^^^^ Darwen , lol ;)

Nice pics . Years since i've been up to the Tower ;) http://homepage.ntlworld.com/follies/darwen.html

Nice one . Any idea how much the bottom grill is for the 172 / 182 ??

^^^^ Do you know if it is the standard exhaust or maybe the previous owner fitted and aftermarket exhaust ? Could be the cause of the rattle . Not sure about the temp up n down , could be just a faulty sensor . If your still under warranty i'd take it to your local dealers to find out...

They are 280mm mate !

Still don't like it , don't think i ever will . Much prefer 172 / 182's .

Nice one Ally :) Glad you got it sorted .

I've been using some new products from carwashnwax I'm impressed with the extreme body wash shampoo . I use a lambswool mitt , not a sponge . Use the 2 bucket method , 1 bucket with the shampoo and water in and 1 with clean water which you rinse the mitt out as you go along ...

Don't quote me on this , but i'm sure one is 150mm long and the other 200mm , not sure why ones the longer than the other , it was ages ago i looked at bmc's .

Your probably better off phoning them really . But ithink that one is slightly longer than the other .

^^^^ I think Matt Black is the first website i posted above ???

Try your local dealers , they might sell em , or have a look round a scrap yard and nick one , lol ;) Stick some duck tape over for the time being .

^^^^ Yeah , thats em . The 2 black plastic grommets one either side .Check your spare wheel well also for water . Take out the grommets , silicone sealant around the holes , pop the grommets back in and leave your tailgate open for as long as ya can until the sealant cures .

k+n apollo are a good filter .I'm gonna fit mine next week . Nice sound as well .Check out ebay , sometimes they come up for sale cheapish , otherwise they are about £190 , i was lucky and got a new one for £63 delivered :)

I still think i'm right , sorry mate : Left hand front Right hand front Left hand rear Right hand rear Thats if the car has abs , just looked in 4 different haynes manuals , thats the way i've always done it . But at least we both agree as long as the air is expelled from the system it...

Hope you get it sorted Ally . Ren cust services have always been pretty helpful for me in the past ( touch wood ) ;)

^^^^ Hammerite will withstand the heat , i did mine black , i have a spare set of calipers i'm going to spray silver smooth hammerite .

Hammerite smooth will be ok mate .Better off with the spray you get a better finish . Its about £9.00 a can , keep your eye on ebay , i got 3 cans for just over £20 with p+p . If you can take off your calipers , alot easier to spray off the car . Make sure you get all the crap off your...

I used to change mine every 6000 miles , fully synthetic 5w-40

I'd just give green a call and ask them . I'm pretty sure you'll get one to fit . Tel .01436 678777

Sounds a little weird that Ally . I'm not a rocket scientist but a right hand drive destined for France sounds a little strange to me . I bought my 182 in February of this year from motorpoint . The sales guy told me i had 2 years manufacturers warranty and no AA assistance . So i phoned...

The correct order when doing a full system bleed is : Left hand front Right hand front Left hand rear Right hand rear But to be honest i don't really see this as being that important as long as all the air has been expelled from the system . The size of spanner to remove the brake...

Imports do have 3 years AA assistance . I used em a couple of weeks ago . If you have any questions on warranties or AA assistance contact Renault customer service on Tel. 08000 723372 . Also as said full 3 years warranty ( 2 years manufacturer , 1 year dealer ) on all imports except from...

Like Neil says , remove the engine cover to get access to the brake fluid reservoir down behind the engine on the drivers side . Dot 4 brake fluid , castrol response is good stuff , Halfords sell it , about £8.00 a litre .Just be careful not to spill it down behind the engine onto the exhaust...

5w-40 or 0w-40 fully synthetic is recommended for 172 / 182's and yeah you'll be ok to mix it .

Engine bays lookin' sweet Maz . Always nice to see somethin' a little different . Very red , very niceeeeeeee :) Wheels look the business too , i want em ;)

NGK PFR6E-10 fitted as standard . http://www.sparkplugs.co.uk/pages/pricing/applications/ngk_petrol_car_applications.asp

My old mk2 172 started to run rough under 2500 - 3000 revs , changed the spark plugs and it was good as new . Like ya say stuff Renaults recommended intervals . 72,000 miles is alot before ya change em imo .

I wouldn't say it was dodgy . He just hasn't registered in his name so it won't add a 3rd owner to the log book thats all . Sounds like it was an insurance write off and hes got the car through the insurance company .
