Hi, I have a 2004 Renaultsport Clio 182 which is not currently my everyday vehicle. Who are the insurance favourites right now? FYI - Greenlight will not quote with my postcode. Thanks,

Hi, Is there a directory or list somewhere of good Renaultsport specialists in both North West and West Yorkshire? Being based in the north eastern outskirts of Greater Manchester does put me in the realm of no-man's land of Renaultsport specialists it appears! Thanks,

Hi, My Clio has an RS192 fitted which appears dated 07-12 (presuming that means 2012). The centre silencer box has fractured where there are pipe support stays and also where the pipe enters into the silencer box. A couple of weeks ago I emailed RS192 via the website email address and have...

Hi, My Clio 182 has rebuilt calipers all round, and also fitted new Pagid discs with OEM spec Brembo pads all round as well. I have found that the brakes can sometimes be grabby / snatchy at slower speeds, and other times behave more progressive like they used to. At speed I have found that...

Hi, Is it possible to get the Clio 182 injectors refurbished and if so by whom and how much? Weighing up options after it looks as though I have an injector failure based on symptoms and fault code. Thanks,

Hi, Long shot, but did anyone know a Clio 182 with the registration P55DUD? Thanks,

Hi, My Clio 182 had a felt liner on the inside face of it's nearside rear wheel arch. This has disintegrated and didn't survive the last underbody pressure wash. Are there meant to be one on both sides of the car? Are they necessary or merely to minimise water spray from the middle of the...

Hi, I have been doing some corrosion maintenance on my Clio 182, and have discovered a few mud traps which don't appear widely discussed. My findings were: A triangular shelf area between the rear axle mounts, tucked up high; Beside the fuel tank on the driver's side, adjacent the axle...

Hi, I am doing some corrosion treatment around the fuel filler on my 182. In removing the filler cap, the plastic hinge base plate disintegrated. Is this part available separately and where from? Thanks,

Hi, My Clio 182 has developed a minor misfire at low rpm and I have traced it to the coil pack arcing to the inlet manifold. It appears the arc is between the bottom right corner of the coil pack, where it then jumps across to the inlet manifold where the vacuum pipe is clipped. I have not...

Hi, I won't be having time to resolve the brake problem on my Clio 182, which has been parked up for a few months whilst trying to work out how to properly bleed the brakes post changing the Master Cylinder. Are there any recommended Renaultsport specialists near north Manchester who I can...

Hi, I have had a look but not been able to confirm the OEM Part No. for the brake master cylinder on a Clio 182. Does anyone know what this is and what a reputable supplier for it would be? Regards,

Hi Both front brakes on my Clio 182 do not appear to be fully releasing. If the car is not used for a period then the car will roll freely, however should you use it in stop start traffic say then they pump up and start to drag. This is exhibited by the heavier steering and that both front...

Hi My Clio 182 will put the oil pressure and stop warning lights on if the engine raises above around 1,000 rpm. I am hoping it is a sensor fault but if it were wouldn't the light be on all the time? Thanks,

Hi, I am using my Clio 182 again after having had it parked up for around six months. All is generally well however the steering does feel heavier than I remember. When on the move, the initial range of movement is relatively light but as the front wheels are turned further the weighted...

Hi, The upper part of my Clio 182's top mounts do not match each other in the distance that they protrude. The car has had two sets of new OEM top mounts including rubbers, and this had made no difference. Whilst the front suspension struts were removed from the car I checked them against...

Hi, My FF Clio 182 has developed an occasional but severe vibration which takes place at speeds above 40 mph and I cannot trace the cause. Symptoms are that at speeds above 40 mph, a bump in the road can cause violent vibrations which shake the front of the car as if a wheel had come loose or...

Hi I might be setting my Clio 182 aside as my second car rather than my daily driver. Does anyone do classic or specialist second car insurance policies for these? Thanks

Hi The past winter has not been so kind to the underside the Clio 182. Underseal has been damaged or hardened and split, allowing water in and this has caused areas of corrosion around the rear parts (i.e. boot floor and structures either side). The rear heat-shield is also corroded from...

Hi In my nineteen months of Clio 182 ownership I have found more and more often that whilst certain parts are available, they have to be ordered in over a period of days. I have also found that on starting some jobs, you then only find out about some other associated issues or further parts...

Hi I have had the injector rail off and the O rings for the injectors are past their best and the fuel line connector to injector rail O-rings have split. Where can I get a set of injector and fuel rail O rings from? Do they need to be resistant to petrol exposure? Thanks!

Hi Would someone be able to explain to me the Ackermann angle and how having a different offset affects this? I remember reading that on the Clios it doesn't make much difference having greater or less offset (within reason), but then if that was the case why did the 172 Cup have different...

Hi Guys I had the bumper and bonnet painted last summer and the car has collected quite a few visible stone chips. The bumper and bonnet were painted using the non-baked method (I'm not sure how it works mind). Is this type of paint a lot softer than the baked paint? I ask as I will...

Hi I've been trying to track down a pair of genuine roof bars for the Clio 182 but they seem to be pretty rare. What others have people experience with which are good as or better than the genuine items? This is so I can carry the bike without having to dismantle it every time I want to take...

Hi My Clio 182 has recently had the clutch changed and since getting the car back I have found that the gear lever is no longer central. The gear lever centres to the right and gears are over to the right with narrower gate distances between third and fifth. How do I adjust this at the gearbox...

Good evening all, I'm likely to be carrying out the clutch change on my Clio 182 following the symptoms of a broken spring on the pressure plate (which a renault garage also concluded) due to inconsistent clutch drag problems. I have read a few of the guides on here and elsewhere. It looks as...

Hi I don't think my clutch pedal is auto adjusting. I had to do a manual reset a short while back which seemed to cure the problem but the clutch is dragging again now. How do I remove the mechanism and pedal from the car so I can clean it up and regrease? (Car is Clio 182) Thanks

Hi, This is a post out of interest more than needing it at the moment! But didn't some variants of the Clio 172 / 182 engine when installed in other cars and vans do without the dephaser pulley? As it's alleged the dephaser is for emissions only, is there any reason why this could not be...

Hi, My Clio 182 has had new top mounts, wishbones, ball joints, track rods and ends and ARB bushes. Not all took place in that order. The last item to be fitted were new top mounts (original type) and then a couple weeks later wishbones with ball joints. After the first week with the new...
