I've got access to an industrial 3D printer and I've been making Clio bits on it. Next on my list is a gauge pod, I wondered where people prefer these? I've looked and I can decide between the very top centre of dash where that little rubber mat is, or cut the screen out just below and install...

So I've tried to research this and found nothing conclusive, I'm sure the symptoms will sound familiar to someone. First instance - engine was hot, went to restart and took a couple of seconds longer than normal. This was followed by a very, very, very lumpy idle for about 3 seconds then it...

So, there's some play and I've narrowed it down to be the driver's side inner track rod. After searching and reading all I can find, I am no clearer as to what I need. My car is a 182 with cup pack suspension (full fat). A friend had one that was too short, he said it was from a diesel or...

A question for the more experienced Clio owners on here... I've got a 182 with Brembo OEM pads all round. Everything is bedded and pedal travel doesn't feel too long. Tyres are good and all calipers sliding free and working properly. I can brake hard enough to get the ABS to kick in, but the...

Had a sideways incident with a kerb and the rear wheel is toeing in a fair amount. The hub nut had lost torque and the disc fully broken. It looks like the stub axle is what has bent, does anyone know if that is the known weak point or if the axle itself tends to bend at the same time? It's...

Since the weather has turned colder my 182 doesn't seem to like being at the correct temperature. The needle is usually a little low only rising to horizontal briefly following some "beans". I've used OBD to check what the car thinks the temp is and it is around 78 whereas I seem to remember it...

I've been having lambda lights on and off (when I reset them..) for months. Swapped front to back and it fixed it for a while. But the lights are back complaining P0130 (Pre cat lambda). It's been running fine and I can see the voltage switching using an OBD adapter. So I think it needs a new...

Last seen in my rear view mirror :P

I just cannot get on with the rainsports, I don't imagine all the hype is for nothing so what am I doing wrong? I've got a pair of 195/45/16 XL on a stock 182. I've got a pair of T1R's about half worn on the other two wheels. I started off with the Uniroyals on the front at around 35psi and...

So I know oil consumption has been heavily discussed but nothing is helping me. It has gone from: To: So around 1L in 2000 miles! Mostly motorway. In total it has used approximately 2.5L in the 6000 miles since last service. So, onto my attempted diagnosis: 0 - Any signs of leaking...

Hi all! I was lubing up bits and bobs (mainly the useless bonnet latch!) and noticed one of my drivers side door hinge pins had unwound itself!! The top one is screwed in from below and was halfway to falling out. Then I noticed that the pins on the passenger side are a pin and clip design...

Took these out and I wondered if they tell any of you guys with experience anything about how my engine is running? I've found some info online about plugs and colour and they don't look too bad. Just wondered how they compare to other Clios. They've done 50k miles. I realise one of the leads...

Went for a stroll with my uncle and saw this parked up halfway across to Roa Island when I returned, I have the same car but parked at the end of the road! Thought someone had managed to move mine down the road!

I am 6ft2 and have had enough of bent up knees when driving my 182. I like having the wheel reasonably close to me (shoulders against the seat, wrists on the top of the wheel) and so to get that I was uncomfortably close to the pedals and very upright. Being so close to the pedals and having an...

So I did a coolant change following some instructions I found on the forum. People say to remove the thermostat to flush the engine block but I found a shortcut. Simply remove the bleed bolt and butt a hose up against the hole! Worked a treat. Good cheat?

I've got another thread going on in the SBW&T area. http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?672331-The-old-air-in-the-brakes-problem-tried-everything! In short I have got air into the brake system when trying to bleed it (I let the reservoir run dry). I have tried everything including...

Hi guys, So I was changing my brake fluid and SLLLUURRRPPPPP the reservoir ran dry... bugger. This was when doing one of the rear corners, I think it was the off side rear. Finished all corners and yep, the pedal went all the way to the floor with the engine running. Bled it again, didn't fix...

Hi guys, I've recently picked up a 182 FF and it is a great little car. There are a couple of issues with it that I'd appreciate some opinions on if you've got a minute. I've looked all over this forum and nothing seems to be solving it. 1 - Rattle The rattle is a mettalicy and sounds like it...
