I'll take immature over lazy and illiterate.

Chip fat. Use the search.

Take it off and give it a good clean up.

On top of the gearbox, iirc. Held on by two 10mm bolts.

Did they know it was an RS? Bargain, if so.

Easy job then..

I didn't, as there was none on the bolts when I took 'em off. Just make sure it's aligned correctly and it'll be fine.

All JC5 boxes will fit a 182. With the JC5 089 (Ph1) & 129 (172 cup), thy have a speedo cable sensor, but this just becomes redudant in a 182 as the 182 used ABS to work the speedo.

I just don't think it will. Companies like Renault pour millions into developing products that work with each other, and in most cases are the best they can be. I can't see how you spending £40 on some posh glue will beat that. I'll happily admit i'm wrong if you prove it to work well, though!

Christ knows. I can have a look tonight, but I doubt they'll be the same. Might be worth a new thread to ask the gurus?

New engine, tbh. Far simpler, and not that much more expensive. There's a few cars being broken on 'ere atm. LouisQ's cup only has 35k on, I believe.

All the internals will be the same, bar the gear ratios, I believe. A pm to Stan* might clear things up, He's good with 'boxes, I think..

I've got the whole box in bits... It span a bearing on the main gear set, but all the rest looks fine..

I've got a full gear set from a Ph1 172 (JC5 089) sitting in the shed. Looks fine to me. I'm not sure how the ratios differ though. I say it's fine, the cogs themselves are good. The shaft span a bearing, and so it's knackered..

Ah right. When you say you need 3rd gear, the actual cog?

What comes in the kit from Renault?

My 1.2 was good as gold. I did 30,000 miles in it and not one single problem. It was driven hard, too.

If you take the two bolts out at the back of the caliper.. 17mm from memory, the whole caliper should come off. Then just move the pads about until they come out.. Been a while since i've done it though, so I'm probably wrong.. EDIT. Listen to Fred. Above.

New bearings and oil seals are £135, too. They should be done if the box is coming apart.

If you've got the caliper off, you don't need to muck about with the pad holder, iirc. You should just be able to wiggle them out?

Don't take the brake line off though, or you'll need to bleed the brakes. Use something to keep the caliper from hanging on the line, ideally. Bricks/axle stands or something..

Could well be road camber. Drive along a level car park and check it out..

Easy job. If you get any problems, whack a thread up and it'll be easy. Oh, and smear some copper grease on the back of the pads, and a tiny bit where the pads run against the caliper to stop 'em squeeking..

It's always the way. When you're just browsing there's nothing about, and when you want to splash out you can never find anything. Don't rush. A decent one will come up.

I'd just give it a really good wash, tyre shine and bumper black.. 90% of people who look at buying a car won't pay attention to swirl marks. It's only people who know how to sort them, know what they are and how they're caused, and most of these people can sort them themselves!

Around 35kgs. I got quotes of £850+Vat for a new one at Renault..

Flol. You're an idiot. It won't work. You'll have to shell out another £40.. ;)

How does it 'woop' arse, if it's not as fast as the others you've mentioned? ;)

Driving past Salesian School on Guildford road. Slightly lowered. Looking tidy!

Driving past Gordon's school this morning. Gorgeous.
