    Non OEM handbrake cables

    I'm all for saving money . Just so long as the parts " fit" and are at least as good a quality as the oem parts . I've seen quite a few people buy none oem handbrake cables only to find that they don't fit :openmouth: so it seems like alot of faffing about when they end up having to buy genuine...

    Non OEM handbrake cables

    They're still available on Renaultpartsdirect. I don't know why people are pissing about , trying to save a few quid buying none oem cables to find they don't fit . Just buy genuine parts and then they know that they'll fit . The ones I bought from Renault weren't colour coded , they were both a...

    Intermittent ABS activation

    Like @JB21 says . Porbably a crack in the ABS ring . I had the same symptoms and replaced it with this . You have to make sure it has 44 teeth. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RENAULT-CLIO-ABS-RING-44-TEETH-2002-ONWARDS-/170533790204?hash=item27b49b21fc:g:EogAAOSwX~dWtKLQ

    Bleeding Clio 182 rear brakes

    Like you say . There's a fine line between it being hard to pump through if you only just crack it open to having it actually come out through the threads . When it does that I try and turn it back ever so slightly so it doesn't go all over the calipers. A bit of trial and error .

    Bleeding Clio 182 rear brakes

    How many times have you pumped the pedal ? Is there a noticeable difference in the pedal feel when the bleed nipples open compared to when the nipple is tightened up ? I've never had this problem myself and know sod all about the abs unit other than if you do have an air lock in there then it...

    Turn off auto-volume changing at speed increase/decrease?

    Yeah after you press expert button scroll through the options with the satellite wheel on the stalk , you'll see Bass , Treble etc ........ until it says " Loud , if yours says " on " then use the + or - on the front of the head unit to change it.

    182 Alternator problem , again

    Took the car to the garage but they're pretty mowed out with work at the minute so I've left it there . He rang the place who supply the alternators and I was listening to him on the phone . They'll come and pick the alternator up when he's taken it off and they'll test it . I showed him the...

    182 Alternator problem , again

    Cheers mate for the advice :up: Just checked after being left overnight and the voltage was 12.46 with the engine running 14.46. The battery and stop light stayed on maybe a couple of seconds longer than notmal then went out . I'll take it to the garage now and see what they say .

    Cheers for the advice , its much appreciated @flebay . But I'm not gonna have 24 hours before I can check it again . I need to get it sorted asap . I'll have to get it to the garage in the morning and see what he says . It's just pissed me off a bit that it's gone again after only 4 weeks...

    182 Alternator problem , again

    Not had any battery issues since it was fitted 4 weeks ago. I just got home ( on foot ) and tried to start the car and it started ok . This afternoon when I was supposed to go and pick my g/f up I literally got a few hundred yards down the road and the battery and stop light came on , so I...

    182 Alternator problem , again

    @flebay . Why would car run fine for 4 weeks then suddenly the batteries not holding a charge anymore? @bashracing . You mean the red cable on the front of the alternator? Thats looks in good condition , no corrosion whatsoever. You reckon I could have bad luck twice in 4 months ? The guy who...

    182 Alternator problem , again

    . . I don't know . There's local company that reconditions them called Ellisons and they come highly rated , on my receipt it says EL1 so I'm assuming they supplied the part . Is it possible they fitted the wrong rating 75 instead of 110 amps ? Would that cause a problem ? Or maybe even the...

    182 Alternator problem , again

    I had an alternator fitted at a local garage back in November. They came recommended by somebody on here and have a good reputation. Fast forward to February 8th , that alternator started pouring smoke from it and all the lights came on the dash. The following day I got the car towed to the...

    Complete electrical failure

    They'll be refurbed / exchange at that price . Mine was £205 supplied and fitted at a local garage . I'm not that clued up on alternators , I understand if you have aircon you'll need the 110 amp version. I haven't got a clue why there's such a big difference in price . Maybe someone else will...

    need new tyres any recommendations

    Can't go wrong with Uniroyal Rainsport 3's imo . Excellent all round tyre for the road , especially in the wet . Go fo the XL with the slightly stiffer sidewalls .

    Complete electrical failure

    I don't know mate to be honest . I was just thinking how similar yours sounds that happened to mine . Like oVerboost said , its could also be your earth or battery .

    Complete electrical failure

    Any smoke from the alternator? My packed up a few weeks ago, burning smell and smoke then everything went off, no electrics at all. I was on my way to work and had to ditch it there until the next day. I couldn't unlock it with the plip, but I could with the key in the passenger door lock...

    Brake pad hardware/shims yes or no?

    I've always left my shims in place , made sure everything was clean when fitting new pads and fitted new shims . I've always had to file away the corners of the backing plate to make the pads move freely . I do put grease on the backing plate as its supposed to help with brake squeal , but I'd...

    Bargain , for something brittle that could potentially last a few weeks / months :wink:

    Cup splitter

    The last time I heard somebody mention a price for an original splitter they were in the region of £165.00 :astonished: either way , £165 or £118 is hell of a bit of money for something that wil inevitably again :wink:
