Just want to ask because im unclear my self, if you change the upper gearbox mount do you also support the engine from the sump? or under where the gearbox is?

Just phoned my local renault and for my 182 they want 644pounds and i asked about the dephaser on top and i quote "probably a couple hundred more or less so probably the 850 mark".

Cheers mate ill look into that, yeah i saw the fixed price, the 399 isnt for the sports though? does anyone know what the price is for a 182 at renault roughly, I have one close to me in Enfield, if the price was right id use them i guess.

For the left hand side main engine mount this is Freds quick guide for another person in a different thread for changing the mount Support the engine with a jack and a bit of wood in between, on the sump. do the left side then after with the upper gearbox mount, (someone will have to correct...

Edit: reading over it, i dont mean an invoice... thats what i dont have, theres a written agreement on the sales invoice "car to be cleaned and cambelt changed" and a stamp in the book and thats why im not 100% Anyway so repeating myself but if anyone can give me some advice of anyone local id...

Which mounts are you changing? engine mount and upper gearbox? or lower gearbox (dogbone mount)

Well even though there's an invoice for a cam belt change and a stamp in the book at 44k ish it was with the dealer who sold the car to the previous owner, and being concerned about what was changed, if it was just the cam belt itself, no tensioners or what not and if the aux belt was changed...

From ebay cheap: another battery (not branded and has been fine for the year so far), filter case, another cheap spare wireless remote (again works fine), i already had them but the silica packets to keep moisture away are good, few in the camera compartment and elsewhere (I change them every...

Nah just swap it over, dont leave it out for a stupid time just swap it straight over... not sure if the time period makes any difference anyway.

Coming from a 1.2 its fast for me, Ive just got used to the extra power now, and im always doubting things, but the belts change will put my mind at ease, and with the stainless exhaust and things on i like the feeling of future proofing the car. I knew id have to spend around 5 hundred for the...

Mines on 54k it was bought by the previous owner from a "country dealership" or a similar name, he spent fortunes on the car using Renault for the servicing and everything else, but the cambelt was agreed to be changed at the time of sale, probably by there mechanics, I will see when changing...

To be honest mate im not an expert, but if you ask most they will tell you dont drive it or just get it done asap... a lot of people are driving around cars with original belts for silly K miles, id just take it easy and get them changed as soon as its possible.

Sorry to but in, but also bought the car with a stamp for cambelt but not sure if its been changed so going to have it re done, and cant be sure the propper locking tools where used so will be changing them as soon as possible... In the mean time my engine mount and upper gear box mount need...

You cant lacquer di noc.

Yeah im not sure how the crap in the bottom of the tank thing works, but i know its not a good thing. But I didnt let it run low whilst the engine was running, the car drove there fine it just wouldn't fire up with just jump leads, the battery must have been drained dead seeing as the xenon's...

They do if you have your auto lights on but i dont like them so turned them off.

Not that i want to admit to this but im still beating myself up for being so stupid, I was late for work and I left my xenon lights on (I presume these sap the battery quickly) on for a good 5 hours, In a hurry i jumped out of the car, even looked back as i locked it but the sun stopped me from...

Looking very tidy mate, nice car.

Cheers everyone, I think ill go for the WD 2TB model that has EAR in the model number, Any idea on roughly how long it will take for the price of hard drives to start dropping again?

I was getting 30-31.5MPG when i first got the car driving urban, around town etc, my exhaust was blowing, I used silicone and a new clamp and gained to 33mpg, now with my new exhaust (rs192) im seeing anywhere from 33.5-35.5mpg, happy with the increase, want to give the car a service by myself...

I'm a bit out of the computer knowledge ring at the moment, I need a 2TB hard drive for my media storage, my OS drive is a 500GB IDE drive and current media drive is 1TB sata, so the plan is to transfer the 1tb to the 2tb and use the 1tb sata as my newer OS drive which should be faster i guess...

Couldnt live without mine, always watching tv/films on one and browsing the internet on one, only using a crappy dual DVI 256mb geforce card... just upgraded slightly to a 1gb nvidia card, running 2x 19" Acer monitors on a dual desk mount.. Display fusion is easy to get on with for dual...

The paint drips on the drums add a great effect, does it increase the surface area allowing faster cooling of the drum when braking?

Ive seen you about before mate, silver 182 (could be 172) didnt get a look at the tail pipes, k tec stickers on the boot lid... Just wondering if you post on here.

I had a nassssty rattle and when i had the exhaust changed over the other day i asked the mecahnic to see, the headshield around the silencer was loose, he turned one bolt about half a turn and the rattle has gone, get under the car and check all the bolts are tight.

Lol you went to Renault what did you expect? Why didnt you try and change or test the battery first?

Good video, nice to be able to hear the car rather than just a s**t soundtrack blocking any noise out.

Yeah i might get the gel, seeing as ive run out of Tardis... well i need that too.

PM'd. I hope when your on the phone and quote your forum name... "erm, ilovewilly" goes down well :)

Bilberry, i tried tardis... well i did one coat and ran out, it removed most of the tar, but the rest looks like brake dust on the inside, i think ill give them a scrub up, seal them with rim wax then get them refurbed in the summer.
