I serviced the 182 tonight which is the first time I have actually serviced it myself. It had the major service done last March when it was on 81799, so althought this was now 16 months ago, it has only covered 3519 miles. I will be doing a lot less than this each year now, but will make sure it...

Wolverhampton used to always be the cheapest but dont seem to be anymore.

I know they have a code for free delivery. Everywhere has different prices, its frustrating why there is such a difference. I have found a company called Vospers who were cheaper than renaultparts even with their free deliver for oil and air filter, yet the shocks are cheaper from renaultparts...

Anyone have the correct part number? Is there even a difference or are they all the same? Its a cup packed 182 on a 55 plate. TIA

85k, have ownded since 2008 when it was on 22k. Will only increase a few hundred miles a year now, as i have a diesel daily.

I get your point, but It has had many miles and memories made in it already over the 9 years i have owned it. 1k miles a month commute to then leave stood in a public car park is more of a shame to me.

It has been ages since I updated the thread so thought I would bring it up to date.... Back in October last year I decided to stop using the 182 completely (bought the dci above for daily use) to keep the miles down, as my intention is to never sell it. The past few years I have only been doing...

Cheaper here http://www.renaultpartsdirect.co.uk/product/renault-clio-182-alternator/ I just had mine changed.

I wouldnt know where to start. Is there a guide on here with pictures?

I can buy a new alternator from Renault. They are £180 so thats OK. I just need to find someone who can come and help me fit it. Its still sat on the drive...

Ah i see. Yes, i realised that needed to be disconected to stop the power supply.

What do you mean by shorting worse? Do ypu think the water would have caused any further damage?

I did wonder that but couldnt think of anything else to do. I think disconecting the battery massively helped stop it continuing.

Will it need a full aux kit or just the belt do you know?

Couldnt believe it. If i hadnt got the bucket and hose ready first before I moved the car it would have been up in flames!

I dont know who im going to take it to. Is it a specialist job or will any garage do?

Evening all, The stop and battery light have been on my 182 for a while now. I put a new battery on a couple weeks ago hoping that would be the issue, which it wasnt. I dont use the 182 as a daily anymore so havnt drove it much sine the new battery went on. It has been starting fine without...

Been trying to decide for weeks what machine to buy. The more i read the more i feel confused. I was set on a das21e but have been told now that a das6pro might be the better option!?!? Also how do i pick the pads and compounds etc!?!? Ha I was looking at clean your car as they do kits...

Any of ypu use this machine? I have been recomended to get this over the DAS6 pro and wanted to hear thought from more of you who have used this machine and what your thoughts are? This will be my first machine.

Halfords will not price match. Gorms you are very lucky you got them. I rang and they said every store has had a notification sent saying to NOT to price match. I will post the notification as the guy at Halfords emailed a picture to me.

Its in the garage now getting done. Saves messing around and is only going to work out £10 more expensive than doing it myself.

Thanks mate. Sounds more confusing that I thought.

I need to replace the rear wheel bearing on my dci and know it can be a struggle removing the drum without a tool. I dont know what tool is needed. Can anyone help? My local motor factors have this in. Do you think this will be up to the job? Thanks A

Nice thread Aladin. I will be watching this one... Hope your well mate, and best wishes for Christmas

A great read and view so far. I would love to be able to know how to do that type of work on a car.

I bought a 2004 dci 65 at the end of October and have already done 2k miles. I bought it to keep the miles off my 182. Currently averraging 62ish mpg. Can get 70 if driving very careful and not frequently going into low gears. They do have issues, injectors being the main one. However, from...

Have a look in my progress thread mate. I had a stamp made up for this!

The 182 has been replaced with Dci 65... Due to a change in circumstances and needing to use my own car for work I needed something that would be cost effective. Im travelling 50 miles dail and sometimes more so it isnt practical to use renaultsport for this IMO. I had been looking for weeks...

Take the spoiler off mate! Just done mine tonight and it is silly not to remove it. Also the underneath of mine was filthy and wet in places so i gave it a good clean and recovered the wires in tape.
