Whoever owns it now looks like they never taxed it 😅

12yrs! Amazing! Great videos, have been very helpful, thank you 🙏 Congrats on other priorities first; hope you're doing okay without a fun car to tinker on. What's your budget for the replacement? Will it be a do everything daily or another toy / project car?

An end of an era m8! That's what happened to mine, miss it forever in my heart ❤

How did you get the regulator out with the window down? I'm in this spot of bother and I'm half tempted to just smash it and buy a new one as my regulator needs replacing

An E46 for your next car. I've owned a mint 325i Sport manual with alcantara for 15 years now and it's brilliant. Not sure what to do with it though as I only do a few hundred miles a year and have so many toys including my 182.

Check out a 996.1 Porsche 911. That’s what I moved to after my 172 cup 🤝. Thanks for the memories!

Thank you for all the videos over the last few years, they have helped me out noe end. Remember nothing last's forever. You have made your peace with it and that's the most important thing.

Your videos on the mk2 clio platform have been a big help to me when I had one. Ive just Recent got into a mk3 mr2, very under rated cars and not at all expensive to get into. Cheaper fun cars are the best! Good luck and merry Christmas.

Shame you didn't have a look into the gear issue. Definitely just the linkage, would be a pretty easy fix.

Thank you for the content. Some of the best Clio 182 videos out there. Good luck in your next adventures

Sad day. 😢 I’ll continue to cherish my black 182 in your honour.

Get a Z3

Cheers helpful vids for taking my 182 to bits and turning it into a track car.

Enjoyed your videos brother, enjoy the wedding & other adult stuff ;p. Look forward to seeing a "JW has uploaded a 'new car'" video in the future! all the best

Been watching since my first car, good luck bro

Thank you for all the videos, learnt so much!!

My box did exactly what yours did few months back, couldn't get 1st or 2nd when I stopped after 3hrs on the motorway, disconnected it from the box end and worked the linkage on the box (one with the leaky selector seal) back and forth for an hour or so until it was loose again, replaced the oil, its been fine since thank fook

Sad day! All the best.

Buy a megane 300 for the family car, can do track days now and again also, type r is an amazing car to drive, gotta try it

All good things must come to an end at some point, your videos were greatly helpful when I had my 182, so thank you. I only had mine for just under 4 years, but I was very attached to my little RB, used it as a daily, but in October, a van drove into the back of me and wrote it off. Still not sure if the new owner who bought it at a salvage auction will put it back on the road, despite it being a really great reliable car. I'm now in an RS3 saloon, 2017, stupid quick, more comfortable, modern conveniences, but doesn't quite have the same character as the Clio, despite the lovely sounding engine.

In hindsight - was the turbo conversion a good idea? sad to see it go but hope you keep the old tutorial vids up as they help a lot of people.

Enjoyed many of your videos. Has helped me along with my own 182. All the best whatever you do!

Wish you all the best, I was watching your videos for a really long time, I had 2 Clio 182s and 2 172s in that time, also still got the Jw hoodie haha After the Clio nightmares I bought a Bmw 330d which was just the perfect car for everyday and fun while being super comfy at the same time, recently changed it to a 330e. As much as I loved my Clio/Megane journey I would never go back again after owning a powerful german car.:D Maybe if I would go petrol I would go something sensible like a Celica 2zz-ge again or something absurd like a 370z with the £740 a year tax but those are just ridiculous numbers when the car does 16mpg at the same time as well.:D Cars always a tough decision and each to their own so can't really help you with ideas.:D

All the best mate.

💪

What happens with the horn??

Its a good idea, but I just simply quick set it in place. Simple as that!!!

so what project is going on after the clio?

That tint seems very illegal

Perfect mate, you just fixed my issue 🎉 thank you

JW - We need content, come back!

Looks quite different in my 2013 clio. Does clio 4 even have that hole? Couldn't find it.

2002 clio 1.5dci 5 door 415k km. still running no problem. servicing is so cheap

I found that the wipers were easy to wiggle off. No luck with hammers or wrenches but wiggling was easy.

Next step is to install a Hydrogen On Demand system :) i have installed one in my Clio Mk2 ☺️

Can’t believe you sold this mate very disappointed 😣

In Germany you whoud get a Strafanzeige from a random guy, just because you painted your'e car outside xD Jokes besides, this looks really good!

Saludos desde México, sabes de alguna página o lugar para comprar algunas refacciones o extras para mi clio sport???

Where can we buy that plate???

I wonder if putting a socket over the round plastic ring would keep it together

We found with our Clio mk2, changing the gearbox oil was a major upgrade! It’s vital to choose the exact oil recommended. For thise who like me had no clue, synchromesh is a very clever system, and has two stages of engagement, before the actual gears ever meet: first, a cone-shaped arrangement ‘slow-grips’ its opposite number and this gets the synchromesh itself nearly up to mating speed; then, the synchromesh ‘dogs’ or teeth and slots, get to fit together…then, and only then, the gear wheels themselves can mesh. Put another way - one of the things synchromesh does, is PREVENT you engaging gears when the synchromesh bit has ‘failed’ in some way. So, synchromesh ENABLES gearchanges with the right conditions being met, but also BLOCKS gearchanges where those conditions are not met. This is old news to experienced and knowledgeable mechanics, but actual news to me. All of which explains why your gears graunch, when you’ve properly ducked the clutch and smoothly moved the gear lever correctly. It’s doing you a favour. One of the mechanics suggested we try changing the gearbox oil, and while skeptical it’s only now it’s done, and I realise how synchro actually works, that the reason for oil being critical is obvious. Literally, the oil has to provide just the right behaviour, some slip and some ‘grip’ or friction, in order for the whole synchromesh thing to work well. The gearbox oil was changed before, but 75,000 miles ago. The symptoms of it going wrong, were that COLD, the gearchanges were great, but as the oil warmed, about 15 minutes in, the refusal to enter gears started, like a ‘gate’ was up, then you force it and it grinds…thus, a hard lesson learned…but great, no gearbox refurb required. It’s like night and day with new proper/correct/exactly right oil . I would say, if your car has more than 50,000 miles in the ‘box, the change would be noticeable. It’s,a messy task, so prep for a mess, newspapers/old blanket down, sand and soap afterward, etc. Good luck…incidentally, the wrong oil, especially ‘too modern’ oil in the ‘box, can sort of dissolve the valuable brass cones that begin the synch process, it is seen as making the oil a really golden yellow, when you empty the old stuff out, potentially. So don’t use ‘better’ oil, just use the right exact stuff for your gearbox. Renault really know. My best, the older Clio range is just a great car if you look after them. Our daughter is driving it to work, and it’s older than she is.

This video, i think, has nade my mind up 😅 might get a scorpion instead of milltek

Can hardly hear you

Hey brother i am a vit scared of those v-maxx coils, do u think they are reliable ? Like should be worried about major breakdowns ?

I’ve got a standard one on 20k miles (56 reg)

Water could inter easly when the air flow intake ia too low

According to DVSA this car is still on the road and still has a oil leak 😂

Really enjoyed seeing you working on this over the years. Good job not spraying yourself in the face when painting the rear of the sills..

Meg 3rs, even in standard form its just much better, or an fk2

Noooooo sad day this! Got my MOT on Thursday so I may follow suit lol hopefully not though!
