So I'm playing more and more games on my PC at the moment including a hell of a lot of DayZ. My computer sucks its very basic and struggles to run DayZ at low settings even with all the little tweaks etc I can find online that people know about. So I'm looking at getting Corsair Carbide 540...

Helloooo I know this isn't clio related but my heater fan has stopped working in my R26. First port of call was to check the fuses in the glove blox which are fine, so then I replaced the resistor pack and it still doesn't work on any speed. It has climate control but even manually overriding...

After three years and 50,000 miles in my 182, I decided to sell it and move onto something else. So I read a thread on this forum about Megane's 225/R26. Had a little search and saw a couple of Liquid Yellow R26's on ebay and decided that's what I wanted. I wanted something with similar...

When I first got my 182, if it was raining and the windows were steaming up I'd hit the demist button on the climate control and the air con would come on and clear the screen. I'd then switch it back to auto on the climate control. If the windows steamed up again I'd repeat the process but...

My cars booked in for mot tomorrow. Just noticed one of the headlight washers isn't working. Is that a fail? Just curious. I know what it is as I've fixed it before its that crappy plastic bit in the pump has got stuck so it's not alternating the spray iirc.

Am I right in saying that cup packed 182s have a blue and yellow mark on the springs? This is what mine has. I bought two springs off a member on here, he sold them as cup pack springs yet they have blue and green marks on them and they look longer?

Going to be fitting some new front springs tomorrow. I know the basics, but I'm not sure how tight to do up the nuts on the strut. Iirc there's two? One on the top mount to remove the strut and the other that holds the spring on the strut. How tight should these be done up? And is it necessary...

So I was driving to work this morning, changed gear and the plastic bit at the bottom of the gaitor popped out. The clips have broken. Is there any way to remove it? I can't see how you get the top bit off the gearstick? I'm going to repair it. But it'd be easier off the car.

Well its been a while since I've posted any pics or updates. So here goes! My Clio was looking a bit sorry for itself, it hadn't been cleaned for months. I think I lost the love a bit! So I ordered up some gear from CleanYourCar (great service!) to give her a good old clean up. My kit...

Can anyone recommend any good pc racing sims? I've got live for speed. Just got me a Logitech g27 so need a good racing sim :)

as above if anyones interested :) http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220992558788

Anyone got any good recommendations for getting cheap van insurance?. Getting a van for work soon so need some competitive prices!.

Is it possible to change the outer cv boot on the passenger side driveshaft? or is it quicker/easier to change the whole shaft? I just done my lower ball joints and they were a pig, ended up tearing my damn cv boot!

I'm not having much luck here. The two nuts on the lower ball joints undo lovely. The nut on the pinch bolt came off lovely on both sides. But I cannot get the pinch bolt out of the hub. Its bloody welded!. Any tips?. Tomorrow i'm gonna take the brake carriers off so i can get some decent...

Are Motrio brake pads sufficiant for the rear as they don't do much work anyway? Interested as their half the price of Genuine ones.

As above for my 182 with cup packs. Just had my MOT turns out my knocking noise and tyre wear is a worn lower ball joint and not the track rods. Which makes it easier and cheaper for me :D Is it possible to get ones that fit straight on?.

I've got my MOT next week and I've got a feeling the inner track rods are shot. Would a 32mm crows foot spanner do the job of removing the inner track rods?. I know Renault have a special tool but I can't warrant buying it for a one off job. I've heard Freds design of welding a 32mm spanner...

Saw you in the usual place Friday morning :p

I'm a bit confused. From what I can gather a 182 should be set to 12 degrees toe out according to the f4r PDF and the figures Edde has posted in the guides section. Is this correct? Every time my alignment gets done they set it to 12 degrees toe in. I always thought toe had to be slightly in...

I think I might need some track rods. Are the ones from eurocarparts the right ones for a 182 with cup packs?. There seems to be a couple of different lengths to choose from?. I have an SMI steering rack.

Anyone else's Clio suffering from stone chips on the rear quarter just infront of the rear wheel. Mines always had them since I've had it. Annoys me. Just wondered if it was fairly common?

Anyone used the above? Any good? Got my brakes to fit next weekend :)

Saw you heading towards Bognor from littlehampton way. Past you in other direction in my 182. Still can't get over how loud your rs192 is compared to others I've heard.

I'm going to be removing my drive shaft tomorrow, what's the best way to get the shaft out of the hub? Last time I tried it wouldnt budge. Everything was undone. I didn't wanna bash the end too much with a hammer incase I messed the thread up.

Hi people, Need a bit of advice. I'm looking to upgrade to ios 5 now that theres an untethered jailbreak available for it. My current version is 4.3 I think and is jailbroken. So my phone has been backed up in itunes but will it carry all my contacts etc over when I upgrade to ios5? Will I...

I'm still trying to sort out the problem with my 182. When I put it in to first gear and bring the clutch up to biting point the engine thuds. No matter how much you try and feather the clutch. If you dip the clutch and bring it up again it's fine no matter how hard you bring it up. But If...

As above? I took my passenger wheel off at the weekend to find this IMG_0122 by JoeRS182, on Flickr The tire is on the markers but there shouldn't be metal showing like that. I'm guessing its more likely to be down to tracking although I had it done with the tyres 6k ago. Think the drivers...

Came across this on ebay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Renault-Clio-Sport-172-182-2-0-16v-Top-Engine-Mount-O-S-/170581619342?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item27b774f28e Wondered if anyone knew if it was genuine or had dealt with these people before?. Thanks

Spotted you today at goodwood. Didn't manage to find you before you shot off though. Looked clean :)

I've got a little issue thats starting to get annoying. When I pull away in first I get a thud that feels like its going through the whole car when I release the clutch, and it does it when I change into second and third. Not so much in the higher gears. I'm sure it hasn't always been like it...
