Want a lellow one? Thinking of selling it... brought it as a 'fun' car but stupidly drove a VX220 so want to change again!!! lol

Re: ***How much is my car worth?*** Thinking of selling the LY 182 with both cup packs - tried out a VX220 and am hooked!!! Anyway, what do people think is a reasonable market price? It has under 56k covering less than 1000 miles in the last 4 months. Has both cup packs and is generall in...

Cheers Rob, I'll get under it this weekend and have a proper look. It sounds like a rumble/vibration almost like the engine spluttering, although the power delivery is nice and consistent from the engine, just starts to make a noise - does that sound like what yours did? Only really in 1st as...

Just interested Rob, did you change the driveshafts and did that resolve the rumble? Noticed similar symptoms in the 182. It only does (or it is much more noticeable) in first gear, as you say like a rumble/shaking when you floor it. Drive normally seems fine, put some beans down and it...

Why you only looking for standard? G172 on here does Brembo's for a good price and the rears come with the bearings pressed in ready, and they were cheaper than the main dealer prices. Send him a PM.

Not sure about the minimum width for the discs... What is a "serated disc"??? Just go for standard discs or upgrade to Brembos if you are a road user (G172 on here is the best price I found). I've just changed my brakes to Brembo vented (not drilled or grooved - just solid) High Carbons on...

I changed the fluid on mine on Sunday also using the ezebleed kit. I found (on this forum) that the order was Passenger front, drivers front, passenger rear, drivers rear - so did it in that order. The kit works well for me by myself, but then did the manual way, got the wife to pump the...

Cheers Meek - just heard from the powder coaters, they've now got some Anthracite metallic (non RAL) I think - and it looks ok (only seen this photo). Hopefully it will look ok, but may pop up when I am on a conference at the end of may to have a butchers and decide. Anything will be better...

just hammerite, thought it would look better than what was there... brushed it on and it actually smoothed out nicely, no brush marks etc.

Lol I'll let you know if I sell it...!! After a VX220 or Elise perhaps...

would be interested to know people's mileage on their LY clio's... Mine is currently on 55k. I wanted a lower mileage one, but there was literally two about when I was looking, and the other one with 25k on the clock was sold minutes after putting it up for sale on the net! Had sat nav as well...

Got loads of Pics of the R26 here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/59037264@N05/sets/72157625969464064/ Really miss the R26 - was a great car, but can't justify the costs at the moment. Chopped that and my Vectra in for a new Insignia (diesel!!) for day to day use, and just keeping the clio as a...

Bet you won't be doing that again in a hurry!!:o

Well, took a few pictures a few weeks ago before I decided to get rid of the R26. Here is big bro and little bro together, for the last time...

I did mine this weekend in dark grey, just to tidy them up. With Revels, not big or cool enough to show off on the clio, so keep them subtle...

Thanks Cupman... I finished the last disc yesterday, then changed the fluid to 5.1 as well - the braking performance flew up instantly, before the pads and discs have been bedded in, the difference was immediately noticeable. I think my old fluid was well past its best before date! Used the...

Thanks Pal - I was looking at the RAL colours and they have some metallic ones, but only very few and without a chart its hard to see which one matches the standard anthracite wheel the best. Found a powder coating company that will strip & refit the tyres, shot blast the alloys and repair as...

I have an ITG filter for the 182 - you can have it if you buy me a brand new genuine Renault paper one on exchange, and pay the postage charges... Doubt its been in the car more than a year, put in by previous owner. I just want to put the car back to standard.

As the title suggests. Wanting to powder coat the 182 alloys. Found a place that does the whole job for what seems like a good deal. Wheels are not kerbed, but have been refurbed before and the paint has chipped off and is flaking a bit, so need stripping really. I've round RAL 9007...

Well, this afternoon was a little bored so decided to try and change the brakes on the 182. I have never done brakes before, literally nothing... so was a little aprehensive. I have all the tools so felt pretty confident, and would say I was pretty handy in general, so after reading the forum...

His work in general may be good, but his attitude is far from it. A potential buyer does not know if the goods they order will be to their satisfaction, so you rely on the sellers customer service to put things right in the event you are not happy...

He clearly sells these and (probably use to) make a decent amount doing it. I wonder if he pays tax, or declares this income...? If I didn't get a refund, I would generally cause him hell, starting with a conversation with HMRC... I'm no expert, but...

Had a search, but I can't find anything like what I'm experiencing... Lumpy/jerky acceleration and a bit of a rumbly noise, like it is quiet rocks in a cement mixer!! Doesn’t seem to be there all the time, but is getting more noticeable. Seems to be an intermittent problem, in lower gears when...

I use Autoglym tar remover. Pretty effective in my opinion. Smear it all over the tar, let it work, then rub off. Follow with a clay bar, then autoglym super resin polish to get rid of every last bit. Had a red Vectra and did it every now and then to keep it clean. Believe me they show up a...

Get some Autogylm paint renovator (pink label). It is an abrasive but it will remove any of the other cars paint and help to reduce the scratches. Get some Turtle Wax colour match chip stick to fill in the deep scratches, not a permanent fix but will make it look better as the wax fills in the...

I think mine has a similar problem, although only at very low speeds I notice it (i.e. moving it out the garage and manouvering...) I've got new discs to put on it with new bearings so will soon see if that solves the problem...

Unless you phone at a weekend and you get through to their bangla office :( shocking service then... Admiral Multicar is the way forward - I'm 26yrs old insuring an 05 Clio 182 and 08 Megane R26 - I pay just over £1000 fully comp for both, £150 excess, 5 years NCB, No accidents (well, none...

Lol... probably too much anyway... I doubt that 3rd one is repairable - and even if it was I'd want a new one... not sure I would feel safe driving around on a wheel like that... it must be nice to be that optimistic about things though.
