£100 Clio 182 Project pt1

[@steveberry1331]

Keep at it Paul, honestly this channel is golden. It has all the ingredients to be a powerhouse on KZbin. I won't miss an episode - just need them algorithms to kick in 👍

[@nathanbaldini8622]

Totally agree with this 👍

[@ODDAutos]

Cheers for the brilliant comment mate, I’ll keep pushing 👍👍

[@mikenewbold1699]

dweeb

[@richardellis5587]

Agree with the above!!

[@benjamindordoigne6213]

the algo is working its magic, just found this cannel and right away I've subbed! Pure gold, love it!

[@JToroPaz]

Absolute hero doing that cam belt without dropping the engine out, most specialists do so and charge you £600 odd for the faff. Finding a 182 even in bad nick for £100 is unheard of too these days, you're lucky to get one for less than £2k running. Get this one up to good shape and you can sell it for £5k as long as the milage is below 100k miles, but once you drive it you wont want to sell it. They're excellent, love mine

[@attilanemes3659]

The way this video is edited is so satisfying! I love how he just takes off the parts like lego bricks, with no bolts taken out.

[@hiibuddiie]

Very common VVT Dephaser Pulley issue. Done quite a lot of these through the years and yes you are correct, they make a lot more noise once the engine warms up. It’s still One of the best engines to ever grace Renault.

[@StephenDMullins]

Yep would love to see a follow up video on the Clio!

[@freddurst2542]

I was shouting "dephaser!" when you were searching for the noise. What a great little video you've produced. Another odd auto subscriber signed up

[@jonathanmarkreed1616]

Love my 182... proper b road blaster

[@markswendell9151]

Love the videos lads, shame they’ve dried up recently. Appreciate it’s a passion of love for some of these cars but get them out in the market place, we all know it’s rare you’ll get all the invested money back but there’s people out there who will give you some good money knowing the detailed builds….plus theres those that want everything for nothing of course.

[@JGV_IX]

Wow! What an awesome transformation and presentation!! Great job 👏🏻 Come on KZbin- let’s get this champ 100k subscribers!

[@garethv1554]

You were a great double act. Been wondering when the next episode was out. Great to see you back!

[@genemorgan6033]

Great to see another 182 put back on the road. A genuinely fun car to drive. You'll certainly make money given the £100. you paid for it.

[@adamengland2519]

Keep it up. That Cleo is a modern classic. Nice one👍🇬🇧

[@pr06ctr]

Great video. Sorry to hear things are hard. Keep at it, hopefully you find your feet on here and can get Keith back.

[@Braveheart7914-idfl]

So no more Kieth ? Sad to here I really like Kieth fantastic body man and painter 🫣😔 really nice guy wish him well 👍🏻

[@ODDAutos]

Me too mate, just the costs of builds and bills are mega at the moment.

[@Itsamemario1ns6666]

Sad to here? 😆

[@keithwhite9992]

@@Itsamemario1ns6666 he also spelt Keith wrong. Twice

[@richardellis5587]

Hear..😂

[@TRIPPLEJAY00]

@K You're having a go at some for bad grammar. Look at yours. Starting with a lower case and not ending with a full stop. You are just a hypocritical idiot.

[@stevenhorne2667]

Keep going Paul, all the hard work you do is worth it pal

[@ODDAutos]

Cheers Steven, appreciate that mate. 👍

[@simonofthepiemansSN]

£100!! Jammy bugger. Nicely done though. A little TLC and all of a sudden you've got a cracking car. Can't wait for the follow up vid.

[@traceurGeorge]

I learned to drive in a black standard 1.2 Clio of the same year. I don’t think I will ever NOT want one of these, early 2000 hatch back styling was great, but Renault really smashed it at this period. The performance Clio and performance megane’s are still some of the coolest looking things on the road (even if they are a little rare now!) Got a sub instantly!

[@aaronklicker1284]

Love the channel Paul, please keep it going, definitely NOT going to unsubscribe. 👍

[@geraldmeli7696]

So sorry to hear that. But pleased you're back. Hope someday will be back to normal 👍

[@oliverattwell8013]

Bro, don’t be disheartened! First video I’ve watched from you and now a sub! That’s rare for me! Keep at it, streamlining the channel is fine! This was top content!

[@chrischapman3907]

Keep going with channel Paul. I really enjoy your videos. Miss kieth. Hope he can make odd guest appearance. You have plenty of support on here so keep going

[@flipm]

This video was the first video I watched on your channel and it definitely wont be the last. Great video, really enjoyed watching it with because it was soo calm without any music or distraction. Keep at it!

[@hosh423]

would love to see more of the clio

[@trevorwoods2580]

Great to have you back even if it's only half the team. Things have gotten so hard for everyone at the moment and things have to change so sorry it's at the cost of Keith not being with you anymore but hopefully things will improve and he will be able to join you again I do wish him and you of course all the best and can't wait for the next video.

[@ODDAutos]

Thanks Trevor, appreciate that mate 👍

[@roxieloot]

Was surprised you did this car in one video. Most YT would drag this out over 10 videos.

[@utilitarian]

Jeez what a transformation! I love the gold wheels 🤩

[@Alexander_l322]

As soon as I heard your description of the noise and heard it I had a good idea that it was the dephayser pulley. Done a lovely job of bringing the car round. The wheels look fantastic! You’ve gained a sub from me

[@SuperRob41]

same on mine

[@adrianrennocks1007]

Top job. The gold wheels with the gold badging look 👌

[@MrTimmsy19]

As soon as I saw the title of the video I knew it would be the dephaser. My 172 was the same, sounded like a new engine after I had it done Subscribed

[@quanchyplimp]

What a little bargain!, great stuff. Solving that rattle from the engine was satisfying, I love it when someone ditches/abandons something when the fix is really quite simple. I have gained many electrical goods down to popped fuses, loose wires or a 30p component on a board that has failed. I've always told the client/the giver, I have fixed it, do you want it back for a small fee?, most if not all, have said, "keep it"....nice.

[@chriscj8950]

KZbin brought me here, 1st video I've ever seen, you've done a great job on production, quality and presenting. I was amazed at how much you threw at the car, would have liked to have seen more investigation before you decided to refurb wheels, cambelt and service, but hey it works. Anyway I've subscribed and will be going back over old videos, will be interesting.

[@neill4133]

Sorry to hear that Keith isn't part of it currently, chatted to him at the NEC and what a lovely bloke. Hope you can carry on and get through the tough times, you deserve every success with it. Keep going mate 👍

[@chppii1075]

Popped up on my recommended very glad I discovered your channel, great vid mate always had a soft spot for 182’s👍🏼

[@fermillo65]

I'm 10 minutes in and I'm hitting subscribe. I like your style. So calm and not show offy as some other channels do these days. Looking forward for the next videos!

[@Triwithalex]

Would really like to see it on the rolling road, always interesting to see how many horses have escaped over the years

[@gleng6812]

Superb End Result, a great looking car has come out so well and what a bargain. Am looking forward to the next video

[@owenstafford67]

This is the first time I have seen the channel. Love it!

[@davidwaldie6227]

Good to see you again, and sorry things have been so tough. Keep going 👍

[@karlhunt3797]

First time I've seen your videos buddy. Really enjoyed it. Bet the bloke you bought it off is kicking himself for writing off a 182 just for a pulley and belt kit. To bring in more revenue why don't you break the rebuilds down into a series of videos? I'd certainly watch. It was very well shot edited and put together. Keep up the good work.

[@simon9548]

100£?! That's crazy. I'd love a 182 but at least I have a regular 1.6 16V

[@nickdkelly]

I’m not really a car person, but I love channels that are well produced like yours! Really interesting to learn new things and presented in an accessible, friendly manner. Keep up the good work mate, you’ve gained a sub.

[@paulriggers1558]

just when we were all having fun, reality kicked in, aww bastards concentrate on keeping a roof over your head mate, make sure we are just a bit fun when things allow cracking job on the 182, i knew it was going to be gold wheels, looks even better than i imagined

[@ODDAutos]

Thanks Paul, I’ll keep plodding on lol 👍

[@greyskulledm]

I used to have a 172 CUP and I loved it, had it for eight years. Raced impreza's, Golf GTI's and even the occasional lambo haha. Cracking little car.

[@scooner8]

What a great flip, keep plugging away fella

[@antj29]

That looks great with the gold wheels. Just looking at one of these as a future classic as last of the old 90’s style hot hatches, had one a few years ago but never blew me away like the 197 did. But that’s the best one in black I’ve seen, good choice on wheel colour

[@Cwissmate]

used to have a 182 when I was younger if I had the funds would be definitely trying to buy this keep it coming bud

[@limpjaffacake]

Absolute bargain there mate! looks mint with those colour wheels on

[@jimmyk2001]

KZbin algorithm has worked a treat here, just earned a like and a sub 👌

[@dazzx10r]

cam dephaser is my bet, I repaired one years ago. Oh and the gearboxes are like chocolate too, bloody good drivers car though.

It goes real well! Feels like driving a go-kart it’s so low to the road 👍

Great video. I’ve just come across this video because I’ve just bought a Clio 172 in a similar, so this has been really helpful. Will be watching part two.

[@Meyersmanx1]

Loved this episode mate Please keep up the great work.

[@safdarrizvi9885]

I knew that noise would be gone after you changed the cam belt roller tensioner pulley.Makes sense to change those components when its been stood so long.I was thinking a flat bronze would look good on the wheels but the gold contrasts nicely with the black.Dont see many of those Clios about.Nice car.Good video.

[@revolution3450]

Just came across this great channel and hopefully many others are noticing too. look forward to seeing this channel grow!

[@alexdeakin4266]

Hi Paul, great to see another episode up. Enjoyed it plenty. Looking forward to the next one.

[@globulas1]

Stumbled accross this channel, and have to say it was a great, informative video. I will be avidly waiting future videos.

[@marksmith762]

I used to own a phase one 172 Clio. Really nice to see this 182 project. The dephaser pulley is a common weak point. I’d recommend Ferodo DS2500 pads all round and Brembo high carbon front discs from K Tec racing. Also fit a Powerflex dogbone bush kit to stop the engine kicking back under hard acceleration and a K Tec engine mounting kit. Michelin Pilot sport 4 tyres are great on these cars. It should give decent power on the rolling road. Probably around 177-179 bhp as it’s a 182. My 172 gave 167 bhp after a remap. They’re huge fun to drive.

[@GoWstingray]

This channel is going to blow up soon the algorithm has found you, Great job likable guy Paul, hope you get a million subs in 2023.

Dephaser pulley is a must for the 2.0L Renault VVT engines - nice job grabbing this 182 for £100 and saving it

They seem to be jumping up in value at the moment, just hope I can get rid of the bird poo stains now to make it shine 👍

[@rayanderson921]

@ODD Autos that's the trouble with black, is it solid paint too? I'm sure you'll get it as good as it can be without a repaint 👍🏻👌🏻

[@ODDAutos]

It’s called black gold, there’s a tint of gold metallic in it when it’s in the sun. Hopefully will polish up mint 👍

[@rayanderson921]

@@ODDAutos ah same colour used on the V6, mint!

[@Fishfire140]

Soon as it started up I though "that's the dephaser" My Clio 172 did exactly the same shortly after buying it. Ended up removing the engine to do the belts and dephaser, and using genuine renault timing tools only come strongly recommended....they run like a bag of spanners if you get the timing even a bit out. Enjoyed watching this

[@Bradley220886]

First time watching one of your videos. Keep up the great work. I used to have a car just like this and changed the engine on my driveway because the cambelt snapped. I know your pain. 👍

[@TheBlaert]

Classic hot hatches have soared in value in recent times. That's well worth a complete restoration

[@russhopkins724]

What an absolute bargain! Cam belts and dephaser are a pig of a job! Car looks great!

Back in the day I had a Clio 172 cup. It had a performance exhaust and aftermarket air filter and one thing I remember about it was it sounded a bit like a diesel strangely. It was a really fun car to drive in the dry, in the wet it was dangerous lol.

[@HardyTempestsWildCampsandWalks]

Loved my 182, looking forward to seeing what’s at the wheels.

[@THEUCCTV]

Stellar work my friend.

[@olliewebbuk]

Nice video. Have a soft spot for these having owned a few back in the day. First thing I said when I heared the rattle was 'do the cambelt and dephaser'. They're surprisingly bomb proof these cars - I would know, I've tried to kill enough of them. The last one I had I sold far too cheap and for what I go for it, should've just stuck in my parents garage for future me to revive.

[@Darsat-12]

Was such a great and motivating video!! Keep it up

[@mclouj]

As a 182 owner, that looks absolutely incredible with the gold wheels well done. Keen to see what it makes on the dyno too. Can't believe you snapped that up for a hundy, absolute steal.

[@callumtart1386]

Loved this! Makes me want a 182 as well as my 197. Thank you for this and covering everything off in one episode rather than dragging out like some creators do! Will definitely be back for more.
