Who's replacing the belts for you?

Sorry. I should have been more specific. It's Dettol liquid antiseptic, as in the photo. Use it neat and leave it to soak for a couple of days and all the rubber coating and paint just comes away from the plastic. You just have to give it a good wash after in clean water, under a tap. From what...

These have been bugging me for years. We all know how bad the rubber coating looks. So I removed it and the paint leaving them to soak in Dettol for a couple of days. I found on a modeling website that's what they use to strip paint without damaging the plastic. A quick rub down with some...

I've never seen anyone use one of these before. It looks like it'll be a pain in the arse to repair. I'd just get a second hand regulator and fit that.

They do this. I had a 172 before this 182 and they both did it. It only clicks under the glove box for the drivers side window, not the passenger side. Don't ask me why lol.

It's easy, just a couple of bolts holding in the regulator. I found it easier if the window is halfway down so you can get your hand on the white clip that pushes through the hole in the bottom of the window.

I fitted a 2nd hand one that I had.

I had something very similar a couple of months ago. It sounded like a metallic scraping noise. One of the brackets that bolts the regulator to the door had snapped off. There are 2 of them,one at the top and one at the bottom. You'll have to take the door card off and see if the regulator is loose.

Sounds like a money pit. £1k max.

I've had these on my 182 for a couple of years now and they've been spot on. https://www.partsinmotion.co.uk/car-parts/braking/handbrake-cables/first-line-hand-brake-cable-fkb3049-detail...

I had my 182s full service done a couple of months ago.I supplied everything. Both genuine Renault belt kits, water pump and gasket, thermostat and gasket,type D coolant, NGK spark plugs, Fuchs titan oil and oil filter. With labour and no VAT I think I paid in total just less than £1100. That...

Cheers 👍 The reason I ask is because I've got the same on my 182. At least now I know it's not the door rusting 😊 Are the seals bonded in or just pushed in? I've never taken one out before.

Is that rust under the rubber door seal the actual door rusting or the metal inside the door seal itself? The demist function on your mirror might just be the heating element on mirror. One of mine failed a few years ago. I got a pattern part mirror off ebay and it's been fine since.

That's what I used and they look like new now 👍

Yeah. That's the correct lambda sensor.
