so it would last longer as it came with a lifetime guarantee for £80 more than a mild steel replacement.
So all in If I had just got mild steel and let it to rust and got a new one i would have been better off...
That's what I thought but they want a value.
Said I should phone the garage that fitted it. They'll not know.
I bought it off the net and they just stuck it on.
Hi,
I'm trying to get insurance for my 182.
I've got a quote from direct line but they want to know how much of a performance increase my cat back stainless miltek will produce before giving me a quote.
Could anyone shed some light on this for me?
Thanks
Bryan
Re: ***How much is my car worth?***
I have had my car for sale for £3500 before dropping to £3300 then to £3000. From that experience alone I would say you'll struggle to get £4000.
Only when I got down to £3000 was I made offers and some were £2500 which I could get as a trade in. I've done a...
Re: ***How much is my car worth?***
Hi folks,
I done a few searches on car valuation sites to see how much my car is worth.

my insurance went from 550 to 780 with another years no claims. Why? my cars value is dropping quicker than I can pay it off. I've got 5 years no claims and I'm 27.
I was asking my mate about his he's got an audi s3 valued at 22000 with less no claims same age in the same village and is paying...
put a miltek cat back on mine yesterday. doesn't sound that loud and I can hardly tell the difference from the old one. its stainless though so it'll last the life thats left in the car.
370 of ebay with lifetime guarantee you can get a mild steel one for about 300 posted with 2 year guarantee...
Just wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of a site that I could get this stuff from.
I was on euro car parts but didn't know which set was the right type.
It's an 06 1.2 campus sport.
Cheers
has anybody removed and painted the strips along the dash?
mine has a scratch on one.
how easy are the to remove and how should I go about spraying them?
I've been told of someone before that its due to the engine recirculating the exhaust fumes in order to heat the engine up quicker.
Don't know how true it is but it makes sense to me.
finally got a resistor pack for this and got it sorted cost me £104 for it and that was somebody getting it with discount. the stealers were quoting 125 an my mate got quoted 115 through his work (which is bmw).
Does anyone have any idea what causes this? a guy at a scrappies I went to said...
Had mine out last night due to mine not working. looking to replace it.
just trying to get a price from a mate for one of these. stealers wanted £125 plus vat, I think, when he said 125 I jumped out the seat and left anyway.
It's easy to remove 6mm socket for the 2 screws (just don't drop...
