Hi all I've had the 182 now for 9 and a half years. loved every minute of it. I know the car inside and out and do 95% of the work on it myself - bar belts. I have generally taken it for a paid service when its due just to get the book stamped. I currently have only 1 space left for a service...

I know it's a late reply but just wanted to add my take on this as I did mine today I found that if you take the front passenger side wheel off you can get both hands in, you kind of have to hug the disc brake a bit, but I gave up trying to get it from below. Hopefully this may help someone...

Brake pedal switch possibly I had similar a number of years ago now. Engine off Brake pedal pressed in - hold pressed in Twist and pull brake pedal switch off just above pedal - pull little plunger right out then insert back in release brake pedal. start car and drive off I believe this is...

Well, they went on with no damage/stripped threads etc. Took me about 30 minutes to undo the bottom bolt on 1 side, had to get a longer bar on the ratchet as it was effing tight Plus working on the floor meant I could only turn the bolt about a 1/8 of a turn at a time before taking the long bar...

Awesome. Thankyou I seem to recall a thread with a list of torque setting for the 1*2 but I cant seem to find it

Hi all I'm waiting for a set or rear cup shocks to arrive, but was just wondering if there was a torque setting in nm for how tight the bottom bolt should be? Or is is just a case of 'that feels tight enough' Thanks

I know K tech do a version of that for non 182 models http://www.k-tecracing.com/show_product.asp?id=1724&appid=4

Mine was this, same symptoms. 5 minute job to sort and if it comes on after that, atleast it's ruled one thing out

Why on the date recorded would it have different mileage reading hundreds of miles apart?

Could well be the same. Mine was more of a 'I have actual experience of this exact item' from this seller and I know it works, rather than just finding the cheapest on ebay to prove a point.

I had this problem, people said it was a really expensive part. I bought a brand new one off ebay, it wasn't an official renault part but it was the right part and it took 15 mins to fit. That was about November 2013 The seller I bought mine from below...

When my engine went after a few thousand miles after an aux belt I was fobbed off. Northwest performance did the work, they told me that it wouldn't be them and that I should take it to Renault but if I did it would cost a fortune as Renault would charge loads to strip it down and rebuild. So I...

Why did you buy a 182? Give it some high revs, throw it around, get that rev counter moving man!!

Why would you replace all the pump, alternator, ac compressor? If they are working its just a waste of money. I wouldn't even call it preventative maintenance, just replace whats faulty and save the cash

I believe the oil level 'rises' when the nearside is lower and the level lowers when the drivers side is lower
