Took the Clio for blast to RAF Marham to watch the Tornados yesterday & took a few photos (I'm a bit of a fast jet geek :sleeping: and occasionally like to go and watch them). Wish I had a better lens with me as the photo's aren't great but still a nice drive out :up:.
So after collecting my new 182 last Saturday, it developed a misfire which meant I got to drive it for all of 20 minutes!
Garage took it back and it was reading a misfire on cylinder 3 so they have changed plugs, leads, coil pack and 2 injectors along with a new cat and manifold (must have cost...
I have told them its got to be a like for like replacement and i want the paperwork to prove it.
I was toying with putting a de-cat pipe on it, do you know if its worth it or not? (apart from the MOT failure)
Thankfully not. Being done under warranty from the garage I got it from.
Noticed when I got the rear tyres changed on Saturday that the cat and manifold were in a real s**t state and needed replacing asap. Then the misfire started and fault code pointed to injector and lambda! Just glad i didn't...
Thanks guys.
It's going back to the garage on Monday to be sorted. Also noticed while it was on the ramps at Kwik-Fit that the cat needs replacing as it's rotting on the joint!
Hey,
Picked up my 182 this afternoon and it was driving fine for an hour or so and then started a misfire whenever I started to put power down. It's now got a really lumpy idle and occasionally pops from the exhaust while idling.
No fault lights have shown.up on dash either.
Any ideas?

Thanks lads and ladies.
Luckily I know the garage where the work will be done and I've taken my cars there for years so I trust the work will be done correctly.
I will post as soon as I get it.
Its currently on 84,000 miles but there is no proof of the belts having been done. But as part of the sale they have agreed to a belt change, water pump and dephaser.
Its got FSH and is standard apart from a K-TEC decat.
