Legend @Ads29! My passenger window didn't go up when I left work at -2 today, it was a fecking cold drive home. Found the guide and had it up in minutes. Just need to find stock of a new switch now!

I have got a rear ARB to fit to my 182. I was thinking of just getting it on some ramps, undoing the dampers, fitting the ARB and compressing the dampers back to line up, bolt in and do it all up nice and tight. Any issues with this way?

Need a CAT quickly for my MOT. Is the cheapo one on ECP/CP4L and good? It's made by React. Or I've heard people mention Klarius, any good? If not, what should I get? I think mine is OEM, so knackered. So this new one is probably to keep on it. I don't want to spend money on a sport CAT either...

I cable tied the crap out of the mounts. Also, the end of the arm has thread in it, so put some large washers on and loctite’d the thread on a bolt.

My plan was to replace the belt, tensioner and idler (all new genuine Renault parts). I'll also check everything spins freely. Not sure how the belt slacking off would cause problems to the internals of pumps etc.

Any thoughts?

My fan belt recently started to squeak, and I'd lost power steering, belt was slack, so ordered a new tensioner & belt. Started with the job and instantly noticed the alternator was loose, the pics speak for themselves, but I've lost both mount bolts for the alternator, and the supporting...

no probs. That was to HW centre...

says 38 mins, plus we'd need to do it, probably not enough.

Are you about today?! I'm about from now till 5ish!

Sure, but I'd like to know so I can just try to find the bit I need or swap it and not mess about...

Fine. pulls through the revs etc. not lumpy at all My mate is coming along (but not track driving) in his 172, so could possibly swap bits about!

Sorry, may help! EML light (bottom right) is flashing at me. Takes 10 seconds after turning on. Also doesn't do it every time I start...

Wondering if a local user can help to read my 182's codes, I've got a trackday on the 29th and no way to get a reader by then! Want to make sure it's fit for use.

yea, a 182. It's poly engine mounts, and exhaust mounts. will try and get some

Bloody thing! A mate 'fixed' this, got it setup nicely and we even done a track day with it. The bush finally came out (held in by cable ties though). So Saturdays track day it was lose and has melted my exhaust. This is with the powerflex bushes too! Thinking of drilling the hanger, taping it...

Yes, 182 with A/C.

Mine has broken, so need to fit a new one. Looking about, they are from £80 to £200. So whats the best one to go for? Stick with OEM? What brand is that?

I thought this was fixed! I've now got powerflex dog bone, vibratech top engine mount and gearbox engine mount, 2 new OEM exhaust brackets and the b*****d is still popping out! I struggle to see how the powerflex ones are going to help keep the mounting arm IN the hole without anything on the...

Comes out from the front on the bonnet near the passenger side. I was looking for my bonnet alarm switch, as my alarm keeps going off...

I got it, there is a bolt the other side. Annoying with everything put back together, but possible!

The centre nut in my gearbox mount (vibra) I've just fitted, just rotates. The torque guide says to do it to 62NM, so I put a wrench on it and it just turns. All other bolts done as the guide, so everything is tight. The middle one here (not my photo)

How am I modifying for the 5mm bolt? I get the R clip, but not that bolt fix.

It's just a stainless exhaust, nothing extra. At least I think! I'll try to get a photo...

Anyone? In my last post, I meant I have the gearbox mount to fit, but worried it'll be too aggressive.

Now need to wait for it to go off again! Happens once every few weeks, typically at midnight!

thanks, is there a guide anywhere? I don't have a manual...

My alarm keeps randomly going off. All windows & doors shut. Last night it happened in heavy rain. Is there anything I can do to test? Only way to lock it for now seems to use the 'lock doors' switch inside and then lock my passenger door (only door with external lock). How/where do I start...

This is annoying. It's still happening after I changed the engine top mount to a Vibra Technics. I can barely move the engine (compared to it moving +/- 2cm before). I have the Vibra Technics gearbox mount too, but wondering if that'll make it even more rattly. It's the (looking at the car)...
