When i bought my 182 from new i had top it up a few times in the first couple of months , changed the oil for silkolene at 4k and never needed to bother since . So i'm happy with the silkolene .
Each to their own i guess :)
The clio badge clips into 2 holes . The Renault and sport badge are stuck on with double sided sticky foam .
You can't buy the anthracite paint in aerosols . The nearest match i found was rover storm grey . But i remember Fred saying Audi nimbus grey is a good match .
The part number is the same for both sides 8200072241 . The only differentiating marks are a capital D and the word " plan " on the drivers side badge . On the passenger side badge it has a capital G .
I'm assuming that G = Gauche ( left in French ) and that D = droite ( right in French )
Blue bulbs are illegal mate . What bulbs are you after exactly ? Leds look good in the sidelights .

Pretty common problem the clips snapping on the gaitor . Both mine snapped on my 172 . When i bought my 182 as soon as i got it home i put 10mm cable ties over the clips to hopefully stop it happening again .
Silkolene Pro S 5w-40 for me as well in my 182 , not cheap but supposedly one of the best . I always used Comma Syner-G 5w-40 fully synthetic in my 172 , its only about £28 for 5 litres whereas the silkolene is around £50 , but i got mine cheap from http://www.opieoils.co.uk when there was a...
I've been with flux for years . Never had a problem when i had a claim for a minor disagreement with a motorway crash barrier 2.5k's worth of damage and it was sorted straight away .
Tbh i'd stick with the srp and egp combo . Use a german applicator for the srp or a sonus applicator , it gives a slight cut to the paint , better than just using a normal applicator imo .

How do you go about that then , if you don't know who he's insured with ?
What kind of thing ? A so called mate forcing you into the kerb . Legal cover is for if you end up in court for a serious matter .It will pay your defences bill .
Well as long as the other guy is definitely willing to say it was 100% the other guys fault then i'd give your insurance company a call and explain to them what happened and take their advice on how to proceed .
Oh and if you do decide to use the brake fluid method , do it late at night when...
Tbh mate . I'm not sure how you would claim now after the incident happened 4 weeks ago . It would be a case of your word against his and of course the witness in your car , yours and his mate , who might not want to get involved . It sounds like you've been very reasonable with him .After all ...
Chemical guys xxxx hardcore past wax is good enough imo . Looks good , easy on and off . If your gonna wax your car every couple of weeks then durability isn't really an issue .
I've yet to see a wax that is pure carnauba , typical content is probably around 15 - 30% as it's as hard as iron...
Like al says . I use the microfibre applicators for wax and sealant , not keen on the little yellow foam pads as they are a bit on the small side .
For polish i use either the sonus professional applicator...
Don't worry about buying an import mate . I'm on my second import . They are built in the same factory as cars that were intended for the UK and they are right hand drive . The standard renault alarms aren't that good from what i've read on here and only have an 18 month warranty on them . I...
I got 2 michelin pilot exaltos for my 182 delivered for £151 4 weeks ago from www.mytyres.co.uk . Fitted locally for a fiver each . Took 2 days to arrive :)
I'd never heard of the bonnet catch problem until it was highlighted on watchdog .
I think the people who have or have had any problems with the catch are the kind of people who never open their bonnet to do regular checks i.e screenwash , oil , etc ..... i would say most people on here...
I had exactly the same on my 172 . It was on 30k miles and needed new plugs .It felt dead with no power up until 3000 revs .As you've already changed your plugs maybe it could be your ht leads or coil ??
What plugs did you use ? NGK PFR6E-10 are fitted as standard .
The only time you...
Not mine , but i said i'd post on here for a mate at work .

Would white go grey ? It'll go fuckin black within a couple of days lol . You'll soon regret it as your calipers will look shite . Go for a more sensible colour if i were you .
Loads on ebay mate. Get some before and after pics when you do it , like a couple of days after ;)...
