But that's a night-time pic :S Any daytime pics of said lights ?

Like daveski says , check your brake fluid level . It can be an indication that your brake pads have worn to the extent that the brake fluid drops to a low level . So check your brake pads too .

I don't know why it looks so scratched . Like i said before , it must be the flash on the camera picking up the scratches as you can't see them with the naked eye . :S

It doesn't make one bit of difference to how the car runs if the light comes on mate . It's only the post cat lambda sensor . Some people run with it tied up out of the way and a bung in the hole , i've got my lambda sensor in the decat and the light hasn't come on since i refitted it . The...

And 2 months lol

Ring Renault customer services . They'll have a record if it was replaced during the first round of recalls back in 2007/08 . tel : 08000 723 372

I've got Sky 20mb and Virgin 120mb broadband and never had a problem with either . Been with Virgin for over 10 years and in all that time only had about 5 days where i didn't have a service , been with Sky for about 4 years now only time i had an issue was when the router packed up , a...

I do love it , still gives me plenty to smile about . It's showing a few age related marks though now , a few car park dents that need sorting and the dreaded melted steering wheel :( . And other than the odd misfire that it suffered itermittently a couple of months ago in really cold weather ...

Cam and Aux belt was done last January on 34K . I was 12 months off the service schedule i know but i didn't think it needed doing on such low miles . Plus i took advantage of Renaults offer off £499 all in before they withdrew it . They had to honour it though cos i got the quote in writing ...

40K miles that is . Just clocked over today . Had the 182 from new , 7 years and 2 months . No Big costs so far ( touch wood ) other than servicing , new Yozza exhaust a couple of years back , tyres and brakes etc ..... . Still puts a huge grin on my face most days .

I had exactly the same problem when i had my 172 , it would hesitate , judder up til around 2k ish rpm then would be fine above that . No engine management light either . Changed the spark plugs and it was fine after that . It could be your coilpack though , or leads or plugs , obviously they're...

If you saw the size of my fingers and thumbs yeah , pliers were necessary ;) . But screwdrivers and sockets ? lol :rasp:

Definitely worth the upgrade . Mine took about 10 seconds each to pop out . Pulled the pipe off , put some long nose pliers on the end and pushed and out they popped . None of this messing about with screwdrivers and sockets lol .

The tyre walls are a bit softer on the Rainsports . I found running them at 36psi on the front made a big difference .

From my own personal experience . I found the Toyo T1-R's utter shite in the wet , that was on my 172 . Continentals were good but didn't last . On my 182 Michelin PE2's were excellent in the dry and wet but only last about 8k miles . I'm now on my 2nd set of Uniroyal Rainsport 2's , brilliant...

Just been reading your post . You say the problem has gone now ? Maybe the problem was just a loose lead ? And with all the fiddling about you've now put the lead back on as it should be . Just a thought .

Personally i'd use a bolt extractor rather than those screw extractors . If the bolts in that tight it snapped the head off i doubt the smaller screw extractors would be up to the job . You run the risk of making what's left of the bolt worse . Something like these would do it . Or take it to...

What's all this blue / black nonesense ? The interiors on 182's are most definitely grey , grey leather and alcantara seats , grey door cards , grey dash , grey steering wheel . The only bits that are black are things like the cd/radio , door switches , stalks etc .....

+1 . I never knew that either about the 182 cup steering wheels . Ya learn something new everyday eh !

I can't comment on halfords paint for being a good match , i've only ever used their bog standard paints like matt black and their lacquer . Personally i use a local motor factors that mixes paint and puts it in rattle cans and they're always spot on . Maybe check out one local to you or you...

You could either spray them yourself , like i did and quite a few others have . It's not hard to do . Colour code them to your car or go for a different colour altogether or contact sprayshack on here . He sprays just about everything .

Thats probably why it has a maximum and minimum you prick ;)

It should have 205/45/16's regardless of the colour of alloys . The anthracite alloys were just part of one of the 2 cup pack options .

The dealerships won't be pulling a fast one , they won't be footing the bill . Renault are footing the bill .

Of course they'll rebook you in and check it out . It's a Renault recall , they'll be footing the bill not the dealership . Just get it sorted , sooner rather than later . Why risk it ?

Nice one . Keep yopur fingers crossed you get a new catch FOC :D

You're sure you booked it in ? But can't remember when or where lol ? If you have the recall letter just ring your local dealer , get it booked in " again " and make note of the date then turn up . Better than risking your bonnet flying open and potentially writing off your car or worse :S

Your alarm will only tell you if your bonnet isn't actually closed . Not that the catch has actually operated as it should and is holding the bonnet locked in place . Hope you get some joy out of Renault , but i doubt it . Like they've never acknowledged that there is an issue with the steering...

Gutted for ya mate . Hope you can get it sorted . But if the roofs f**ked it's not looking good unfortunately :(

I've always lubricated my bonnet catch on a regular basis . It wasn't showing much signs of rust and i thought it was operating as it should , although on the odd occasion it never popped up as it should . Having taken it in due to the 2nd recall and having a new bonnet catch fitted FOC a few...
