Just took my 182 in to quick fit for some faults read as my abs and traction control light are stuck on. First fault was Rear right wheel speed sensor which I'm guessing is the abs sensor. I'm thinking that's a pretty easy fix, I followed the rear sensor cable back and it seems the wire is...

Yesterday my 182 developed a problem. When i first start the car the abs tcs and service lights come on and stay on. if i turn the engine off and start again then they go out. Theres no fault codes and i tried disconnection battery to see if that reset anything. Car runs fine.

as title really. one of my rear calipers keeps seizing so every month or so ive been taking the disk off and giving the piston a good old twist and squirt with some wd40 beneath the rubber seal. this leads me to think that the seal is letting water in and causing corrosion. is it a new...

Im familiar with removing the dash, however i am wanting to run some 0awg cable though the firewall but i cant for the life of me see how its going to go through the standard grommet which is behind the glovebox. So my plan is to remove the glovebox and then use a stepped drill bit to make a...

First day of the ice last week and my car has developed a creak on the steering. It only does it from cold and after a 10 minute drives stops doing it. If i start up the car on the drive and move the wheel left to right its like a loud creak. I don't know where to start

i noticed i had some drag which seemed like my rear brakes were stuck on. upon inspection i found that my n/s caliper was sort of stuck and had caused my pad to almost wear out completely. However the caliper still worked as when i pressed the brakes it would still lock up properly. so anyway i...

Just come out of work and realised I've lost my key, ive got a spare. It could now be in Scotland or Plymouth as they are trains I was going on either way, but I only realised when I got to that car after my days work lol. Is there any way to reprogram the spare key so the lost key can't...

Im thinking about getting a ph1 airbox for my 182 because my pipercross pannel needs a clean soon so instead of buying the cleaning kit i thought id try a different filter so thought about the ph1 without the cafs so i get a bit of noise from it. anyway the main question is do i just need the...

One of the bolts rattled out and ive lost it. Do i need to get it back on sharpish or not? from what i can see it does bugger all, but thought id make sure first

Just curious really as i couldnt find the info. My old clio was only about 80 amps so i had to upgrade it when i put some big audio in. im not planning anything with this clio but just wondered what size it is as i know a guy with a 182 ff who is planning a big streetbass install so need to...

Got an old x reg ph1 1.2 and recently its developed a starting fault. When it does start it runs perfectly fine so i cant see it been a coil pack or plug issue or anything. What happens is it will turn over and fire for about 2 seconds and then die. sometimes you can keep it going it you rev...

What do you lot do during the winter regarding washing it? Would it be worth layering up the sealers and waxes for the next few months and then just not bother washing it untill the weather gets better? Im sure i read somewhere on here that once it starts to get too cold theres no point in...

does the rs tuner maps do something to the ecu to stop the emmissions light coming on? before i had the rs tuner map done my light would come on all the time even with the cat on. i then decat it and it was on constantly. i then had the rs tuner map done and havent ever seen the light again...

Ive got a really annoying rattle in the back of my car, it sounds like its coming from near the seatbelt at the back passenger side. i know these things do rattle themselves to pieces but its really annoying. Are there any common coulprits before i get somebody to sit in the back and push each...

Exhaust on the birds clio is blowing and im looking at new ones for her. its gona have to be a quiet one, i was thinking it might be worth just getting a full stainless system as shel be keeping the car for a couple more years yet anyway. its only the backbox thats blowing but seems daft to...

Just changed my fluid as the old stuff was looking a bit black. The steering actually feels lighter but I can't work out if its in my head lol. Car is on 73k I think.

Saw this at the co op in kimberworth Rotherham. White 200 cup with the reg plate x200 cup. Bet that cost a fair bit

Well as managed to snap the bolts that stick out of the lower inlet to hold on the fuel rail gaurd I finally got some new ones today from the stealers. What torque should I use for the bolts that go into the inlet and then for the nuts that hold the fuel rail guard on?

Was looking at getting some new leads for my car for when i do a massive service at the end of the summer and saw these http://www.northwestperformance.co.uk/product_info.php?cPath=6_7_86_3&products_id=159&osCsid=top84r6el2cihrid55tk7frs52 Arent the renault ones like £130 ? WIll these be some...

So just failed mot because my nearside headlight is sky high. The control on the dash next to the cruise control switch doesnt seem to work on either side which says both motors are nackered possibly? Is there a way to manually adjust the xenons?

I just called Renault to get some new fuel rail guard bolts and the guy didn't seem too convinced on the parts he ordered which he said were a pound each. Does anybody know the part numbers for em? Mine snapped somehow undoing the nuts when I was taking the fuel rail guard off. It's the 2...

Got a slow puncture on one of my t1r's, they've only done 1000 miles, should I put the slime in which Renault supplied or get it repaired?

Well mine has just snapped after my dad tried putting the brake on like a gorilla. anyway, it seems that the nearside still works but the offside doesnt, so im guessing that i can just replace the part of the Y which goes off towards the offside? or do i have to buy a complete cable? is it...

Well my front cup springs were had it, one of them had split at the bottom so i decided to oder some sportlines as it seemed more economical to if the rear 2 cup springs ever decided to break. fitting them was easy enough. cant see any drop though to be honest but thats not why i bought them...

Just found one of my front springs has broke and needs replacing. I was considering getting 4 sportlines fitted but they are 130 quid for 4. I seen nwp are doing genuine springs for 40 quid so I'll just get the front 2. Are all springs the same for cup or non cup? If so how come a cup is lower?

need some cheap disks for a 52 plate 1.2, i rang bullseye and he gave me 3 options but he wasnt really sure which ones fit it and i cant take them down as they are still on the car lol. doesnt need to be anything special, just something to get it through the mot.

Got a slight nocking noise when pulling away so im going to have a go at changing the upper gearbox mount seen as its the cheapest one lol. ive got a powerflex dogbone so thats ok. also does the lower gearbox mount ever cause problems? it never seems to get mentioned. finally, how do i...

as title really, when i pull away i get a slight nocking sound. ive got a powerflex dogbone so im thinking it may be the engine mounts? or could it be something more serious like driveshaft?

Been eyeing up these 6k hids http://www.hids-direct.co.uk/hid-xenon-bulbs/d2s-hid-xenon-replacement-bulbs-p-447.html Are they any good. It says they come as a pair. Do I really only need to spend 20 quid to change my 182 from stock xenons to 6000k's ?

Just wondering how much this affects the value of the car to a trained eye. My car only had 3 service stamps from new when I bought it, but the previous owner had got reciepts for oil changes and also a cambelt change from a reputable garage along with another oil change. So for me on te...
