www.janspeed.com Should see Janspeed direct, scroll down on the left side to suspension and hit dampers (pro dampers) select 172 option on page 2, apparently only £169.20........... now they have either made a mistake or are really poor for the car or its completely legitt and a bloody...

Ive have a non cupped 182 and am currently running Eibach pro springs. To be honest in terms of handling I was at first a bit dissapointed when I had these fitted to the car, there was an improvment over standard but still a fair bit of roll through the corners. Ive now decided to purchase...

...Silkolene proS 5w 40 fully synthetic engine oil..? How does this compare to other oils (general smoothness, cost etc)? Is it ok/ good for normal everyday driving? Rob.

I want to purchase one of these but there are loads of different pressure types. Obviously I want enough pressure to blast the grit off but dont want it to harsh that it would start blasting paint off!! lol I only want this as my pre wash and final rinse not bothered by all the accessories...

16500 miles, now only 2mm of thread up front left so I need some pretty urgently.. Im obviously looking for the best deal/price around so where do you recommend? Also can the club discount come into play anywhere? Thanks for your help Rob.

Mine seems to be well random nowdays sometimes it will come up with the "oil ok" and other times it just shows the miles straight away..... Any ideas as to whether this is eventually gonna stop working all together?? anyone elses do this? Not a major issue although it can be quite...

I removed my engine cover(182) a while ago coz it was making loads of noise when the engine was being revved. Now I want to refit it but am unsure of what material to use to pad it out so it doesnt make any more noise I was thinking some sort of foam????? Although not sure coz of the engine temp...

Hi, I posted the other day with questions about fitting wheel spacers. Freddinamic you recommened that I fit just 5mm up front which I probably will do anyway... Although ive been wondering about fitting 10mm up front and 5mm at the back. Does this sound to much? How could I expect it to...

Hi all I dont really no to much about fitting these really so need some advice, My 182 (non cup) is running on Eibach pro's. What in your opinion would be a good size wheels spacer(s) to use? Do you fit the same size front and rear or would you have the front wider than the rear or vice...

I get alot of knocking from the exhaust where it catches on the bumper as i pull out of turnings etc and is alot worse when i have people in the car. Ive had a pretty good look and the problem appears to be the 2 rear exhaust mounts. The problem with these is that by the look of it they cant...

Ok ive just gone to start my 182, there was a loud metalic bang and it failed to start so i turned it over again and now its just constantly revving at 3000rpm what has just happened what could this be??? Cheers Rob.

Its a non cupped 182. I feel from what ive read about the Eibach pros that these are the ones for me small drop but improved handling etc...... Now another spring that i would be interested in are H&R sport springs http://www.hrsprings.comwww.hrsprings.com Im not 100% sure whether they...

Right it is a Magnex cat back slash cut version. Which i had fitted today by a good company (or maybe not!!!). Looking at it the left pipe sits slightly off to the right so when the car is idling or as i pull away it is catching the bumper causing this horrid and quite honestly unacceptable...

I want to order one of these systems where would be a good, reliable and honestly priced place to order one from? And what companys are there that have a discount for us members, if any? Cheers Rob. [Edited by rwaterman on 23 May 2005 at 5:25pm]

I have owned my 182 for a year now, and within this time it has been back to the garage for numerous problems which have all been fixed but i still am left feeling paranoid about the steering/handling. To do with the steering I have had the universal joint replaced coz i had serious play in...

How does the non cupped suspension in the 182 compare to the 172 mk2? I am interested in changing the setup on my 182 but dont want major change looks wise and Eibachs pros seem like they would fit the bill nicely........ Thing is i know that people have added these to there 172s and have...

I have to remove the top part of the dash to get to the air vents which blow onto the windscreen. The reason for this is that 1 of them is rattling and its doing my nut right in! I have taken it back to renault they sort of fixed it but it has now returned..... I would much rather tackle...

I came out to my car last night pressed the key to get in and it bleeped 4 times. I know there has been posts posted regarding the alarm bleeping 3 times, which has never happened to me. What exactly does the 4 beeps mean when trying to gain entry to the vehicle? It doesnt say alot in the...

Can i change my 182 stereo and still use the satalite thingy on steering wheel? Do i need to use the same brand of unit as already in there, or is any decent stereo ok? Rob.
