cracking location! not far from me too :)

I'd not drive the car at all, and call the garage asap Monday morning. Let them take a look at it once you've told them your concerns.

very very nice cars!

all sorted.... for future reference for anyone also doing this... you need to unplug the connector. then remove the grey bulb holder/connector - it just pops off. then unscrew the tiny torx bit in the middle of the cigeratte lighter. then push up and out as hard as you can and the whole lot...

right, i've got the grey connector/bulb holder section off. and the lighter now wiggles in the housing. looks like it should come out from the top but it won't budge! is there any easy way/knack to getting it out?

Any clues on how to do this? Obviously the you take the plug out from the bottom of the ciggie lighter, but then how do you remove the lighter from the housing? I need it for sat nav!

blimey, sounds like quite a bit of work and expense then!

PE2's everytime for me.

aren't 197's 5 stud's anyways?

Re: One Year on & £**** spent Fair enough, I'm hoping there's somewhere more straight forward to cable tie it to for now. How easy did you find it to disconnect the cig lighter from it's surround it sits in?

Re: One Year on & £**** spent Ah so you've disconnected the glovebox and removed that. Pulled the loose wire to the cig lighter up through the gearbox and is it just hanging there or did you secure it? Is there a visible route to get the wiring/lighter up there?

Re: One Year on & £**** spent nice bit of work! quick question..what have you done with your ciggie lighter connection? just done away with it or relocated it?

cage looks smart!

i think the hub cap spanners are all the same, it was the locking wheel nut keys that had different versions. either if someones got a spare one on here, or renault is your best bet.

intercoolers come on turbocharged cars and supercharged ones too. quick google search reveals... http://www.answerbag.com/q_view/79568

About an hour to do, most places will charge £40-50, local independant's that is.

http://www.gsfcarparts.com/ looks like you've got a 182, so find your local branch and give them a call for part numbers: 129RE0480 135RE0050 135VO0100 6PK1660 Done.

not a good look! at least he was alright, it's only money/cars at the end of the day.

Yeah, carpet, maybe the gear surround i'll see how i feel at the time, inner plastic sills.

Nice one lads, cheers for your help. Would you mind leaving the pics up so I can use for reference?

ah good. just to sort what to do with the cig lighter now then!?

So is your OBD port still in place in the car then?

cheers calum :) just waiting on the pic from alex now and i think i'll be good to go ;) edit - he's posted!

That's the one mate! Nice one :)

yeah calum i ment bonnet ;) cheers alex! yeah could you grab a pic of what you mean - particularly the bit about the cig lighter being unplugged? By doing this can it go back in same with the ODB port?

yeah calum i meant bonnet ;) cheers alex! yeah could you grab a pic of what you mean - particularly the bit about the cig lighter being unplugged? By doing this can it go back in same with the ODB port? I say this as I want to remove the surround but still have the need for the cig lighter...

as everyone else has said, standard rears. they do near enough nothing anyways.

cheers robbos, i'll look out for them then. anyone else got any ideas on the other bits to come off?

great write up and well done, nice to see you finish in one piece. good luck at anglesey :)
