Saying sorned. Failed its last MOT April 2016 with a massive list of failures and advisories. My bet would be its been scrapped.

I'd avoid a dealership like the plague. Ive had my 182 since new. I took it to the local dealership when the 1st cambelt service was due. It was a clusterfuck from the moment I dropped it off. I had a written agreed price of £499 which was on Renault website at the time. They later removed that...

I'd get it at that price. Like others have said make sure you get the cam seals too. I'd also get oil and filter done and spark plugs. Once it's done and you can forget about it for 5 years 😊 I'm sure Mick will be ok with you supplying the parts as they're genuine Renault.

I used Mick, Diamond motors back in 2015 for full cambelt, aux belt service. I jumped on the train to Nottingham and wandered round the shops. Was a 6 hour round trip for me but worth it knowing it was done right. Now I use Birchdown, Andy and Steve are spot on. It's only a 3 hour round trip...

Welcome. Fellow Arctic owner here, more or less standard except for a Yozza sport exhaust and grams springs. I've had mine almost 16 years and still love it 😊

Avon ZV7s on my 182, no problems when pushing on in the wet or dry and they won't break your bank balance. 😊

It might be worth messaging these. They sell lots of used parts. Maybe they could post to Aus...

Onto a dry or wet wash mitt?

Jack the back end up with the handbrake off . If you can't spin any of the back wheels freely you have a sticking caliper. Also, if one of the wheels is hot after a good drive that's a good indication you have a sticking caliper.

12 year old thread 😉 the op hasn't been on for 10 years.

Yeah he kept me informed with some videos as to what he found and what he'd done. One thing I will say @Darren S is go and see him and have a chat. You'll probably have to wait as he's always busy.

He's in Darwen, so not far from you. He really is a perfectionist and doesn't do things by half. He's a Chinese guy called Sunny Yip. If you tell him Andy with the blue 182 recommended you, he'll know who you mean. Tel. 07809 774275 http://www.auto-spray.co.uk/ I'll definitely be going back...

A couple more pics in the daylight. I'm really pleased with the end result 😊

I had a few quotes and the place I took it was the most expensive. One quote was between £150-£180 😮 another was £340 but the one I went for was £900. I read a alot about this guy and his standard of work. He's a perfectionist. He did a lot more work than he originally quoted me for but he only...

Some stupid cnut of a woman reversed into the nearside rear quarter panel at the end of September. The whole panel was pushed in by about 10mm The cars been in the bodyshop for the past week and a bit. It took longer cos he ended up sacking one of his lads. Anyway. Here are the before and after...

Waiting for the " marring police" 😜 I've been using a clay mitt for years with fantastic results and not once has it marred the paintwork. I'm guessing your product does the same thing. As long as you keep the paintwork well lubed there's no chance of marring.

Something like will do. The old air feeds are made out of some kind of cloth and can rip as they get older. You'll have to reuse the ends that clip into the air box. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/184632052163?hash=item2afced89c3:g:nU8AAOSwkz9gCtfj

Ive been running ZV7s for a couple of years now. Can't fault them in the wet or dry. I used to run rainsport 2's then 3's. They're a good tyre, especially in the wet as the name suggests but I would only get 5 - 5.5k out of a set 😮 I just got 12k out of a set of ZV7s 😊

Just reuse the bolts already on the car. Cut off the wire for the wear sensors. I used to have a Pug 306 with the same pads and they would come with the wear sensors but the car didn't have them.

That's where I jack mine at the front and put the axle stands. You'll need a low entry jack, i have the halfords 2 tonne jack and it reaches easily and the jack handle doesn't hit the car. For the rear jack on the rear beam and put axle stands on the rear jacking points on the sill or axle...

I couldn't tell you how many times it should spin by hand but with mine you could feel when it was spinning it felt rough. It definitely didn't spin 3 or 4 times.

Thinking about it now. I'll bet yours has the resistor integrated on the motor. I had a burning plastic smell last year when the fan was on. It turned out the fan was knackered. I sourced a 2nd hand one from a breakers but it had the resistor built onto a board next to the fan. I just bypassed...

Sounds to me like it could be the heater resistor pack knackered and over heating. It controls the speed of the fan. They can get very hot. Vauxhall had a problem with theirs over heating and the cars setting on fire. If it's in the same place as a 182 it's under the drivers side scuttle. If...

They've shot up in price for some reason. The 2 tonne one is now £165 😮 it was only £130 a few months ago when I bought one. But I have a trade card and had a £20 voucher so it only cost me £84. If you haven't got a trade card, which are pretty easy to get, try and find someone you know who has...

I have to the 2 tonne Halfords advanced trolley jack. Its heavy but not too heavy if you need to carry it. It moves about on the wheels very easily so would assume the 3 tonne version moves the same. Best trolley jack I've ever had and I've had a few over the years.

Strange that. It's let me add to my cart. The owner is on here. @Kev@KAM maybe if he see this post he can help?

When I had a decat on my 182, both lambda sensors plugged in i had no eml for months. I think it came on about twice. I just plugged in a cheap obd scanner and and reset it. No more lights. I don't see the need to have it mapped out if you can reset it for yourself. 😊

Make sure the battery you're going to swap is fully charged. Then I'd give the car a good drive and see if that clears up the problem. At least that way you'll know if it's battery related or not. I dry stored mine a couple of years ago for 7 months without starting it periodically , the...
