    dci Remaps?

    Just wondered if anyone has had one and if they have had any problems afterwards? I'm thinking of getting one from these guys - www.remapscience.co.uk Anyone heard of them, or would you reccommend somewhere else?

    Windscreen wipers not moving but motor ok

    Turned my wipers on this morning and they wouldn't move with the snow on them. I cleared it a bit and they moved once. I then tried again and they wouldn't move although it still sounds like the motor is working fine. If I move them manually they feel quite loose as if the motor isn't...

    Gearbox and/or clutch?

    My wifes car conked out today. Clutch is flat to the floor and it won't go into gear when engine running. It looks like there might be some gearbox oil on the floor underneath. Any ideas how much it'll cost to change just the clutch and how much if the gearbox is knackered too? It's a K12 1.0E...

    Upgrading injectors on dci?

    I'm considering upgrading the turbo/using nitrous on my dci and was wondering if anyone can recommend or can give me some advice on what injectors I can get that will allow me to do this? Or even how much power the injectors in a dci 80 can allow.

    Dci & Nitrous

    Thinking of getting my dci remapped but was wondering if how much nitrous the engine/transmission can take with occasional use of nitrous on top of the remap? I'd hopefully use a progressive wet kit.

    Dci injectors?

    Just wondered if anyone manufactures upgraded injectors for the 82/86 bhp Dci? If not how would I go about getting someone to make them (if possible)and what are the costs?

    Engine swap - clio to micra?

    As the K12 Micra and Renault Clio now share engines (might just be the diesel lumps?), just wondered how easy it would be to transfer a Clio 172/182 or 197 lump in to a Micra? Would it fit? Anyone know?

    Dci turbo and intercooler?

    Just wondered what sort the 80 bhp version has and what sort of boost it runs? What sort of gains can be had and is it worth getting a bigger turbo? Cheers

    Clio dci & Micra dci

    Just test drove a Micra dci as a possible cheap runaround as I do a lot of miles now. Have to say I was very impressed. It was the '25' model and came with loads of goodies and to be honest it was quite nippy. Also, it's only £35 a year to tax and does combined 60mpg. If it's remapped it comes...

    Blue 182 on A177 8/7/08

    I was in the Xsara VTS you had a play with. Nice looking car. Makes me miss my old 182 even more. :(

    Bonnet and door repair?

    I've got a couple of dints and scratches on my bonnet. How much would a body shop charge to fix this? Also, the drivers door looks like someones kicked it although there are no creases in the metal. How much is this likely to cost to fix? Thanks.

    Power loss and age

    I've heard people say that as cars get older they tend to lose power. Why is this and can it be prevented by servicing properly etc?

    Bonnet and door respray

    How much would a 'decent' place charge for doing a door and bonnet? Tried posting this before but it disappeared.

    Been told my cars an import

    I've owned my 182 for about 9 months now and have decided to sell it, but have just found out that it's an import. The Renault dealership I bought it from didn't tell me this, but did an hpi check where they said 'everything was fine'. Have I got any comeback here?

    Part exchange question

    If I want to trade in or part ex my car which is more expensive than the one I want do garages/dealers give cash/cheque back to you? Anyone on here done this before? Or will I have to sell my car privately?

    Will I notice the difference?

    Thinking of getting rid of the 182 to free up some cash and swapping it for a 172 (ideally a 172 cup although normal ones are more numerous and easier to pick up). I've got around £5k max. Will I notice the difference between a 182 and a normal 172? I guess if I get a 172 for about £4K I can...

    Wheel refurb?

    Annoyingly one of my alloys is curbed (never lend your car to the wife :dapprove: ). It's one of the darker 182 alloys (anthracite?). How much will it cost to get refurbished and is there anywhere in the North East that people can reccommend? Cheers

    Basic question.

    Ok, I have a 182 but want to change the standard CD player. If I swap it, will the controls on the steering wheel work on the new one? Cheers

    ktec, scorpion, janspeed, blueflame or milltek for 182?

    I've done a few searches on here but everything is still as clear as mud. Which of the above exhausts is the best for power increase on a 182? Cheers

    182 Turbo's?

    Apart from ktec who does turbo conversions for 182's? Thinking of considering it after my warranty runs out. Also, how reliable are they?

    Clio on 5th Gear

    I'm sure that 5th Gear have put a Clio 182 round their track and I'm sure that it posted a slightly faster time than a Boxster (not the S however). I don't suppose anyone can find the link for it or a table with the times on it as I can't find it, or failing that can confirm my...

    Safe level of nitrous?

    Just wondered what size jets it's safe to use on a standard 182 engine with a wet nitrous kit (probably wizards of nos)?

    Part ex with a car you owe money on.

    Just wondering, if you have a car that you've bought that still owes lots of finance on it (bought from renault using their finance company) can you part ex it in another garage? If so how does it work? Does the garage (not renault) you want to get the second car from just transfer the finance...

    182 cup pack?

    What does the cup pack get you on a 182? Is it Exalto's, darker alloys and suspension upgrade? Could these (exalto's, suspension, alloys) be ordered seperately or is the only way to get these by ordering the cup pack as a whole. Thanks

    How can you tell if a 182 has the cup suspension upgrade?

    Just wondeing as I read a review where it stated that the cup upgrade included the darker alloys? My 182 has the alloys,but when I bought it (used) I didn't think it had had the upgrade. How can you tell? * Yes, I realised I mis-typed the thread title thanks. D'oh!

    Just bought a 182

    Having owned a cammed/remapped vts (which was beginning to go wrong more than I cared for) I decided to trade it in for a silver 05 182. Initial impressions are good. Probably comparable in performance, but 182 pulls better from lower down. Feels much more solid and having all the toys is...
