you realise that most of this thread is from last year and there's more than one situation here?

uch = stuff of nightmares

yeah they got 6 cell batteries inside them. i noticed mine still smelling a long while after i removed it.

arguably the garage should have cleaned anything up, but you really should find out if it's actually leaking first. you're going to look a bit foolish if you turn up and it's not leaking.

is it still leaking from the same place?

on mine i removed the alarm cable via the method above and you could see one of the pins on the big white plug was really rusty up. i opened up the alarm (figured it was dead anyway) and there was a lovely black patch on the circuit board. it also smelt a bit.

i think i'm going to take it to sideways danny or fred for one last diagnosis on the handling. i think if anyone can fix it it's those two.

worms a can of up open ;) it is expensive though. £3500 would get you a decent 182, unless of course you're buying on finance than obviously you'll have to pay a small premium. if you are buying on finance or hp, then the credit company has some responsibility here as they "own" the car.

to reject a car it's usually three to four weeks

What he said. Reject the car under the sale of goods act. If they get funny do it in writing. tell them you've been advised you can also recover out of pocket expenses ie cost of travel to and from location. If you've got home insurance it might include free legal advice if you've paid for it...

or £50 each -clubdiscount +delivery from auto-nation. official ones too, came in renault boxes and everything :)

i know you have to grease the fork, but has anyone done this? looks a nightmare trying to spray white grease in the hole without coating the clutch

may as well charge that now :) i got charged £400 when i had mine done by a non-specialist, is that ball-park?

on here. going rate. i bought one off ebay for £160 too. also my clutch was £50 new for a valeo unit, but again off here and it popped up at the right time. nothing against cliospares, but for breakers in general do consider that they may not have driven the car so they don't know in what...

what he said when my box went i bought a refurbed unit for £250, labour was £400 and then a bit more on new engine mounts (which you may not need). it will be much less than a grand.

I paid £104 for a pair of rear shocks delivered from Autonation last year. Think there may be a discount code in the members section. Renault were £47+VAT each when i checked last year.

it says on the link

shocks should be kosha, i replaced the rears with brand new ones shortly after i got it a year ago as one of the rears was leaking, and the fronts have been replaced with items from a chap on here that had covered 12k miles/ 1 year old. the subframe mounts/bolts seem fine. the second time the...

where did i say it would make it better? three different places have done the alignment, all with hunter systems.

no, it bangs over bumps sometimes so it's not tracking

i've got some eibach springs in my shed but don't know whether to bother fitting them or not. another half a day spent working on the car, i dunno if lowering it would do me any favours in its current state!

likewise to be honest with the solid ones, i wouldn't mind if it had new genuine mounts instead. comfort v performance i guess, which isn't that great when you have handling probs anyway. keep it oem.

i got my top mounts from pure motorsport, £117 delivered http://www.pure-motorsport.co.uk/details.php?itemid=143 you may be able to test if the insides of your rack are too loose- you can tighten up the gear from underneath with an allen key. it may be worth checking your rack bushes/clamps...

mine has improved over the course of time i've been replacing stuff, the biggest improvement seemed to come from fitting solid top mounts. you mention you have done the top mount bearings but how about the rubbers? i've replaced arb bushes on mine so don't worry about doing those. problem is...

i thought it concluded that they were normal? i recall seeing a pic of a brand new subframe that had these holes. i think.

are you referring to those elongated holes that appear at the rear of the subframe?

twice! i bought it in october as a an unused rebuild but it went wrong in december so it was rebuilt again in january i didn't pay for the rebuild so it's not as bad as it sounds, and the second time i installed it with the help of budgie off this forum so it didn't cost much, just a pain in...

I've driven mine before it went wrong :-) Seemed to appear on the back of a gearbox change, but I'm not 100% on that Sent from my ZTE-BLADE using Tapatalk
