Well after a week of whining in all gears I think my box has given up. Wont go into any gear apart from 5th and neutral. ​feels expensive Lol.

I've recently noticed a whine when driving. It doesnt do it when accelerating but if I let my foot off the pedal while in gear that's when I hear it. If I roll without it been in gear then it doesn't happen. Could it be release bearing related or something worse?

Are the brash bushings from yanoo worth bothering with if I don't buy the stiff shift kit? I'm a bit scint at the moment but wanted to try an make the gear stick a little less sloppy and the brash bushings from yanoo are only about a tenner. Will they make any difference on their own?

After a thread I saw the other day about the auto button on the climate control I've been having a play. I normally just set my temp to 20c and leave it at that and its normally quite comfortable. Today I tried the auto button at 20c and all that happened was it just turned on the air con...

When i pull away in my car slowly i get a slight knocking, its done it for as long as i remember and not got any worse but its starting to do my nut in now. No juddering or anything, its just noise. I thought it may be the engine mounts but they seem ok.. Are there any common problems i should...

As title. Is 2 litres of oil in 3000 mile mean my stem seals are probably knackered? Car runs fine , pulls well and still does 43mpg on a long run. isit likely to go pop anytime soon? I change the oil every 5k anyway so it's not a massive issue cost wise.

Is it going to cause any big problems if i run with no undertray for a while? Ie water harming any sensors or stones getting to the aux belt? From what i can see the aux belt is covered anyway without the undertray When i put my car back together this morning i noticed that the undertray bolts...

Bought a new genuine aux belt the other day for my 182 with air con it just looks a little short, not had time to strip the old one off yet to compare. Writing on the belt says ​6k 1662 8200226493 12 200

Well car has been playing up recently where the clutch won't disengage properly. So I took it to halfords auto centre today because I couldn't get it into gear and as I was parking I hit the wall like a numpty. I only clipped the corner and the entire thing fell down. The car is hardly marked...

Had my aux kit changed last week by a reputable garage but im a little worried as it seems to be wearing more on the left hand side already, could someone have a quick look at my pics to see if it looks normal.

Just seen the air con delete kit on pure Motorsport for 140 quid so thinking about getting it and having a bash. Is there any instruction for doing it? Do you need any special tools like with a cam belt or is a socket set and spanners sufficient t? I'm fairly handy with a spanner but...

Checked my dip stick this morning and it was bang on the lower marker. So I had a 1l bottle of gulf race oil and started topping it up bit by bit. I'd pretty much emptied the whole bottle in and still wasn't at the top marker, so I just put the lot in. I checked the level after about 10...

My old t reg clio completely corroded on the drivers side rear arch, and most other older clios i have seen have this exact problem on the drivers rear arch and behind the petrol cap. Is there anything i can do to prevent this hapening to my 182 or than a good coat of wax? Garaging the car...

Recently i have noticed that when in gear and driving my gearstick seems to have a lot more play in it than it used to. Its not massive, maybe a cm or 2 either way. Is it something which can be easily fixed with new bushes? If so which ones?

I noticed yeterday that ive got a knocking noice coming from what seems to be the rear right of the car. It does it when i go over bumps. It sounds a bit like when a shock bottoms out but everything looks fine, the springs are 10 month old sportlines and are not damaged at all. Id it a common...

I've got standard 182 cup pack wheels on my car and currently its got 205 45 16 all round. I need 2 new fronts and 195 45 16 are so much cheaper. 1) will they fit my wheels ? 2) will it cause an issue having an odd size on the front and back.

Just did a trip down to heartforshire in the 182 on a full tank of vpower. on the way there the cruise controll was set at bang on 70 all the way there pretty much, think i had to use the clutch about 3 times for the odd roundabout and i averaged 43mpg when i got there. on the way back i reset...

i need a couple of new tyres for the front of the 182. ive currently got goodyear eagle gsd3's on the front which i have been very happy with but i cant seem to find em anymore. on the rear are toyo t1r's which im not very pleased with. im thinking hankook evo v12, 205 45 16, any other...

I see the new must have air filter set up seems to be an open cone in front of the battery. What's a good elbow and cone that doesn't cost 167 quid to make? I saw some good home made ones but can't find the thread to the parts used.

I've found this wing mirror as some **** decided to nok mine off. Has anybody ever used this company? It says its heated and electric but for 20 quid it seems too good to be true http://www.aepdirect.com/wing-mirror-left-hand-electric-heated-with-separate-primed-cover-p1548?category_id=3822

I've had my piperx panel on for about 10k now so its time for a clean. I seem to remember when I got it it was caked in filter oil but as it was brand new I assumed this was normal. After reading it seems they don't need too much oil on. So I've just cleaned it with warm water and...

My car had both belt kits changed almost 3 years ago which is the interval for the aux belt. I have only done 12 000miles since that, should I do the tensions or just the belt?

Came out of work today to find my wingmirror snapped off. Any ideas how much they cost new from renault? Its the one with electrical mirror and the black nipple sensor. Do they come as a complete unit with the triangle bit which is mounted on the door?

Just failed mot and other than emmissions it failed on blocker windscreen washer. How the hell do I get the bottle out? The windscreen wipers will not come off!

The last few months I've been averaging 28mpg driving like a granny round town, so I was thinking it may be a lambda problem. However on the motorway at 65 I still get a very good 43mpg. I used to get 32 town driving so thought about buying a new 02 sensor but if the motorway mpg is still...

Well I just put my cat back on for my mot made by a company called vortex which the previous owner put on. Looked them up and there only about 100 quid so it can't be the best bit of kit in the world. It failed on emmissions, the cat looks fine and has no rattles. Is it likely to have...

Anybody know what size this torx screw is? My new sensor is coming tomorrow but the screws were out of stock I've tried an m6 which seems to be the right thread but it goes all the way through but gets stuck when it starts to poke out the other side, an m5 isn't big enough.

im ordering a new rear abs sensor in the morning from west renault, and i came to take my old one off tonight and this is what i found. the sensor looks like it was held in with tape? does the metal collar come with the new sensor or is it pressed into the hub?

Been looking at getting this app and a Bluetooth adapter as it looks pretty cool but I dunno if I'll bother if it can't read the c codes for the abs system. Amy ideas?

I had my faults read for my abs/ESP service light which said it was the rear right abs sensor and the break pedal switch. I then adjusted the break switch so that it came on at the slightest tap of the breaks but the faults are still there. So I cleaned both rear abs sensors and tested...
