Welcome to CS mate :) Hope you enjoy the car , bags of fun for not alot of money ( unless they go wrong lol ) ;) . If the exhaust is original and on 60K it'll be due to drop off at any minute and without warning :eek: ,they tend to do that on 1*2's . A nice yozzasport exhaust should sort that...
It'll probably be cheaper here . Give them a ring tomorrow .If you pay dealership prices for parts and labour prepare to get your ass raped :quiet:

I'd check the joint between your exhaust and CAT , or exhaust manifold and CAT isn't leaking . Mine is ever so slightly and the lambda level was higher than last year , borderline fail .
Plenty of stuff here about the espace v6 airbox :
Renault Part Codes...
V6 airbox 7700 260 096 (comes with std filter)
rubber strap 7700 267 902 (if needed)
Merlin Motorsport Part Code...
ITG Filter for airbox BH-203...
Hell no. Hate the place with a passion . Try and avoid the place as much as possible , only venture down there when i have to lol ;)
I'm from sunny Darwen :cool:
+1 . Not alot louder than standard with a cat until you give it some beans then it's louder but not ear bleeding loud . If you de-cat it , it is loud tho ;) . Quality is second to none imo .
I dont have any pics of the whole interior . Here are a couple more . The RS coloured justmatz match the arctic blue perfectly . Just brightens up the interior a little rather than the drab looking silver trim .
Got an advisory from Bury Renault yesterday in their 25 point health check that i need a new one fitted , they quoted me £330 :eek: Is it such a ballache of a job when i can a gasket for £22 , £308 labour :nono:
Best colour imo , but i'm biased . Looks funny seeing an arctic interior with silver dash trims . Needs arctic dash trims , gear knob insert and steering wheel trim to finish it off ;)
Oh right . From the posts i read i understood you could use one jack to raise the car , a second jack to support the beam when you took the bolt out then lower the beam and remove the spring .
Is the beam ok to the lift the car with the jack ? Strong enough ?
I've read a few posts about changing the rear spring on a 182 . One jack to jack the car up and a second jack onto the rear beam to support it when you remove the 18mm bolt from the damper .
First question , is it just one 18mm bolt , undo and pull out like the arrow in the pic . Is there a...
Looks ok that , should do tho' as its just been sprayed . Time will tell how long it lasts tho . Could be a new grill on the way in the not too distant future .
My 172 had a cd changer under the seat , the wire is above that . If your having trouble getting your hand under the seat push the seat forward and do it from behind the seat :)
It's a commonish problem , and yeah there is a connector . Some people remove the connector and solder the wire...
I'd give it a key first with some fine wet n dry , 320 grit , then plastic primer ,couple of colour coats then matt lacquer .
