    182 Artic Blue Darwen...Mr Billy?

    I don't think it was me , might have been , i could have been in a daydream , dreaming of the day when i own a 182 and get rid of this shitty little 1.2 ,lol ;) I've only seen 1 172 cup in Darwen , that was late last year at the bottom of Hollins grove St when i still had the silver 172 ...

    Fcuk me i've met some clowns in my time but you take the Big Red Nose for being King Clown :clown: 1. The head gasket and clutch were on the way out , would have cost more than the car was worth . 2. Because i happened to have alot of spare cash just doin' nothing in my bank account ;)

    How much oil needed?

    Your best bet is to go off the dipstick not the computer for the oil level .

    Blasted by a Pug 306!!!!

    Figures mean jack s**t to me mate . Its on the road that counts , and imho , the 306 S16 is more than a match for a clio 172 / 182 , i've owned all 3 mate , you know what i'm sayin ;) And don't forget , the S16'S are around 12 years old now , so 155bhp was quite a powerful car then , as it is...

    You've owned an S16 Lee ? How did you rate it in terms of performance and handling ? I'd have one again tomorrow if they still sold them new .

    Blasted by a Pug 306!!!!

    Well having owned a 306 S16 , a mk2 172 and now a 182 at least i am in the position to make this statement . And unless my eyes deceived me i couldn't pull away from the 306 S16 .

    Blasted by a Pug 306!!!!

    What year was the 306 ? New or old shape . I had a 306 S16 155bhp a few years ago , standard apart from lower springs and it pulled like a train , with the wider track and longer wheel base , could out handle a 172 imo . I also had a little run in with a 306 S16 a couple of months ago on the...

    Brake discs are fucked

    Re: Brake discs are f**ked Glad to see you got the problem sorted out under the warranty and that Renault have acknowledged that there is a problem with some of the brakes , quite a few people have reported on here that their brakes weren't performing as they should . Could be a big help to...

    How much oil needed?

    You'll be ok to mix it mate . 4.75 litres without the oil filter change . Its a sod to get at so remove the fuel rail cover to gain better access , 2 x 10mm bolts .

    main things to look out for on a 182

    Not much really . One thing that seems to be common is the knocking on full right hand lock that can be sorted by Renault , mine has it but i can't be bothered to let the Renault monkeys hack away at my car . Usual renault rattles , you just have to live with em , mines not as bad as my 172...

    Your thoughts required on this!!!!!

    So i'm assuming he's a mobile guy ? Isn't there any garages in or around Edinburgh that do wheel alignment ? Back to your question . Firstly i would contact the guy and ask him about the extra charge ( no guns blazin' for now ). Tell him that it was his idea that the venue was change and that...

    Removing cam / rocker cover on a 172

    No Haynes manual for the 172/182 engines . Edde e mailed me a pdf for the 172 engine , don't know if it will be any good for you ? Pm me with your e mail address if you want me to send it to you .

    CAT-D Damage? uh?

    If the car was bent as you put it, it wouldn't be allowed back on the road . There was a series not long ago on SKY with Vicky Butler Henderson ,they fixed cat d write offs and put em back on the road for a prospective buyer , they had to go through a very stringent test , chassis , wheel...

    Brake bleeding help

    Its not ideal , a 1 way valve is better but as long as the end of the pipe is under the surface of the fluid in the bottle it should be ok .

    Brake bleeding help

    If your using a pipe with a 1 way valve like edde says you shouldn't have a problem . Ideally though its better if you have 1 person on the pedal and 1 to tighten the nipple when the pedal is down , then there is no chance of any air being sucked back into the caliper . I use a 1 way valve...

    Removing brake reservoir

    Sorry mate i just nipped out . Can't remember off the top of my head but i'm almost certain its a 17mm spanner / socket . Anticlockwise on . On a right handed thread ( normal ) if you think " clock to lock " ! 13mm and 17mm spanners to remove the caliper mounting bracket to replace your pads .

    Removing brake reservoir

    Just tie up the caliper onto the suspension spring so the weight of the caliper isn't gonna damage or kink the brakeline . The bolts for the caliper are pretty tight , better of using a socket rather than a spanner . If its really tight you could try tapping the socket wrench with a hammer to...
