My Arctic 182 not long after the rear o/s quarter had been repaired.

I had a 172 years ago and it developed a stutter like yours. If I remember rightly it was up to about 2500 revs then above that it would be fine. It was the spark plugs. Changed them and it was fine after that. So yeah "could" be HT leads or coilpack as you've already changed your plugs.

Looks like a cracking job you've had done. 👍 I used to see people post about rust round the arch and others would say it's probably had some crash damage/repair. Well mine had never had any damage or repair and it was bubbling so maybe its a good idea to put something between the bumper and...

I had quite a bit of work done on the o/s rear in December after some stupid b**ch reversed into my rear quarter. I also had some rust bubbling through where the rear bumper meets the arch. The body shop said the bumper was rubbing on the metal. He ended up cutting it out and replacing it. He's...

I've been Top trumped by @Stevee182 and @hammer 😜

My g/f is on Three but got a new phone on Three through fonehouse. They had better deals on there than going directly through Threes upgrade. She got a new sim and number which she had to use for a week before her old number was migrated over onto her new sim. It was a bit of faffing about but...

16 years is pretty good going 👍

Rusty, damaged, broken ABS ring?

Yeah I know. I'm going to get some plain plates this year.

I doubt there is. I think @Darren S has had his longer. 104k miles on the clock, so not too high mileage.

Picked this up brand new from Motor Point 16 years ago today 😊 Still scrubs up well. Plans for this year are to get all the annoying little car park dents removed. Rear bumper respray,brand new bonnet and wheels refurbed.

Camskill working fine for me.

You have to be very careful and read how they word the advert. They might say genuine in the description but not "genuine Renault". Lots of sellers do this with Brembo brake discs and pads. They'll pair up some cheap discs with genuine Brembo pads. Ive seen some adverts on ebay, and like you...

That's a good price 😊 They're 74 quid a tyre on Camskill and that's cheap compared to other sites.

For some reason there are no Genuine Renault cambelt and aux belt kits for 1*2s. Hopefully it's only a temporary thing and not NLA 😕 @indy . The aux belt kit for a 172 cup is slightly different but the cambelt kit is the same as other 1*2s. You could always email RPD and ask why they're not in...

RPD all belt kits out of stock 😮

Saying sorned. Failed its last MOT April 2016 with a massive list of failures and advisories. My bet would be its been scrapped.

I'd avoid a dealership like the plague. Ive had my 182 since new. I took it to the local dealership when the 1st cambelt service was due. It was a clusterfuck from the moment I dropped it off. I had a written agreed price of £499 which was on Renault website at the time. They later removed that...

I'd get it at that price. Like others have said make sure you get the cam seals too. I'd also get oil and filter done and spark plugs. Once it's done and you can forget about it for 5 years 😊 I'm sure Mick will be ok with you supplying the parts as they're genuine Renault.

I used Mick, Diamond motors back in 2015 for full cambelt, aux belt service. I jumped on the train to Nottingham and wandered round the shops. Was a 6 hour round trip for me but worth it knowing it was done right. Now I use Birchdown, Andy and Steve are spot on. It's only a 3 hour round trip...

Welcome. Fellow Arctic owner here, more or less standard except for a Yozza sport exhaust and grams springs. I've had mine almost 16 years and still love it 😊

Avon ZV7s on my 182, no problems when pushing on in the wet or dry and they won't break your bank balance. 😊

It might be worth messaging these. They sell lots of used parts. Maybe they could post to Aus...

Onto a dry or wet wash mitt?

Jack the back end up with the handbrake off . If you can't spin any of the back wheels freely you have a sticking caliper. Also, if one of the wheels is hot after a good drive that's a good indication you have a sticking caliper.

12 year old thread 😉 the op hasn't been on for 10 years.

Yeah he kept me informed with some videos as to what he found and what he'd done. One thing I will say @Darren S is go and see him and have a chat. You'll probably have to wait as he's always busy.

He's in Darwen, so not far from you. He really is a perfectionist and doesn't do things by half. He's a Chinese guy called Sunny Yip. If you tell him Andy with the blue 182 recommended you, he'll know who you mean. Tel. 07809 774275 http://www.auto-spray.co.uk/ I'll definitely be going back...

A couple more pics in the daylight. I'm really pleased with the end result 😊

I had a few quotes and the place I took it was the most expensive. One quote was between £150-£180 😮 another was £340 but the one I went for was £900. I read a alot about this guy and his standard of work. He's a perfectionist. He did a lot more work than he originally quoted me for but he only...
