Removed the rear bumper from my 182. On the inside of the bumper, the polystyrene parts are held on with some small metal fasteners. Mine turned to dust as soon as I touched them, so would like to replace. Pic below - what are they called? Thanks!

Looking into possibility of running 197/200 Brembo's on the 182. I would be using 280mm discs, and running 15" 2118's, so understand I need 5mm machining off mounting face. I will also be running some spacers. Re pads, I assume just use 197/200 pads in brand/compound of choice. As for brake...

So, today I made a start on the job of swapping over my inlets (have a painted set to go on). Upper inlet easy to remove. Started tackling the lower inlet. Got most of the bolts off now, but still can’t get the inlet off. I also have a engine mount bracket which has been painted; wasn’t able...

In the middle of swapping headlight housings over. How do you remove the headlight level motors? Don’t want to break them!

Quick question guys. My MOT expires in just over a month. Going to try and book it in within next week while I can and MOT’s still taking place. I’ve had warning lights come on last few weeks (ABS, Serv, Traction). They go out when turn car off but will come on again. Likely an ABS ring...

Not mine, just think it is insanely cool! https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F202936138251

Looking into buying a pair of new driveshafts for the Trophy. Always prefer to buy genuine stuff. K-Tec have both sides on their site, but phoned them today, one is about 3-4 days from Renault, the other has no timescale from Renault. Need them within the next couple of weeks (ish) to go with...

So when I bought the car, noticed the right centre air vent appears to be broken in some way. None of the slats are snapped, but they don’t appear to be connected to the slider part as can evidently be seen. Is there a way of replacing these? Is it a dash top off job? I don’t mind taking top...

Just want to double check that these are the correct replacement ball joints for a 182 (with Cup/Trophy suspension)? Pretty sure this is the case as they are the 12mm ones. If I remember correctly, you can get 10mm ones too which are incorrect. Thanks for any help.

Spotted going eastbound M27 towards Portsmouth and then A27. Reg S10 WJK, looked stripped/cage etc. Anybody on here? I was in the daily Golf.

Hi guys, I'm back in a Clio again! Just can’t seem to stay away! I sold the Liquid Yellow 265 Trophy back in December, so I only had it for about 2 months or so (yes I know, I never keep any car more than 2 minutes!). Must admit, I just feel more at home in a Clio. I’m a pretty capable...

Just interested to know if anybody can recommend a good sprayer if I wanted bumper/bonnet spraying for example? In the Hampshire area or fairly near. Would be wanting a very good job therefore fully expecting to pay more than the average place. Thanks

https://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C895781 Firstly, overpriced. But anybody heard of the colour “Black with goldfish effect”? :unsure: 😂

I know SprayShack used to make the smoothed bullets for Ph2 Clio’s but I don’t think they’re around any longer? Are we still able to get smoother bullets from somewhere else or not? Ash

Saw you this morning coming out of Fareham, you were waiting to turn out of junction near Turnpike Tyres. Didn't catch the reg, but car looked nice! I was in the yellow Megane.

Hi guys, I'm back again! Picked up my new car today... kept it RenaultSport and went for a Megane 265 Trophy in Liquid Yellow! @SharkyUK this is what I was on my way to view when I went past you on the A34 on Monday! It is a fairly big spec, some of you might even know or recognise the car...

Went past you today @SharkyUK, I was the guy in the Monaco Blue Clio and put my thumb up when I came up alongside you. Think it was on the A34? Car looked awesome, knew it was you straight away from a little distance as I saw the plate!

Hi guys, Bought a Monaco 172 last week, and getting a noise which I can't quite identify. It is a constant whirring/ticking kind of noise... difficult to describe. Sounds like it is coming from more the passenger side. It increases with engine speed, not road speed (i.e. if I travel at...

Guys, Question re headlights on Ph1 172. I bought a pair of brand new Hella units from Euro Car Parts last week, but returned them due to them being faulty. Basically, the whole internals of the headlights could be moved up and down, almost like on a pivot. I have since purchased another...

Went to put the electric window up on the passenger side this morning, and when it got to the top, I heard a crack/snap, and then the sound of something dropping to the bottom of the door! Pressed the switch to put it down again, and that was ok, but on the way back up, it was not going up...

Can't decide which to go for on my Titanium Ph1? Always liked the Trophy spoiler (had one on both my 182s) but not sure if it is too much for the Ph1? What do you think? Opinions?

Was looking at purchasing an RS stamped lower inlet and upper inlet which have already been shot blasted and painted. However, not sure if the upper inlet is from a 172 or 182. My car is a Ph1 172. If I am correct, lower RS inlet will fit as a straight swap? But are the upper inlets...

So, the Alfa 147 GTA was recently sold. Time to take my full motorcycle test (hopefully next month), but I was also looking for a tidy 182 to get back into for a daily, to run alongside the bike. But instead, came across a Ph1 172 in really nice condition, so I went for that ! Always wanted a...

Hi guys, Was feeling bored so thought I would start writing up a project thread on my current car… an Alfa 147 GTA. Why a 147 GTA? Well, I remember at a young and very impressionable age, my dad coming home one day with an Alfa 164 3.0 V6 Super. The engine was mesmeric, I thought it sounded...

What options are there for fitting Recaro seats in a 182 which did not come with them from factory? If I were to go with Trendlines from a Trophy or ones factory fitted to a 182, what else would also be needed? The other option for me would be Sportster CS, but again, if these were purchased...

Right, hopefully looking for some help with a knocking noise I am getting guys. It has pretty much been there in some way or another for about 6 months, and nobody seems to have gotten to the bottom of it. Car went into Rentech back in September of last year, and was told the nearside...

Around 6pm tonight, come up alongside you and you put your thumb up, was in the yellow 182. Anyone on here?

Was right behind me for about half hour this morning on M27 going eastbound, I was in the LY 182. Anybody on here?

Come across these HT leads and just wondered if anybody has a set and what their opinion on them is? Fair bit cheaper than Magnecor leads and will consider buying some if they are rated well? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/182047081090?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Cheers

Hi guys, Have noticed in my 182 that when I come to a junction and put the indicator on, I go to turn and as I start to straighten up the indicator always cancels before the steering wheel gets anywhere near back to centre. Any ideas why this is? Not a big issue as such but just an annoying...
