Re: sh*t fit, magnex 182!! could someone fix it?
Maz im pretty sure the baffles havent gone again yet coz last time when I revved it stationary there was this awful metalic fluttering noise!
From the moment this new system has been fitted it has been louder than previous much deeper bassier...
Hey Doc im based down south from sidcup actually!!
Hi Fred I know you would do the job well its just that the fuel it would cost to get to you and back again, Birmingham right??

Hi Maz yeah thats the fellow Steve was his name! It just pisses me off that I will have to fork out to get it fitted again, do you think I should contact them again?
Did/does your left pipe stick out further than the right?
My old one never did just this new one...

Darthcake what process do they use?

Im after the silver 182 colour and want it to match the other 2 wheels.....
I dont really understand the difference between the powder coating and just spraying?? My issue is with the laqeur finish...
Im not impressed at all by my slash cut Magnex on my 182...
To start with this is the second one I had in 12 months due to the first ones baffles going.
Now I get the replacement from magnex which seems noticably louder than the first and both pipes stick out further than the last and the...
Ive had them done twice now both by the same dude and both times the laqeur has started to peel away within 6 months!!
This fella was just some cheap refurber £25-£30 per wheel he would prepare the wheel spray then laqeur job done.
What is wrong with this technique?
The first time I phoned...
Hi Fred yeah BBPT are my nearest place am wondering whether I can get it done under warranty seeing as they just changed the clutch a couple of months back..
Fletch123 where are you based who would be your local specialist?
What can you expect to pay to have a cable changed labour an all, roughly?
Fletch ive recently had a clutch changed on my 04 182 it was really smooth for about 1k miles now since this hot weather spell it has gone horrible it is SO creaky and seems notchy one minute then is completely fine the next seems so random but very frequent! I hope it is the cable and not...
BBPT have said and showed me that the 172 shocks have the same bolt spacing so will fit but the angle is different so you would have to upset the camber of the wheel this is correct Oms but because of this problem you could use camber bolts but this IMO is a crude way of doing it, you want...
What BBPT said, and they showed me there is a slight difference in the angle of the bolt holes the spacing is the same as the 172 but the angle is slightly different.
What I dont undertsand is renault showed me on there computer that both 172 and non cup 182 have the same part numbers for hub...
Right, over the last month or so ive been trying to get some Koni shocks fitted to my non cup 182.
Some may have read my other posts.
First of all I went to BBPT who checked and confirmed that the Koni shocks for the 172 doesnt fit my model from this I then emailed ktec who said that they...
Mike to be honest I bought my car from orpington and everytime something went wrong with it and they had it in it came back with more things wrong! One classic example aswell was the universal joint has busted which I didnt know was that took it to them saying there was lots of play in my...
Hi Loony so the cupped 182 definatly has 60mm bolt hole spacing?
As above both the 172 and 182 non cup do have the same 58mm spacing but.....
From my experience I tried to get the koni shocks fitted to my 182 non cup at BBPT.
Andy who owns both a 172 and non cupped 182 said they was different...
Have you had any experience with them Rory?
Reliability, durability??
Can they be adjusted accordingly when I get my tracking done from time to time?
Im just a little concerned as to how reliable this set up will be for my car?
Rob.
This is how im starting to feel mate!
Maz and all the non cupped 182 is most definatly 58mm bolt spacing not sure whether that is the difference (bolt spacing) between the cup and non cup??
As I said its the angle of the bolt holes that is different from the 172 so as far as fitting 172...
What is the difference between the non cup and cupped 182 supension fitment?
I know for a fact that there is a difference between the 172 and non cupped 182 as ive tried to have some fitted to my non cupped 182.... The angle of the bolt holes I understand for my model and the late 172 is 58mm...
Hi Fred they had some measuring tool to measure it all before fitting and from what they showed me there was a slight difference in angle!
Hope im making sense??
That was for Koni shocks btw Eibach pro dampers dont fit coz the bolt holes are too small...
