    My new trophy

    On reflection, maybe not, but it is pleasant to touch & use again, despite it`s 19 years age & 158k mileage. When purchased at 90k, it was described as steering wheel melt. More like track day pickup.

    My new trophy

    Looking at the original 182 Trophy sales brochure, the stitching was a colour match to the wheel ? https://www.dropbox.com/s/a06qmon9u9ksalt/R.S.%20Clio%20182%20Trophy%20Brochure.pdf?dl=0

    My new trophy

    I used a non scratch polymer based pad that had a bit of use, not a metal scourer. I`ll post a pic of the result tomorrow.

    My new trophy

    There's 15 years of crud & sweat built up on that steering wheel rim. If you spend an hour with a washing up sponge scourer, some multi purpose surface cleaner & 6 buckets of water, it will regain its original finish.

    As an update, I ordered one of these, it is the genuine DAUPHINOISE THOMSON thermostat boxed in OE packaging. The downside is that delivery took 22 days, 20 of which were spent in a container at sea and/or awaiting customs clearance. I left the following feedback "Excellent price & product...

    Front brakes

    The left front is linked to the right rear caliper, and vice versa. If I remember correctly, the front port of the master cylinder links to the rear port of the ABS pump on the 182. Maybe these parts diagrams may help. Rear Brake calipers | Renault Clio II Clio II 09 2005 | Parts Catalogs |...

    Tyre choice

    Hi Nick. As I have no personal experience of either of these tyres, I am reluctant to make any recommendation. On paper, the Hankook has a stiffer sidewall ( 87W ) & a better wet grip rating ( A ), so maybe a full set of these? Both are quality tyres, so I would consider running them...

    Cambs/Beds Spare wheel

    I have a couple of 16 inch 172 wheels with 48.5 offset , with legal rainsport 3`s you are welcome to borrow.. Probably best to fit the pair so some eagle eyed tester does not fail the car for having different offsets on the same axle. I`m in Luton.

    Re: Handling

    The MOT should have picked up any play in the rack, it`s mounting bushes, TRE`s, inner tie rods or the column itself. Also the bottom ball joints, wheel bearings and rear beam bushes, so it looks that way. Perhaps give these guys a call, as they seem to know their stuff, and their charges look...

    Re: Handling

    1.Although not recorded, the specified range of the front caster on that print out ( December 2020 ) does not match the 3 degrees a 182 should have. Were they using the wrong cars settings? 2. Putting the car in for an MOT is a cost effective way to diagnose any defects.

    Re: Handling

    That looks fine to me. Due to a verbal misunderstanding , I ended up with a total -0.08 toe, but it is totally stable. Did the front wheels get swapped over left to right?

    Don`t think they could wipe their own arse, or a change a flat tyre without help. But they all have a deposit on a Yaris GR.

    So you are saying that the entrant is https://www.webuyanycar.com/ who obviously bought it well under book? If so, I hope they get their fingers burned. They value my 172 at less than the cost of the oil change & rear OE rear discs I recently replaced.
