Hi all, last month my car was in the garage and I had one of the headlights replaced. They basically forgot to put the rubber stopper on the back of the light unit and the moisture is making my lights intermittent. Is there any way of putting it back on without taking out the light? I've...

Just been out for a drive and noticed a weird clicking noise which seems to be coming from the front driver’s side wheel. It sounds like a cable tie or something is rotating with the wheel and hitting the ground on each rotation. I had a look under but could not see anything. The strange...

Hi, my window washers seem to be broken. When I attempt to use them I can hear the motor whirring but no water comes out. The washer bottle is completely full. Is it the pump or could it be something else? I've got a new pump but don't want to go ahead and fit it if it may be just a blockage...

Is this a good price? I have been quoted £438 by Tuning Werkes in South Croydon (London) for a Cat - back Miltek exhaust for my 182. I know I can get a system for £380 on ebay but was unsure how much it would cost to fit (don't want to do it myself). More importantly I was worried about any...

Went to a local garage today and was told that my exhaust was rusted and blowing between the cat and the back box. They told me that they could do a repair by taking out the mid silencer and putting in a straight through pipe between the cat and the back boxes. They are stockists of...

Hi, I'm after a spare wheel for my 182. I wanted to know what particular size fits and can I just go to a breakers and pic one up as long as it has the same number of studs. I would really prefer to get a space saver. Does any one know if you can get one for the 182. Thanks.

Just got my belts and service done and the car is driving sweet. Went to Rentec in Portsmouth and have to say the service was second to none. They even fixed little bits around the car that I didn't even ask for. Thanks!!

I've got a 182 which I bought about a year ago with anthracite alloys . In the last few months the anthracite stuff has started to come of in places and its not due to curbing as its even on the inside of the spokes. Has anyone else had this problem? A friend told me that it could be due to...

I've got my car booked in for next Tuesday at Rentech for the Belts and Service. I live in London so it's a bit of a mission, so I told the missus we'll make a day of it and go down to the coast (we've both got a day off work so I had to sell it to her some how). I just wanted to know how...

Hi all, I've got a 182 with the standard anthracite alloys. The paint has come of in a few places and it really isn't a good look. I heard that a good paint match was Rover stone grey from Halfords. Just wanted some tips on how to apply it to get the best finish. I imagine that once you've...

My drivers side rear shock is leaking and I hear a 'thud' everytime I go over a bump. I hear Renault do them for about £55 each and you need to change both at the same time. I have a FF 182 with cup packs. Just wanted to know if there was a difference between the standard 182 shocks and the...

Hi all, I've just booked my 182 ( 04 plate) in for the 36k service and i'm having the aux and cam belt changed as well. The best quote I could find was £1000 including all belt kits, at renault in Coulsdon (so I booked it in). They originally quoted £1600 but when i told them that my cheapest...

Was driving to work this morning and these 3 lights suddenly appeared on the dash (standard 182). Thing is, when i turned the car on to leave work they were all off again. the same thing happened about 2 months ago. Anyone got any ideas as to what this could be. Thanks. Sorry, thats suppose...

I've had my 182 clio with cup packs for about 2 months now and i'm noticing that it feels a bit unsteady at speed. I'm talking maybe 70-80mph. It just does'nt inspire much confidence in me. I've also found that breaking from speed can also feel a bit unsteady. Just wanted to know if anyone...

Does anyone know if renault did front seat covers for the 182. Mine look like their starting to feel the years a bit and I want to preserve them. I'm sure I've seen a car with them before. Sorry just realised that this was in the wrong area.

How obvious is it to tell if my shocks are leaking. Can I just get under and have a look or will i have to jack the car up and take off the wheel. And what exactly should I be looking out for. It's just that i'm suffering a few of the symptoms of leaking shocks (according to others on this...

i'm looking to change my engine oil and was hoping some of you could recommend some good brands. as far as i know the clio takes a 5w40 oil and renault use Elf (is this any good). any opinions much appreciated. it's a 182.

just bought my clio 182 and i often hear a creaking noise when i'm parking. i park on a curb and it sounds to me that its the suspension. i also get it sometimes when cornering. any ideas what it could be. thanks. sorry but 'creaking' is the best i could come up with to describe the noise.

Hi, just bought my clio 182 so i'm still familiarising myself with all the gadgets. I've noticed a gear symbol on the dash, would I be right in assuming that it's a gear change indicator or is that just wishful thinking.

Hi all, just bought my clio 182 and the exhaust seems to be in it's way out. I've heard this is common and would like to get a stainless steel cat back system. Any recommendations will be much appreciated. I don't want anything loud just a subtle tone will do. I would also like something...

Hi, just bought my clio sport 182 and it's an amazing machine but the car tends to tramline a lot especially when cruising along slowly. I also found that theres a lot of torque steer when i take it through the revs. Is this normal?

Hi all, just bought my clio sport 182 and loving it. I can't stop cleaning it at the mo and was wondering if anyone knew of a product to clean and condition alcantara. Thanks.
