7701476557 was listed as a clutch kit, which included the plate and cover. 8220317815 was just for the plate and sold separately from the cover - 8200417854 7701478115 was also part of a kit but isn’t listed for a 182, but several parts websites seem to think it’s fits a 182. Probably ties in...

See above 😊

Cheers @Krarl Thanks for the 172 Cup info. I’m focusing on the 182, and when I replaced my Cup shocks in 2017, they had Monroe markings. That doesn’t prove Renault used Monroe as the OEM, but it proves they supplied a shock absorber and aligns with sources that I checked at Renault Parts...

I’ll post this here since there’s no specific category for parts lists - I’ve asked about adding one but haven’t heard back yet. Over my 8 years owning four Clio 182s and dealing with parts shortages, I’ve compiled a list of parts made by other manufacturers for Renault. Hopefully, this helps...

Don’t show me that 🙈 🤣

Me thinks that Rabbit hole is about to get much deeper 🤣

Yeah, wipes seem more practical Jon. I found it all a bit pretentious to be honest 🤣 Little bottle, gloves and those tiny little applicators. Like rocking up to a restaurant expecting a Sunday dinner and you end up with Nouvelle Cuisine. I’ll check those out.

I’ve never really been one for detailing or cleaning products. I like to keep my cars smelling nice and vacuumed, and that’s pretty much it. I rarely wash them during the winter; instead, I leave them filthy until spring. I seem to prefer rolling around underneath them. I’m going to drive them...

It didn’t take long to apply, and I used nearly the entire bottle. I wouldn’t say I was bowled over, as the results are similar to ACF-50. However, if it lasts as long as the reviews claim, it’ll save me a lot of hassle. Just need to give the rest of the car a wax polish. Thank you for reading.

The old connectors have a bit of corrosion, understandable giving their position next to a washer bottle. The new ones. I dug my old block of wood out to help me solder. As I’m on my own, I solder each wire and then tape them down to avoid movement. It’s a while since I soldered, so...

My last day off, so I thought I’d tackle the exterior black plastics. I bought some C4 Permanent Trim Restorer after reading good reviews. While ACF-50 works well, its effects aren’t long-lasting. For £22, I expected 5 litres, so I was a bit miffed when this arrived. 🤣 There’s one born every...

Ordered some Gtechniq C4 Permanent Trim Restorer as I keep reading good reviews. Do I need to remove the Black plastics from the car or mask off to avoid getting on the bodywork? I assume you’d degrease the part prior to application?

There’s a few bits of sticky tape inside so I imagine it would become unsticky if you were removing them regularly. But no, once you push them in, they’re solid. Really nice idea and design.

Nah, it’s just all cars, a lack of knowledge and it’s usually always something that happens right at the start. Tracing back your steps is difficult when you have 39 other people sending you off in a million different directions. They mean well though and it’s usually something daft. Your car is...

I drove the car to the beach, but on the way back home, the wiper washers stopped working. I got it onto the drive and checked the fuses inside the car and under the bonnet. All were fine. I had a spare washer squib, so I switched it out. Still no washers. Then I went to start the car, and it...

The Clip will provide the correct codes and help isolate the problem, but it still requires someone who understands how to read them and knows what they’re doing. Diagnostics is a black art. Two “auto” electricians looked at mine, and both scratched their heads. It took weeks to sort out, and...

Specialist now. You’ll just be going around in circles.

Managed to get booked into Kwik Fit this morning to sort the Aircon - cheers @Brigsy The chap who did the work also supplied my tyres and is an all-round good egg and a proper petrol-head. I also discovered, he’s at the Nurburgring at the same time as I am, so that should be cool. Took...

Just looking on the J&R website here - https://www.jandrcvjoints.co.uk/car-parts/drive-shafts.html According to that website when I put my reg number in - see screenshot - the DS248 fits my car. Mine’s a 182 FF Cup Packed car also, but the ABS ring is too narrow. Here’s the one I have still...

What car do you have again and which side? I have a brand new drivers one in a box here - not Shaftec though - but it’s doing nothing. Can check the part number if I know which model.

Gave her a proper blast over God’s Country this morning. New radiator seems to be holding up well. No leaks, nice and stable. Car feels great. Booked in for service, MOT and Aircon Regas next week 🤞🏻

I’ve never bought one to be fair. Biggest criticism I have seen is the CV boot not being the right size and tearing on the sump. I’ve had 4 Renault Sport 182’s - 2 circuit cars, 2 road cars and fitted Shaftec to them all. Never had an issue. It’s a genuine refurbished Renault part, so I stick...

Early start to put it all back together. No dramas - everything went according to plan. I spent most of the time going over everything and cleaning up as I went. New ECU bracket installed—thanks, @Colin-S . The old one had caused a few scratch marks due to some movement, so I touched...

I fitted one of these on my Black Gold track car and it was spot on Jon. It looks identical but I’ll keep an eye on it.

The rain hasn’t stopped, so I did some work in the garage. I bought a load of new bolts and clips to attach the new condenser to the new radiator and then to the fan shroud. As usual, the missus has been messing about in there and thrown her stuff everywhere, so I couldn’t find them. Being an...

Thanks Colin. Yeah those are soaking in some DEOX-C right now and will be getting the Gun Oil treatment..again! Yes, both repainted Black. I snapped it a few months back and was proper peeved off. I’ve broken 3 now in 7 years. It’s not bothering me too much at the moment, but if you come...

Spring, my arse. It started bloody raining on the one day I began working on my car. 😤 Still, I managed to get the bumper off - I hate doing this on my own - and the radiator, condenser, and dryer. The ECU is out, and I removed some inner liners to check for corrosion. Everything looks...

SPRING REFRESH Amazingly, it’s been over four years since I purchased this car and completed its restoration. Of course, I’ve been maintaining the car over the 6,000 miles I’ve covered since taking ownership. As I have a few days off, I’m going to give the old girl some TLC and refresh some...
