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 .
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 .
^^^ 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 ;)
^^^ 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
Down the right hand side you have 2 switches and 1 thumbwheel . The thumbwheel is to dim / brighten the display on your dash clocks .
1 switch has esp written on it . This turns on / off the esp and traction contorl .It always on by default , each time you start the car . When you turn it...
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...
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 .

Take it somewhere like this and let them have a look . They tell you exactly whether it will fail or not .
Nice one . You must be the first in the country to get hold of it in cans :) Is it going to be a standard colour they do now or just a one off ? How much was it ?
Use Rover stone grey . Get a couple of tins of colour and a couple of lacquer . Other similar anthracite colours are Peugeot Cossack grey and Vauxhall Steel grey .
This was a badly kerbed wheel i got off ebay .

I had mine mixed up at local body shop suppliers . He tweeked it abit and added a bit more red to make it match better :)
I did exactly the same lol, with the centre cap in Halfords ;)
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 .
A load of people aren't always right , lol . Adrian Flux recognise it as a Cat 1 system .

TOAD car alarm 850T - Upgrades any category 2 immobiliser to a category 1 alarm and immobiliser. Wide range of security features...
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 .
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...
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...
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...

Here's how i did mine ^^^
1.It needs to be clean and grease free so i used Autoglym engine and machine cleaner , hosed down then make sure its bone dry .
2.Just dip the wet n dry in some soapy water as you go...
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...
