Yeah I think it's a somewhat grey area still. Plenty of people I believe get away with it.
From the latest MOT manual. To me, it sounds if I remove them they can't be tested or failed?
When I spray them they just dribble and basically clean themselves. They used to work before I reversed the one way valves because I had enough of them ruining my clean bumper. Switched the valves the correct way round and the above happened. Could try new valves or washers. Removing them is easiest though.
Can't seem to find anything on google about them failing when not present. Fingers crossed!

Actually I do need to fix my headlight washers too, Bought a new pump from car parts 4 less for about £6 a couple months ago. Changed the windscreen one recently and it's not a difficult or long job to do, just a bit fiddly. Another job for this weekend, hope the weather is decent.
If you have washers that are fitted to the car they MUST work or the car will fail.
However if you remove them for the MOT it will pass.
This is from the girlfriends 182 failing and then passing without an advisory after I removed them and blanked them off.
Yep. If they exist they must work, but if they don't exist thats fine.
Its not a rule designed to allow you to just whip them off to pass, but rather one to get round the fact that washers haven't always been mandatory for HIDs, so not all cars with HIDs have washers.

Well after having the remap on more Megane rs 250 a while now and I'm feeling rather disappointed. It just doesn't have the extreme, neck breaking pull of my modded focus St. I love everything else about the car. The handling is amazing, it's a sexy looking car, I just don't really feel any excitement when putting my foot down.
I think by the end of the year I might end up getting myself a focus rs or an evo.

I forgot to update this thread about the 182. As i said above, my clutch let go at 7k RPM and took the gearbox with it. On closer inspection it looks like its imploded the engine too. I've not taken the head off yet so don't know the extent of the damage, but its safe to say at 7k RPM everything is melted. Spent so much getting the engine to tip top condition over the last year and to have it go this way is disappointing to say the least!
Onwards and upwards, no idea when the car will be back on the road, but the plan is to sell on my ITB's and 438's (providing they are ok) and build a supercharged megane internal F4R over the next year or so. I'm not chasing huge power, but would like to stay at a comfortable and reliable 260-270bhp.

Thought I'd post a pic of my baby.
Clio 200 Full Fat, Projectors + HID Kit, Recaros, Speedlines and recently fitted KW v1 Coilovers.
Mega impressed with the coilovers - slightly stiffer than the non-cup suspension that was fitted to the car originally but feels slightly less stiff than the cup setup.
Just need to decide whether to get a Cup Spoiler or the K-Tec Sprint.

Why not just stick a Megane engine in with the turbo still on it?

Because i don't want a turbo and would prefer to retain the JC5 gearbox for the ratio's
Well it is time for me to sell my inferno FF 
a sad time but I am going to something newer. I have not had a proper look but would I be right in thinking a 182 ff with 12 months mot and 6months tax should be worth over 2k private? Just had new brembo pads and front discs plus a new alternator. It has a few marks but no dents just a scratch on the wing mirror and another near the front splitter.

I do like inferno's, you got any pics of yours?
Is this the one you bought? http://www.fastchip.nl/index.php?pa...category_id=7&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=26
Also when looking for the megane remap it says out of stock?!?!
Yeah thats the one. Standard edition, Megane 3 RS, Module = none.
You will get a remap included as part of the purchase after you connect to your ECU and send Henk the VIN code. I dont know why the seperate listing for remaps are showing out of stock as that listing is for people who purchase 2nd hander RSTuners and now want to use it on their Megane, they would need that (currently out of stock) seperate remap listing.
Hope that makes sense.

It just had me thinking that maybe he doesn't do the Megane remap anymore. I've sent an email mail asking if I buy one, would I be able to use the megane remap.
How does the car feel compared to standard? I haven't noticed a huge change since my remap and it feels slower than me st was.
