My thoughts exactly. Theres a list of things that need sorting tbh and i know how easy it can soon add up. I will start a project thread for it all

Thanks mate. 147k , 4 previous owners, price was the best part of it... £200 I bought it from a trader who sells expensive cars, he had about 10 teslers in his yard, loads of nissan electric cars and large vans etc. He had took it in part ex yesterday and uploaded it to autotrader yeaterday...

Found one! Just got back from a 300 mile round trip! And what a great find it has been; Clio dci 100 Initiale so it has all the optional extras, xenons, cruise conteol etc and a bonus for me is that its 5 door model which i really wanted I will start a progress thread on this one as theres a...

Discs and pads are delphi. Callipers i believe are genuine refurbished. I know renault dont sell them anymore anyway. Lambda is genuine (bosch). No idea about the speed sensor.

How much time do you think it would take to replace it all? I do agree with you that it probably isnt the cheapest, but i know that before going to this same garage that i always use. Profesional set up, garage is really clean and organised, the owner is friendly and profesional. No back street...

£648 garage bill.... I have been using the 182 as a daily for a couple of months now since selling my qashqai and still not having a replacement for it yet. Desperate to find something asap so i can keep the miles off the 182. There has been a list of jobs building up for a while now so i...

Plus new rear discs and pads needed.

That was for both mate

Cheers lads. Garage can get them for £140 +vat for me so they are sorting.

My rear calipers are siezed so i need to buy new. Where is best to get them? Is it Renault only? Thanks in advance

I did, but now you have me doubting myself as it was early and it is Monday, ha ha. No, im sure the wheel wasnt locked thinking back.

As above, Unlocked the car this morning, and when putting the key in the ignition it wouldnt turn at all to even allow me to start it. The imobiliser light on the dash was flashing red on and off, maybe 2 flashes each second. After locking the car and u locking a load of times, it randomly...

He asked if i wanted to gamble it for £500 but i said no. Not sure what exactly it would be, plus the black smoke i just thought best walk away with all my money back.

And there was black smoke flying out when accelerating too!

Turned out to be a huge waste of time lol! Handed £675 over. Sorted insurance and road tax before we left. Got to the a19, and boom warning lights flashing all over the place!!!! Took it straight back and got my money back. Managed to cancel i surance wothout a fee. Now need to sort road tax...

Haha i know! Im going back up now to collect it!

Went to view the local dci tonight. I didnt take it away. He wanted £700 and i felt it was a bit too much. Had just passed the mot today after he had replaced a ball joint and put a part worn on the rear as the original had a tear in it. I took it for a drive and it felt a bit rattly and the...

Sunroof, but im not too worried by that tbh. I quite like them in a way, and if they leak there is a fix for it which is easy enough to do. Full year mot going on it this week too. Previous mot history from online check is good. Just the usual and nothing concerning.

Found one local thats just gone online. 65, 115k, £700. Looks decent from the pictures though. New front tyres, new battery, cambelt done 25k ago. Black too so a decent colour. Private seller owned for years sonot a trader flipping for profit.

Very true. Not many at all for sale so maybe thats pushing prices up. Tbf, if you get a working one they are brilliant. Pretty much free driving.

Yes, the dci’s are amazing on fuel, plus the £30 annual tax. And they feel so much more powerfull than the 1.2’s.

That looks great, but still pricy. 1.2’s go for nothing but the dci’s are aought after. I had one a year ago which i had owned for a year and only paid £450 for it, but ended up putting petrol in by mistake one night and got rid of it after that. They are amazing when they work properly. My old...

I have looked on their site in the past but no idea how it all works. Do you not need to be a trader etc? And i think you need to pay a fee to join them? Il on a low budget, ideally £600 max. Im using the 182 daily at the minute and want something to use instead of that asap to stop the miles...

Mot July Interior is filthy with a rip inthe seat Has a tow bar fitted too! Which was used for mororbike trailor... Passenger window only goes doen a few inches

Seem impossible to find many of these for sale, but then also hear of people picking them up for £200. What would you say is a fair price to pay for one in decent condition, 100k ish miles ? Found a potential but the seller wants £800.

Good to see your sorted mate. Im getting 32mpg so i think something else needs sorting too!

He wasnt even bothered tbh mate. I was going off ren parts price, offered him the website but he didnt care and just said they could do it for that price

Yes o nline they were coming in at £45ish but i just rang my local place direct and asked them to price match. They can obviously do it so worth a go with your local place.

Thanks mate. Yes, they are nitrile, although i had no idea what that meant so good to know they are the right type. Yes I have the fuel rail gaurd and new nuts ready to go on. Injectors where just under £32 each as I rang euro car parts and asked if they would price match. When i went for...

Another update to make of more diy work on the car, and another problem during the work... First of all, the exhaust needed attention. All of the rubbers had perished causing it to rattle and start to melt the exhaust trims. I also wanted the decat off because im getting old and the droning...
