Probably could if it was just the seal but the end cap on mine went porous and was seeping oil 🤦‍♂️

Wasn't that bad a job to do once started. I done it by the following.... Battery and air filter out Jack up passenger side Wheel off Drain gearbox oil Support gearbox with jack and wood Remove lower gearbox mount on subframe Undid 18mm nut on top gearbox mount, left on a couple threads Lowered...

Update... It looks to have the wrong MAP sensor fitted. Will confirm wiring is OK but looks like a sensor needed

Been having a running issue at times with my 182 and wondering if anyones had the same? MAP sensors Went out to the car last night and got some live data readings. The code only stated MAP sensor so ran that alongside coolant temp etc. All temps as expected but the MAP sensor reading is off...

Hi folks. Having some annoying issues with my 182. Usually starts fine but the past couple times it's taken a bit longer but it has started. Once started it idles OK but very hesitant to take any throttle. Drive off and its spluttery until about half way on temp gauge. Once it hits that it's...

Got spare ready to go back In 👍

Cheers. So just battery out, undo big nut so box drops a bit? Only looks to need a ball hair more space to get it out too

Can the end cap/5th gear cover be replaced on a 182 gearbox with everything in place? Or do I have to drop subframe etc?? Cheers

Cheers folks. Going to make a start on it next week so shall see how it turns out lol

Has anyone cut away part of the rear bumper on a 182 before?? It's a track toy I'm building and running a single exit exhaust. Was looking to chop away part of the rear bumper......if anyone has done it have you fitted a diffuser or similar or just left as is? Cheers

Hi folks, Bit of a long shot here but does anyone in the Aberdeen area have a spare set of wheels for a 182 I could "hire"?? Wanting my wheels powder coated and don't really want to buy another set for the sake of a couple days. I will pay anyone who can help!! Cheer

Cheers folks :)

Anyone??

Crazy thread revival.....hopefully you still use the forum or someone else can help.......were the panels for the rear windows custom made or can you buy them??

Hi folks, Apart from the obvious bumper cut outs, can a 172 exhaust from the cat back go onto a 182 I.e mounting points the same??

It's a 182 with air con etc. can't seem to find anything local so just biting the bullet and I'll do it myself lol

As title really... I have an aux belt kit to be fitted, don't fancy doing it at the roadside. Any recommendations for garages in Aberdeen/shire?? Cheers

I was tempted by this if it was still last years regulations. Think the new ones would put me in Class D but not competitively. I'd also need to alter the car further, which I don't want to do as it's a road toy too. Normal hot hatch days for me next year I think

Got to love these cars and there issues!! Drove a couple mile to the shops last night, no problem. Started car at the shop and it decides it wants to be a 3 cylinder 182!! Quick RSTuner diagnostic and it showed an injector fault. Luckily I could source one local today, half an hour after work...

Another wee update... Still have a whine from belt side, no definitive answers so looks like I'll have to just start replacing components :( On the plus side.....I have parts on route to fit an open filter for some induction noise......and out the back end I've stuck the RSTuner pops and bangs...

Is there a way to set them? I thought it was just a spring tensioner?

It's more a bearing sort of noise than a PAS pump, steering doesn't affect the noise at all

Hi folks. I have had a read through similar threads but they never seem to mention if it has been fixed. Basically my 182 has a whine from the belt side, noise increase with revs at idle and under load. Alternator is brand new so isn't that. A lot of mentions point towards the aux belt idler...

I stay over in Torry. Have a silver track prepped 182 :). Yourself?

Well that's just over 2 weeks into ownership and apart from the alternator issue I'm loving the car. Previous 2 cars were a 300ish bhp Focus ST and an e46 m3 so I was worried I'd be underwhelmed with the Clio but I'm just not :). It's never going to break any speed records but it puts a smile...

Just part of the joys of cars......bug my happiness when they don't work but find a decent B road and all faith is restored haha!!

Cheers folks. Testing my patience already lol, lasted 2 days before breaking down. New alternator fitted and it's alive again. Slight whine from the pulley area so looks like it'll be aux belt and cambelt service sooner rather than later!!

Aye I've been round Knockhill many a time, usually passenger but have taken mates cars out before and love it. Itching to get the Clio down but that will be weather dependant at this time of year

Cheers :). Plans so far are: Pure Motorsport gear shift kit Whiteline rear ARB Get another set of wheels for either road or track use Few cosmetic bits too And basically just keep it well maintained

I'm in Aberdeen :)
