Diamond motors isn't that far away from you. I've travelled a 6 hour round trip a few times to see Mick and it was worth it. https://diamondmotors.co.uk/

I'm agreement with @imprezaworks . With belts done and proof and looking at the condition from the pics £3k . Prices have been on the up lately for some reason.

Like I said earlier . If it was me I'd offer £2200 . If they're desperate to sell they might accept it , or meet you half way at least . If you're planning on keeping it for a long time then it's worth putting a few quid into it like getting the belts done just for peace of mind . It's had a few...

Take a mate with ya cos he'll probably see things you don't or maybe ask questions you don't . But don't take a female cos she'll just like it for the colour :wink:

It's got the cloth interior opposed to the leather / alcantara of a " full fat " 182 . Plus normal headlights not HID's . Also no climate control which isn't a big deal really . Like mossyv6 says . It'll need the belts doing so factor about £600 for that . It does look a nice car though , good...

Looks a very tidy example . Personally I think it's a little strong money considering its the poverty spec 182 , no proof of belts and no mention of having a 2nd key . Offer him £2200 and see what he says . If you don't ask you don't get :tonguewink:

182's are the same as 172's handbrake cables afaik. Only £58.75 http://www.renaultpartsdirect.co.uk/product/renault-clio-182-handbrake-cable-set-rear/ I think there might be a discount code knocking about for free delivery if you have a search

Uniroyal Rainsport 3's

These batteries are as good as you'll get . It'll fit your 172 . 5 year warranty . I have one in my 182 . https://www.tayna.co.uk/Type-076-Varta-Silver-Dynamic-Car-Battery-P3131.html

I wasn't 100% sure if there was a handful of Icebergs . Just checked and you're right . 182's only came in Titanium :up:

Welcome JB It's not " Arctic" , thats blue . It's either Titanium silver or Iceberg silver .

Offer your mate £750 to take it off his hands then get the belts done yourself at Diamond motors . Get Mick to give it the once over to highlight any other issues it might have and you might have yourself a bargain . https://diamondmotors.co.uk/ About 10 quid to fix a puncture if it's...

I left my 182's major belt service until it was 6 years old on 33k miles . I wouldn't start panicking just yet. But I would be planning / saving ( if money is an issue) on getting the belts done in the near future .

How mch is the car ? If you're paying top dollar then get one that's had both belts done . If it's cheap as chips then get the belts done yourself at Diamond motors. I wouldn't say they are a ticking time bomb if it's gone past the scheduled service interval , but that depends on how far past...

Just a quick update for anybody with the same sound / issues. @Darren S It was the drivers side ball joint . Had both sides replaced and it's running like a good un again with " no embarrasing " creaking :smile: A Big Thank you to Andy and Steve @Birchdown :up: Top work as always .

Ahhh sorry. I thought you meant the door pulls with switches. The door handles are black surround with silver handles.

In a 182 they're black/ very dark greyish with metallic flecks in . It's a rubberised coating . Try and post some pics if you can .

I doubt you can buy the handles new now . I suppose you could always ask at your local Renault dealership. Search for " snappy steering wheels " on here . His work is top quality , he retrims them in leather . Yeah underneath the dash trims are silver . Lots of people spray them and colour...

My seat belts were black . I unbolted them on the floor / side . It's a big torx bolt . Then I sprayed them with Autoglym engine and machine cleaner and used a nail brush on them . Then I pushed the seats as far forward as possible and put a bucket of hot water in each passenger footwell with...

I'll let ya know as soon as it's been in at Birchdown what the resolution was. Fingers crossed it's nothing major .

Hi Andy. It's on the original ball joints. Today and yesterday it hasn't creaked. Did you see / hear my video I posted ? If you think it might be ball joints can you order them in for when I see you on Monday.

Used daily . Owned since new , 11years 5 months old on 77,4OOish k miles .

You'll need a 17mm spanner also to hold the slider pin when you undo the pad carrier . You don't need an eezibleed kit . Just some tubing from the bleed nipple into a bottle . Or you can one of these , local motor accessory shops usually sell them for about £2.00...

These are the correct spark plugs . NGK PFR6E-10 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Renault-Clio-2-0-16v-Sport-172-182-Genuine-Set-Of-Spark-Plugs-x4-8200239321-/271784689909?hash=item3f47a140f5:g:iRAAAOxyFbpR5~fT

Can you not just put the garbage steering wheel on temporarily and send yours off to be retrimmed ?

Welcome to CS :up: GW 200 looks nice .

@SomeGuy

Have you spoken to the seller ? Tyres aren't a biggy , they can be had for £70 a corner for something like Uniroyal Rainsports . He's told you that the servicing was carried out by a specialist ? Dents can be removed by a PDR guy usually for about £40 a dent . If you're planning on keeping the...

Have a search for blocked drainage hole under the scuttle panel . Seems to be one of the main culprits for this .

Ahhhh right . That's fair enough . Could you not message them , see if they'll come down half the price of the belts service ( around £300 ) I doubt they'll knock off the full price. The interior looks tidy , seats and steering wheel . I think finding the perfect car and the perfect price is...
