Mines been my daily for 15 years when I bought it new. I still love driving it.
There were 2 Cup pack options when new.
1. Was the front splitter and cup spoiler.
2. Was anthracite coloured wheels instead of the standard silver which indicated that it also had slightly lower, stiffer...
I'd offer £2500 with the aim to meet somewhere in the middle. I'd also want to see some interior pics especially of the drivers seat, the bolsters can wear quite badly.
You can't actually buy them new anymore. But if you get hold of some second springs, yes they can. They were fitted as standard to 182 with 1 of the cup packs.
If its misfiring and you've got the eml light on it'll be more than likely an injector or all 4.
Ive had a misfire for the last couple of weeks and the engine management light flashing. It was on the original injectors and pre cat lambda, 97k miles. New ones fitted on Tuesday and it's running...
Check your battery earth and gearbox earth. My earths are all good so I don't know why mines does this.
I've had mine 15 years and it's done this for probably the last 3 years.
So yours only does it after being left overnight and it's cold outside?
Try leaving the engine running for 3 or 4...
Maybe a bad earth?
I have weird thing that happens to my 182 after sitting overnight, but only if its cold and showing 5 degrees or less.
I usually leave the car to idle for a few mins to warm up, but if I don't and drive off more or less straight away the auto door lock comes on, the dashboard...
Thanks @M90SR genuine Bosch fitted yesterday after eml light flashing and random misfire.
Also fitted 4 new genuine Magneti Marelli injectors. The 182s running smooth as silk now :)
Have you had a code reader on it? I've had my engine light flashing like Blackpool illuminations for the last 2 weeks and code P0300 random misfire. But I was getting a distinct smell of fumes and unburnt fuel inside the car.
It struggled through the emissions test back in September.
I changed...
Good shout about the undertray or maybe even a wheel arch liner.
I had the wheel arch liner scraping after a garage had done some work and not fastened it back properly. I thought one of the wheels was gonna fall off lol
D38 is colour code Renault use for Inferno. Are you after some rattle cans making up? If you give them that code they should be able to mix it.
I think the ral codes are different.
When I wanted some Arctic blue mixing i just gave them the Renault code J41 and they mixed it perfectly.
You'll probably find there's something like a small coin hidden in the slider.
To remove you unbolt it from underneath the car. Easy to do, 4 nuts, 2 of the holes to access the nuts have small plugs you have to prise out, the other 2 are just open holes. It's pretty self explanatory to be honest...
Those prices will most likely only be temporary. You find that they have offers on from time to time.
£343 is a good price. You'll need to add on coolant as well.
If you can afford it I'd buy the kit while it's at a low price.
I've had my 182 since new, coming up to 15 years in February. Wow, where has that time gone.
I took it off the road for about 10 months back end of 2018 and garaged it. I didn't need a car for that time.
Since putting it back on the road in September 2019 I've spent about £2k with new brakes...
Great little cars. You can have a lot of fun on the B roads, they handle surprisingly well.
I've had one a few times when I've been to Poland.
I drove it from one end of Poland to the other, flat out where possible, about 10 hours. I thought the fuel gauge was broken lol.
I wasn't sure if he'd actually bought it the end and if he did for how much. I know he said it spent some time at Birchdown but it wasn't clear who had actually sent it there.
Like @jameswrx said. If it's not located on the peg it'll scratch your window. I know, I learnt the hard way. If you leave it the scratch will just get worse every time you use the wipers.
