Fitted the front shocks today. Seems much better now but I will test it properly tomorrow.

Tyre foam & car jack.

Just fitted the new fire ring and spring bolts. It seems that the new fire ring has made it so that the cat and the manifold are a few extra mm apart and therefore the washer between them is doing nothing and is rattling. Should I just remove the washer? Thanks, STRBramley

I've ordered the part from Renault today and I will be picking it up tomorrow. Thanks for all the help. STRBramley

Ok, thanks. I just hope it's the shocks as I've already ordered them.

Much cheaper than I expected :-) Are they easy to fit?

Thanks I'll check them tomorrow. If it turns out to be one of these and not the shocks how much would they cost?

The drivers side track rod end was replaced in May for its MOT. How do I check the ball joint and track rods? The reason I was sure it was the shocks was because my rear shocks were making the exact same knocking sound and replacing them fixed that. Thanks, STRBramley

Thanks. I'll see what Renault say tomorrow.

Is what you? I mean't could I get one cheaper from eBay? It don't matter I'll ring my local Renault tomorrow.

Where did you get this from? I've pm'd wests renault but I have not had a reply yet and I'm in need of the parts fairly soon. Any ideas where I can get the kit from? Thanks, STRBramley

Checked earlier today and it was blowing a fair bit. I've replaced the bolt with a temporary fix until I can order the new part you suggested. It's not rattling anymore but because the gasket needs replacing it is whistling a little bit as it is now tighter. Thanks for the help. STRBramley

Is this going to be expensive to repair? Will this be the cause of the lumpy blowing sound I'm getting? Thanks, STRBramley

I don't know much about these things but I'm sure something is wrong here. The picture below shows where I think the problem is. The bolt you can see is not attached to anything :eek: I have noticed a kind of blowing when accelerating so would this be the cause? Thanks, STRBramley

Checked today, the spacing is 60mm so ordered the shocks I linked yesterday. Seem easy enough to fit. Thanks for the advice and info. STRBramley

Perfect. Thanks mate.

Thanks, I'll have a look for the guide tomorrow and check.

Thanks for the info. I was told it has both cup packs. How would I check for the suspension cup pack? Thanks, STRBramley

I'm getting a knocking sound coming from my passenger side when I go over bumps or grates. I assume this means the shock needs replacing? I'm having trouble finding one. I found this. Is that all I will need to replace the front shock? Thanks, STRBramley

I didn't bother with the crossovers. Too hard to get wire from door speaker to tweeters. If I did use them though I would just put them in the door.

I just fitted my tweeters in my 182. Managed to do it without taking the dash off but damn it was hard! Why do they make the cables so damn short?! Very fiddly job but got there in the end.

Ah. Yeah, one of the rear alloys has no marks but the other one is slightly scuffed.

Not sure what you mean?

Not really though too much about. My priority at the moment is getting the alloys refurbished. I was thinking of simple things like a new panel filter and maybe new exhaust system somewhere down the line. Just been trying to find a guide but the search isn't too helpful. Any links? ;)

Finally got round to taking some pictures of my new car today. Got it about two weeks ago and have been busy getting the rear shocks sorted as well as the rubber exhaust mounts. As you can see from the pictures the alloys really do need refurbishing. Anyone know of a good place around...

The shocks didn't get here until today. Really easy to fit, only took me about 20 minutes. Drives much better now, thanks for the advice. STRBramley

Bump

Sounds ridiculous. Even if they did do this you could get a fix from Cydia to fix it within weeks.

Anyone know where this goes? I looked up the part number and it says sensor trim. Any ideas? Thanks, STRBramley

This! I'm looking forward to this more than Halo 4
