Probably should go for the full dephaser kit with water pump?

Belt are all now due so I'm looking at what I should be getting done other than timing and aux belt and dephaser, and where is best place to get them please.

No seriously HarvB, under normal driving conditions my car was unsafe and although balanced felt like they were out of round as they caused a bobbling sensation possibly caused by their soft sidewalls. Either way you expect a minimum standard which these are far off

It really is horrendous that they are able to be sold, I was convinced my rear shocks were gone.

Their cost is irrelevant, in the UK a product has to be fit for purpose. They are not.

Those accelera tyres should be banned claiming what they claim on speed rating etc.

Well folks, problem solved! Never ever will I fit budget tyres again! The difference of four matching pzero's if night and day phenomenal, I've got my car back

I will try the dogbone rotation idea, then replace if it makes little difference. I have also done the upper gearbox mount.

Only reason I asked is that I fitted the kangoo top engine mount and that vibrates like crazy. There's no gap between the rubber and the metal U shaped piece of metal

Mine must be gone due to the jerkyness on and off the throttle, not really wanting a vibrating dash so is oe the best and cheapest option? Any idea how much

Rear shocks ordered as well so we shall see...

Ah cheers mate, what am I looking at for full belts and pulleys do you think?

Not meaning to steal a thread but it saves starting a new one, where other the a renault dealer is reliable and near to me on the Herefordshire Welsh border?

Matching pzero's being fitted next weekend and a front / back swap. See how that feels

I'm going in this order- Tyres Front shocks Rear shocks If by the end of that it's not solved I will torch it.

I think I will try and find somewhere with some pzero nero's to match the front, these acelera's get horrendous reviews. If I can't find any locally is there much harm in getting a pair of proxies or something? Used to have them and quite liked them

Yeah it would but it's more that it feels like when you get a supermarket trolley with one wheel that's not in contact with the ground.

No the pirelli have been on the front for 8-9 months, budgets are recent. Basically it pulls badly on surfaces it never used to and yes it understeers through corners requiring additional input, the rear doesnt step out no. Funny you should mention supermarkets because a trolley is what it feels...

It appears to have crept up on me but then I've thought about it so much and done things like new wishbones etc that Ive lost track of it. I'm tempted to do swap tyres front to rear aspect if it's the budgets that should alter the behaviour pointing to it being them. Still think at nearly 80k...

Totally agree with you but tyres, shocks and belts time all at once!

I've had my 182 5 years now and I've never hated it so much. What to do then? I suppose new front shocks could be considered due anyway so I could start there rather than replace new rear tyres.

Yes I've checked tyre pressures a few times, alls fine there. I was thinking of doing a front to back swap to see what difference it made. One thing I haven't mentioned is that I also get a bouncy sensation but not as basic as when one of my rear shocks went, that was horrendous

My front shocks are on 79k so probably shot

Are my settings ok then? Can it really be just my cheapo rear tyres?

Wish I'd never bought those acelera's, real false economy and now I have to shell out on 2 more pzero's

I have cup pack anthracite 182 alloys, what sort of behavior did you get from your acelera's? I wonder if they have really soft sidewalls causing roll through corners?

Totally standard cup packed 182 except for rusty Eibach springs

Yeah my 182. Did my photo of my alignment work? Can't see it on my phone. All that info is lost on me tbh. As is some of the alignment printout, it doesn't suggest what was before/after or ideal readings

Ok so I put the crap tyres on which I now realise was false economy because at the time I wasn't exactly flushed with cash. My bad
