Looking for some maintenance advice (and exhaust!!!) - 182



  Clio 172 Cup
Before I go ahead, I have directly contacted a few people who I think are up to the job, but would just like to double/triple check on other peoples opinions and advice :D

I am looking for ideas on which exhaust to go for (aftermarket) and whether anyone knows of a 2nd hand one for sale? Maybe after a decat too. I want the end pipes to fill the holes, or at least be bigger than the naff standard ones :eek:
Would prefer full system, dont mind cat back. For now my exhaust is ok, just a rattle from one of the mount things which I will mention below! :)

I want to have the car fully serviced, need to know which oil to use on the car, and which spark plugs, oil filter etc please.

Is there a recommended place to buy all the service useables etc.

Any advice appreciated, just want to get all the bits together for the servicing, drop my car into a garage (or specialist :D if someone can recommend one!) and get it all done. Its due the cambelt soon, may aswell get it done at the same time.
I do have a close relative who I trust with my car to have the servicing done, but would rather have a specialist on these cars do the cambelt, as I know my mechanic has never done one on a 182, so would not want to put that on him for his first 182 cambelt job! I do trust him, just would rather have someone who works on them everyday to do that particular job. For all else my mechanic can probably sort all the usual servicing etc, seems pretty basic from what the car needs doing :)

Is it better for me to buy all the consumables, parts etc, then take it to a garage, or is there a garage or specialist that people use on here, who can supply the parts for a good price (for servicing and the cambelt) :)

A problem I have, is the cat to front pipe mounting thing (the one that looks like a spring, not sure whatever they are called) one has broke, so there is a split in the sealing one side of the pipe (drivers side)
Does anyone know the part number for these bits and are they difficult to fit? Do they come as a complete fitting kit or set? :eek:

Hope ive not confused everyone with my million requests, and if ive repeated myself apologies!!! :dapprove:

Might have some other questions too!!! :eek: :lolup:

CHEERS!

I got the parts you need for your exhaust from renault. Think its about 35 pounds. Comes as a kit you get the lead donut, bolts & springs.

I think I need just that one spring, not the lot! But guess I might have to buy it all :dapprove: :eek:

Near me to :)

I personally for any car servicing etc, take a drive to Portsmouth which is a bit of a Trek but well worth it.

The company i use (As do many who travel hundreds of miles down to them) is Rentec

The car is sometimes kept in Watford, thats why I put that as the location, as I have another car to use too :)

I think I might be sorted as I said in the first few lines of my original post, but good to get a few peeps opinions :D

thanks!!!

any more ideas on aftermarket exhausts? been thinking about a milltek, but not entirely sure. i dont want something too loud, maybe just a note over the OE one, but one that looks a million times better, and obviously one that wont fall apart lol ;) :D

having 2 exhausts poking out the back of a clio is bad enough to get any tw@ts following it :eek: :eek:
