Hi all, is well sold myself on one of these. Looking to get the PMS one, it's a small amount more and seems to be better quality. (Please correct me if wrong!) I saw that there are 2 versions, 19mm and 22mm. For those that have one, what did you go for and why? Any advice is very welcome!! I...

Hi all! So mine has gone bang and needs replacing. I messaged RPD but they don't seem to sell them anymore. Choices are I can get- 1. A 'refurbed' one (bit of a gamble!) 2. Used one. 3.Or go non OEM. (Don't want to go the route of EPAS) If it's non OEM, what brand is best? There's a lot on...

Hi all! My 182 has recently come up with the 'battery and stop light' warning light. Looking for an alternator. Do I need to go Genuine or will an equivalent from a motor factors do? They're all quite pricey! Where's the best place to buy? Many thanks, Martyn

Hey there. I will apologise firstly for another 'my car is wandering' post! In the last 3 months or so, the steering has become loose and light. The issue is a lot worse at higher speeds i.e. Over 60mph. On anything less than a perfectly flat road, it's all over the place! It's driving me mad...

Hi all, anyone know where you can buy all the bits to refresh the linkage/rod/selector? Mines a bit sloppy! I know that the PMS shifter kit would replace all the bits but that's £270 so alittle expensive! Any help is much appreciated!

Hi all, having more issues with the Clio today! Drove to work today in terrential rain. Went through flooded roads etc. On my drive back, gear selection was acting up. Moving 3rd to fourth was difficult and no longer as smooth. Sometimes it would get stuck/locked and this was solved by double...

Hi all, hope you can help. I've done a lot of searching already in the forum and now quite informed. I have a 182 and drives very well. However idle is awful, really awful!! (never stalls but is very lumpy and the whole car judders) and I am trying to hunt down the culprit. The needle moves...

Hi all, short version of story. My mate put a a new engine (used with low miles) in 10 days ago after mine dropped a valve. New Cambelt kit, dephaser, aux belt and tensioner etc. I've done 300 miles so far and been nursing it about. It starts up perfectly but idle is alittle lumpy. I appreciate...

Hi all, after mine dropped a valve in my 182, I sourced another engine from a low mileage 172. My mate has swapped it over and also fitted new Cambelt kit, aux kit, water pump, new clutch, sparks, gearbox/engine oil change too. (I bought all the parts) How much am I due him for labour? I'm...

My 182 went bang recently after it dropped a valve. Was curious as to what is involved in uprating them. Is it a case just removing the old and in with the new? Is there more to it? I am the 'average diy' mechanic - could I do this? Or is this a job for an engine builder? I will apologise in...

Hi all, engine has gone bang! I recently done the 98 Ron Map. Driven it for 150 miles and then it went. Do you think it is possible the Rs Tuner Map could be the reason? All belts, tensioners etc done in November last year by a specialist. Car has full service history, recent oil change, no...

Hi all. I was travelling from Edinburgh to York, car was driving brilliantly! All of a sudden, whilst doing around 60mph on a dual carriage way, I lost all power. I've been towed to a garage after about 5 hours! Battery is fine, lots of 98 Ron fuel, oil is fine too. I managed to get it to...

Hi all, just picked my 182 and looking to replace the gearbox oil. I know it's 75w80 which is alittle pricier than 75w90 which some of us are running. Just looking to see whether I stick with Elf (OEM) or go with Fuschs, Motol, Castrol etc Has anyone noticed a significant difference?? I...
