Perfect for me then 🤣🤣

I changed the drivers side door check strap yesterday. It definitely looks different to the original one, but it works. No more clunking of the door when I open and close it 😁👍 One thing I have noticed with this check strap is, the door opens way more than with the original.

Is it happening when you turn the steering when you're stationary?

Is the code for this pad Eg?

I'd say most people order brake pads online. So checking the backing plates would be impossible,unless you ask the seller for that information or better still send a picture of the backing plate 🤔

Have a look on Autodoc. It says that they ship to South Africa. They sell TRW pads for a 182. https://www.autodoc.co.uk/car-parts/brake-pad-set-10130/renault/clio/clio-ii-bb0-1-2-cb0-1-2/17869-2-0-16v-sport

Looks like somebody lost out on this one. Was previously sold for £45,250 😲

This was years ago, when everyone knew that they squealed. I've been using TRWs ever since. Personally I think they're a much better pad.

I don't think so. I've always bought mine off ebay.

For a 1*2? Front pads are GDB1405 Rears GDB1305. They're cheap as chips and the last for ages and ages. I've never had them fade when pushing on...

I've been using trw pads on my 182 for years, just for fast road and I rate them highly. I really don't get why people rave about Mintes M1144s. I didn't rate them for stopping and they squealed like a pig slowly down for traffic lights.

I have these exact cables fitted to my 182 and they're spot on 👍 It seems there quite a few variants for aftermarket handbrake cables and some are a got too long and some a bit too short.

I've been running Grams springs on my 182 for a couple of years now and really rate them.

I was on holiday at the time so couldn't check what I had at home. These are genuine Renault 182 front and rear cup shocks that I bought from RPD a few weeks ago. I couldn't see any indication that they're made by Monroe. All 4 boxes say they're made in Spain. Maybe Renault had more than one...

As long as they fit. That'll do for me 👍

I guess that's probably the reason? The part number for the front is different to the rear. Front is 7700842857 Rear is 7700842859 If they work, they work and hopefully won't start clunking again after a few weeks 🤞 I've ordered them.

Cheers 👍 I'll order them. Strange why it says " rear" check straps 🤔

Where did you get the door check straps from? I replaced the drivers side one a couple of years ago and that clunks really bad. I changed the passenger side one a few weeks ago and now that clunks, even after smothering it in lithium grease. They were both from ebay and none genuine parts.

Thanks for posting all that info 👍 Just a couple of questions. It says the front shock absorber 54mm and 60mm bolt spacing have the same Monroe part number G7203? Likewise the rear shock absorber for cup and none cup. G1049?

That's actually the way I went last time. I always put it in Google maps in case there are any problems. It's the first time it's taken me that way. Normally I've gone down the M56 then M53. That's the way I went a couple of weeks ago when I had the cambelt / aux belt service. It took me around...

Not actually today. A couple of days ago had the Big service at Birchdown. Both belts, aux belt tensioner, thermostat, water pump and spark plugs. Total round trip of 4hrs 15mins. I hate the M6 ☹️ Back to Birchdown today to fit a new passenger side drive shaft and new Redline MTL gearbox oil.

Those grills look shocking 😱 Looks like it's a black car that's had a blue vinyl wrap.

That's definitely a cheap Chinese reproduction caliper. You can tell from the arm that the handbrake cable goes through. Original calipers the arm looks like this.

Take it to Birchdown. If you're in Manchester it won't be that far for you. It's good 3 hour round trip for me. I'm booked in for my cambelt, aux belt.... service in a couple of weeks. They're always very busy. I've been going to Andy and Steve for years and their work is always spot on 👍...

Ahhhh right. It does look a bit perished. I think it should be ok though if it's bonded in.

That seal looks a bit strange. Has it had a new quarter glass in the past? It doesnt look like it's got the factory tint? They are bonded in, but there's a seal inside as well. Yours looks like it's coming out. This is what mine looks like.

If yours is 172 cup then these are what you need. https://renaultpartsdirect.co.uk/parts/steering-suspension/renault-clio-172-front-shock-absorber-cup-version/ https://renaultpartsdirect.co.uk/parts/steering-suspension/renault-clio-172-182-rear-shock-absorber-cup-version/

Less than half the price from Autodoc for an SNR wheel bearing 😉

I don't know who told you that? But it's not true. The Avon zv7s are still available from lots of different places and haven't been discontinued.

I think it depends what the warning light is. If it's an abs fault, my understanding is that it's a safety issue and would be a fail. I'm guessing it depends on the MOT tester, how well you know them 😉
