I messaged Febi and they say they don't make one for a 1*2 🤔
Where's the best place to get a dog bone mount for a 182? Do I have to buy genuine? I can't see any on RPDs website.
It was a brilliant little car. I was so impressed. Mpg wasn't much better than the Clio. I found you had to floor the pedal to get it going but once it was going it was a little pocket rocket.
I hate the driving position of the 182 now 😕 that's after 21 years of driving them and being used to...
I've searched high and low on here and on Google, but I can't find a link to a febi dogbone mount. I've lots of stuff about vibratechnics etc.... But I just want the dogbone.
Has anybody got a link?
This was the courtesy car I had for 3 months.
1.0 Fiesta ST line. It was pretty quick for the engine size and handled really good on the B roads.
It makes you realise just how much technology has moved on in past 20 odd years and how slow the Clio is 😳
It also makes you realise what an absolute...
To be honest. There's not a lot wrong with the wheel arch. The guy at the bodyshop was just going to replace it as part of the claim. Same as he replaced the headlight washers for new even though the old ones were fine.
Do you mean the Polish guy on ebay selling for 80 quid and charging £48...
After 3 months. No fault of the body shop it was Renault saying they can still get hold of the offside wheel arch liner.
This is after an insurance claim at the end of March when a little old Lady decided she'd drive round the roundabout the wrong way and hit me head on.
It was a very low...
Never had a problem on my Arctic blue. Keep the paintwork well lubed like i said using a bucket of soapy water and crack on. 👍 It takes no time at all to do a full car. f**k using a clay bar, all that pissing about folding it and trying not to drop it. 😉
Ive used Farcella clay mitts a lot and never had any marring. As long as the paintwork is wet and well lubricated you shouldn't have any problems. It makes a very monotonous job very easy.
You don't need to apply any pressure. The weight of the wet clay mitt is enough to work. I wash the car...
The nearside headlights almost new 😜
The alloy wheels came back yesterday. They look amazing. Better than new. Inside the wheels looks as good as the outside 😊 He sent them to a place in Bolton.
They've had a couple of coats of CarPro cquartz uk 3.0 today.
You're right. The majority of Joe Public will just settle for a payment and be done with it. And they probably don't know their rights.
The body shop my cars at ( the same as last year if you remember) is s**t hot on knowing what can and can't be done. He wouldn't budge an inch when the...
Did you need this patch lead as well as the connects CTSRN500.2? I sent a message to caraudiodirect and they said I need this patch lead but didn't mention the connects2 lead in your pic. My original 182 head unit is the update list version.
This is the rear of my new Sony MEX n7300bd.
All I...
Anybody?
Is this the only lead I need to connect a Sony head unit to keep the steering wheel controls?

I've just bought this Sony mex n7300bd. It's for my Clio 182. I don't know if that makes a difference?
I want to keep the steering wheel controls.
Which lead do I need and where from?
Any help greatly appreciated.
I'd say around £3k. Rust bubbling around the arch will most likely need cutting out and new metal welding in, spraying etc... which is gonna cost a few quid. Then you've got alloys needing a refurb another couple of hundred quid. Plus at least 2 new tyres, possibly 4 if the tyres you say are...
The body shop I use. The guy is s**t hot when it comes to the legal side of insurance claims. Their engineer, from LV tried to knock him down on the price or the repair but he stood his ground and told them that's how much its gonna cost and in the end they agreed.
That's the difference I...
Why would their only option be to strip and repair the current engine? If the OP could source a 2nd hand engine the insurance would pay for that.
I see it all the time on here when somebody has a belt failure. " Just source a 2nd hand engine and fit that".
You have a lot more rights than people...
Apparently everything is available from France. I'm not 100% certain he's replacing both, I think he said he was but can't remember now if he said he was. I'll ask him next time I speak to him. He's definitely replacing the offside arch liner.
You think they'll write the car off because of a scrapped engine? Why would they? It's still economic to repair.
I got front ended 4 weeks ago by a little old lady who joined the roundabout on the wrong side of the road. It was a very low impact collision but its costing her insurance £3k to...
Right rear.

Left rear.

I don't know why there's such a big difference in price for the same brake caliper but opposite sides. Autodoc seems to be like that for some reason 🤔
I just noticed the left rear is out of...
