I haven't had a 182 for years now but stumbled across this video on YouTube - interesting watch for anyone wanting to service their own vehicle.
Enjoy!
Did anyone see this week's article in MCN? Clio 172 vs RS4 125.
Not a great write up of the Clio (although it did beat the bike to 60) as it was referred to as a chavmobile throughout.
I'll upload it later if I get the scanner working.
Saw you in Newbury this evening around 7.15, registration L30 something (I think). I was on my Suzuki SV as you went past.
Who was that tool in the gold Rover 25 up your a**e?
Been playing GT5 for a long time now but finally got Forza after seeing the graphics. Anyone able to recommend a steering wheel? I've been a big fan of the logitech GT wheel for PS3 but not sure of the equivalent for xbox.
Nice looking Iceberg ph1 outside the PO in Baughurst/Tadley this afternoon. Y*** KUP.
Looked fairly clean and standard, although I might have spotted a rear ARB?
This has been bugging me for a bit so decided to post...
The arch gap front and rear seem massively different to one another. AFAIK the springs are all original and the car's just had an MOT and 36k service which didn't spot any broken bits. Is this normal for a 182 without cup packs?
Thinking...
heading down from newbury to portsmouth this evening saw three clios...
trophy heading north on a339 near pamber end
silver ph1 overtook me on basingstoke ring road, very clean
V7 CUP 197/200 heading south into alton
Was heading south out of Reading on the IDR this afternoon, following a convoy of hairdressers d*cking about in convertible Mercs. Was just thinking how massively cool they were when I saw a Trophy heading past on the opposite carriageway. Much better :)
Surpisingly nice looking volvo with a Williams conversion. Not sure if the heavier chassis would undermine the new engine though?

Belong to anyone on here?

Appreciate Renault have their share of rattles (mine has plenty) but recently the rear seats have started rattling badly. The uprights clip in at the top OK but they aren't held back tightly enough somehow. Anyone had this or come up with a fix?
Looking for new fronts and came across this. Am I missing something, or does it seem a bit... pricey??

Black or dark blue (couldn't tell as it was dark) 1*2, looked fairly low. Heading west on the A4 out of Theale near the Aldermaston roundabout, 7.30pm tonight. Anyone on here?
quick question... i'm planning to get a steel spare for the 182. the wheel i've found has a slightly different rolling diameter so it will turn 1.1% faster than standard. is this difference big enough to throw up an ABS error?
also, is a 15" 2002 clio wheel likelt to have the same bolt pattern...
Just digging aroung Google and came across a press release from Renault for the 182 (they seem to call it "team"). Has some interesting background information and detailed specs. Haven't seen it on the forum but apologies if it's a re-post...
Anyone know who this is made by? Or even bought one?

I'm generally a bit of a granddad driver, especially on the pot-holed roads around here. On the way home tonight there was no traffic at all and I just thought I'd remind myself how much I like the Clio - nothing silly, just booted it a bit. When I looked in the rear view mirror there was a LOT...
Just washed my Clio for the first time and grabbed a quick pic on my phone. Got me thinking... my car is 100% standard and I'm not too bothered about modifying it. Am I alone? Anyone else feel the same or is that a little boring??
Sorry for the picture quality - wet hands and a cheap camera...
Plenty of threads kicking about on this topic but none seem to have the same set of symptoms as my '04 182:
Engine light is on (solid, not flickering)
Car starts perfect, first time, every time
Idle a bit lumpy but perhaps not unusal for these cars
If driving from cold, within a few hundred...
Hi all, still quite new to Clio ownership (having sold my ST170) and to this forum, but thought I'd share my epxerience of owning both. I know there are loads of discussions about this all over the web but most seem to be based on manufacturer spec instead of owner experience. Both cars are/were...
