Had a skoda splitter & a very clean looking front end so figured there's a reasonable chance it's been on here at some point in it's life.

Don't normally post in "spotted" but I did see you, just wasn't in a position to wave back. Didn't see much of the car but it looked nice & OEM+

Failed MOT on wheel bearing. Bought 2x OEM rear discs inc. the conical spacers. Tried: * Tap rotate tap rotate tap rotate tap rotate etc * 2x pry bar between disc and hub from opposite sides simultaneously * Butane torch on stub axle/bearing * Slide some 10mm thick steel between disc and...

Virtually all the threads I've found have either failed everything miserably or failed CO by fairly big numbers (10%, not 0.something). I can read the emissions print out and search for similar threads but I'd like to know what failing particular aspects can mean. Anyway, what are the symptoms...

Car failed MOT on emissions. Catalytic converter is the cheapest thing on the list (had new lambda sensors etc) Options so far: * Renault (see this post and LOL) * Cats2u.co.uk £90 ish (anyone used them, will it fall apart or massively reduce power?) * ReactCatalysts.co.uk £160 (anyone used...

At a small roundabout, near M3 J12. Maybe 4pm? Was in an Arctic Blue 182.

B3420. I was in an Arctic Blue 182, you were crossing the road back to your car. You & I both recognised a fellow Clio RS from quite a long way away, you waved & I waved back.

Hi all, Would really appreciate any suggestions, been chasing this rattle for a while. Built up quite a specific list of exactly when it happens. Searched a lot and a checked all the very common bits. Symptoms * ONLY when you're on the throttle (not at a constant RPM or when backing off the...

Blue 172/182, on standard wheels painted white. Two names on the rear window, think one was "Hart?"

Received some arch liners today sold as "172/182" but they look suspiciously different to the ones that came off my car so I'm guessing they're for a non sport. I'd appreciate some confirmation though before I initiate a returns procedure. Arch liner that came off my car: front/rear sections...

Ridiculously silly question this :/ The bulb really doesn't seem to want to come out of the 90 degree shaped electrical connector - is it supposed to or do you have to buy the whole thing like below:

So, earlier today I noticed my bonnet switch all mashed up dangling infront of the rad which (I thought) would explain why I get the long "total closure failed" beep when I try to lock my car (182, manufactured jan '05) Brilliant I thought, I have a spare which came with a new bumper, fit that...

If you've sold anything to CeX recently (via post, not in-store) what was the rough turn around time? With respect, I'm asking how long your order took. I'm more than capable of suggesting "it's christmas" as a possible reason to myself! My order has been received (says Royal Mail & CeX...

As per title. I've had a google and a read of two user manuals, constantantly mentioned but never explained. Thanks in advance.

Reserviour inside a reserviour? The brake fluid & fluid level sensor are inside a roughly 30mm "pot," but what's the purpose of having this inside a bigger reserviour? Is there supposed to be fluid inside both parts or just down the middle? Where are the min & max level indicators...

Not much more to go on unfortunately. Arctic FF 182 Standard everything or: Inferno 182 Cup Appears to have normal 182 steering wheel Thanks in advance.

Just wondered if anyone knew any history behind it/used to own it/see it around etc. Thanks

Anyone successfully using group text messaging on Android? i.e. all replies appear in the same thread so everyone can see everyone's replies etc (like FB group chat or Group MMS on iOS4) I'm open to trying other apps. I'm currently using Go SMS Pro as it claims to do what I want & others on...

Quite literally one of the dullest threads you'll see on CS :p My 182 had this sort of thing (RENAULTsport with straight lines around it): An absolute shed of a 182 I saw the other day had this: Just curious. Are these 1*2 172 sills or something? Thanks.

DDR2 1066MHz 2x1GB or 2x2GB Semi-decent (none of this "valueram" etc) Just wondering if anyone's seen anywhere selling it particularly cheap? (I realise £/GB is s*** on DDR2 these days but it doesn't justify spending £80 on a DDR3 MOBO + DDR3 when current MOBO is fine.)

Just a really simple bit of knowledge that I lack! Always assumed but never known for sure. Is this an ISO/DIN/some-sort-of-standard speaker connector? (awful picture warning!) Are there any particular makes (GM?) which do not use this type of connector (I know renault DO) Thanks

As far as common knowledge is aware, induction kits/open cone filters lead to mass air flow sensors breaking, or at least failing far sooner than what would usually be expected. 1) Why. What is different, as far as a mass air sensor is concerned, about the air that comes through a cone filter...

Would someone who has/who's friends have done it please actually give me some reasons as to: 1) Why sticker your car with brands? 2) Why is it ALWAYS Monster? (you never see Rowntrees or Robinsons, Red Bull or JD) 3) Why does it always seem to get done to Clios? Because as far as I can make...

What's wrong with the original, free, screw-in tow-eye? Do people just do TRS etc straps for looks or do the world's motor racing circuits really not have a hook/anything capable of coping with a standard sized tow-eye? The chance of bending a standard tow-eye beyond use in an accident seems...

So we all know that when you put Trendlines (no airbags) in a Mk2 you need to put a resistor in to cure the light - I was just curious as to what renault do on the Trophy & 182's specced with Trendlines? Is it just a case of clearing their own airbag warning light or do Trophys etc not even...

There seem to be a fair few white 182s cropping up in threads from Romania, Russia, France etc and the odd from the UK. Are these all sprayed white or was it offered as a factory colour on RS Clios in Europe? Were standard clios offered in white? Therefore are all these white 1*2s reshelled...

As in what are the software differences between say a TDF map and an RS Tuner map and a generic map? Purely curious, I have no interest in remapping my car. Plus I don't even have my Clio any more. Generic maps - Just how terrible are these, do they literally just add 2 degrees of advance to...

Ripspeed-esque ST rep. Insane mileage. Incomplete service history. Wrong wheels if we're being picky. Thoroughly confusing asking price. No, it's not actually a Mk5 conversion as claimed (though lol @ the last thread I made r.e. mk 5 astra :o ) http://pistonheads.com/sales/3241958.htm

The medium sized black circular thing underneath the rear bench with wires sticking out? Always wondered, always had two guesses. I hope KLR8 doesn't mind me stealing a pic of his clio for this Q :rasp:

In order to get a decent SQ/volume compromise I'm having to take a little bit out of the treble and have to forget about bass completely. What are my options? * 2 channel amp from ebay + a wiring kit. I assume any old amp, even a £50 halfords one will be better than the 18ish watts RMS the HU...
