8mm square sump plug tool . Halfrauds sell em for a couple of quid .

Sounds like you should get it looked at if your really that bothered . You could always lock in manually with the button .

Do you hear the doors locking at 4mph and does the red led illuminate ? Then its definitely locked .

Yep , sure about it . Its says in the renault manual that if you have the R.A.I.D set to auto " in the event of an emergency it may be more difficult for those assisting you to gain access to your vehicle " .

They always used to have problems balancing my wheels on my old 172 for some reason , weights all over the f*ckin place .

You mean coming out of your hifi ?? You need RCA phono leads . If you have a video recorder connected to your tv then connect the leads to your video and to the aux connections on your hifi then when you select the AV channel on the video recorder for your ps2 , dvd player etc ...you will have...

^^^^ Don't you mean Morecambe ? ^^^^

I'd sell it over there mate and get a right hooker when you get back over here . Plenty available nearly new , still a few new ones knocking about if you search , plus the cost of shipping it over won't be cheap . You could use the money you save from not shippin it over to get a good , mint...

I didn't know it was the spark plugs at the time . It was struggling under 2500 revs , took it to the a local bosch certified garage who found the plugs were f*cked . Renault use NGK PFR6E-10 , about £10 a plug .

With ignition turned on press the door locking button for 5 seconds and you will hear a beep . When you set off the doors and boot will automatically lock when your speed reaches 4mph ( 6kmh ) and the red light on the button will illuminate . To deactive R.A.I.D repeat the process ,hold in...

Renault says the plugs in a 172/182 are good for 72k miles . Mine lasted just over 30k miles in my old mk2 172 . No engine mods and always run on optimax from new .

Try parking on level ground and leaving it for a while . Then see if the " oil ok " light comes on .

^^^^ why not ? ^^^^

If your pads are worn then change em . You'd have to get the car tested on the rollin road again to check if there is still brake imbalance, they might do it for free if you ask em nicely ;)

So if one caliper is working better than the other i.e pulling more efficiently you will have brake imbalance . If the piston is tight , or slightly seized in the caliper then it won't operate like a good caliper would . I'd take the caliper off , leaving it connected to the brake hose , press...

Not in my case i tell thee . Was the caliper , pads were fine .Stripped down , greased , put back together , as good as new and no brake imbalance anymore ;)

Try using something else . I use Bit tornado , happy with speeds of between 100 and 200 :) obviously depending on seeds . If your still gettin slow speeds then maybe your isp is puttin some kind of block on your downloads .

Gorgeous mate :) a bit of hard work certainly pays off . Do you use velcro for your number plate ??

Looks good mate :) Did you spray the engine cover yourself ? Where did you get the 2.0 and 16v stickers from ??

^^^^ totally agree ^^^^ No need to mouth off ! Seems to be some peoples answer to everything . Tell them your problem and you'll get more help than going in with all guns blazing .

When you say recently , how recent ? Like you say , buying from a dealer you " should " have some comeback if anything is wrong . But if quite a bit of time has passed they " might " try and put the blame on you or you could be lucky and get the repair for free . Take it back mate , tell...

http://www.guidetodetailing.com/articles.php?articleId=27 This might help . I touched up a small stone chip on my wing mirror , 100% better than it was , but if you look closely you can still see it slightly . Make sure the area is clean , no wax , polish etc . I washed the area with washing...

Full fat 182 with cup packs

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 !
