I changed the drivers side door check strap yesterday.
It definitely looks different to the original one, but it works. No more clunking of the door when I open and close it 😁👍
One thing I have noticed with this check strap is, the door opens way more than with the original.
I'd say most people order brake pads online.
So checking the backing plates would be impossible,unless you ask the seller for that information or better still send a picture of the backing plate 🤔
Have a look on Autodoc. It says that they ship to South Africa. They sell TRW pads for a 182.

I've been using trw pads on my 182 for years, just for fast road and I rate them highly.
I really don't get why people rave about Mintes M1144s. I didn't rate them for stopping and they squealed like a pig slowly down for traffic lights.
I have these exact cables fitted to my 182 and they're spot on 👍
It seems there quite a few variants for aftermarket handbrake cables and some are a got too long and some a bit too short.
I was on holiday at the time so couldn't check what I had at home.
These are genuine Renault 182 front and rear cup shocks that I bought from RPD a few weeks ago.
I couldn't see any indication that they're made by Monroe.
All 4 boxes say they're made in Spain.
Maybe Renault had more than one...
