I've seen this mentioned lately. 8mm round butyl tape. I'm not sure if it was @DomP182 or @RustyMojo...

Rustoleum combi colour is good on metal. Better than hammerite in my option. https://paintersworld.co.uk/2-5l-rust-oleum-combicolor-smooth-black?gclid=Cj0KCQiA4feBBhC9ARIsABp_nbUXdGm9q6VTLArKNRrA1gvPJ1BEhf1Rir8uLkc0z8LIeh2t8FNixh0aAstdEALw_wcB

As far as I'm aware the rear 182 and 182 cup shocks are different. I think the 182 cup shocks are harder/stiffer.

I'm exactly the same. I prefer a heavy clutch and steering. I hate driving a car with over assisted steering. For me the 1*2 is spot on for both.

The clutch in my 182 has always been heavy since new. It's also on 97k ( touch wood it's still got plenty of miles left) I also had a new 172, that too was heavy. I can only assume different 1*2s are all different. I know when I've had hire cars or courtesy cars i feel like I'm gonna put the...

A bit more info here. There's plenty if you search the forum. If you get the new " blue" sensor you also need the new piece of loom. You could try removing it and cleaning it with a bit of sandpaper on the end and see how you go. Good luck. I hope you get it sorted...

Crankshaft sensor? Have a search on here. It's been a common problem for years were a car struggles to start. There's an upgraded version that Renault released with an extra piece of wiring loom. The link is just to show you what the part looks like. It looks like the loom is bought separate...

No problem. I wasn't sure if you knew the difference. Flamers are a nice colour. Looking forward to some pics.

Welcome back. Inferno? I think you probably mean Flame Red, that's the only red colour 172's came in.

100% mate.

What issues are you having with your wipers that you want them to be more efficient? I don't have any problems with my 182s wipers even in the heaviest rain. There's no upgrade as you call it. Maybe you just need better wiper blades?

So you haven't tried to stick your hand under and touch it to see if it is leaking diesel? It'll take you 1 minute to check. It'll fail its mot if its spotted when they test it. I'd be looking to fix it sooner rather later.

You'd think there would be a small puddle. It does look wet though. The only way you'll know is to stick your had on the patch and have a sniff.

Definitely looks wet to me too in the pics. The op needs to get his hand under and touch it and see.

Good luck. I hope you get it sorted. If cleaning the white plug doesn't work maybe try a new battery in your key.

Obviously it won't start if the immobiliser light is on. Try cleaning the white plug as suggested. Just a thought. Do you have a second key? It's worth trying if you do.

Ahhh right. I assumed the car had been left standing not plugged in to a ctek. Does your immobiliser go out when you put the key in the ignition and turn it to position 2 but not try and start it? You should only have 3 lights on in position 2. Stop, handbrake and battery light. The immobiliser...

Flat battery? If its an older, weak battery the recent cold weather might have killed it. Get a multimeter on it. Should be 12.6V if its holding a charge, if its down to 12.4V or less it'll struggle to start or won't start at all. P0300 will probably be injectors. I had the same recently and...

Is Grams your own make? I know you sell Grams springs. I was just wondering as the Philipm exhaust mounts are branded as Grams?

I'm the same as you. I don't think mine sounds bad at all in my 182. I've seen alot of people over the years say the head unit and speakers are crap. I remember years ago one of my front speakers blew in my 172 so I bought one from a 172 cup on ebay. It was alot lighter with a much smaller...

+1 for the Avons. I've been running them for a while after @imprezaworks recommended them. I was only getting about 5000 - 5500 miles from the Rainsports, the Avons are lasting roughly twice as long. They're decent in the dry and wet.

Good luck. Keep us posted. You said the underside of the car is covered in mud. It might just be something as simple as an abs ring caked in s**t.

Good luck. Hopefully the new battery will sort out your problem.

It might do. Like I said before. I've never heard of the immobiliser light staying on continously. Having said that. My 182 died on a supermarket car park. There was no indication there was a problem with the battery, it was the original battery though and 8 years old. It had been starting OK...

I'd try the new battery on the car first. It could just be something as simple as an old battery not holding enough charge and this cold weather will be affecting it even more.

What car is it?

So it never flashes? What does it do when the ignition is off and you lock the car? Ive never heard of the light staying on continously before. Maybe you could get a picture or video if it's visible enough. How old is the car battery?

Is it a flashing red light? That's the immobiliser. That's the only light you should see on the instrument panel when the ignition is off. Can't help with your battery drain. Have a look for user @DomP182 and his posts. You might find some helpful information there.
