Re: ABS, ESP and Service dash lights on ... speedo and cruise work fine, no fault cod Sounds like a deal :D It is a cheap reader but has worked well on my car and others, it read an emissions fault from my lambda sensor previously but nothing for this ABS fault has come up :S hmmm. I will...

Re: ABS, ESP and Service dash lights on ... speedo and cruise work fine, no fault cod Thanks for your reply man, Where is that sensor located and how could I check it? Like I said I had no fault codes come up :( Cheers, Donut.

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone might be able to suggest a solution to a problem I've got with my 182. The ABS, ESP and service lights are permanently on and my ABS and ESP do not appear to work. I have adjusted and replaced the brake pedal switch and I have also run a fault code check...

Alright Gents, Quick question, blown the seal on the rear right shock on my non cup 182 and need to replace them. It's fitted with Eibach Sportlines at the moment and I'm wondering if there would be any benefits to fitting rear cup shocks over the standard items? The eventual aim is to...

Yeah, I imagine they're the countersunk screws or something. However I've always had good experiences of them for parts for my old panzer-wagons and also for the 182, they do tend to have muppets on the phones but generally I've found them pretty good. Certainly better than some of the...

I know you get what you pay for and all that but there are some ridiculously cheap front discs on euro car parts' website at the moment for a 2005 182. £3.56 per disk??

YO

There was a chap on ebay selling loads of abs rings for various cars, he seemed to know his stuff when quoting me on a pair. They were £9.99 each. I heated my old rings up and gently knocked them off the old discs and then refitted them to the new discs whilst still warm. Easy peasy.

I'm running 195's now and I haven't really noticed any difference other than slightly lighter steering at low/parking speeds and the cost. Highly recommended if you're on a budget like me. The car looked better on 205 pe2's mind you, plus the alloys were better protected.

Good info Stava, Looks like ultraleggera's would be a good idea then :) Cheers bud, Donut.

I'm looking to get a new exhaust soon and after a bit of searching and reading up I have set my sights on the scorpion system. Decent price, reasonable quality and looks reasonably standard (and according to various owners isn't too loud) Changing a decat at mot time is about a twenty minute...

Ahhhh. Very good Murcod, grade A snooping there sunshine. Could be a worthwhile upgrade if i'm getting coilys then. Laters, Donut.

Yeah, surely it must be quite an expense to renault to do it in the first place, why? What else is different? brakes, calipers? wishbones? TRE's? Laters, Donut.

Mmmmmm. It still begs the question why Renault would go to the trouble. What else is different in the front suspension and steering or is it all the same? I'm just slightly bemused by it all. Cheers, Donut.
