ok Sam, best of luck! :)

lol, lets hope someone with a 1*2 buys them on CS then we'll know they're safe ;)

you found tescos then I see? lol! ;)

ending tonight Bid happy! :)

Yeah strange one that, can't really help you I'm afraid Jay.

Look a bit 'random' Dan. Not for me I don't think.

Agreed :) You seen this Chris? ;)

Ok cool... Sounds like it might be a pre-2005 head unit. Meaning the car was (obviously as it's a Vee) built before 2005 but registered in that year.

Hmmm...strange that! Does the V6 head unit say Update List on it?

What year is your V6 Jay because up until 2005 they should be the same unit in the 182 and V6. Your 182 was 2005 correct?

Well after a small amount of motorway driving today, mine seems to be sorted. :)

holy thread resurrection that man!

ignore joel, my old bus...

No mate, can't say that I've noticed it with anyone sat in the back recently. It seems to be at sustained speeds over a certain distance otherwise it doesn't come on.

Let's hope this has cured it then mate.

Ok, got the car back just now and they've adjusted the brake light switch as that was the cause of the fault apparently. The fault doesn't always throw up the ABS light either, sometimes it can be just ESP & serv lights. So, fingers crossed! :)

:bump:

Yeah I'm amazed that if the new tyres are the problem, that more people haven't had this issue. It's not the brake switch as mentioned earlier in the thread as this brings up the ABS light too so who knows! Hopefully a simple 'reset' will sort it on the clip and all will be well again.

yes mate, although I don't really use it TBH I just want the lights off. Mine is in the dealers now getting it sorted so I will keep this thread posted with the results (if any).

yeah the car is going, her replacement is already lined up we just need to fix it to get rid. Also, what implications are there in fitting a second hand engine with different mileage and engine number etc? Will this need notifying to the DVLA or similar?

The garage say there was sudden and complete coolant loss causing the engine to basically go into immediate meltdown. Hence the pistons seizing etc. I just can't understand it really! :S It's the G/F's car and she has authorised work to begin on the new engine going in!

The damage; Warped head, pistons seized and engine generally KO'd. New engine being fitted as from tomorrow and is going to cost around £800 all in!

You need the rubber grommets that were attached to the old badge Sam, new badges don't come with them

Cheers hell ;) Not much left now! :)

Sure am mate, RenaultSport sticker for the steering wheel bagde, and an airbag sticker for the dash strips. :)

:bump:

is now underway. All my items forsale can be found here and i am happy to sell off eBay just get in touch. :)

Thanks guys :D I agree about the dash inserts, as with the Vees they should be as standard. Also doing my gear knob insert and steering badge so watch this space :)

lol, that's rather private Dan but very open of you for sharing it with us :rasp:

Cheers lads 'n' lasses :D Yeah Steve am staying with standard at present, why you ask? ;)
