I'd be interested to hear any solutions to this one, I'm suffering with a similar problem mate. Even within one journey the response of the car varies so much! Sometimes the engine seems to sound more rough too don't know whether this is something you have noticed? Mine seems to feel lacking in...

I am also having very similar starting problems Shabba anyone any ideas what it could be?? I've heard TDC sensor mentioned a few times but I'm still not sure.

Got a small dent in the door of my 182 a while back from my bloody works car park!! Had it removed from a company called dentman in St Helens on recommendation from a few people on here. Absolutely brilliant job and took 5 mins. You'd never know it had ever been dented.

I have got remaining warranty but to be honest I've not had a good time with Renault in the past and i'd sooner put it in with a specialist and pay for peace of mind that its sorted out properly. My car came out damaged after it went in for an o2 sensor change:mad: I've tried the key tip Dan...

Any ideas on the starting issues, could this have anything to do with the o2 sensor or is this likely to be something else?

No lights Brian but I have had the o2 sensor replced by Renault 2 months ago. Emissions light came on and this was diagnosed as the fault and replaced. No problem since. Could this be fitted incorrectly and part of the problem?

Hi guys, I've started to accumulate a few problems with my 182 and was wondering if anyone could offer some advice as to what is wrong. 1) Every so often car refuses to start first time and this is only ever in the morning. It doesn't do this every day but ALWAYS starts second time round...

I'd give P21s a vote too. Certainly for the price bracket its in!! Works well on my RB 182.

Would the existing standard filter I have be causing me a loss in performance with it not ever being changed? Just ordered an ITG from 2modified.com.

Cheers for the help guys. Will I notice any difference in the car if I change to the ITG?

It seems Renault are up to the usual tricks and don't even no what is replaced in the service then!! Service document I have clearly shows the air filter was not changed. Jokers. Can the top of the airbox be taken off easily, I don't need to disconnect anything first?

Should it have been replaced in the first service though? How often should a standard Renault filter last how often should it be replaced? Cheers

My 182 (05 plate) still has the original Renault panel filter in the airbox and I'm wondering if I should replace this with an ITG panel filter? The car has had one service on 12000 miles when I bought it but the filter was not replaced, should it have been changed on the first service? I'm...

I also know that car park well, work not far from it. I would have pissed myself if I saw that though!!:);)

Thankfully not John after your comments on his driving abilities!!;) Don't go by Dovecot much so haven't seen the black 182.

John I'll keep an eye out for you mate, still not seen you out and about and i'm only round the corner from you if I remember correctly!! I go to St Helens daily too for work so I must bump into you one day!! Car lookin sweet mate Alan

Ok to use the SRP after the poorboys or menzerna combo Rich? I know the gloss will have been achieved before applying SRP but is it required for bonding to the EGP????

So maybe using the poorboys SSR 2 / menzerna final polish followed by poorboys SSR 1/menzerna final finish followed by AG SRP simply to get the bond for the EGP?? Will I have gained substantially more depth and gloss using the poorboys SSR 1/menzerna final finish before SRP? How does the...

Has there been any dates set yet on this new machine? When you say trickier to use Rich how do you mean? Any product that gives a nicer finish is always the one to go for but if its really awkward to use may be tempted by the poorboys. I presume your quote of 12 hours there was for paint...

Ok well if I was to go with poorboys SSR 2or final finish on the polishing pad, how good would the SRP be on the finishing pad to achieve a maximum gloss appearence? The reason I'm so keen on using the SRP is because AG EGP is great stuff and I believe it bonds very well to SRP. Therefore i'm...

Rich thanks very much, a list like that was just what I was looking for. Looking at the list I'd probably just go with the Polishing pad and polishes and leave out the cutting pad. Would this remove light swirling or do you really need the light cut for this? Cutting pads raise worries for...

Morning all, Is it safe to use the PC say every 3-6 months with a light cutting pad and polish followed by a finishing pad and polish? I ask this because I'm wondering if gradually the clearcoat will become too thin?? I'm looking to invest in one of these soon (after sorting my 182...

Spotted this at about 8:20 this morning on my way to work? Anyone?

Thanks for all your helpful replies guys. Tried it again this morning and it started first time no problems!! This time though, I turned the key half way, waited a sec, and then started so I'm thinking this could be the old french electrics problem already mentioned. Not sure why its only just...

Owen and Ritch, are you having the problem first thing in the morning, i.e cold start?

Seems I'm not the only one with the problem. I'm not convinced taking it the stealers will solve the problem like you say Ritch they haven't a clue what it is. Reading around at other posts it seems others have had the same problem with Renault and this fault. I will let you know Ritch if I...

My 182 seems to have developed a problem the last couple of days where it won't start 1st time, but this only ever happens first thing in the morning. The car turns over so I'm presuming its not linked in any way to the starter. I can guarantee though that it starts perfectly 2nd time round. I...

Got to admit liquid yellow is another great colour along with racing blue. That photo Amy has just confirmed it for me!! Still go with racing blue though, not that i'm biased!!;)

racing blue here mate and I love it!! For me there is only one colour I'd rather have and that is liquid yellow. Doesn't seem to be in your wishlist though so i'd choose racing blue all the way!!

Tree sap is a pain in the boll**ks, worst enemy in the summer for me that!
