Spotted an AB Blue 172 with the number plate K15 CUP on the A12 between Chelmsford and Witham on Friday 11th Jan. you looked over as I went passed you.
Anyone on here?
Well I have got the MOT failure certificate and this is what it says:
Nearside and Offside Front Constant Velocity joint gaiter insecure to the extent that it no longer prevents the ingress of dirt etc
So how much can I expect the repair of these to cost? It is booked in for Tuesday next week...
Thanks guys, so I must expect the worst when I get the quote tonight then.
Why are these cars so damn expensive in repairs. Exhaust went and would have been over £800 if I went for standard.
Starting to get a bit fed up with it tbh.
From what I understand is the CV Joints on both side are loose. That is all I know. I should know a bit more tonight. If it's too expensive of a job then I may just sell as at the moment I do not need the car as rarely drive anyway.
If I am looking at replacing the full CV Joint, as brand new...
Hi Guys, my 182 failed it's MOT today due to the CV Joint on both sides. I am not mechanically minded at all, so have no idea what this means. Can anyone explain what this is, how bad it is and also roughly how much I can expect it to cost to repair.
I have done a search but cannot seem to find...
I was quite surprised about the price, but at least I am safe in the knowledge that the Milltek will be a stainless system and should last. It seemed as though the standard exhaust lasted for the 7.5 years the Cliop has been in existence so not too bad.
Out of interest, anyone know how loud a...
I noticed my exhaust was blowing recently so decided to take it inot the garage to let the professionals have a look. Just got a call from them, and it appears both the Center and Rear sections have eroded and need replacing. What I heard afer that shocked me somewhat and all I can say is...
Spotted a black 182 on the A130 just before the Rettendon turn off on Saturday afternoon, just as the snow started falling heavily. He was going far too quick in the fast lane, tried to slow down and slid across to the slow lane, slamming into a people carrier on his way through.
Don't know if...
Hi Guys, has a look but can't seemt to find anything of significance on this.
Every now and then when I'm driving my service, abs and traction control lights come on. If I turn the engine off and back on again they go out. I find it's usually during this poor weather as had this last year with...
Ok thanks guys, I didn't know if it was the whole arm that needed to come off or just a part of it. Also the link for ebay will they be the same as the 182??
Hi guys, I have done a search and found one thread about this but it doesn't help too much. Basically my boot lid won't stay open when I open it up. I understand I need Gas Struts. But I do not have a clue what these are. I have looked on GSF but don't know which ones I would need.
If anyone...
I have tried having a look on ECP but can't find the part I'm looking for!! Can someone help me out a bit!! I'm quite new to Clio ownership so no nothing about what I need.
Thanks.
I also have this creaking noise!! How much does it cost roughly to get the ball joints replaced including labour costs. Also, where can I get the new ball joints from!!
Sounds as though its a regular thing with Clio's!!
A Silver 172 came past me on the A130 between Howe Green then turned off towards South Woodham Ferrers tonight at about 10.25pm. Seemed to be having a bit of fun on the roundabout in the wet.
Anyone on here??
Hello mate, I'm in South Woodham too!! Where about's are you?? Will keep an eye out for you!! Also how old are you?? Might know you from school if you went to Willy D.
Hi guys and gals,
Just wondering how easy is it to fit an induction kit to a 54 plate 182?? Are there any guides anywhere?? Also if I don't like it how easy is it to put back to standard??
Cheers.
Hi guys just wondering, I put my golf clubs in the back of my 182 at the weekend and folded down the seats. I noticed then when you fold 1 down the side pops up a little bit which basically stops the other seats being folded down as far as they will go. Is this suppose to happen?? And if so why...
I never get spotted! I'm always driving down the A130 as I live in South Woodham Ferrers and my girlfriend is in Chelmsford! I hardly ever see any RS Clios either.
Well guys, whilst I was on holiday my car went in for a service and MOT. Had the cam belt and auxillary belts changed, new platinum spark plugs, oil service, new brake pads, new air filter, all the usual stuff plus the MOT.
Came to £705.35 incl. labour. Think that was a pretty good deal.
