Quick one - what engine oil does a 182 need? I assume something like elf synthetic 5w40, or thereabouts. Need to put some in, but am away from home and have no manual/paperwork with me! Cheers

Hey As the title suggests, the steering column radio remote on my 2005 clio 182 has come off. Looks like a tiny clip has broken and hence whole unit has fallen out, which is annoying. have got the part number etc for it, but am wondering if anyone has fitted one of these? it looks very...

Hey, Car (55 plate 182, 19k miles) has developed a problem... the engine was warm and I was driving along motorway at 70mph (obviously) when the temp gauge fell to zero and the car started to splutter and not respond to the throttle. It recovered after about 15 seconds or so and the gauge...

Took my car into R-Sport in Wimbledon as the brakes were getting a little soft (weaker than my wife's 1.2 Micra), thinking the pads needed changing. Not so, the discs were badly corroded and need changing! I dont use it that much (around 6k miles per year) and he said that my leaving it...

hey, just wondering if this has happened to anyone else, and if it was a warranty job? after about 30 mins of driving the ESP and "SERV" lights come on. they go off if I restart the engine, but come on again after about 30 mins. Last service was July 06 at 12,000 miles, have only done 5k...

oh, it's mine!

You may recall me going on and on about my car being in a Top Gear / Turtle Wax promotion... Just got the following pic send through to me...

Hey, have some minor swirl marks on the paint from polishing it (using Auto Glym, which is probably considered to be s*it by most people on here!) Is there something you can use by hand (ie avoid having to buy a polisher) that can get them out? I saw a turquoise Zymol product (some kind of...

anyone on here?

Just got a new set of Exalto PE2s on the front of my car, got 17k miles out of the old set. Still got loads of tread on the back, probably another 5k-7k miles worth. Just wondering how this compares to the rest of you / other makes etc...

You may have seen the Turtle Wax promo in the back of TGM last month, asking people to send in pics of their cars in a filthy state. Having been to Le Mans and suffered in the down-pours, my car was filthy and I had a few pics of it on my phone so sent one in. Got a call from them on Friday...

Hey all. Just back from a very wet Le Mans (which was, as usual, excellent fun!). But my car got pretty muddy driving over the campsite and I have just cleaned it but it has left marks on the paint! Tried Auto Glym polish and T-Cut but it wont come out! Anyone got any ideas? Will a...

Right, only 4 weeks to go...! Who's heading over? I'm heading over in a bit of convoy (me, Focus ST2, 2x 911s, TVR V8S + v6 Mondeo Estate full of kit). Just a few questions... Wanna get a few Le Mans decals for my car, anyone applied vinyl stickers and got them off successfully...

looks like you'd lost it in the wet, ended up backed up the grass verge, front bumper in the hard shoulder, plastic everywhere. hope all involved were ok!

anyone on here?

Looking into the best way to listen to my ipod in the car, FM transmitter is an obvious choice but I have seen a few places online selling an ipod link for the standard stereo in the 182, meaning you can connect it direct and control it all from the steering wheel controls. Anyone here got one...

been tracking prices for 55 plate 182s on Parkers since I bought mine last summer, price for Private Good condition FF has increased in last few months to £10,400, was below £10k a few months back! Any theories on why? I reckon it's cos the 197 was not that we received, hence people who had...

Normally parked in residents spaces about half way up the hill on the left. Anyone on here?

http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/126550.htm This the same one that was listed here the other day?

Evo dropped on the doormat yesterday, there's an article about the best cars you can get for £10k. mk1 v6 comes out on top vs Impreza RB5, Esprit S4, '96 M5, Audi RS2, Chimera & RX7. Then it goes on to be rated higher than, wait for it, a new Panda 100HP. They didn't pick a 182 for the test...

Was in my cupped Black Gold 182, followed you down A414 then A1081, parting company at M25 J22 roundabout. Immaculate looking Trophy. Anyone here??

My Dad was at Brands last week to arrange a corporate day and met the guy in charge of their track days. As you can imagine, he's driven most cars you'd care to mention round the track there and rates the Clio 182 with Cup Suspension as the best by quite a margin! Says it is the most fun car...

Looking for an excuse to spend a few quid on a sports exhaust to get a few more bhp/Nm from my car, not to mention a better sound! Would ideally replace it when the original expires, so am just wondering how many miles/years a standard 182 exhaust is good for? My car is 11 months old, with 13k...

Finally got my ass in gear to post some pics of my car...

Went to have a sniff around a 197 today at Waters in St Albans. Asked the guy what it would cost to spec-up a new 197 to a similar spec to my 182 once all the options are available (cups packs and recaros). Cos the 197 does not have climate control, auto Xenons or auto wipers, you have to add...

Just been to a client meeting on Lower Thames St, smart looking silver 172 cup in their office car park. Anyone?

When going in a straight line the steering wheel is cocked round to the right slightly. The car tracks and brakes in a straight line, but am wondering if anyone else has seen this happen? Car has cup suspension and nearly 13k miles on it. Cheers

Afraid this is a little boring, but I do a lot of work with retail banks, most of whom provide finance for cars (Renault Financial Services, for example, is part of HBOS). This got me thinking, what proportion of owners take out finance on their cars? Would do one of those poll thingies, but...

Parked on verge on side of the road, private place, after-market exhaust and wheels. Looked like a 172, may have been a done-up Dynamique...:eek:
