I had an accident earlier, completely my fault. Basically pulled out of my work car park, neglected to look right and clipped a passing car. It's torn my front bumper off and done some minor damage to the bonnet. Headlight is scratched. Possibly further damage underneath too but it does still...

I've seen a few threads touching on this but no concrete answers. 195 tyres are a fair bit cheaper than 205... most of the online tyre companies assume that 195 is the correct size for standard 16" wheels on a 182 but the tyres I have currently are 205/45/16 and it seems this may be the...

Hi My 182 is in a garage as it kept giving me the flashing engine light + misfiring etc, especially when idling for any length of time. They tracked this down to a faulty injector, which was replaced with a genuine Renault part today. Apparently this made things slightly better. Now...

Thought I just had tax this month but apparently my MOT runs out towards the end of this month too Only thing is that my Engine management light is on. This isn't an unusual occurrence for my car but it usually goes off after a while. Has stayed on a lot longer than normal though. Whenever...

Anyone else playing this? I signed up as a "Team member" and I'm pretty f**king impressed. Some info on the game: Cars: Tracks Physics aren't quite there yet but graphically.. well, have a look at the screenshots (hope they hot link ok) Loads more info at...

:cool:

Changed my plugs today and one of them had loads of oil over it (leftmost one). Why is this? The rest were clean, see pic I had to wipe it clean before the pic cos there was oil dripping everywhere!

Trying to find the cheapest place for rear discs and pads for my 182 Allen Renault (Northampton) have quoted me £177, genuine parts obviously GSF say £120 with some random discs from a company I've not heard of, with pagid pads. Bearings pressed in already.* Then I've found a fair few...

So what's the damage on a new clutch supplied and fitted?

I've recorded a video of this weird noise I can hear on (hard) acceleration. Not the best video but I did it for the sound, not the picture. Hard to drive with a phone in my hand too - had to find a deserted country road to do it. Can only hear this mystery noise since having my janspeed...

Hate how ruined my car gets after the snow. Everyone else post their dirty cars so i don't feel so bad!

1. Plastidipping everything because you are too poor for real mods 2. Hanging something stupid on your tow bar 3. Sticker bombing 4. Bike racks for "style" 5.Audi DRLs on EVERYTHING 6. Illest sticker or logo 7. "stanced" cars that look stupid and probably handle...

Does anyone have any proof that these actually work and improve power? I can see there being benefits to drivability but the reported '8-15bhp' increase sounds a lot imo. Please prove me wrong. I'll get some next month if so.

Pretty sure it was your car. Turning out of the apartments near the Saints ground in St James. I was driving past too fast to let you out :rasp:

Just a few pics of my car. Standard apart from some Pi springs but I've got a few ideas (matched inlets, remap, exhaust, proper splitter to replace the skoda one, etc) Any ideas on colours for my wheels? Getting bored of black. My mate does wheel refurbs and will do them any colour for me..

So I was driving along and the car started misfiring and flashing the Amber engine management light. From a quick search it seems this will be an ignition or lambda issue. Checked all my leads and they are plugged in. Dunno what else to look at If they can't sort it now where can I take my...

Am I right in thinking that 182's have shock absorbers as well as springs? I think mine may be fucked. The car reacts very badly to any kind of bump in the road and is overly uncomfortable. I'm assuming they're an often overlooked part that can wear over 80k/6 years quite easily and also serve...

Don't think it was Mr Pants! Number plate started with M, can't remember it now as it was like 3.30pm today

Can't seem to get it back in place. There only seems to be one clip at the top, the rest is just the 'leather' stapled to the plastic part and there's nothing to clip into the centre console housing. Any ideas how I can get it to fit properly again? It's pissing me off seeing the light...

Saw a guy with long hair driving one of those really light blue 182's (racing blue???) with white stripes, just off the A45 near Riverside about 1pm today. car looked really nice :cool: Rarely see other 182's around here!

I've currently got standard 16" 182 wheels on my BlackGold 04' Clio 182 and fancy a change for 2 reasons - I'm bored of them and I want 15's for cheaper tyres and allegedly better handling. Criteria for my new wheels: 1. 15" 2. No polished lips or weird colours (black or silver only) 3...

Never ends with this car... I've noticed a complete lack of economy lately. I might as well be driving a turbocharged rice rocket with the amount I spend on petrol. I barely even get a chance to put my foot down lately as the roads have so many cars on them yet I barely get 22mpg on an...

I have (or had) a completely standard radio aerial on my 182. Noticed poor radio reception over the last couple of days but thought nothing of it. Then I went to get some petrol today and as I was filling up, noticed that my aerial has been removed! Firstly, why the f**k would someone steal...

Parked outside super sausage in far cotton today. looked really nice, with cliosport sticker in the rear window

Got this done today. Been meaning to get it done for a while. My mate runs a window tinting/vinyl wrapping company (www.dbtints.co.uk) and wrapped these 2 interior bits for me today in 'carbon', then cut me a renault sport sticker. Crappy iphone pics. It looks much better than...

My engine management light is on. No idea why. I did fill up using BP Ultimate instead of my usual Sainsburies Super unleaded yesterday - could this be the problem? Before I go over to Birmingham and see Fred again I think it'd be a good idea to get the fault checked. Can anyone help? Cheers

I want to sell my Xbox 360 as I barely even play on it any more. No idea how much to sell it for though! Ideally I'd like to sell my TV with it aswell.. Panasonic TX-32LZD80 (32" Viera, 1080p). It's the 60gb Xbox with the HDMI port 2 controllers, 2 play & charge kits HDMI cable Wireless adapter...

It's starting to get a bit ridiculous now! I bought a Black 182 earlier this year as I'd been through a rough time with cancer (all better now!) and was fed up of driving a boring car around. I previously had a Civic VTi and while it was quite nippy it was just boring imo. The Clio is an 04...

I think mine's borked as it smells of burning and my headlights keep randomly turning off. Can get a new one from GSF for about £90 by the looks of it. On a trade basis where I give them the broken one. I understand that to fit it, I'd need to remove the aux belt? Does that mean I'd need...
