My Clio 182 has done minimum mileage over the past few years before I got it (55 plate 26,000 miles) recently. The battery was either disconnected or had died in it sitting for so long. Exactly the same lights were illuminated on mine and turned out to be the steering angle sensor which sits...

I had already looked on their website and didn't see any unfortunately.

Sweet, certainly another option anyway. A slight difference in colour maybe, but surely a paint expert will be able to colour match the original so it'll be the same just not sticky.

I do t fancy the flocking option due to the car only having 26k on the clock. Non sport might work, I'll look into it. I assumed all models would have the same problems.

What would be the best option for me to revamp the door grabs that have degraded over time? I'm a fan of originality so painting them a glossy vibrant colour isn't really an option I don't think. As long as it looks good and will stand some wear and tear then I'm open to suggestions. The...

Nice one chief. Appreciated. Job will get done in about 2/3 weeks when I'm onshore again, I'll update accordingly.

Cheers Dave, appreciated. Any lubricant required? Or something like copper slip for reassembly?

Looking for a wee bit of advice. I've got a replacement rear bumper and passenger door for my 182. Having looked at a few threads on here and tutorials it would seem potentially easy enough if not a bit fiddly. I've done no bodywork in the past but am mechanically/electrically competent...

Yes, ideally I wanted a screen for the benefit of sat nav use. I managed to get it fitted ok - was a squeeze right enough! but with a bit of perseverance and patience it went in. Not as flush fitting as others maybe but that's the nature of the design. Unfortunately the steering controls...

Well the gremlins have been ironed out so now it's time to fit the new head unit. Plumped for a Pioneer AVH 7800BT in the end with the flip out screen, will be fitted this morning. Quite a bit of wiring to hideaway and get set up properly.

Turns out the 15Amp fuse was blown. Changed it out and full functionality of visor lamps, cigar lighter and radio with ignition is all working. Happy days

Everything is stock, no wiring changes etc. The stereo has definitely been out a few times though judging by the marks on it. I'll get to the bottom of the little niggles that's for sure.

Well, as suspected it was just a case of removing the speaker connectors and re attaching them more securely before sliding the head unit in carefully to not dislodge them. All speakers fully functional. Now to find out why the stereo doesn't fire up and switch off with the ignition but does...

Karlos, I too could never lock the car away like that either. It'll do small mileage that's for sure but it will be used.

Chris, it worked a charm mate. Thanks a lot. Passenger front speaker isn't working though but a good chance that's a wiring issue at rear of head unit. Further invest required...

That's the info from the current head unit Chris. Any assistance would be welcome. A couple of other great replies folks. Brilliant thanks.

Cheers folks, I'll see if I can get an agreed price of £5k then. Seems like a general consensus for the value. The car is going to be used as a second car so won't be locked away. Maybe that's what should be done but I'd like To keep it looking sweet and straight.

Full belts and oils servicing will be carried out by the weekend. A very couple of minor cosmetic issues needing addressed but is in very good condition as expected for the mileage. £3,500 to £5,000 is a fairly wide range but I suppose it's only real value is in what would someone be willing...

Without sounding arsey, Regardless of what was paid for the car or how it has come into my possession, surely the overall value should be the same? I've inherited the vehicle through bereavement.

Hi guys Looking for your opinions on pricing my new motor for insurance purposes. 55 plate silver 182 with both cup packs. I'm the second owner. 26,000 miles. Completely original.

Cheers guys. Car was purchased. Needs a little tidy up here and there but with 26k miles on a 55 plate then I'd say it'll be worth it when done.

Hey guys, I'm new to the Renault scene and looking for some advice. I've had a search through the forum but a lot of threads are a few years old so I've started a new one, apologies if I've missed something obvious. Just purchased a Clio 182 FF and looking to change the standard stereo (I...

Thanks Typhoon! She's a 55 plate car mate, so about 12 years old. I'm a Renault novice, normally a BMW man and have an Audi avant as the family car. This is the toy/second car.

I've been given a Fabia splitter which was bought for the car new boxed so will get that fitted. No belts done, first job before anything else I can assure you. The full load, inc water pump, dephaser, oils, filters etc. She's immaculate inside, some old biddy had her from 3 months old and...

Hi all, Picked up my new little toy today in the form of a silver 182 sport FF - although currently missing a lip spoiler. One previous owner and a mere 26k covered! Drives tight and straight. A few cosmetic issues to tidy up and a lambda sensor to replace but hopefully a lovely little motor...

Hi guys, been doing a lot of reading about the 182 sport on here but no one seems to mention the difference in grey or black xenon headlight surrounds? I'm going to look at sport later today with apparently both cup packs - front splitter missing from the pics hence the apparently. It looks to...
