Stripping and cleaning🧼 🧼
Waiting for window regulator to arrive. Rear badges were positioned wrong so ripped them off. Need to get the glue off, any ideas?
A trip to BTT Motorsport RS Breakers in Wigan (picked up:

Latest purchase..
2005 55 plate BG 182 with 107,000 miles. The service history from 2005 - 2016 is Full Renault dealer. So much paperwork with this one!
Cup suspension and cup spoiler. Belts done in 2010 and again with dephaser in 2017 (87k)
Upon inspection it’s been cared for most of it’s...
Thanks matey. Yes kept be busy during lock down. It’s gone to another forum member. I’m back working abroad again next week, providing I can get out the UK/ into EU with no issues!
some of the MOT advisories mentioned shot exhaust mounts. Thought I would give them a once over.
The exhaust was also sat wonky.
Now what else can I fix!
This rust bubble was annoying me, so having a go myself to sort it. If it look Shite when I had finished the body shop will be getting a call.
Ah that’s not far, where in Stockport? I had a RB very similar to yours, stickers included.
There was an inferno, and three titanium’s from memory, It was late last night and on a jog.
Don’t usually bother with spotted posts, however I couldn’t help but notice a new neighbour has moved in 200 yards away, with four 182’s parked on the drive!🤣
Come on own up...
I have spent hours going over the 182 fixing the normal leaking foot wells.
Scuttle drains x 3
Sill drains
Heater matrix seal in scuttle
Bulkhead seal
Front arches, side skirts stripped. I can happily wash the car now, and the footwells remain Dry..
However, dampness starts to form beneath...
...and she is back in business!
Fresh MOT, ABS sensor replaced with a Steering angle reset!
Insured her, all taxed up, and hit the road. She’s mint, sounds wicked, strong pull at 5k.
Going to get the oil changed this week, good to be back again🤠
My 182 washer jets are terrible, and failed the MOT on this among other items.
I’ve took out the bottle, and washed it all out, I have purchased new jets, 2 pumps and new bung rubbers.
However the wiring looks to have been butchered at some point? I seem to have 2 cores (green and white)...
I’ve had a go at tackling the fuel filler area - be kind..
When I dismantled it, it’s clear this was the worst rusted area on the car.
There should be 2 holes holes and a rectangle, however rust had disintegrated it..
I removed the filler cap which ended up snapping..
The old rivets were...
New 520x90mm plate on, I was going to use double sided pads but non were included. So screws it was.
Also fitted new inner tie rods, gaiters and track rod ends. The grill was also missing some clips so had RPD send out new ones. Also purchased engine cover stainless screws off eBay and put them on.
Great work Steve! I’m currently refurbishing my Arctic blue 182, but the efforts you have gone to make mine look poor! Haha
Keep up the good work, and can I ask, is that Goonzquad’s YouTube music playing in the timeframe videos? 🤣
Passenger sill finished off, tried to straighten the jacking point, rubbed off all rust bubbles and treated them, covered over with primer.
Gave the front end a clay bar, removed the plate as a new one is on the way.
Fixed the washer jets and leaking Reservoir too (MOT fail precious time)
Trying to diagnose the ABS/ SERV light, my friends diagnostics pulled up these 3 codes.
Anyone have idea what they refer to, or will I need Clip to pin point further?😎
Some more movement on the 182.
All the interior is back together, seats Bolted back in underneath. Swapped the cat over and sold it to the cat man, not happy with the olive joint so chopping it off and installing a fabricated connector that I made on the flamer project
All new shocks on...
Some more updates on the 182!
Pretty much finished the rear now, bumper is back on. Cleaned up two alloy wheels which were heavily pitted.

Working on OSF arch. New...
