Hi Fred yeah BBPT are my nearest place am wondering whether I can get it done under warranty seeing as they just changed the clutch a couple of months back.. Fletch123 where are you based who would be your local specialist? What can you expect to pay to have a cable changed labour an all, roughly?

Fletch ive recently had a clutch changed on my 04 182 it was really smooth for about 1k miles now since this hot weather spell it has gone horrible it is SO creaky and seems notchy one minute then is completely fine the next seems so random but very frequent! I hope it is the cable and not...

Fletch if your paying wouldnt it be better to go somewhere like a Renault specialist bbpt,ktec,rentech etc....... Rob.

BBPT have said and showed me that the 172 shocks have the same bolt spacing so will fit but the angle is different so you would have to upset the camber of the wheel this is correct Oms but because of this problem you could use camber bolts but this IMO is a crude way of doing it, you want...

What BBPT said, and they showed me there is a slight difference in the angle of the bolt holes the spacing is the same as the 172 but the angle is slightly different. What I dont undertsand is renault showed me on there computer that both 172 and non cup 182 have the same part numbers for hub...

Right, over the last month or so ive been trying to get some Koni shocks fitted to my non cup 182. Some may have read my other posts. First of all I went to BBPT who checked and confirmed that the Koni shocks for the 172 doesnt fit my model from this I then emailed ktec who said that they...

Mike to be honest I bought my car from orpington and everytime something went wrong with it and they had it in it came back with more things wrong! One classic example aswell was the universal joint has busted which I didnt know was that took it to them saying there was lots of play in my...

Hi Loony so the cupped 182 definatly has 60mm bolt hole spacing? As above both the 172 and 182 non cup do have the same 58mm spacing but..... From my experience I tried to get the koni shocks fitted to my 182 non cup at BBPT. Andy who owns both a 172 and non cupped 182 said they was different...

Have you had any experience with them Rory? Reliability, durability?? Can they be adjusted accordingly when I get my tracking done from time to time? Im just a little concerned as to how reliable this set up will be for my car? Rob.

This is how im starting to feel mate! Maz and all the non cupped 182 is most definatly 58mm bolt spacing not sure whether that is the difference (bolt spacing) between the cup and non cup?? As I said its the angle of the bolt holes that is different from the 172 so as far as fitting 172...

What is the difference between the non cup and cupped 182 supension fitment? I know for a fact that there is a difference between the 172 and non cupped 182 as ive tried to have some fitted to my non cupped 182.... The angle of the bolt holes I understand for my model and the late 172 is 58mm...

How do the wheels from new come out the factory, powdercoated?? Rob.

Hi Fred they had some measuring tool to measure it all before fitting and from what they showed me there was a slight difference in angle! Hope im making sense?? That was for Koni shocks btw Eibach pro dampers dont fit coz the bolt holes are too small...

Hi edde the non cupped 182 and the 172 are 58mm bolt spacing. Now I know that the shocks will fit but because of that extra angle (2.5 to 3mm) of the bolt holes once fitted the shock will be more at an angle so the camber wont line up properly. Now this can be resolved with camber correction...

Why is it that company's related to this site advertise on there sites, group buys etc that the non cupped 182 is the same fitment as the 172's????? Why is it that Ive gone to another company related to this sight to have some 172/non cup 182 shocks fitted they say they do not fit the non...

I have a cat back Magnex on my 182, not that impressed by it to be honest... The first one I had the baffles went in the centre box after about 5 months so got a replacement one from them. I had my new one fitted yesterday and the left pipe sat lower than the right and was completely off...

Ive just got back from BBPT thinking I was gonna have the Eibach pro dampers fitted to my non cupped 182, turns out they dont fit the RS models! Dissappointed yes! I spoke to GDI and have read posts on here saying they fit the non cupped 182 which turns out is not the case. The bolt spacing...

I have been well tempted by this mod but surely putting stress on the other mounts/bushes isnt good?!? Rob.

Hi Lam7r sorry no advice to give but the baffles in my magnex have gone also only done a few thousand miles with it aswell!!! They have sent me a whole new system now but I have to cop the bill to have someone fit it again!! Are these exhausts actually any good?? Rob.

What clio is it, someone will know what size it is so you dont have to take your wheels off?!

Ive got a new Magnex exhaust and am days away from ordering some shocks for my 182. Normally I would get these done at Elite in Essex but they now only fit products purchased through them now... Has anyone used these recently? Will BBPT fit my stuff for me or do they only fit products bought...

I bought mine from GDI cheaper than what you quoted previous quick delivery too! Rob.

I dont think there was anything wrong with the original clutch I just happened to mention it to the tech when I was having something else done. and He said they could change it coz it used to get a bit juddery once warm thats all really I just thought what the hell get it done! He used to own a...

To be honest mate I am settling to that explanation but I would have thought it would have burnt off when they did the test drive??? I also noticed that on the coil pack looked like it was all wet maybe with oil??

Ive just gone to pick my car up from renault after having a new clutch fitted. As I started my car within a few seconds of start up I noticed some smoke so got out popped the bonnett up and there is smoke coming from the back of the engine I suppose rising from the manifold area. It did...

Im pretty sure its all part of it mate driving straight and cornering!! Obviously a bit firmer all round so will take the lean out of the corners... Rob.

I have a non cupped 182 in the suspension department and have had eibach pros for a while. To be honest you would really want shocks to match as it still rolls a fare bit when cornering drop wise it is noticable and imo looks good. Rob. P.S you will want shocks to match.... :-/ ????

Two 10mm size screws set right back you will need a long extension from a socket set to reach them. There are 3 holes but only the two from the left hand side hold the screws. Rob.

Try the vent at the drivers side if you tap around that area can you recreate the rattle? if its the vent try closing it and tapping it see if it goes thats what mine did!

The book does say 4.75l but I recently changed my oil and put the full 5Litres in and stll on some surfaces the in car level shows it need more 1 extra mark! So I would say a little over 5litres Rob.
