Maybe the issue is we have the pedal sensor too sensitive? So it's getting brake pedal signals with just the pedal rattling around? I really need to change the brake fluid also, probably over 10 year old. I did manage to have car working very well for a number of years when it was my daily...

Have you used the RSTuner to change your engine mapping? If so was it good?

Bloody legend. Really appreciate your help fella.

Very kind mate. Maybe I'll take you up on your offer. I went out for a 20 min blast just now and didn't see a single light... Which was nice. Would your rstuner be able to see old codes ok? Very intermittent these warning lights.

If there's no one around with the clip diagnostic things could someone recommend a decent Renault specialist garage maybe? Cheers

Would very much appreciate some diagnostic help from someone near Crawley if possible. I'm happy to drive to you anywhere in south east England and bring beer tokens with me. Got a few issues with my 182 that I think a proper diagnostic tool might help with. 1: yellow Engine light in bottom...

Looks mint ben

If I go paint route, is plastic primer recommended? Don't want it peeling off after a year. And what black paint recommended? Thanks in advance

Just don't crash it in the wet FFS

I've been struggling to figure out what to do for a few years. All options appear to be rubbish. I replaced original Renault ones with Febi ones. Made zero difference to the issue I have. Maybe OEM Renault ones would solve issue, but expensive. I'm using cup dampers and cooksport springs...

When you have them fitted I would love to hear your feedback. Do you think these solid mounts would be too harsh for road use is my main question. Cheers.

The gap between my top caps and turret is around 15mm. Way too much. Car body bounces around on uneven roads (most of UK roads then) My other solution is the machine some 12mm thick large spacers to sit under the top mount bearings. This would take up that slack hopefully. Thanks for sharing...

What's problem with them? They just not fit for purpose?

I've bought the Gaz ones, purely because I didn't want to drill holes in the body. I think it screws together from above and below turret.

I bought Febi ones. Still rubbish.

Let me resuscitate this thread. Does that work without cutting any plastic away from behind speakers? Also how thick would the MDF need to be ? I'm hoping to get 17cm speakers in without destroying the plastic in doors. Thanks

There's a clutch on the AC compressor which will go clunk and engage when ac button is turned on. You can actually see it spinning when engaged. Is run on aux belt. If this happens then you should have enough gas in system. If it doesn't engage there may not be enough gas or a problem with gas...

Fellas name on eBay is indeed Mike.

I'm tempted to buy a pair. Even with new Febi top mounts it's loose as a wizards sleeve at top of the dampers. It's like the rubber donut thing is too small or the cap can't drop low enough to take up the slack.

I've just got cup dampers and Cooksport springs. Will probably just put up with soggy top mounts for time being.

What's better about the fancy shifter?

I've seen some Gaz brand top mounts that are fairly affordable. It looks like they screw together in 2 parts above and below the turrets and therefore no holes need to be drilled in turrets. Has anyone have an opinion on these or some feedback they could share? Thanks

I've just bodged mine right up. Like bloody Blue Peter

Lovely job mate.

So I've had a rethink. Got some cheap copies of Renault caps size 57mm. £10.50 for 4 off a website called Onbuy.com I've snapped all the clips off the back and trimmed down remaining plastic so they sit more flush. I'm now going to just glue them onto the speedline caps after painting them...

Plus you need to spend lots of time and energy faffing with settings of adjustable dampers and camber settings etc. Would love some affordable Sachs dampers I could just bolt in to make my own trophy homage. But probably not worth money. Renault got it pretty spot on really. Not much need to...

I've just done a suspension refresh with cup dampers and Cooksport springs. Only reason for choosing the Cooksports was they were slightly cheaper. Firm but totally usable on the road imho. The springs are much less thick compared to the Eibach sport lines they replaced, a bit lighter and...

I'll be looking at some steering rack bushes now too lol. I think there's also one on the column somewhere. Maybe these plus new solid top mounts would make the car awful on the road however. And that is where 98 percent of my driving would be.

Interesting discussion. Most of it was right over my head towards the end there. Sorry to butt in, but Is there an upgraded top mount that people generally prefer over standard? Few years ago I replaced my original Renault top mounts with Febi ones, was barely any different. I've now just done...
