Hi folks,
My car is currently back at the garage I bought it from because the EML has come on, the car seems to run as normal I can't feel any difference and it sounds healthy enough. The garage are telling me it's because I have a decat, however the car was decatted before I bought it and it...
Hi folks,
My 182 is on eibach sportlines,standard non cup shocks and has standard 182 profile tyres. It handles well and takes undulations and even speed bumps quite nicely, however any sharp bump,even a small pothole completely shakes the car and makes you almost come out of your seat, I've...
Hi folks,
I bought some parts off a prominent member on here 10 days ago and they still haven't arrived. I sent a message on Monday asking for an update and was told he would check up on it for me but nothing as yet. Normally I wouldn't mind quite so much but a couple of days after buying the...
Hi folks,
I'm putting my car back to standard, at the moment it has Apex springs and standard shocks on, I assume it doesn't have the cup suspension pack but will investigate tomorrow. Whilst I'm changing the springs I would like to do the shocks,am I best going for genuine renault originals...
Ok so I'm looking for some advice on mapping. The car has a custom map on it from RSTuning where it had an hour on the dyno with the induction kit and decat on. Now I can have the pops and bangs taken off but leave the map for £50 but when I refit the cat and standard airbox the fuelling will...
Hello fine folks of ClioSport,
Well this is my third sporty clio, going back maybe 5 years now I had a 172, I thought i'd bought a good one with the belts done etc but the receipt turned out to be a fraud and within a week of ownership the auxiliary belt snapped and took the rest of the head...
Do I need a special windscreen for this? My cars had the screen replaced at some point and theres no sensor anymore for the auto lights and wipers. Can I fit a sensor or do I need a specific windscreen? Can't see a new windscreen being cheap just to get that functionality back but I quite like...
My new 182 has just been delivered and the keyring had a cliosport logo on it, the previous owner is a MR A Hammond, just wondering if you're still on here, you've obviously kept it in really good nick!
Hi folks,
My 182 bogs down and has a slight misfire for a second if given WOT at 2.5k. If I accelerate on partial throttle through the same rev range I don't get the issue but floor it at anything below 2k and it will bog down badly at 2.5 every time.
I have changes the plugs for the proper...
Hi folks,
I am refitting a standard stereo to my 182, it all plugs up fine, the face lights up, it makes all the right umm and ahhhss and whirrs and beeps when I press buttons but the screen doesn't display CODE or 0000 it just has the time and nothing else.
What am I getting wrong here?
Cheers.
Ive been fitting new pads and disks on the rear today which gave me a chance to have a proper look at the underneath of the car(not had it long). I noticed this little rod wasn't secured(it had actually popped out of the hole I just put it back in before the picture). I can only guess that maybe...
Hello folks,
Today I set about changing the rear disks and pads on my 182 as the bearings are on their way out. However I've got to the point of removing the hub nut and with my 3 foot breaker it just isn't moving.
The car is up on stands and I need it for work on Tuesday, if anyone in the...
Later today I'm going to pick up my new 182, it has a few little issues,a misfire at idle and a chequered belt history(done recently but by a non specialist), I've booked it in with Birchdown next week but need to get it 50 miles home first without the engine going bang(this happened with my...
Hi folks,
Went to see the 182 I've been looking at today, I knew it had a misfire before I got there, its evident in the video but clears up instantly above around 1500k, the plugs have been changed which leads to me to think it's either the injectors or HT leads.
More importantly I want to...
Long shot but has anyone had a belt done by these folks? I know the smart money is on getting the belts changed by a specialist on here and that would be my preference, however the car I'm looking at had the belts and dephaser done 12k ago and less than a year by the aforementioned garage and...
Hi folks,
About 5 years ago I had a nice phase 2 172 that I loved for about a week, then the aux belt snapped, took the cam belt with it and I ended up with a new head fitted.It was never the same after that and I sold it at a £2200 loss after just 2 and a half months. When it was running it...
