    Knocking whilst at a complete stop??

    Ok so still having an issue with this.... it doesn't seem to have got any worse and still only happens after prolonged use, at low speeds / a complete stop. I was having a look over the car last night and despite everything appearing ok suspension wise, when pushing down on the car, you can...

    Anyone know anywhere for for wheel refubs?

    I recently had mine done through Russ @ Midlands Car Care- he basically refers you to The Wheel Specialist in Wolverhampton and takes a commission from them. No issue with The Wheel Specialist, the wheels were great and their service was good, but I won't be using Midlands Car Care again. Very...

    182 virgin from Devon with a few questions

    Welcome to the forum mate :) I had a Titanium 182, the colour is amazing when clean, love the flake! Here's a pic of mine with the cup spoiler so you can see the difference.... DSC_2598 by tommo1991, on Flickr

    Omp steering wheel airbag wiring

    It could be that a previous owner has had that airbag deactivated- you would need to get it connected to Clip to check for sure. Saves you a job if you have an aftermarket steering wheel ;)

    Pro Speed Exhausts any good

    I've just got back from Cardiff today having had a cat-back system made by Charlie for my Trophy. It sounds great, fits perfectly and from what i can see, it's very well made. It took me three hours to get there, two nights in a hotel and obviously the cost of the exhaust, so it didn't work...

    Engine Management Light on!! Changed lambda sensor, cleared code and still on!! HELP!

    Re: Engine Management Light on!! Changed lambda sensor, cleared code and still on!! H I'm sure your lambda sensors are fine. It's quite normal for it to throw up a fault code for a lambda sensor if you have a misfire. Check plugs, leads, coilpack and injectors.

    Anyone from East Midlands going to CSS?

    I'm meeting a couple of others in Castle Donington at around 8am, which should give us enough time to get to Thrapston services for the convoy there. I'm not sure if Castle Donington is a bit of a detour for you? If so we can always meet you elsewhere

    Detailing Chat & Questions Thread

    Just a quick one guys, out of the retailers of detailing products, who is the most reliable in terms of delivery times? I'm looking to put an order through tonight but need it to arrive on Friday (thought i better give my car a quick tidy up ahead of CSS).

    Anyone from East Midlands going to CSS?

    Are you driving down with anyone yet -Danman- ? There's a couple of us going if you wanted to come with us? I think i met you last year at the Leicester Forest East services....

    Knocking whilst at a complete stop??

    I will try my best mate, i appreciate it's a hard thing to even try and diagnose without actually hearing it. The problem is it can go such a long time without happening that it's hard to capture. I'll give it a try tomorrow anyway, thanks for your reply

    Knocking whilst at a complete stop??

    Thanks for everybody's help so far, given me a few more things to check and research. Any thoughts on a sticking caliper being to blame? The knocking happens immediately after i've come to a stop (when foot lifted off the brake pedal) and then a succession of knocks continues for around 5 - 10...

    Knocking whilst at a complete stop??

    Thought i'd add to this - i'm terrible at explaining things lol! It only makes the knocking noise immediately after i've stopped the car, there's a quick succession of knocks that last around 5-10 seconds and it feels like it's coming from the drivers side front wheel / brakes. It doesn't...

    Knocking whilst at a complete stop??

    CC is more of a ticking/tapping noise isn't it? This is a bit like a continuous clunk and it's intermittent, in that it can go 50/60 miles without doing it once!

    Knocking whilst at a complete stop??

    The "STOP" and "BATTERY" lights flickered on and off a couple of times one morning, but it has only done it that once so I haven't thought anymore of it tbh. Not sure if it could be related?

    Knocking whilst at a complete stop??

    I can hear a bit of a knock/clunking literally just before coming to a stop at low speeds. I wasn't sure if this was because i have OEM pads but no anti-rattle shims, so i've got some of them to pop in and see how it is. However, the knocking when the car has actually stopped happens when my...

    Knocking whilst at a complete stop??

    It feels like it could be brake related if anything. The discs and pads are reasonably new. Fluid was replaced about two weeks ago and it started shortly after that....

    Knocking whilst at a complete stop??

    Nice one mate, may well take you up on that!! Not something i'd thought of, cheers Ben! How do you check it? Although it does sound more like it's coming from around the drivers footwell....

    Knocking whilst at a complete stop??

    Bit of a weird one- I've been experiencing a knocking noise, it happens when braking just before coming to a stop, but then also when the car is completely stationary (even if the engine is off!!). For example, i can be sat at the traffic lights and it will start knocking, it is a continuous...

    The life of... SharkyUK's Trophy

    Sorry to hear about that mate, but at least it was a relatively straight forward and inexpensive fix! Do you know the spec/size of the terminal connector? Mine is in quite badly corroded too so i'm thinking of changing it just to be on the safe side...

    Soon going to be buying a 182...

    Renault state in the service book that oil changes are needed every 12k or 2 years (whichever comes sooner). Most people change the oil every 6k though.
