Pirelli p6000, had em on my old pug 306 s16 . Couldn't fault em , fantastic grip , much better than the toyos which were probably the worst tyres i've tried .But i'm lovin the exaltos on my 182 .

I prefer the spray hammerite rather than the brush on stuff , i'd leave it at least 24 hours before driving just in case its still slightly soft , so the brake dust doesn't stick to it .

Is it the original battery ? Maybe you need a new 1 ?

How long are ya moving for ? If its permanent i wouldn't think any UK insurance company will insure you . Usually insurance companies , if they are good ones will insure you for free for a couple of weeks , maybe a month .

^^^^ Agree . You'll never get what the cars worth if you px it mate .Private sale is the only way to go if you don't want to be ripped off . Bang it on autotrader .

Mine used to do this in my 172 . The cd player worked fine but it used to click like mad when i first put the key in the ignition or turned off the ignition ,sometimes longer than others , sometimes it didn't do it at all . I've seen a few people post on here with the same problem . As it...

^^^^ Cheers for that . I did ring 2 Renault dealers a while back ,they wouldn't sell the lead separate and wanted £315 for the changer and lead :( I'll e mail the seller and see what he says .

^^^^ Is that 9 pins ? I thought the update list had a blue 8 pin connection ?

^^^^ Thats what i thought . Just seems the lead are very hard to come by . I'll keep my eye out on on ebay .

^^^^ Cheers . Ive seen a changer on ebay , the guy says the lead is only 25cm , obviously not long enough to run under the seat . Any idea where to get a cheap lead ?

When my old 172 exhaust dropped to bits i rang Renault they wanted about £360 , went to ATS and they could only get one from Renault . So i went to powerflow in Burnley , they knocked me up stainless cat back for £270 fitted , perfect fit , nice sound :)

^^^^ So there are 2 leads ? The one with the blue block 8 pins , is that for the steering wheel controls ? And i would need another lead to connect to the changer ??

I wouldn't say they are rubbish . You just won't get massive gains like people hope or believe and like the manufacturers would like you to believe . At the end of the day the 182 obviously has 10bhp more than the 172 , and the 182 is only slightly faster than the 172 ;)

LNB's are cheap , but like sneeks says , your dish might be just a couple of millimetres out of line which bearing in mind the satellite is 1000's of miles away , so thats why the signal would be weak . If it is the LNB go for one with lower db , 0.6db or less ...

Whether they give any increase in bhp is debatable , eve if they do it wouldn't bevery much so you won't see a massive increase in performance . If you want it to make a nice noise then go for it . I've just fitted a k+n apollo today , sounds sweet ;)...

I wouldn't go down the glass mirror route . You'd be better off with using acrylic mirrors .Its not cheap though . http://www.diyplastics.com/plasticmirrorproducts.htm Do a search on google for either makrolon , polycarbonate sheet or acrylic sheet . We used to make it years ago .It is...

Greenstuff brake pads give off very little dust . You can get em from : https://secure.gsfcarparts.com They are the same pads as the meganes . I think you get CS discount as well . Part number is R64276FG

^^^^ Cheers mate . Appreciate the info , might have a look for one myself :)

I didn't say it was definite , just what somebody on here once said , that the connection on the cabasse ( update ) was different than the older tuner list .

I just fitted a k+n apollo today to my 182 . Sounds really good when you hit 4k revs , only fed the caf down behind the headlight , can't b arsed fcukin around running to the front grill , might do oneday when i have the time and patience .

I think it depends on what headunit you have . The newer 182's have the cabasse update list headunit and as far as i know they have a different lead and connection on the back of the unit from the older tuner list head units . I've heard the leads are £85 from Renault , thats if they will sell...

Doesn't do anything for me . The wheels look good , the Recaros look great but the car looks boring . Not as nice as the 182 imo .

Turtle wax " Wax it Wet " is good stuff when your in a hurry and don't have much time to wash , dry , wax etc ..... Just wash the car , leave it wet , spray in on and wipe over with a microfibre cloth and your done . Leaves the car looking really good , water beads off as good as any of more...

^^^^ Sorry , didn't read all the thread , lol :rasp:

When the windows update box comes up , read what the updates are . If you have a dodgy copy of xp uncheck the box for windows genuine advantage verification , nice way of wording " checking for illegal copy " , lol . If you've already installed it you might be fcuked . I just use a litlle...

^^^^ Nice one . I used to get roughly 28 mpg round town in my mk2 172 and about 36mpg combined with motorway / town . Now on my new 182 i average about 24 ish mainly round town , less motorway miles since i dumped the g/f , lol , but i do drive the 182 a bit harder than i did with my 172 .

^^^^ How much improvement would ya say on your mpg ?

^^^^ Which way do ya go up to the Tower ? The Sunnyhurst route or behind Bold Venture park ?

NTL says everybody " should " be upgraded by the end of June . I've just checked their website and it says i'm on 4mb now . I've just done a speed test and i'm still on 2mb which i'm happy with , never had a problem with NTL and been with em about 3 1/2 years , can't wait for 4mb though ;)...
