One more question, can i let the antifreeze just flow out without worrying where its going or does it need to be directed to protect paint/metel etc?

By far the most helpful post! Kudos and much respect! Im now convinced you know exactly what your talking about! :) I will give it a go and post back my results (in an event of failure I will take it to renault so the proper stuff is still used). @Fred, the text I quoted was expanded by someone...

Thanks for the advice, but im not convinced you know what your talking about as OAT can be glycol based!!! As stated on the halfords website, 'Halfords Antifreeze Advanced is an Organic Acid Technology product based on ethylene glycol. It is quite similar to RX Type D'. However, Dan and Fred...

I dont think you guys are realising how cold it is here... 2C and falling!! my fingers will snap off from frost bite!

OK I have read up about the Halfords stuff a bit more, and it seems its pratically the same thing just a different color. they are both OAT based so there should be no problems mixing them, so im going to go for that at the moment as its not the right time of year to be outside doing a fluids...

16s arnt they?

ah right, sorry I should have mentioned that the system isnt low, its just weak according to a tester kit. So im looking to strengthen it up for the winter...

Yes thats fine and dandy, but I dont want to flush the system at the moment as its bloody cold outside! i just wanted someting concentrated that i could use to top up the header tank and get me through the winter. i will then re-do it with the real stuff next year in the warm lol. After a bit...

As thread title ^^, anyone know the answer? I just want a topup of concentrate so its good for the winter...

Have you taken it to renault? I thought mine was going (even posted a video of it and everything) so went to renault, and they said that just how the engine sounded. they even started up another 182 for me which sounded exactly the same! Apparently these engine sound quite noisy anyway, so its...

Everyone with cup packs, did you tell the inssuracne about them? Do you have to? I rang up mine and asked if they even knew what a cup pack was (which they didnt), so I added it on a modifications. It cost me £40 extra, but did I really need to tell them? Im with Admiral....

Thank Fred, do you know if you can buy it in concentrate as I dont really want to be draining the system this time of year?!

if only my previous owner could be found as easy as that!

that dosnt add up, but ok! Solongs its fixed! press the TC button just to make sure they havent removed the light from the dash when you get it.

Ok, I just checked the color of what I have in there at the moment, and it looks more yellow that green?! Is that right?

No way?! Woudl love to be pointed to the relivant thread to see what really went down!

ok, many thanks :)

p.s. I know its type d, but what color is type d (so i can tell if its got the right stuff in there at the moment as i dont want to drain the whole system)...

Anyone know which color coolent is used int he 182? I know if you mix coolents they can turn to glue so dont want to do that!

I like it!

What a lame comment! Nobody wants to see something they have put hours of work into get destroyed regardless of if they sold it or not! How do you think an artist would feel if they painted a picture they thought was really good and sold it, only to find out the buyer had pissed on it, thrown...

And for all of us that dont have sideways monitors... :p Looks tidy!

sounds like they need to send it to you Fred, you would have had it sorted twice by now! lol

i think thats why they need the renault clip, as they are clearly stumpted for ideas

BSI = Built-in Systems Interface, its like the hardware version of an API

Lets see it!

I dont think anyone has a problem with it being driven by the garage for testing, we originally thought it was being test driven by other potential customers! Also, advising that Dan checks for the proper documentation for the cam belt isnt scare mongering, its just s precaution...

This is a prime example of why i dont wan tot get rid of my old clio!!!

And back on thread... its a dash off job (its very easy and take about 5 mins, guide are on here), then dial kit out. I think its an LED so you will have to get a replacement that fits. alternatively, just swap it for a light your not worried about. If its LED, you will need a soldering iron...
