Could be a non - OE bonnet, I've seen non gen ones have crap fitment/gap issues.

Unreliable, I've heard.

Yeah there's a 3 - 5 second delay which is all UCH controlled.

Exactly ;) My headlights do need raising up a little at present :o MOT should sort that though.

Yeah I apprecaite what you're saying, but in my years on here and the years I've owned xenons I think that to state "They fail easily" is misleading. As you say, in your experience they have failed, this doesn't make it the norm though ;)

They don't work at all? Are you trying them with the headlights on??

He's referring to the auto-leveller on the rear beam. That does both headlights dependant on the rear loading. I think this is unrelated as it's just your one headlight that is over-adjusting itself.

Sorry but that's wrong. They don't fail easily, if you're buying £20 xenon lamps then they're bound to fail. It's an easy straight forward swap as said, I had them on my 1.2 for years and wouldn't go back.

Yeah they do, but I'd never buy a non-descript xenon lamp. Trust me, a £20 xenon bulb isn't worth the hassle. As the saying goes 'you buy cheap, you buy twice'. ;)

Really what, you mean do they really fail? Those links are for the xenon lamps that you need, not a lense.

Click me - but they seem pricey to me. These are a better price.

£140 will have probably been for two, I'm sure they're about £70 + VAT each from Renault. They often come up on eBay, and some online places sell them. I'll have a look in a minute.

Didn't you sell your 172, like 8 days ago??

We have a ban hammer too you know :rasp: What's it going in for Carl, the headlight motor? Warranty wont cover the Xenons surely.

It depends to be fair. 182 turbo's seem to go for above what a standard 182 would but they never, ever recoup what has been spent on the conversion. I think coilovers, brake kits and mild mods will never add any real value to the car. Adding an owner usually devalues the car anyway...

If the lamp has turned has turned pink it's on it's way out Carl. Always best to replace them in pairs too.

Yozza 'ere but you'll get divided opinions depending on what the person has. Btb would be my next vote, not Miltek.

Well if the EML is on you may need to change the pre cat O2 as it will have been polluted by the poor running. Mine was and I changed it before fitting the new MAP. EML is the engine management warning light on the dash yeah.

We talking major mods or little add-ons? Do you want it to look better or you after more power/better performance? Do you plan to put it on track etc?

Schrick Ben ;)

Is the sensor new - is it known to be working? I replaced mine and had no issues what so ever. Do you have the EML on, I know when my MAP played up it ran rich, which ultimately affected my pre cat O2 sensor.

I think people are unlikely to have opted for a custom remap after only one modification, most people will do a whole host of mods before getting it mapped and only then will have RR figures.

Mine, since Tuesday... and it's still snowing :D

Tow hook? If you mean towing eye, there should be one in the toolkit in the boot.

As said, it's a vacuum so should be sucking

Exactly, switch it off and see the difference! Gone are the years where people learnt how to drive properly :dapprove:

You have to replace the entire washer unfortunately. The 'balls' cannot be bought seperately.

I knew it was something like that without going outside and checking :o

The beam is meant to give that pattern though I'm pretty sure. Something like this ___/ ___/ is normal.

For that amount of damage/work, £500 is a very good quote! An alloy alone would be circa £150 brand new.
