I was suggested to look on ebay for radio codes for my 106. (never thought to look there :S). Anyway, came across a renault service for £5. Not bad really considering dealers will rip you off...

Might just be in my head, but recently I have seen quite a few non cupped 182's around and the exhausts seem to stick out further than my cupped one? Is this a spec thing or just my imagination?:S

I konw a few people complain about the ds2500 squeeling. My question is, when do they experience this squeel? Is it when the pads get hot under heavey braking, or is it at crawling pace when manouvering (if that makes sense)?

Anyone know anyone who can get hold of these?

Anyone know where I can get hold of one? Looked for ages on the net, but nothing! :(

My mates 172-quick was acting funny the other night. Loud whinning noise and would only rev to 4K. Its well over due its belt change, but the engine seems to be ok. Anyway, he was driving round to mine and didn't make it, load noise and no drive. the gear stick moves from side to side as...

I adjusted my handbrake this weekend, but now the light is always on even when the handbrake is down. Have i over tightened it? I have slackened it off considerably, but light is still on. The rears aren't engaged as the wheels spin. (one spins more than the other, but the part where the cable...

Had the car jacked up at the rear yesterday so put the car in gear. It was left like this over night. Lifted the front up and then did the rear and front lines. Once i finished, i took the car out of gear, turned it on, and the front disks turned. WTF? I even once i depressed the clutch it...

Anyone know where to get them from? Or are they farely uniform? For some reason my 182 hasn't got any.

Not sure if this is the right section, but here we go. Decided to get a 106 diesel. Anyone got any words of wisdom. Problems to look out for etc? Its going to be for commuting to work (70mile round trip) to keep miles of the 182. Only looking at spending around 500quid. What they like to...

Whats the best grease for these? When i dismantled the caliper and regrease with multi purpose grease the boots seemed different. Should I have used silicone based grease for this?

Anyone know what the difference is? Got some VHT matt black last night for the calipers, but its half the price of actual caliper paint. What makes it more expensive?

Having ordered a full brake change all four corners, i'm looking at changing the fluid to castrol. I want to clear the resevoir as the current fluid is full of crap. I know you're not supposed to fully bleed the system and i'm not too keen on pumping all the crap through the system really. Is...

.... i'm bitting the bullet and buying my parts for upgrading my brakes tomorrow. I'm looking for a set up which will suit general day to day, fast road and occassional track work. The items i'm set on so far is; Brembo HC GSF (if they do them :S) New rear discs from Ktec Standard rear pads...

Took the car into get the wheel balanced the other day and noticed that the jacking point is really bent. Can they be replaced? If so, is it an easy job?

Just rang GSF for a quote on some HC brembo and they said they dont stock them? Are the brakes on the webby for the 2.0 16V definately Brembo HC?

I'm looking at doing my brakes soon. Would the haynes manual for 01-04 clios be best of the general brakes guide?

My current OEM discs have major rust issues round the edges. As i'm looking at getting Brembo HC next is it possible to protect the edges of the discs to prevent this, or are the HC's less prone to rusting?

Anyone know the part number for this? cost?

It won't eject and wont play. It makes the noise like it's trying to eject, but nothing happening. Says 'No CD' on the dash. Any ideas?

Had the car up on the jack the other day as the heat shield was rattling when revving. So tightened it up and blipped the throttle to see if it had stopped (which it had) and noticed that the joint between the manifold and the cat is blowing. Looks really rusty too. Is this normal?

Are these genuine renault rear discs? Anyone know? http://www.k-tecracing.com/show_product.asp?id=2761

Are the max worth the price tag? I've heard that HC are just as good. Sorry if this is a repost, couldn't find anything in search.

Been getting a wierd whistling noise coming from the direction of the front left wheel. Its like an on/off whistle like there is something catching when each time the wheel turns. Brakes seem ok. Could it be anything else?

As above really?

My mates got a 2000 172, and the battery keeps losing charge. He doesn't drive it very far, so never gets charged much. How long should it take to fully charge a flat battery? or is it fooooked?

I have been reading a few past threads on coilovers compared to springs and dampers. I'm just trying to work out where the cost is though. From what i have read, coilovers have better dampers, adjust the ride height and camber. Is this everything? If that is the case, then why is new springs...

Hi guys, just taken off the rear dampers to ckeck them, here is what if found? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fDFIKe8bQEk They look ok, no leaks, but one of them is very loose when pushed right in (shown on the vid and it makes a noise). both felt the same to push down, and both recoil the...

Whats the difference in the rear suspension set ups? When i've driven the 197 it feels so much more stable. Is the rear axle completely different? or is it independant?
