Lol?

Welcome - The amount of Oxfordshire CS owners is on the increase...!

I don't think so, I did have to beat the s**t out of the oil filter to get it off though. Where is that sensor in relation to the filter itself?

I'll leave it for a week or so then, like I said, there were no other lights, and there's no Limp Mode or anything (well, there might be, I've only gone to work, which is only 7 miles away, and the car isn't warm enough to really go above that!) so it might well be fine. My only other thoughts...

Thanks mate, I did think it was a bit odd that it would come on after an oil change, I couldn't figure out why it'd do that. I haven't done anything else to the car, but I'll have to get it looked at by a fault reader/diag then :-/

Hi guys, I had a quick search, but to no avail :( Basically, I carried out an oil change on my 182 last night. Aside from the problem with changing the oil filter (it was fastened so tightly during it's last change that a chain strap couldn't remove it, the only way I could get it off was...

Looks rank, IMO. Do not like Saxo's.

Welcome - Just saw this thread. I'm from Abingdon myself, never thought there'd be a race team in this dive!

Now they're even closer to my GF's house! She lives in Egham, so my hopes of saving my money by NOT getting a remap look dashed :(

I did mine this morning before work, started it just after 7am. Was cold, but got it done, could only manage 1 layer of wax though. I kept some clay in warm water, in a watering can, before I needed to use it, so that definitely helped. I did find that Collinite 476 (used it for the first time...

Mate of mine has a 147 GTA, and it's stunning. Love 147's, be it a GTA or not. I never realised they were so cheap!

Was there with the GF's family, at the dog show :( Arrived a minute or two after I did, looked very clean.

Was that a tyre blowout?

Saw a BG182 with a slaughtered front end parked up on the hard shoulder of the M40 Southbound, between junctions 4 and 5. Looked bad, hope it was just the car that was injured!

That looks awesome, really good work there. I really need to get my car prepped for winter, but just can't seem to find the time/weather!

Only ever seen one, and that was on the M25. Not exactly plush with 172/182's round here either, though there are a couple, they are rare (in comparison to other Renaults, and in fact cars like VXR's and ST's)

Hi folks - Is this football / golf thing still going on every now and then? Need to get fit, sounds like my scene - if it's in Staines it's literally 5 minutes from my GF's uni house too! Marc

Opie Oils sell service packs, I've just bought an oil change pack from them, they send you all you need. But I'll echo the above regarding the belts, if you have no concrete proof that they've been changed within the timescales (36k miles / 5 years) then you need to do so ASAP. And when you...

Niiiiice!

The Ratvan is simply amazing, I love it more than the other two!

Not sure what JMS would do, but I can personally vouch for them not taking your car out and thrashing it, if that's what you're worried about. If you're lucky, and go there, you'll see their cars, and you'll understand that they'll have no interest in taking yours out :)

PMSL!

That Valver is utterly amazing. Love it!!

I love how you say the lack of ABS/TC in the snow is a worry for you if your wife is driving, yet you're letting her loose in a RWD car :D

If I was the winner of that £113 million, this would be the FIRST thing I'd buy. That's beautiful.

I was going the other way in my 182, first time I've seen one apart from at the Renault WS, looked lovely on the move!

Well, it was from a non-Renault trader - I asked about the belts, and he said that he thought they'd been done, given it'd had a large service within a year ago. There was a Renault dealer service stamp at around the 5 year mark, but nothing in the service book under Cambelts. He was...

I know what you mean. I bought mine in February for £5,500, and it had no evidence of the belts being done. That was another £500. Since then I've changed the front tyres, bought new exhaust mounts, and I'm about to give it a full oil change. I also want to get a new exhaust, which will be...

I did it once, back in the day when I played WoW. Wouldn't do it again, I'd much rather see some sunlight when I'm not at work these days!
