I had same problem with my rainsport2 I had fitted a month or so ago. I had the tracking checked twice by different people as the handling was terrible. It was spot on though. If you sort of slalom across the road to check how it felt it was like the wheels were loose or something. I think in...

Where you based marv, worth posting up to see if you have a specialist nearby. I had an intermittent illumination problem after the battery was replaced, and I took it to Mick @ Diamond Motors. It ended up being a bad earth on the rear lighting loom iirc.

Could be the battery on its way out, I had odd warning lights glow intermittently from drive to drive. To the point where it stopped completely.

Ive just got a price off admiral for the 182. £ 203 fully comp protected :approve: (200xs)

Good spot Mork of Ork. Looks like one and the same, plate is same by the looks of it too.

I would like to have made the end of month meets, but I've broken my leg in four places, made a right mess.:( Wont be walking for a few weeks yet, and dont know how soon for driving, thinking toward end of November tbh. Gutted. Might get the mrs to drive me down meet some of you guys.:)

Unsilenced B-pipe as well is a good cheap ish mod for your exhaust sound without changing the look of the pretty decent OEM backbox Sportex and Supersprint are quite popular.

@ rollerdan I moved from a 172 to the EP3 Civic Type R, and went on CTRO like you for about a week. Had a google for other forums and I've been on Type-R-Owners for 5 or so years now, it is a great place, with a lot of knowledgable people on, far better class than CTRO in my opinion. I could...

I see you have an RB182? Not an 04 plate is it - I think Ive put a couple of spotteds up about this one in Newark

It will be a guy who's not on here, or anywhere else I dont think, 35 yr old ish driver? I've seen him many times on London Road - I think he lives down toward the A1 fish bar and the vets (vet side of the road) He always gives me a wave out the drivers window or a flash of the lights, but I...

The yellow SFX-1 restore pad should blind it with a bit of high speed and decent pressure Malice. The Menz polishes are good because theyre specifically designed to work well on the ceramiclear topcoats of Mercs/BMW/Audi/Rolls etc. Intensive Polish PO85RD3.02 and the 4" SFX-1 sonus restore...

I've always had the NGK Iridium ones in my 172 and 182. Never had any problems, even before replacing them, only that they'd done 50k and I fancied a new set.

Something tells me they're aftermarket ones, they dont look quite wide enough to be the genuine ones. Hairdryer to help tease them off a bit, but you'll probably have to use some tar and glue remover on the panel and wipe down with IPA (isopropyl alcohol) to make sure your new ones stick.

PMd you Scott. I've got 4 or 5 spares of each. I just used self adhesive velcro applied to the underside of the footrest and fitted it in place in the footwell. 6k miles on and its not moved and inch. :D

Nice looking RB :approve: 43k, only just run in ;) Lose the stripes though.

Made a few different footrests for the Twingo and the Clio. Saves the carpet getting worn where the cars dont usually have a standard footrest next to the clutch. Twingo one: Clio one: (197 / 200) Pics courtesy of inwardnoise on here and 197.net And a couple of spares I did for a couple...

I must be the only one in Newark, though I see one passing through every now and again at the Shell roundabout (A17/A1/A46)

Ad doesnt work for me but I think Renault*Parts seller is genuine and anything from Holdcroft is good to buy. Have a gander on SMC Renault parts website. The guy who looks after their parts and so forth is the founding owner of Twingo133.net (Karl) They have loads of mats and stuff on there...

I had my fingers crossed all the time sat in the McDonalds down the road munching on a bacon cob lol

Other work we've done since last MOT. N/S inner driveshaft and bearing unit New Wash/wipe motor New battery Repair/replace wiring at rear of car due to dash light coming on intermittently when pressing footbrake Aux belt Strut top mounts Brembo HC discs and pads Needs new tyres in a couple of...

Mrs's 2005 Clio 182 Cup has had a few bits of routine maintenance and repairs done to it during the past year. Pleased to say it went into my local Honda Dealer today and passed its MOT without any problems. A big thanks to MICK @ DIAMOND MOTORS for his tireless help over the bank holiday...

:cool: Up until a month ago I also had a Twingo RS Gordini edition in blue with white stripes. Surprised you never saw me in that. Then again it spent a lot of time at the garage :dapprove:

It was me. :D Yeah I spotted you near the 614 roundabout on the A617. I flash soooooo many 172/182's and I never get anything back. I saw you give a quick wave back though Marky. :cool:

They should at least look a lot whiter. If its not really dark, they will still look a bit like standard bulbs. When its pitch black, they are a surprising improvement I thought.

I was really disappointed with the Philips. 3months. Pop! New pair required.

Yes mate, lets grab a beer up the pub. i have a friend with a Maserati GTS V8 i think i will pass your details on too. Few months old spec'd up to the doo-dahs. Sports exhaust on which sounds mental:eek:

Not seen you for ages Jim, drop us a text, would love to see the new place and catch up. Good to see you doing well chief :-)

Mmm, wouldnt know mate, I expect theyre the same as the Cup, just like the interior in the cup is the sam

JHead, H7 is the type of bulb you need for the Dipped Headlights (Cup only, as Full Spec 182 has xenons) H1 is the type of bulb for main beam (next to the sidelights) W5W/501 for the sidelights which are either old fashioned filament type or LED/SMD The H4 type Bulb I have in the Twingo is the...

Must add, I put ONB+ in the Twingo a couple of months back, theyre an H4 fitting. Those bulbs seem to give off more of a xenony look from the blue tinted glass, even though they look white from dead ahead.. The H7's are tinted that I have in the Clio, but you cant see any blue coming from the...
