Hi,
On the way to MOT the O/S anti roll bar bracket that attaches to the wishbone broke.
I ordered one from Renault who then advised me that it has been discontinued for UK supply but still available in France.
I rang Renault UK and explained that I require this part and if there was...
Your right. I think you can put a 172 breather plate onto a 182 engine but not the other way round. I could be wrong though.
Maybe OP can enlighten us to this continuity error [emoji23]
EDIT - 182 engine pic is from the car he got parts off

Checked the wires on the stalk and they are fine.
Does anyone know what relay is for the fogs? There is quite a few in the passenger footwell at the UCH.
Hi,
My front fog lights no longer work. I have checked a few threads already on here but none are conclusive.
I have checked to make sure all wiring is plugged in and bulbs aren’t blown. Fuse isn’t blown either.
The rear fog works fine. When I turn the switch for the front fogs (headlights...
Hi,
I’ve a problem with my passenger side headlight adjuster. When the headlights are on, the adjuster makes noise every 5-10 seconds. Sometimes it doesn’t make noise but most times it does. I thought it was the classic broken adjuster but it’s not broken.
The arm on the level switch on the...
P0134 is precat lambda sensor, so this will affect fuelling.
P0200 is injector circuit malfunction... is the black box will covering the ECU connector and the back of the rocker cover? If so this can/will chaff the wiring at the plug and cause all sorts of faults.
A little update -
When I got the car I ordered a lot of stuff from my local Renault dealer. One item I ordered was a new number plate light. It was listed as no stock and no delivery date but not NLA. Last week it finally arrived to my surprise.
Old light
New light fitted
I removed my...
Bit of an update on the RB
I replaced the seal on the bottom of the inlet as the last time I removed the inlet, this seemed to be letting a little oil onto that area below the inlet.
The steering wheel in my car was in very bad condition. Melted and mouldy from sitting before I got the...
The missus upgraded from the iPhone X to the XS max. So I paid the £400 they were looking to keep the X instead of handing it back. This is my second time with an iPhone X. I got it when it came out and returned it after 3 days because it just was not worth £1000. The Face ID was and is a bit of...
I prefer stock android over skinned android. I'm still using an iPhone 6s but its only for the love of my apple watch that I haven't moved to android.
Really like the P20 pro camera. Mate has one but I hate EMUI.
The new One plus 6T looks good.
Is there a capacitor on the circuit board? I think there is. Been a while since I had one apart.
If so check it isn’t swollen.

At least it starts the car. That’s good.
The battery possibly shorted in the wash and is goosed.
Maybe worth replacing the battery. Did you split the key and inspect the circuit board?
Edit - just seen you had it apart.

You won’t mess anything up. If it rejects the key it just won’t start.
Maybe dry it out without the battery in the key.

That’s nasty!!
Good point, that tray is pretty big too.
At this stage I probably won’t bother removing the rod and piston until I decide to rebuild it. If I do.
I notice previous owner information is no longer on the tax book. Fella I bought the car off bought the car in this state with the...
Yes so that probably rules out piston failure as that would be evident in the oil.
What you mean seat of the plug hole? The top of the hole that you see peering down from the top the head?

Yes fair point.
What else can it be though, given that the valves and their seats are still in place? Ring land failure would leave the bore scored and would bits of piston even get past the rings?
I drained the oil and I don’t remember seeing metallic parts in it.

Yes. Cat is still in the car. I actually looked in the cat briefly from the back yesterday when I had the mid pipe off. Didn’t see anything untoward.

All original apart from the spoiler would be nice also I think. These are very nice in stock OE form.
How many mm spacing is that?
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
A helicoil failing and dropping into the cylinder sounds plausible for sure. Thinking about it, if the plug was hit hard enough to destroy threads, the piston would be holed and potentially a bent rod and by this stage a spun bearing as a result.
This engine would definitely run again with a...
I may be controversial here but I think OE side indicators would finish it off nicely!
Do you have any rubbing issues with the wheels being so spaced out?
A bit of an update.
After washing below the car and rust inhibiting the rear of the fuel cap area, I then undersealed here and the whole rear of the car.
This is only after two days of driving since undersealing it and look at the dirt build up! I used new nut and bolts to secure the flap and...
