@AndyPembs182 . If you want ease of use, try a farcella G3 clay mitt. Piece of piss to use, takes no time at all to clay your car. Use it after you've washed your car , keep the paintwork wet and there's no chance of marring the paintwork . I know the cleaning gurus will be screaming nooooooo.o_O

I think, from what I've read that different models have the nipple on different sides . I'd be looking at why yours on the offside doesn't work rather trying to change sides . Like I said there could be a break in the wire.

Don't know about your 1.2 expression but on my 182 there is only 1 nipple and it's under the passenger side wing mirror. Maybe you have a break in the wire?

Yours looks to have all the right bits but just looks an untidy mess. I changed my 182's pollen filter a couple of days ago and this is what mine looks like.

I've had my 182 since new and it's always been run on V power or Optimax as it was back then except for 3 occasions when I needed petrol and couldn't find a shell garage. The past couple of years I've been adding half a bottle of Redex petrol cleaner every couple of months. Whether either of...

It might help if you say what model 2009 car you have. When the heater resistor pack gave up on my 182 i had no speed control of the fan , it was either on or off. You can get them off eBay for about 12 quid. I'm assuming your car will have a similar resistor pack. As for your air con I haven't...

Had a few MOT fails and lots of advisories. A few mentioning high emissions and 1 engine management light. Doesn't sound like a cared for example in my opinion.

I doubt dealers will have them now and if they do they'll probably cost an arm and a leg. Why not put a post in the wanted section.

Ahh I see. You're right . For some reason the Sachs dampers does say 52mm on Autodoc and onlinecarparts. Maybe it's worth contacting them to see if there is an error in their advert.

Why not use original parts? They're cheap enough and on sale on www.renaultpartsdirect.co.uk

Same question from me. Just had the alternator replaced so they've had the bumper off. Now the bonnet catch doesn't always work. It looks like the cable is hanging down under the bumper. I can't remember off the top off my head but I always thought it ran just under the slam panel , not low...

Caliper off , BIG hammer , that'll sort it. The spacer washer should be between the hub and brake disc itself , flat face towards the car.

The reason I switched to the Avons was because of you and Stevem rating them ;-)

I am the first owner of my 182 , had it since February 2006 with 8 miles on the clock and it definitely came with the same tyres on the front and rear.

No it wasn't. 182's originally came with Michelin PE2's and would have had the same load rating on front and rear. I've been an advocate of Uniroyal Rainsports for the last few years. Good tyre in the dry, fantastic when its wet. Just the wear rate is pretty poor . I was only getting about 5k...

There's definitely no signs of any rubbing on the belt , the dark patch on the spring is just a bit of s**t.

I meant stored for 9 months not sorted.

More alternator problems. My 182 has been sorted and garages for the past 9 months. First of all it wouldn't start , put an almost new battery on and it fired up straight away. The only problem was it wasn't charging. I could see the connection on the alternator had a fair bit of corrosion so...

Cheers mate. Ordered now.

So this is for a cup packed 182 ? Just want to check before I order them. Only £32.82 each compared to £66.00 from Renault.

I ran 32 on the fronts in very wet conditions for the first few days and was impressed. I dropped down to 30 yesterday and only done about 10 miles but in dry weather, feels like there is plenty of grip. I'm definitely happy I opted for the Avons after years of using the Rainsports.

It's for a hoist to lift the engine out of the car. Nothing missing , that's how they look. https://www.cliosport.net/threads/what-is-this-bracket-for-do-i-need-it.673484/

I went for the extra load . 205 / 45 / 16 87W XL to be precise.

I've never had a tyre ever do that sort of mileage lol . The steering feels more direct now with the Avons. They're on 32psi at the minute on the fronts , I'll drop it down later and try 30 . I wouldn't have bought them if I hadn't seen you and @imprezaworks sing their praises . Cheers for that ?

Just a little update for those who might be interested. I had 2 Avon ZV7's fitted yesterday . The Rainsports were loosing traction when setting off , 6000 miles in and down to about 2mm tread ?My very early impressions of the Avons after 110 miles in wet , rainy weather is they're very good . I...

Mine packed up a few weeks ago . Only the passenger side worked. The ball joint furthest right ( passenger side ) had worn out. Replaced it with a 2nd hand unit and it's been fine ever since .

If he'd only had the car a couple of days and it went titsup It's possible he might be able claim you sold him a faulty car and that you'd partially share the cost of the repair. As he's had it 5 weeks , obviously with no problems or he'd have contacted you sooner then he wouldn't have a leg to...

As others have said . I wouldn't worry about being taken to court . 5 weeks of him ragging it , it's his problem. https://www.which.co.uk/consumer-rights/advice/the-second-hand-car-i-bought-has-a-problem-what-are-my-rights#second-hand-car-bought-privately Second-hand car bought privately You...

Those white clips are usually tight as f**k , maybe the're a bit knackered or broken? I don't know if you've taken windscreen wipers off before ? If you haven't give them a good soak in wd40 and get yourself on of these ball joint separators. If you haven't got one already...
