Hi guys, My 182 decided to end itself a few days ago, was reefing it along a country road then out of nowhere 'rattle rattle.... silence' Engine out, head off and there is metallic particles in every oilway and engrained in every running surface, after seeing this im not even going to bother...

Hi guys, I can't seem to shake this steering issue, it feels like it doesn't start to steer straight away if that makes sense, in a straight line I can move the wheel 15-20 degrees side to side without any steering or roll action which you'd expect, nothing. I'm lose to putting the car in the...

Whilst putting some air in my tires I noticed a 20p sized bulge on the side wall, just before the corner. Obviously I'm annoyed because a) I'm no curb scraper and b) this means I now have to cycle everywhere for 2 weeks until I get payed :( After looking on the net, it sees similar things have...

I need to know the bore size and taper for the cat's flange that connects to the manifold, and the pitch of the two clearance holes either side, does anyone know? Cheers

I recently got my belts and dephaser done and got the rocker resealed, no more oil pissing out the top! But I'm still loosing oil ffs :( I've had a look under the car and there and there's trace on the sump, but i reckon that's aftetmath from the top leak. Any ideas on what it could be...

Hi all, I'd firstly like to appologise for another misfire thread, i have read previous threads to no-avail. Im getting a misfire between 1000 and 2000 it happenes at medium to high load and it results in a intermittent juddering type situation. its more like consistent 'missing' if i put...

The clio has recently developed a knocking noise from the drivers side front it seems. it started as a single knock when pulling forward and breaking or reversing and breaking (pressing the brake initiated the noise) but its now much more common. i have checked on both sides the wishbone bushes...

Hi all, 8 months ago I renewed my contract with Vodafone and got the HTC one x. about 2 months ago my phone stopped receiving wifi signal from any router and the touchscreen became intermittent in operation. meanwhile, I haven't had hardly any signal in any areas, extremely poor quality of...

Hi guys, any recommendations on this would be greatly appreciated. On the way home from Cornwall today I noticed my gearbox has developed a high pitched whine through the revs in 1st at medium to high load, anyway.. Im thinking of changing the clutch soon as it feels due ,at the same time im...

You were heading into taunton on the a303 iirc, around 1pm today

I had my mot today, everything was good except for a number plate bulb and said clip. the tester said I can return to him with the work done in 10 days and he will check it and sign it off for free. Can I get this clip on its own or will I have to buy the kit? he said there wasn't any signs of...

spotted heading up staplers and i saw you waiting in traffic

I have a janspeed system fitted, the poverty spec 2.25'' version without the centre silencer (http://www.k-tecracing.com/show_product.asp?id=1264&appid=2) Has anybody else got this exhaust on their 182, if you have i would be very interested know if you preferred the sound after you decatted...

They are always in the way when you need to get under your car. Reverse win, I've never reversed up a mini ramp before, it was a bit strange :P

Recently done my Mrs clutch, it was a ph2 1.2 and I dropped the subframe to do it. I found it fairly simple as I had a hefty assistant and a impact ratchet which absorbed time. It took 8 hours collectively over a weekend which I think is ok for my first clutch. My question is, considering the...

Hi guys, I'm doing the missus clutch in the next few days and would greatly appreciate some pointers :) I've got the kit and new gb oil on order on order and have 99% of everyman tools and provisions. Is there anything special needed for the 1.2? I will most probably be doing the job on axle...

As above.. Whilst cleaning the car this evening I noticed what appeared to be lacquer drip near the door sill, oh.

Hi guys, I need to sort out my cat as its bent and sagged on the olive joint. I have 2 ideas which I would very much appreciate some speculation on: Grind a relief 90% of the way down from the inside of the bent joint and correct the displacement then weld. Or Have off with the olive, get...

As above, basically, i have the KTR/Janspeed standard stainless system. I wish to get a sports cat soon because the olive joint from cat to centre has never ever sealed and i think they are just a totally b****cks idea lol. On the standard Ktr/janspeed system, can i use the ultra performance...

Think I have a case of 'polyplacebo- New oem would have sufficed' syndrome. no major handling improvment, and I'm scared the car will try and kill me if I go for a spirited drive. I don't know if its me being over suspect but I'm sure its a tad understeery and skittish now :( or maybe roads are...

Hi guys, well we are getting into the new year and as such the local sealed surface trials return for the summer. Not particularly wanting to go balls out in 1st all the time in my daily 182, im going to buy a cheap ass mk2p1 1.4 rt for 200 quid and strip it. i have a spare k03 in my garage...

was up on the ramps the other day, had a poke around some bits before it put her on the floor and with a screwdriver between the wishbone and anti roll bar, i could make the bush deflect atleast 6-7 mm is this normal or should i consider replacing. thanks

got a lot of things to do on saturday, steering rack bushes exhaust engine mounts ect. the dogbone renault supplied comes with no fixtures whatsoever. can i re use the old nuts and bolts, maybe with a medium loctite, or shall i get new fixtures. if so, does anybody know what bolts and thread...

as above, you can hear a light grinding from the rear and when moving very slowly, the car will bring itsself to a stop a fair amount faster than a rolling stop. any ideas?

I currently pay 1300 on the 182 which for 2 ncb and a claim at 20 ain't bad. Anyway, did a quote on a megane 225...... £4500 wtf? Nearly 4 times as much for 47 ps extra Epic fail.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DRfBgXp8yog&feature=youtu.be my car has recently developed this noise and its doing my head in !!!! it seems to only resonate at around 3k ish

as above, i would like someone with decent 1*2 knowledge to basically take my car for a spin and diagnose a few things and make recommendations for part renewal. rewarded with beer / beer money. thanks in advance

ive noticed on pretty much every clio except mine: there is a high pitched pssshhhwwwwwww which follows the revs when revving under no load. my 182 doesnt do this, and i would like it too cause its a cool noise HAHA! What probable cause could be stopping it? Just to clarify...
