So I'm planning on replacing all the engine / gearbox mounts as my car is nearly on 70k now. I'm currently thinking of replacing the DogBone mount with PowerFlex, but replacing the other three mounts all with brand new OEM. Does anyone have this combination? Or anyone else have any thoughts...

Has anyone found a fix for using LEDs in the interior lights? Other than ditching the LED and going back to a normal bulb! I guess it needs a resistor or a specially designed bulb? For those that haven’t tried, there’s a problem when you replace the interior courtesy light with an LED bulb...

What's the best replacement Xenon bulbs? For the standard HID Xenon headlights that are factory fitted to a 182… D2S is the bulb size I think. I'd read good things on other forums about the Osram Xenarc Cool Blue Intense (if you could stomach the cost of them being £140 a pair :mad:), but I...

Over in the LED Lights thread, there's a list of seven bulbs for the number plate light. The car only needs one, but I want the 'best' one :rasp: rather than to just choose one of them randomly. Has anyone got one of the seven mentioned? Or bought another bulb and can recommend it? I took...

Hi, I have got the Cabasse Auditorium Tuner List head unit in my 182, and would like to get an Aux/iPod input working. I do not have a CD Changer fitted. I have done some searching, and the results are either for a "Connects2" or a "Tunepoint". What's the differences between the Connects2...

Hi everyone, As the title says, I've got Cooksport springs on Cup suspension and am looking to hit buy on some rear spacers. The car is running on the standard 205/45/16 tyres. I've done a bit of reading, but most stuff seems to be about other springs (Eibach etc.) rather than Cooksports...

Thought this morning that I'd take a couple of photos whilst the results of the weekend wash can still be seen. Photos were taken at 11AM this morning - fog didn't lift all day and was properly thick first thing!

I've noticed that sometimes my cruise control switch won't turn on. It's the rocker switch down on the panel by the ESP button. Sometimes it works fine, but sometimes when you press it on it just bounces straight back to the central position. If I press and hold the button in, cruise control...

Thought it was looking vaguely clean in the car park, so took a couple of snaps. Recent changes are Cooksport Springs, Full Suspension Refresh by Dan@SJM, front spacers, and Brembo 4pots with 300mm discs from Pure Motorsport. Will post proper thoughts on the changes once they've got...

Looking for a small hand-held fire extinguisher to keep in the car. Hope to never use it, and would be more likely used to escape from the cabin rather than do any actual fire fighting - if the thing is well on it's way to a fiery inferno I'm not going to be opening the bonnet up to take a...

I thought I understood spacers, but now looking around I'm confused again :S :dapprove:. I know that above 15mm you're best using bolt-to-hub spacers, but as I'm looking below that it will be bolt-through with longer bolts (or studs) for me. Probably looking at 10mm. Dan@M.A.D. and FK spacers...

I'm looking into wheel stud conversion kits. Top two round here seem to be the Pure Motorsport kit and the K-Tec kit (available in two lengths). Both kits look pretty similar to me, apart from PMS using an allen key to fit the studs, and K-Tec studs being M12x1.5mm stepping-down to M12x1.25mm...

To save me measuring, I wonder if anyone here knows... For a specific brake setup I've been told that the 16" five spoke 172 wheels need 10mm wheel spacers. What would the 16” 8-spoke Anthracite wheels from a 182 Cup-pack would need? I'm going to guess they'd be pretty much the same... Oh and...

Ignoring all the threads about "Standard callipers are fine", "Wilwoods bend", "I wish I could afford APs"... lets just say you've got 4pots and they're AP/Brembo/Compbrake/HiSpec/Wilwood/whatever. I've seen comments a few times about pedal travel being rubbish & needing different master...

Sorry, probably not the first time this has been asked, but I'm finding conflicting answers! So I know that 172 gearboxes use the circlip whereas 182 gearboxes have the diff bolted, and that the phase 1 172 and the 172 cup have a speed sensor integrated into the box, whereas the 182 the speedo...

Currently I've got genuine Renault Trophy/V6 boot struts... but unfortunately as they're 12 years old they're going soft so struggle to hold it open and I've had the boot gently come down on me whilst loading before! I asked Wests Renault for a quote, but unfortunately they want £206.26 each...

Red V6 at Shell Gillette Corner yesterday evening.

So there's eleventy million different exhausts available for the 182, but I was looking for a definitive list of them noise wise. IMHO for a road car there's two noises you care about, drone at 80MPH cruising on the motorway (which is bad), and 2. rasp when revving it (if you don't like that...

Silver 182 in the middle lane doing about 80 on the M4 westbound tonight (Thursday) around 8:45pm. Was in between J8 and J9 IIRC. I was the black 182 overtaking you :).

No I'm not female :p. And yes I can park the 182 perfectly fine. Now that's out of the way... I did find the other day that I nearly forgot that it doesn't have sensors though, because all our other cars have them I guess I kinda got used to them! Has anyone ever retrofitted them to a Clio...

So some of my tyres need replacing, and of-course I'm going to be keeping all four the same brand/model. The one tyre with by far the most tread (5mm and consequently staying!) is an 87W Extra Load, however I understand that the standard tyres they came out the factory with were 83V and that's...

11:50 this morning: Trophy ahead of me in the queue for pump #6 at Shell Downend Bristol. I was just getting my weekly fill of V-Power, but it was way busier than normal... people panic buying I guess :rolleyes:.

Hi guys, For a 2004 '54' plate 182 (Mk2 Ph2), what is the make & model of the fuel injectors? And for bonus points, where is best to buy one? Cheers,

So I've got a misfire, and I have reason to believe the cause is dodgy fuel. I'm brimming the tank with good fuel every day (managed to get 7.5 litres in this morning) to try and dilute the bad fuel, and just driving through the misfire hoping that once the good fuel has diluted the bad enough...

My windscreen washer pump is naff, only a trickle comes out. On saturday after copious amounts of swearing at the wipers I took the bottle out and as the two pumps are the same I swapped the pumps over - putting the naff pump onto doing the headlights and the good pump onto doing the...

Liquid Yellow 182 in staff car park at UWE Bristol today. Looked good :), bullets on it make me think it might be someone on here...

Today when driving I had the ESP + Service lights come on. I had it happen on both the outbound & return journey, and both times I was not on the brakes (going up-hill outbound, and on the motorway on the way home - wasn't using Cruise Control though). So when I got home I plugged in RSTuner...

Hi all, I’ve got an intermittent issue, and in fact the previous owner warned me about it when I was buying the car and said that they’d failed to get it fixed and simply put up with it! Unfortunately I am not the type who can just ignore a problem, now I know it’s there I have to get it fixed...

Does any know the Renault part number for the 182 Cup Wheels? The ones that the 182 Cup / Cup packed 182s had (Anthracite 16” 8 Spoke). Want to make sure that Renault don’t sell me the silver ones or ones with the wrong offset! And out of interest, how much do they charge for them?

Hi guys, Does anyone have any recommendations for Paintless Dent Removal round this way? I’ve got an annoying ding in my passenger door that I want to get sorted but there’s soo many companies doing PDR these days (and some of them are franchises where it’s all down to whether your local bloke...
