Well an update. Reading on the battery was just over 12v, reading on the alternator was just over 11v. So definitely the alternator!

Thanks for the swift response! I'm just off home to test the voltage output so will let you know the results. Tbh I expect it to be the alternator but we shall see. Could a loose earth or something along those lines cause this?

Hi Everyone, I'm not sure if this has been covered before but need a bit of help. Last night on my way home from work the STOP, SERV, ABS, AIRBAG & Battery Charge Light all illuminated on the dashboard followed by the electrics going haywire. I managed to limp home and discovered the battery...

I have just finished doing a cambelt change on my 182 and have the tools available for sale on eBay. They have only been used once and are like new. If anyone on here wants to buy both make me an offer and I will remove from ebay...

Hi Dan, Yes all genuine renault bits, fitted them into the car today and she has never run better! Thanks for all the advice. One other question, does anyone have any experience of fitting aftermarket bucket seats? I have had a read and as I understand it the only sticky wicket is the airbag...

Well I thought I would post an update. Thanks for everyone's advice. I got the head off today and sure enough the valves were wrecked! Have now bought the tools for the belt and a full set of valves/head gaskets etc. now just to find time to fit it all! Hopefully I'll have the clio back up and...

Thanks for the replies. I agree that the valves have probably had it so think it might be time to bite the bullet and buy the horseshoe tool. I'll time it all back up and find out and then if it is as I suspect then off with it's head!

Hi, A few weeks ago my 182 broke down under normal use on a motorway. At the time I suspected it to be the cam belt so I ensured it wasn't turned over etc. I had it recovered home and have only just got round to having a look. I am sure this question has been asked many times but I am at the...

Hi guys, i am am a fairly new 182 cupFF owner and thus far have loved the car. Unfortunately I have a fault developed with my climate control following all the normal symptoms I.e dash unit all working but no fan. i have read the thread on replacing the transistor as I have checked fuses...

Just looking at this thread brings back memories! In a much less sensible life a few years ago I was caught speeding in a friends car and turned out I was uninsured too. (I didn't know this while I was driving!) 6 points in10 and no points sp30 conviction. Needless to say insurance has been a...
