My car had its first MOT at Renault, I think it was £39. It was odd because they passed it with a broken numberplate light and a jammed seatbelt.

Love yor cars zonda, it wont fail if theres no seats or belts in the rear. But the mechanics will probably fill in the recommendations section with stupid comments like 'rear seats missing' etc.

As for the airbag&serv light problem its probably the crap wiring connectors under the seats, give them a fiddle and the lights should go off.

Have you thought about the Renault 5 1.4 gt turbo engine. There was a mk2ph1 for sale not long ago that had the conversion. Maybe as much hassle as changing for a 1.2 16v, at least it would be a turbo.

They're not delicate, as said above they are made out of a tough plastic. They are quite overpriced (around £27 for a pair iirc) for what they are but the are a perfect fit and hold onto the car really well with metal clips and screws.

Ive got the renault ones on mine, there worth having when you see all the crap and chips on the inside of the flaps.

Its pretty common for them to split or for the metal strap holding them on to come loose, ive had it done on mine.

You mean extra rattles :clown: . Another common problem Ive found is the rear headrests jiggle around and make a rattle noise, try wrapping the posts in a bit of black electrical tape to make them tight to stop them moving around.

Yup I agree, thats a write off :( . As for the Suzuki Jimny my gf has one and the handling is absolutly dreadful :S , in 2WD mode they are rear wheel driven and with the short wheelbase, tall height and bouncy suspension Im not suprised someone lost control of one. Was it wet by any chance...

I seem to remember them being £180 and they are ready primed. You have to buy a brake light aswel iirc.

Its probably best to go to your loacal powerflow fitter and tell them what you want. There quietest silencer is a low pitched roar as its what Ive got.

I dont think the alarms are fitted at the factory, they are fitted at the docks when they arrive or at the dealors so thats why the light looks slightly out of place.

I think its normal, its to do with the engine cooling down or something. My dads van does it and my uncles tt.

Its normal it happens from time to time, its to do with a natural phenomenom (sp) to do with changes in air temperature. It can happen in sealed light clusters too.

Wernt a few lhds made for the Swiss market? edit: ^ beat me to it

Yeah isnt there something that doesnt allow 182s to tow, they are not certified for it, Im sure I read it before somewhere on this forum. So it will invalidate his insurance etc

Wasnt it rear wheel drive with the engine in the rear?...... Oversteered and went into an oak tree backwards into a ball of flames?

The car is worth checking (how it runs etc, he may have serviced it himself) for that price, but best to be wary of a performance car with no service history. You dont want to fork out the cash and then the engine goes pop.

Yeah they are the black boxes. They are easy to disconnect, try disconnecting them and see if the noise stops. They look similar to this:

Yeah what he said, do you think the renault dealor did it, or previous owner?

The one with BEN C has a sport badge on the front, he lives near the a447 crossroads somewhere, I used to follow him most days when I went college in Nuneaton. As for the other black 182, theres an old bloke that lives behind the co op (stafford street?) in Barwell that has one.

Theres loads for your car apex do -40 and -60 springs and -40 and -60 in full suspension kits. Eibach do -35 springs. Theres a few other companies that do kits and springs for your car too.

Yup, you cant have the Cup pack with sat nav.

I love your car, you've got great taste dude.

lol, but black ones are faster :clown:

Halford sell the bosch ones for about £12 each I think, but there good blades. As for the rear you have to get one from renault they are £8 Ive got the part number somewhere if you need it. Halfords do sell a small wiper that will fit the back but its not a perfect fit.

I thought mine was clean for 83k! Spill the beans Giles how did you get the throttle bit so shiney? Mine:

Welcome to the club, nice car and one of the best colours.

Looks good Nath and the wheels suit it, very low mileage for a R reg.
