Agree wick.
I would say an under estimate if anything. In the past year the 182 has had over 2k spend on just maintenance with no mods. That's just maintaining great suspension and original performance with the best quality available. To keep a car in tip top shape costs way more than that and...
I always go by; never drive a car you can't afford to buy up front. I've only ever borrowed to buy a car when I have needed to sell my other one but can't be without a car.
I love the PB btw
Started the 182 again today after not running it since it was mended. Lawn mower again :( I got a video of the injector checking for peoples ref. This time it's injector 3. Fantastic! Tempted to repalce the remaining 2 to even them all out.
Please ignore the waterpump noise
Driving in paris is not a nightmare at all. Took the DCI there at the weekend and had no problems at all. At the weekends Paris is asleep around the eiffel tower until about 10am and then it gets a little bussier. No worse than london though.
Road down to Paris (A16) is nearly 21 euros toll but...
rough gauge circa £200 per panel, of course being size dependent. Metallic/solid/pearl all have considerably different costs. Something not quite as bad happened to us recently. A polisher and compound did make it a heap better but those scratches look too deep for that. If you go through...
Just to give a final update. it's MENDED!
Injector 4 was the problem.
My experience has been that the car does not log any codes whilst the eml is flashing. I have had to wait for the problem to develop to a full blown injector death making the EML light stay on solidly. This is when the car...
The misfire got really bad at the weekend. Rs tuner has finally logged a fault with the eml light on constantly. Injector number 4 fault and open circuit. This ties in with the sooty plug on cylinder 4. Ordered an injector so will wait and see.
Champion plugs are the best quality plugs I have ever come across and I believe they are the official renault manufacturer. Currently ngk's are in though and it farting everywhere.
Car is currently stuck at my girlfriends so I'll get it back on rs tuner on Sunday as I need it fixed and ready...
When the EML light flashes it doesn't record codes. I have previously read that it means "the car knows there is something wrong but there isn't a code to match the probelm" how true this is I am unsure. Mine was flashing and no codes were recorded though. I will have to check this again tomorrow
mine is doing exactly the same

I've ruled out leads and plugs, coilpack. All thats left are injectors and pre-cat lambda
Tried the leads and there was no change. between sets. They rules them out then :)
I'm completely down on a cylinder now if not more than 1. Was fine again and then completely went. Sounds like a lawnmower on steroids and has NO power. Chocking its self. I'm not getting any exhaust pops. I've...
Search?
1) Droning could be a number of things. Does it increase with engine revs or is it related to speed? Does it happen when in gear?
2) Get a 3m kit, there are loads of reviews on here. One in the guides section and several thousand on youtube. 3m do a kit and so do meguires. It is also...
There are also a number of other explanations for this. Plugs, lambda or leads. I would start by taking the throttle body off and cleaning it, taking out the plugs and giving them a brush off with a spark plug brush (£3 from halfords)
This kind of job is very easy and if you can tie a shoe...
This is standard "Something bad happened so something must be wrong"
I wouldn't worry at all. Unless it's hit a wire or bent a pipe. Doesn't sound like that's happened so carry on camping
No cat so not worries there.
Here are the plugs from earlier. They aren't in order but the black one is from number 4 (next to cambelt) I notice 1 of them is a touch lean, this one is from the inlet side so I would expect this a touch. Other 2 are somewhere in the middle.
Unfortunately it...
