Hammerite smooth will be ok mate .Better off with the spray you get a better finish . Its about £9.00 a can , keep your eye on ebay , i got 3 cans for just over £20 with p+p . If you can take off your calipers , alot easier to spray off the car . Make sure you get all the crap off your...

I used to change mine every 6000 miles , fully synthetic 5w-40

I'd just give green a call and ask them . I'm pretty sure you'll get one to fit . Tel .01436 678777

Sounds a little weird that Ally . I'm not a rocket scientist but a right hand drive destined for France sounds a little strange to me . I bought my 182 in February of this year from motorpoint . The sales guy told me i had 2 years manufacturers warranty and no AA assistance . So i phoned...

The correct order when doing a full system bleed is : Left hand front Right hand front Left hand rear Right hand rear But to be honest i don't really see this as being that important as long as all the air has been expelled from the system . The size of spanner to remove the brake...

Imports do have 3 years AA assistance . I used em a couple of weeks ago . If you have any questions on warranties or AA assistance contact Renault customer service on Tel. 08000 723372 . Also as said full 3 years warranty ( 2 years manufacturer , 1 year dealer ) on all imports except from...

Like Neil says , remove the engine cover to get access to the brake fluid reservoir down behind the engine on the drivers side . Dot 4 brake fluid , castrol response is good stuff , Halfords sell it , about £8.00 a litre .Just be careful not to spill it down behind the engine onto the exhaust...

5w-40 or 0w-40 fully synthetic is recommended for 172 / 182's and yeah you'll be ok to mix it .

Engine bays lookin' sweet Maz . Always nice to see somethin' a little different . Very red , very niceeeeeeee :) Wheels look the business too , i want em ;)

NGK PFR6E-10 fitted as standard . http://www.sparkplugs.co.uk/pages/pricing/applications/ngk_petrol_car_applications.asp

My old mk2 172 started to run rough under 2500 - 3000 revs , changed the spark plugs and it was good as new . Like ya say stuff Renaults recommended intervals . 72,000 miles is alot before ya change em imo .

I wouldn't say it was dodgy . He just hasn't registered in his name so it won't add a 3rd owner to the log book thats all . Sounds like it was an insurance write off and hes got the car through the insurance company .

Iirc they were optional in the 182 . I think the 6 cd changer came as standard in the 172 . I'm in the same boat mate , pain in the arse having to keep changing cd's :(

^^^^ A dab of copper grease on the bleed nipple will help remove it in the future .I know what ya mean , they do snap very easily if they've been overtightened in the past . If they do snap , drill em and use a stud extractor . Stud extractor don't cost much .

If your using Nero . Look along the top . It says " recorder " .Click on this , then select " burn image " , select the folder the image file is in and then just follow the instructions .In the folder you select , you might have to change the selected image from " image files " to " all files "...

You'll be surprised how little fluid comes out , old hose off new hose on , the fluid will leak out but not pour out . Like GavFre says cling film over the brake fluid res helps minimise fluid loss .

I didn't have time to look for this translated page this mornin' i was off to work . Fcuk knows what they're on about but some of the translations are quite amussing , i'm sure its not translated correctly , either that or the Frogs really are mad , lol .

I typed forum auto.com in google and it translated the website if you want to search for the logos in English , lol . http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=fr&u=http://www.forum-auto.com/&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dforum%2Bauto.com%26hl%3Den%26lr%3D%26sa%3DG

Change your hoses first . Then bleed your brakes , keep topping up the brake fluid reservoir as your bleeding the brakes , keep an eye on the level . The idea is , as the old fluid is removed you replace it with new fluid .

Never heard of that before , and can't say as i have ever felt it do it , on my 172 or 182 .

Can't really see a problem with it to be honest . Theres hell of alot worse chaved up cars knockin about out there . Not everyone can afford a 172 /182 , so why be so harsh on somebodys pride n joy .

Does it make a clicking sound when it is working ? On my old 172 mine was clicking like mad , got it sorted under warranty , apparently theres a plastic wheel or something that is weak and snaps and its pretty common . Don't ask me what exactly this plastic wheel is , cos i ain't gotta clue , lol .

Wtf is an abs self test , lol ?? Sounds like it might be the suspension top mount if its on full right hand lock and slow speed . Common problem apparently that Renault know about and should fix under warranty .

I think these are probably about the cheapest . http://www.fastchip.nl/main.php?lang=en

^^^^ As far as i know , its just a matter of unbolting the decat and putting your cat back on when its MOT time , then swap it back after .

^^^^ Chances are it wil fail with your cat back exhaust on , because you didn't actually have a cat on but a decat . Never had a decat myself but its suppose to free up a couple more bhp , plus you could get your inlet manifold ground out , quite a few people on here have had it done and say it...

These sound good mate , a really good deep roar when you floor it . One of the guys on here is selling it , can't remember his name , lol . http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/K-N-Apollo-Air-Filter-172-182_W0QQitemZ8068900550QQcategoryZ36680QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

^^^^ A bit confused mate . Your booked into Top gear , for a powerflow220 but they don't use powerflow ? Is it powerflow or not powerflow ?? All the systems are fabricated on site at powerflow using backboxes , tubes etc that they buy in .... they just make up the system and weld it all...
