Don't be silly ? My friend works for Renault warranty I think Renault are well aware of how long to expect from shocks and how many they had back in workshop for shOckies under 20 k . Genuine rear shocks don't last long !!

Usually a years warranty on parts and labour . Renault genuine shocks are only expected to last 20k max so maybe 14 months isn't so bad. I remember struggling to get rear shocks under warranty when owning clio 182 from new

Checked injectors?

Yeah I wouldn't take it above 109mph until you get to the bottom of it

Lol rag it to clear the whining noise

I bet you are right ! Just had it checked and injector no3 the problem

Misfire @ 7500rpm :O

Ok thanks for the advice ... What do u mean by electrically ?

Scotland west lothian

Ok maybe I'm out my depth :) its just getting a good mechanic to my house that's the problem , I don't like driving a car with misfire .

So pulling them out and seeing if any make a difference isn't worth trying ? Im in no way a mechanic so anything is out with my abilities

I have a misfire and lumpy idle . Had the car on clip a few days ago and there was no fault stored so they checked connections of plugs leads and everything was ok for 1 day and then it returned . So now having changed the plugs leads and coil and no answer from clip diagnostic , how do I check...

Clip found it to be one of my spark plugs not tight enough , not happy as they were fitted by Renault tech few days ago as a homer .

Happened to me last week , look under front of car its possibly engine tray dragging

The light flashed on start up a few times yesterday on long journey but few flashes and off , never stayed on or appeared during a journey

Thanks I'll take that on board, I sent you a pm mick asking question

30 mins each or 30 minute the pair ?

Would this cause the car to sound rough and put emissions light on ?

I didn't do the coolant change myself . someone else suggested to me about air in system

I had a coolant change and afterwards the needle didn't go back to the middle, it sits just under the middle line and jumps up to middle and back down frequently . Today the emissions light flashed on start up then disappeared The car sounds lumpy on idle but it might be exhaust noise it sounds...

So are front shocks an hour each ?

I had a quote today but not sure of the price for just the springs as I asked to be quoted on eibach springs and front shocks , to fit the labour was £ 160 thst includes 4 wheel alignment ( swr stirling ) . Currently have the shocks going to order eibachs tomorrow . I thought it could all be...

Scotland west lothian , a long way from Essex or Banbury , people say it's easy and 1 hours labour ?

Any idea on cost for "fit only" for eibach springs on 182 ?

If it's only front shocks , I have a new set here in bought from Adam last week, I'm getting them put on this weeks or begining of next week, id be willing to send my current ones out free.. if u postage was paid .

Can u not use normal cup shocks from breakers temporarily till Sachs get repaired ?

People go on about the importance of a cam belt change , it means nothing unless it's been done alongside full aux kit . Renault changed the interval for aux pulley to 3 years or 36k I think so it could help the cam belt last , if u don't get the aux belt done in between cam belt changes then I...

Swr in stirling have clip and charge 47 inc vat I think for full clip diagnostic and report , they also investigate so takes a full hour

My friend works for Renault warranty , they say only to expect 20k max from set of standard rear shocks , it's something thst needs replaced often on 182s particularly in areas with lots of speed bumps etc

I've only ever used continental (8k) and exalto2 (12k) on fronts , didn't fancy the ps3 tyres and seriously think the goodyears are better , haven't a clue how they will wear but I drive my car hard and the goodyears feel so planted on the roads . If I get 10k plus from goodyears I'll be happy .
