Just to confirm what you told me. Mine are M12 x 1.5mm thread pitch. Thanks 👍

Cheers mate 👍 I've ordered a thread pitch gauge. It should arrive today. I found another rear caliper with different bolts in again lol. Im not exactly sure where I got this one from, I've had it years. The calipers I've refurbed are genuine Renault ones that originally came on my 182. Hopefully...

It was just the first few threads 🤞

If you could check it would be much appreciated. I ran a M12 x 1.25 die down a couple of the bolts just to clean them up but it removed a bit of material so I stopped. They are a fine thread. I'll be surprised if they're a 1.75 pitch. I've read a bit about the bolts, there's not much info to be...

They're the 2 bolts that go in here. Not the 2 bolts that bolt the caliper to the hub. Looking on that list from the link you posted it doesn't show any of those bolts. They're about 25mm long.

Did you manage to sort out the caliper carrier bolts? I'm looking to replace mine but can't find the exact size. I thought they were M12 x 25mm x 1.25 thread pitch, but having visited a local tool distributor today to get some new bolts they didn't have any and didn't know the exact size.

Cup suspension was slightly lower and slightly stiffer than none cup suspension. So yeah, you're correct. Cup springs are no longer available but cup shock absorbers are.

I don't think you'll get e reply from Fred. He hasn't been around since May 2015 😳

I had one on my Yozza exhaust years ago. The eml came on a couple of times. I just reset it each time and it never came back on again. Zero performance gains as others have said. It made an already loud exhaust louder. I took it off come MOT time and never put it back on, so I sold it.

I've just put one of these " fruity tropics" in the side pocket in my car. It smells nice, it's subtle and not overpowering but you know it's there...

Nice one. Cheers 👍

Which website? Have you got a link to the pz2 bits please? I go through pz2 like no tomorrow.

Type D is the old one. The new one is Type E. Renault don't sell Type D anymore. If you want it, you have have to buy Febi.

The thing that concerns me is. Type E has an expiry date of only 3 years. Whereas Type D is 8 years. Surely the Type E will degrade much faster after going through 100s of heating and cooling cycles?

Carpro Dlux lasts for ages, a little bit goes a long way. I had high hopes for the Infinity wax plastic coat when it was released as I like their products, but was really disappointed how long it lasted. Autoglym trim gel is poor as well in my opinion.

If you're going to take it elsewhere. You've got Diamond motors in Long Eaton, near Nottingham or Birchdown in Malpas, Cheshire. https://www.diamondmotors.co.uk/ https://www.birchdown.com/

You can get a new key fob with blank blade from Amazon for £12. You just need to find somewhere that can code it and cut the blade. I've never bought one so can't vouch for the quality. But for 12 quid it's got to worth a punt if you need one...

My 182 has had £4.7k spent just on the bodywork alone in the last 2 years 😮 plus another £400 on the wheels being refurbed, so a grand total of £5.2k. Plus servicing, tyres etc... It soon adds up lol. £3k was through the insurance for a low impact no fault claim. New bonnet, front bumper...

I've tried Infinity wax plastic coat and wasn't that impressed to be honest. Carpro Dlux wipes the floor with it for restoring the colour and longevity.

Same here. My auto wipers have always worked perfectly 👍 I think the auto lights are pretty pointless and they've always been disabled.

Like @Crayola said. Make sure the lug on the back of the pad lines up with the groove in the piston. Your pad looks a bit low down so the bar will never go in. Also file off any s**t or rust on the pad carrier that the bar slides on. Plus the bar that slides under the pad looks a bit battered...

I used to run Rainsport 2s and 3s on my 182. They were a very good tyre as the name suggests in the wet. But I would only ever get about 5k miles out of 2 tyres. I've been running Avon ZV7s for a few years now and I can easily get 10k miles out of a set of 2 now. I've found them good in the wet...

I'll be honest with you. I've never even heard of a P606 tyre 🤔 but looking on Google, it's a proper Billy budget tyre with very poor reviews. I'm assuming it's for a 182? Can I ask why you're looking at such a poor performing tyre?

Watching with interest. Never heard of three A tyres. I've just looked on their website. It's not very easy to navigate or find a specific tyre? I've always used Camskil. There are a plethora of tyres in 205 x 45 x 16 to suit all budgets and requirements.

Is it glass though? Wing mirrors are usually plastic mirrors. @Hollidog . Can you not just pop the mirror glass / plastic out of the actual wing mirror fitting. It'll be easier to polish once it's out of the wing mirror fitting itself.

Have you had Mick try and diagnose it?

I'm assuming when people say their Aux belt tensioner has seized they mean the bush.

I know the feeling mate 🤣

Cheers. I thought so. I just wanted clarification 👍

You're reply was a bit confusing actually after I read it a couple of times. At first you say you're 99.9% sure the bush should be tight in the body of the tensioner. Then you said it should be able to move so it can pivot. I'm assuming it's not supposed to pivot on the bolt, more like the...
