You'd expect so. I didn't pay loads for the car so if the timing has slipped I'll just sell it on. I was hoping to get it running and cleaned up! No space to swap out an engine unfortunately. I'll check for spark when i get chance, just pull plug and earth to engine whilst cranking? Aye...

Sure does! Belts were apparently done in 2013 on this car so they're due. But suprised for them to have lasted this long if done using tipex! Best way to check? Niall suggested endoscope down the spark plug hole?

Just vents out. Cable tie it towards front of the car.

So I bought another 182 as a little side project but I'm struggling to get it started. When I got it I took off the inlet and and tightened up all the spark plugs as they weren't nipped up, then got rid of all the carbon canister /acoustic valve crap and plugged all inlets. Noticed a HT lead...

What are the chances of that happening when stopped though?

Lambda?

So the centre cap was just on the floor sat next to the nut? Need more info

Was your mate female?

Weird, i even went out my way to smell the fresh stuff I put in and it didnt even smell bad

? I only did it on the rears to match the fronts that someone else did ? Gonna be painting them soon, racing yellow

They have a solid plastic one from factory to be fair but these look better. They're steel I presume?

Sump guard looks ace! Is it genuine renault?

I've never noticed gearbox oil smelling any different to normal oil tbh? And I've removed 40 year old s**t out of an old triumph

Strange it didn't always persist but maybe worth trying a new loom from radio to oem radio wiring.

Where did you buy it from?

Graph the Pre-cat lambda, should jump smoothly from 0.1v-0.8v at idle) It's normal for the Post-cat to read 0.4v constantly, that's how you know it's working. Genuine Bosch lambda?

Did you use new adapters?

It definitely didn't draw any current during the first 12 months of the new unit?

Mine did this, i just contacted a breaker and got a used one. Happens more often with polybushes as they're a little tighter but i've had no problems since replacing it.

Should have had arp bolts done at the same time sump was off! Shame really. Car is looking tidy though, get those grills sprayed up in satin next!

@cb10 needs to update his project thread

You don't have trapped HT leads or something daft do you?

Fitted another brand new genuine lambda after Carl said the other was graphing slowly. Fingers crossed it solves my issue! Noticed the exhaust clamp on the decat wasn't on properly too so straightened that up and retightened, my fault. Also did a buy on another 182 that I'm going to clean up...

Looks good mate. I'll keep an eye out for you in this!

What condition are the shocks in? Sometimes more cost effective to jump straight to coilovers imho. There was a set of near new bilstein b14s on Facebook for £450 the other day.

Hang on, i've never noticed any bulbs for the window switches! That's very cool. I'll have to investigate

Did you change the balljoints when replacing the wishbones? Check the 2 nut/bolts underneath.

Yes mate
