My Brother and I did my cable last Sunday, I can't really comment on how long it should take, all I can say is next time it will be MUCH quicker, and hopefully I will not suffer so much with sunburn. :rolleyes: All I can say is it was well worth it, as I now have a very smooth clutch action.

I have had one 172 and two 182s, things like tyres and brakes don't seem to last very long. I have just changed my pads, discs and hoses at 10,055 miles. I dont drive hard, but I would prefer confidence in my car's braking ability. One thing I will not compromise on is braking performance...

I remember paying £50 for standard pads at a Renault dealer a few years ago. Discs are going to be £30/£35 plus each. Why go standard OEM when you could get better cheaper? I got Brembo high carbon discs and EBC Greenstuff pads for £94 from G.S.F.

Ooops....should read 05 plate.

Why would you want to ban lusty, who will we take the piss out of then?

Elf Excellium LDX 5W 40 is what Renault would recommend. 5.5 litres would be enough.

Bump.

2005 55 plate (26 months old) FF 182, 10,000 miles.

I need to have my clutch cable changed, I called a dealer who said they would need my car for 3 days, in which time they would determine the problem, order in parts and do the job. I'm 100% sure I just need a new clutch cable, so at the end of the month the dealer needs my car for 3 days to do...

I bought a Stanley bag from Machine Mart. I can fit my P.C. with 20 meter cable, all my pads, polishes, tools, etc. Everything P.C. related I own fits in the bag. There are lots of internal and external pockets, and a top zipper section with more storage. I can't recommend this bag highly...

Seats look great.

There are 2 types Gilmour Foam Gun on Ebay. Apart from the price, does anybody know what the difference is between the 2? They are slightly different in looks and design, is one preferred over the other...

Are you getting new braided hoses aswell? Pads and discs are simple to fit, hoses are little more involved.

Y.H.P.M.

I managed to get Goodridge s/s hoses, Brembo H/C discs and EBC Greenstuff pads for £138.

Option 1 without a doubt. I did exactly the same on Saturday. Where are you getting your parts for £125?

I changed the brake fluid 2 weeks ago with no improvement. I was still on original discs and pads at 9700 miles. My original hoses "felt" like they were expanding under braking.

For the past 2/3 weeks I have had very spongy brakes. I bled the system with no inprovement. So, today I have fitted Goodridge Hoses (thanks RiceRocketUk) EBC Greenstuff pads and Brembo High Carbon discs, aswell as new brake fluid again. All I can say is wow. What an improvement. After just...

Eh??

Cheers edde, I have a 10mm/11mm flared nut spanner, so I should be ok.

I know I will need more than one spanner. I'm asking if anybody knows what size flared spanner I will Need? If you want to know what a flared spanner/flare nut spanner is, click the link...

I'm going to swap my brake hoses over to Goodridge items over the weekend, what size flared spanner do I need to do the job? Cheers, Lee.

Your car does not need a service yet. I would guess that your car will need a service a year from now, when it is 2 years old.

Loving your work old boy.

I borrowed one from my kitchen factory.

How did I manage what?

I have been to Machine Mart this morning, about £50 for a tranny. Screwfix is cheaper, but you will have to add postage. The tranny I have was had by way of a five finger discount;) .

If you sign up to Autopia's own car detailing forum, you will be sent a 10% discount code to use on your first order. I have the other Autopia discount codes, courtesy of 182_blue, 15% only applies to certain products. Best I could get was a discount of 10%. Keep us informed as to how you...

No transformer mate, I already have one. That lot came to £184.46 delivered from U.S. ($347.62) Plus £8.23 for 20 metres of arctic cable, £1.48 for 110V plug and £8.09 for push on terminals and PVC covers to fit arctic cable to P.C. (Push on terminals and PVC covers, 10 of each came to just...

Got my order through this week, ordered last Wednesday, arrived on Monday. I have wired a 20 metre arctic cable straight to the P.C. Just got to find a few victims to start practising on.
