Thought that was the one from the 172 (dark blue?). Probably me getting confused though

To be fare, that's about 40min worth of driving, so you would expect them to be fubard. Presume you ran the 4 pots on that, but the standard pads probably weren't great. The standard ones just need maintaining on the day really. Don't brake to hard with them or fade will happen quickly (4-5...

There's your problem mate. Not the best pads to be honest. Get some braided lines, castrol super dot 4, discs you have are fine. Ferodo pads are good, although I was speaking to someone who said they leave a residue on the discs (which I've noticed recently), so maybe try carbon lorraine rc5+...

someone fancy explaining axle tramp for me? Only thing I sometimes get in the 182 is while accelerating from start, if the tyres are cold or there is minimal grip the suspension bounces due to lack of traction. Cure=less right foot. FWD cars are pants from standing starts. Physics don't lie :)

Remove the key ring. Press on the back and slide it off. Can be a pain to do, just keep at it

It's fine to remove it mate don't worry

wierd has to be said. Get some cobra ones mate. great build quality and CS discount direct :)

Re: Question about R888's, and what does 88W mean on the tyre, and coilover question As you've said, you might have lowered them too much. I know they have limits on ride height, but you don't need to go to them. Remember suspension needs a range or travel to work correctly. Body roll won't...

5 wheels plus tyres i'd say around £500 mate. If you find the right person. you could put them on ebay but you'll not garantee you're going to get near that.

by longer I presume you mean that you can get more speed in the gear before changing? I suppose for track work though the box needs to have shorted gears? Do you use the diff that comes with the box? Presume the DS are originals too?

That. Press the glass mirror right in at the car side, stick a screw driver in behind it and prise it off slowly. It WILL come off although you'll feel like you're going to break it :S Once off there is 4 clips at the back that you just need to push out and the cover pops off. Takes 5 min once...

its normal mate. does this on the standard suspension. it's the tyres struggling for grip and slipping

:approve:

what's the ratios like in comparision then?

to stop the DS popping out just suppose the hub with something to stop it from falling away from the car. Renault jack or something similar would do. Yeah refitting the hub bolts is a pain to be fare. Just have to keep wiggling and hope it goes in.

salt corrosion ;)

ah right, but still it's basically getting a full respray from what it says there. Nothing majorly visible from the pic. Must be really bad in the flesh. Its a joke that insurance companies would rather just write cars off these days.

Thats what I was thinking. Saying that the steel should still be sufficient to hold the straps in place. On mine the plastic bit is just for show from what I can tell

WTF? all that for rear wheel damage? Someone is trying to pull a fast one me thinks. You got any more pics of all this damage? just looks like the wheel is out, and no paint damage :S

presume you mean mk1 1.9 box? No I mean the DCI box from the mk2. I'm suprised more people haven't swapped as diesel boxs are suppose to be stronger.

have a look in the guide section mate. preusme its the same on most of the models really.

sounds too sensible for renault that :) Anyone fitted this box then?

Come again? did she try riding it or something :S I've got cobra harnesses (think TRS make them) and the adjustment bits in question are metal with plastic around them. How the hell the snap though is beyond me. You'd have to be giving some serious force put it that way.

nice mate. you must be able to get that fixed cheaper than £100 :eek:

Won't work on that bolt. They are a b*****d to get out at the best of times. Copper grease everytime is the way forward. Get the angle grinder on it, just try not to set fire to the seats :(

how the hell can people tell if they are fitted wrong from those pics:S do you have them connected to the seat via the seatbelt rail (B pillar) and the buckle bolt on the other side? should be ok if thats the case really.

look at the poor horn :( any news on this yet rob?

not sure in db. if it's a daily drive id not bother with a decat. to be fare the 182 cat is pretty good anyway, so you're not going to gain too much from removing it apart from a warning light.

how so, you not going to get more usable power lower down the revs? Which box fits straight on steve?

btb, but i'm biased. I'd go for yozza personally as the build quality looks better than the milltek. I've heard a lot of bad reviews on the milltek also.
