@Brit as @Brigsy said run regular Dot4 through it until the pedal's good and then use the Motul at the end. It's a real pain the first time you do it, but I've done it a few times now and I've got it licked.

Great news. The battery was fine to be fair but it's always been lazy turning over on starting - even though the battery is brand new - so I think there may be an earthing issue [common on these 182s] and I'm going to replace the earth cable at some stage.

Yes you need to bleed each wheel in the order they tell you. It's step by step process. RS Tuner is the same.

OK... maybe they've updated it since I last checked in 2024 ?

Yes it won't work. The ABS pump bleed function is not available on anything other than the Renault dealer diag system [CLIP] or RS Tuner, the mapping software. I went and bought RS Tuner to do it. It was a complete pain as I wasted so much time to discover that.

Here's one for you now. The guy from Febi told me not to fit either of the two I have to the car and to return them to the place I bought them. He said that Renault do not make that part separately for the 172/182 and that it has to be bought as a complete wishbone set [as in the Renault Parts...

Massive thanks again here... and you've got Cup front suspension on yours ?

Thanks so much for that... they use the 12mm mounting bolts, right ?

The saga continues... I'm trying to buy the correct one of these and was speaking to somebody at Febi who told me that they don't manufacture them for the Cup suspension... and that Renault don't have a part number for the Cup versions either ??!!?? What manufacturer's parts are you guys using...

Thanks so much for that, makes sense.

Do you mean Cup and non Cup or just all 182s use the larger ones ?

Just a silly question here. I bought a pair of Febi bottom ball joints from two different suppliers on eBay and have been sent different sized versions of the same part... one has slightly larger mounting bolts and holes than the other... even though they're supposedly the same Febi part...

That's great guys... thanks so much.

Thanks so much Louis... I was looking at that a little earlier and then went to the Febi parts finder to discover a plethora of different options for the 182 - with and without PAS. I might shoot Fish Brothers a quick message to see if this is the right one for my cup-pack car.

That makes a lot of sense. When I've had that before on other cars it was generally the strut top. I was getting the car MOTed yesterday and the guy doing it said he though it was the inner or outer ball joint on the track rod... and while it could be that, it's under a lot less load that the...
