    Standard 182 Steering Wheel Rubber Problem

    £269 was the last quote I got off renault for a whole new wheel cause it's got the cruise control bits on it. Check ebay - I did and got one off a V6 with black Renault Sport insert and grips in perfect condition for £129 still pricey but cheaper than the dealers. Most sport wheels go for...

    Help 182 no Brake Pressure

    Changed the brakes lines and bleed them again today, feels firmer than they did the other day until the engine starts then they go very slack. You have to push your foot through the floor to stop at slow speed, wouldn't dare take it out on the open road at the minute. Brother in law coming over...

    Catalytic Converter

    My 182 rattled, I thought it was the exhaust. It turned out to be the fuel rail guard at the front of the engine had come loose (the block of aliminium some 182 owners have polished up), somehow it managed to shear the two bolts securing it in place. Don't know if 197's have a similar setup.....

    Help 182 no Brake Pressure

    Hopefully it will have stopped raining tomorrow so I can get the car out change the brake lines and then try the pressure bleed, (using Sealey Automatic Brake & Clutch Bleeder - £11 from Car and Karting in Cramlington for those in the area much cheaper than Halfords) fingers crossed. Luckily...

    Just had someone sugguest a gravity bleed open the bleed screws top up the resevoir and leave it to drain through for 20 minutes recheck resevoir top up then tighten up screws again this should enable you to get pressure back in the system........ anyone tried or heard similar?

    At least got a rough price, with mine there just is no pressure and no braking even at slow speed edging it back in the garage got to chock it so it doesn't roll in to the wall or on to the road when take it out to work on it.

    hopefully it's just air trapped in one of the rear brake pipes thats stopping me getting any pressure, bought one of those bleeding kits that blows the brake fluid through from a pressurised bottle attached to the resevoir thats pressurised from your tyre. Out of interest any one know how...

    ^^ that may be the only option - but will try anything first "Bleed the whole system as said many times up, but follow the next order Rear Right Front Left Rear Left Front Right" Different order always worth a try I know the brakes work in opposit pairs ie front right rear left so...

    Similar feeling although dare not take it on the road as it won't stop. Changing brake lines tomorrow for nice braided orange ones (It's a colour scheme thing) I know you won't see the rear ones however when changing the front the rear need changing as well otherwise tey may become the weak...

    Thats the plan tomorrow was just thrown as normally after five or six pumps of the brake it goes stiff - well this one isn't which makes me think there could be a leak somewhere - will do the spit test around the bits that have been taken off if I get no joy from starting at the back first...

    Done that to check the servo bit push the brake - start engine - brake peddle moves easier, problem is feels as though there is nothing there when the engine is running. Will give it a go in the morning starting from the rear as most on here say and not the way Haynes manual says.

    Gonna give it another go tomorrow from the rear first if that doesn't work will get a vacuum bleed kit and then if all else fails as much as I hate to....... give renault a shout the rip off merchants. For something so simple it's becoming a nightmare.

    Help 182 no Brake Pressure

    There was still fluid in the resevoir so as far as I'm aware it wasn't drained completely as the fluid still came out of the brakes lines when I removed the covers I put on to minimise fluid loss. Only did the front two drivers side worked well even though peddle wouldn't stiffen passenger...

    Help 182 no Brake Pressure

    tried that drivers front seemed to work a treat, then the passenger front is where things just aren't going to plan. thinking of getting a vacuum pump bleed kit so can suck the air and fluid out rather than the good old fashioned way of pumping the brakes as the peddle just is not getting stiff.

    Help 182 no Brake Pressure

    Changed front Discs and pads this weekend on my 182 and while the calipers were off thought I'd touch the paintwork up. Covered the ends of the brake line to try and minimise fluid loss. Still had a nice pool of brake fluid. Any way put everything back together ready to bleed the brakes but...

    Orbisoud Exhaust

    have considered AAS after i saw the vid on Youtube last summer just not got round to checking them out yet but always an option especially if the price is right. :D just wonder if the slight power gains would be similar to other after market exhausts such as ktec, Milltek and Yozza. Doesn't...
