    CAM Belt Warning To ALL!

    I'd be giving Renault UK a ring if mine snapped at 4 1/2 yrs, 43k miles . Its a fair bit under their 5 yr / 72k schedule . It's worth a phone call dont ya think ?? You never know , they might contribute to part of the bill . Thats if you've got a full service history to begin with .

    I'd wipe them down with a damp cloth not polish them . They are slippery enough .

    Dealer selling at cost value?

    We're only just over halfway through October lol ,i wouldn't expect them to hit their target sales just yet . It'll be a marketing ploy to get people into their show rooms .

    Been told my cars an import

    ^^^ Well said . It's mainly down to peoples lack of knowledge about imports why they jump on the band wagon and sl4g them off . I saved £1500 on dealer prices when i bought my first import ;)

    What induction kit?

    ^^^ Thats where the oem cold air feed goes anyway . Its no big deal cleaning a k+n air filter . You can buy the cleaning kits and oil to re-oil it . Or just wash it with autuglym engine and machine cleaner , let it dry and then re-oil using k+n oil . Job done

    Been told my cars an import

    My 182 is an import and has both cup packs . As said . It won't come with alarm that Renault fit when it arrives at the import centre and locking wheel nuts . They stopped window etching on later 182's . The Renault alarm only has an 18 month warranty and are often problematic . So get yourself...

    Chipped Windscreen, MOT Failure?

    Like CJ says . If it's in your line of sight and bigger than 10mm it should fail . Anywhere else it shouldn't be bigger than 40mm . http://www.nationalwindscreens.co.uk/mot.asp Take it somewhere like this and let them have a look . They tell you exactly whether it will fail or not .

    Anthracite Paint Codes

    Rover stone grey ;) Peugeot Cossack grey is similar , ever so slightly darker . Also Vauxhall steel grey is pretty close . Like Rich says . Try gettin' hold of the stuff . I've tried a few places trying to get some mixed up and nobody has been able to make it for me .

    172 Oil Capacity. A quick Question

    Like JR says . Its supposed to be 5.1 litres with the oil filter change . 5 litres will be enough as there will be some sediment in the sump . Mine was serviced last week and it only took 5 litres .

    Why not ? It's recognised as a Thatcham Cat 1 system !

    Thinking about an aftermarket alarm

    I got 60 quid off with Adrian Flux when i sent a copy of the certificate . It upgrades the Renault Cat 2 immobiliser to Cat 1 so its called a 2 .1 upgrade , it works with the existing Renault key fob . It has 2 ultrasonic sensors and a glass breakage sensor , so if something metallic is tapped...

    PH2 172 alarm question?

    I wouldn't think you could add on any sensors tbh .They are crap alarms from what i've heard anyway .

    Thinking about an aftermarket alarm

    I have a thatcham approved Toad A850 , with a lifetime warranty fitted to mine , intergrates with the factory fit immobiliser and uses the Renault key fob. £300 fitted by a Toad approved mobile installer . Its the second time i've used this guy and he's bob on . He'll come to your home or...

    CD Changer - 182

    Your probably better off asking the guy you bought it off it it works with the 182's headunit . You'll need the long cable that runs from behind the headunit under the carpet to the changer under the seat . Check under the seat , the cable might already be there , then its just a case of plug n...

    Brake Fluid?

    Standard DOT 4 is fine . I think this esp brake fluid is a bit of a gimmick if you ask me . As long as you have good brake fluid in , changed at regular intervals then that will suffice .At the end of the day ESP is only your cars brakes being applied for a split second if your getting out of...
