people with 172/182 under warranty, what have they said when youve modified certain bits of the car??
have they just said that if you lower it, your suspension is no longer covered under warranty?? or declared your whole warranty void?
that pressure bleeder thing is crap.. cant get a decent seal on it. using all rubber and fibre washers and its still got an air leak somewhere
spilt some brake fluid so been having to mop that off the subframe.
luckily doesnt look like any went on my manifold
grrrr

does that mean if my neighbours got wireless cards they could leach onto my wireless connection?

want to get rid of the standard crap and put this silkolene pro race 2000 in tomorrow
anyone got a guide on how it should be flushed of the old stuff?
know how to bleed the new stuff.
as some of you may have read my 182's been at renault to have some faults fixed..
common alarm fault
knocking when decelerating from like 5/15mph
leather on the steering wheel gone dodgy
and the common brake light switch fault
took the car in at 8am yesterday
ring up at 4.30 pm and...
my brake shave been really poor, fitted some ds2500's and theyr ebetter.. but i just got 1.2 courtesy car and i honestly think this thing brakes better than my 182
i did an hour on a track - could i have cooked the fluid in it?? think im going to have to bleed all the fluid out and replace...
looking for a new laptop.. ideally as cheap as possible..
considering one of these as it seems to fit my needs.. i dont use the computer for games.. i do have a digital camcorder so need room for quite large video files while capturing and editing
anyone know of any better deals on...
tried a search but couldnt really find anything
anyone got one of these on a 182? are they worth the money?? any noticeable power gain? do they make the exhaust louder at alll?
im guessing the emmisions (for mot time) are exactly the same as with standard cat?
does anyone do PROPER remaps of the standard ECU??
i.e. where its run on the rollers for hours while the map is adjusted to get the best from the individual engine.
i know when i was on the pug/cit scene, wayne schofield at chipwizards could remap the standard ECU's and get a very healthy...
what was the mileage when you first changed your 172/182 brake pads??
mines on 19k now and im thinking of changing them. sometimes lately ive come up to junctions and actually been scared that i was going to crash because the brakes have seemed rubbish.
i know the majority are rough and lumpy when their cold (i.e. left overnight) and especially now the weathers getting worse, but ive started noticing mine 'whines' quite a bit when its cold. sounds a bit like its supercharged or something. lol
this happen to anyone else? might just be cold...
anyone got actual part numbers for the ferodo ds2500 pads for both the front and rear of a 182?
also any suggestions of cheapest place to order from?
cheers
best example i can think of is being stuck in traffic, where you will accelerate to about 10/15mph then let go of pedal.. anyway, when i let go of pedal and the car begins to slow down, shortly after then there will be a knock sounding like its coming from the engine bay on the drivers side...
went to fuel up 182 earlier, and the fuel flap was stiff to open and it felt like it was going to brake off..
anyone had the same problem???
its under warranty so may go back to renault garage with it.
was drivign my car the other day, started up for first time in the morning, got to the end of the road and hit my brakes.. a little bit sharply but nothing extreme..
got about 100metres down the road, looked down at the dash and the skiddy car light was on, the ABS warning light, and the SERV...
the 6 disc changer under my seat is a renault one factory fit but i noticed its an alpine changer??
so will an alpine headunit with cd changer control be able to control the 6 disc changer?
will it also be able to retain the stalk controls? (prob need an adaptor?)
was thinking about...
not sure whether to stick with the PE2s or change to toyo proxes or something as been impressed with them before?
or is it best to stick with the PE2s ?
drink driving really isnt good.. i was opening a bottle of coke which had been in my footwell.. it fizzed up and went all over. i felt like id pissed myself
my main concern is the alcantara on the seat.
so i grabbed my coat and began wiping it out, when i got home i got a damp cloth and been...
cup splitter
used the pit, was even a ball ache then.. cant imagine how difficult and annoying it must be doing it singlehandedly on your own with no pit or ramps!
