But at 78k and 12years might the bushes have had it? saving money is very tempting however but not ifor it's a half job

If these are the right part numbers for a cup packed 182 which I think they are then £50 from Renault Wolverhampton- 8200257956 8200257957.

My ball joints have got a bit of movement that im hoping is what is giving me squirmy handling, is it still a case of replacing the whole wishbone (78k 182 on originals) or just do the ball joints if I can find them separately ?

I was wondering if it will settle, i loosened it then ran the engine, shut it off then re-tightened them. To be honest the trade off for how tight it feels now is worth it. Somehow it feels like a nicer drive all together, its just vibey at idle

Ive just done the top engine mount and pulled the engine forward before tightening the four mount bolts. The problem i have is that ive now got a fair amount of vibration coming through the whole car. Could i have pulled it too far forward?

Top drivers side or gearbox? Like i say the engine when revved seems quite still.

Is a worn mount causing my 182 to jerk when lifting of the throttle? The engine doesnt seem to move about much if revved when stationary but i wonder if its the gearbox mount. If I didnt have man flue Id investigate it but just wondered everyones thoughts

Ive got the usual problem of sloppy steering, I've personally done the rack bushes, inner and outer track rod ends, new tyres and had tracking done. To me it seems the uj in the footwell is worn and on my old 1.8 16v clio I welded it up which transformed it. Can this be done on a 182? If it can...

Although it is stated as 5 years for auxiliary belt, I've read due to a history of failures 3 years is recommended

Flebay, that wasn't meant in annoyance. I thought it was 3 years on an aux belt or 36k not 5yrs. So yeah I'm fine for a while

Yeah i know it's 3 years, I never do 365 in 3yrs which means I always go by the year. Shame the aux doesn't last the same time as a cambelt

I've missed my auxiliary belt change which should have been last year (4 years and 32k since last) do I just get the cambelt done while it's being done. Seems like the sensible thing considering I would have to travel 2.5 hrs to get it done at Diamond Motors unless anyone knows of someone closer...

When I had a phase one I used to wear thermal gloves but if I got them wet scraping ice the left glove sometimes froze to the knob on really cold mornings. Loved my phase one....

They do on my 182 too - not trophy

Could it be the Hu at fault rather than the cable?

Yeah it's a cabasse auditorium tuner list. Stalk only works when I remove and replace the plug in the radio then fails after a day or so along with display. When I remove the radio it's still in place but obviously not working. Very tiring

Could the dodgy connection where my steering wheel radio control plugs into the back of the radio also be affecting my lack of radio display and the intermittent playback of my ipod and cd player? REEAALLY BEGINNING TO CHEESE ME OFF.

Naples red clio 16v M970LAA Iceberg clio ph1 172 Y854NHL Or who owned previously my current car WJ04GKU

I think I will when I've got some spare cash. New tyres are desperate! I went for Pirelli pzero nero,'s. Hope I don't regret shelling out on them, fancied a change from T1rs

Getting new front tyres on weds so will get them checked then

My ball joints look pretty rough and I was going to replace them before getting my tracking done having just put new inner tie rods and ends on. Is it likely that the wishbone bushes are shot as well at 71k?

Brilliant

Cheers, can't seem to find them

Cheers mate

Think I'm going to replace these as they are about the only thing I haven't done, where is the best place to get then and a rough cost?

I believe if the system loses pressure the compressor won't cut in

Well I looked in the footwell and all the cogs were in good order. I'm sure mine has something to do with the compressor because I don't hear it cut in when I turn at on it no clunk and change in engine idle. I've bought a set of air con o rings, think I've got a leak near the radiator

Mine is still hot air only, I think mine is a compressor failure or system leak

I've been replacing a few bits lately, I've done top mounts, rack bushes, inner tie rods and track rod ends but still not got razor sharp steering back like it was. The ball joints seemed ok but I may just change them to rule them out. Wishbone bushes are probably original @70k but couldn't...

Tried again, worked for a day then stopped. Surely I'm not the only one with this problem!
