Yes, you can still get some parts from your main dealer via France - usually 10 days. I had to wait 10 days for bolts, engine lifting hook, and that kind of thing. Serviceable items are fine in general, but some engine sensors are now N/A such as MAP, ABS etc...all third party now. I think I...

Tried that number and ended up in Calcutta.

I picked up a Valeo kit 215mm 26 teeth 826558 off EBay for my 182. Cost me £85 from memory. Did 10,000 miles on it no issues before I sold the car a month back. Just did a complete resto on my 182 RB and parts are getting thinner on the ground, getting good quality second hand bits is...

I think this has been the case on all my 182s as the mating surfaces on that housing are showing their age. I just replaced the thermostats, then added a bit of silicone and they've been gold. They especially seem to leak around the pipe going to the radiator, so again a bit of silicone around...

When my old 182 went into limp-mode it was a dirty throttle body as suggested above. Contact cleaner and WD40 did the trick. I have a perfect working throttle body in my garage which I'll do you an excellent deal on before you splash out for a new one. If you're plumbing for a new TB, K-Tec...

They're about but a lot are worn, especially around the fan buttons. It's for my resto, so if you take it off, let me know.

Good bunch of lads. And it looks proper racecar. PS... want to sell or swap me your climate control unit? :ROFLMAO:

I'm properly missing my race car. Just haven't got the enthusiasm to build another at the moment.

Didn't get the full reg but the last numbers and letters were 05HNE. Black 182 FF pulling off the A66 towards Riverside/North Ormesby this morning around 8:30. Older lady was driving it with a younger lad in the passenger seat. I thought I had the only Black 182 in the area, so be interesting to...

I've seen a few people before running standard 15" steel wheels on circuit Clio's. No issues. I assume you'll get a decent stud nut kit to replace the stock bolts? If you haven't get a kit already, check these out on eBay. Made by Bimecc who also make the PMS kits, but without the PMS tax.

I love the way this car sits Mark.

After all that great work as well. The extra stress that a track day brings unfortunately kills a lot of these old cars. Hopefully, you don't lose faith and can keep her on the road.

@SharpyClio

Possible brake switch behind the pedal? It's a sensor at the end of the day, so if the switch is faulty the ECU maybe thinks the brakes are being applied at the same time as the accelerator, causing it to go into limp mode. There's a guide on here about the brake switch and how to reset it...

Yeah those are the ones

Hmmm that's weird. I used to leave my shims in on the race car, and never had an issue running CL6, Pagid RS42, DS1.1...... EDIT. Tell a lie, I had to remove for the Pagid as they didn't quite fit.

The buttons in general are all pretty poor, to be honest.

With the Black Gold 182 now with its new owner, I can focus solely on the RB and get the paintwork to a high standard. The car's booked in for work in late January, which was the earliest I could get her in, so I'm going to swap a few interior parts in the interim period. I'm still on the...

If the leak is coming from the door cards, water will be sitting on the door seal, which will overflow and enter the car. Ask me how i know.

Is Nottingham too far a trek? @MicKPM at Diamond Motors is arguably the best Renault specialist in the country. Website - https://www.diamondmotors.co.uk/

Door cards may also have been off at some point and water is getting through that way. If all the above fails, check and reseal the door cards with some Butyl Sealant tape.

And she’s gone!

Those aren’t Turini’s, they’re standard wheels. I’ve got that locking wheel nut key on my Turini’s and standard bolts. I just use a Halfords advance 19mm socket. No issues.

I have the cup offset 38.5 ET Turini's on my 182's with standard nuts.

Welcome! What are you going to do to her?

Yes I know, I was weak. It was a few years ago and there weren't really any competitive alternatives. The contract is up in January and the TIVO is going back, so we'll see how i do then.

VM are becoming hardened to “I’m going to cancel blah blah blah”. I’ve been on their Cable network since it was NTL and they happily cancelled my services after I threatened to leave. I called them back the next day saying I over-reacted 😂 and they reinstated my services. I’m still paying £20...

Tip* I know you've sorted it now, but the quickest way of getting the old rubbers out of the mounts is to pour some acetone (nail varnish) over the old rubber. It melts the glue and it just peels off. No more hacking your fingers or mounts with a blade.

So I finally plucked up the courage to let her go. She's sold, pending collection to another CS member. The plan was to get the belts done, a service and refit the air-con, but my company offered me a stupidly good deal on another car, which will tide me over the winter. It's been a hard...
