And why would the pads cause brake imbalance ? Brake imbalance is when one caliper is working better or harder than the other side i.e not braking at the same rate . It wouldn't matter if one set of pads had 4 mm left on and the other had 7 mm they both would brake evenly if the calipers were...

Microsoft flight simulator is supposed to be good . Had it on dvd for ages and never got round to installing it .

^^^^ that means f*ck all ^^^^ Renault are not exactly sh*t hot at repairs if reading some of the stories on here is anything to go by . And they weren't exactly helpful when he took the car into the garage were they .

My 172 failed on 26% brake imbalance , anything over 25% is a fail .I just took off the caliper , pushed out the piston , greased it with a little copper grease and it past :)

Are from near Blackburn mate ? If so get it up to SAS at guide . He's a bosch main agent but can also check out faults on siemens . He sorted out the problem on my old 172 , turned out the spark plugs were f*cked . He's just on the right hand side , about 100 yards as you go up the old...

Ren customer service is 08000 723372 ask them about AA assistance also , they should sort that out for you as well

^^^^ nice bit of ingenuity ^^^^ Either that or your a tight git ,lol ;) a couple of quid from halfrauds for the 8mm square sump plug removal tool if you don't have a spare door handle knocking about !

Changed mine loads of times and never had that problem ! Every drop drained into an old washing up bowl .

Just unscrew the round plastic cover for the sump plug , not all the tray ! 4.75 litres of oil for a 182 .

11K tops minus your trade in of at least 2K try for 2.5k for yours . Read the small print on the servicing , ask plenty of questions , find out what the free servicing actually covers , does it cover parts and labour ??

^^^^ Not true ^^^^ I bought my new 182 5 weeks ago . I had the option of registering then or taking it home on trade plates , puttin it in the garage , waiting a few weeks and having an 06 plate . I couldn't do without a car for that long so its on a 55 plate with me being the only name on...

Rain x is good stuff driving in rain at night , over 30mph ish you don't need your wipers , halfrauds stuff is the same price but a bigger bottle . Also tried this , when i AG super resin polished my car i did the windows , as well as lookin very clean the water just blew off similar to rain...

Any Dot 4 brake fluid mate some people like to go for more expensive stuff like castrol response or silkolene , but bog standard halfrauds stuff will be ok . If you say your pads are ok the level will most likely be low . Check the cap on the brake fluid bottle , see if its come loose . Just top...

Seems hell of alot of money like ya say , and thats without fitting , £360 + vat on top to get it fitted :eek:

Let us know what you think of the ebc brakes when you've fitted em . I'm thinking of gettin greenstuff ebc pads when these wear down . Had em on my pug 306 and i liked em . Hardly any sh*t on the wheels which is a bonus . Lots of people don't seem to rate em but the latest ones are supposed to...

Seems to be quite a common thing needing to top up the brake fluid . I noticed this on my old 172 , but i also noticed the cap was loose and had leaked a bit of fluid out . Same on my 182 , checked it when it was new and the cap was loose on there also .

Well i hope when you do , you'll be very happy together !

Why would you want two ?? I don't think any of em send faxes , get some extra software for faxing .

Last lot of epson compatibles cost me £36 for 36 cartridges , can't get more reasonable than that :) Print quailty was just as good as the originals . If people want to pay silly money then thats up to them .

Plenty of all in ones at pc world . I think you might need extra software for faxing , i think norton used to do it ? I've always had epson printers cos of the quality , epson scanners are supposed to be good as well so i would imagine the epson all in ones are pretty good . What you have...

You mean your v5 ? Just phone em , give em your reg number and vin number and you get 3 years warranty and 3 years AA assistance from the day the car came into the country . Thats all i had to do .

Imports do have 3 years warranty and 3 years AA assistance , only time they don't is if the car was intended for cyprus of was sourced from holland according to Renault UK !

Welcome to CS ! Clifford do an alarm with remote start add on intellistart 4 that keeps it thatcham approved . But like Has says , might be a problem with the renault immobiliser . http://www.cliffordalarm.co.uk/catalog/index.php?cPath=50 Do a search on google ...

As said above ^^^^^ No window etchings , no locking wheel nuts and alarm . Exactly the same otherwise , made in the same factory . From what i've read on here the renault alarms ain't that good anyway so getttin an aftermarket alarm is better , you get to choose if you want any extra...

Don't know sorry . The paint code for mine was inside the centre cap . Maybe somebody will have a better idea than me how to find the paint code for your wheels . Might be stamped inside the wheel ?? R-jay might know ??? MrBillyUK !

Probably about £25 with wet n dry , filler , paint and lacquer .Plus the cost of the wheel £36 off ebay . Plus you'll have plenty of filler and wet n dry left for future use . Get the filler from halfords not off the website i posted a link to . They sell small tubs . MrBillyUK !

Cheers Rich . Pretty good colour match after i got the paint mixed . Just struggled to get anyone to mix the colour code 205-110 i gave em . And Renault couldn't help in that department either . MrBillyUK !

Lol, nah your ok , don't think i'll be going into business . Have a go yourself , its not that hard , and doesn't cost that much . MrBillyUK !

Cheers :) Final pics look a bit ropey , not the best shed to take pics in ,lol ;) MrBillyUK !

Final results :) MrBillyUK !
