haha honestly whenever it went wrong it went straight to my mate at a specialist, and yep it isn't cheap, starter motor was 300 alternator was 420 camshaft and dephaser with cam shaft oil seals, new aux belt and all that 1500quid!!! i suppose at that mileage 130k it's normal for parts to start...

you might be right it probably could be an easy fix but i'd be frightened about the diagnostic machine they use, isn't it like 100quid for renault to plug in a computer known as CLIP i heard of before? and yeah i've given up after giving that car so much love, i mean i have decided to cut my...

maybe that could of been a option steve :) i mean i do alot of driving as i work far from home and i mean the car has got 131k on the clock and sometimes i wonder if i got the car up to say around 170k if the engine was to lose compression after so many miles then it would cost me an arm and a...

i know its crazy :( i adore the 182 and i'd keep it if it wasn't so expensive to keep on the road like i said though i will defo buy another one but this time i'd want one in black, just think they look more evil muhahahahahaha imho :)

i been thinking about this and i made my mind up to sell the car as i just can't afford to keep it on the road, after spending nearly 5 grand in repair bills as well as the insurance is more than the car is worth :/ thanks anyway for your help and to everyone who has helped me out with this...

hello all, injectors are spot on, all seem to be spraying and pulsing just fine, going to look at the lambda tomorrow, might be worth sticking a new one on.

i didn't haha, i did try swapping the two sensors round, no change also looking at the scanner the data i was getting from them seem within limits. i thought it might be worth throwing 2 new ones on just incase they was starting to fail but at nearly £80 each from eurocarparts, not sure i have...

ahh sorry mate completly forgot about ya 🙈 the fan has always came on just after half way on the gauge, might be worth swappin my cts as its easy to get to, also need to change my oil pressure switch as i never get that oil symbol on ignition. so in a nutshell i could be driving down the...

take all bulbs out??? :laughing: or duct tape your instument cluster maybe lol

aha brilliant :) cheers mate ill have a look in the morning :)

nah don't think its 02 sensor as readings seem within limits, and yeah fan kicks in around that temp, was just thinking i may just sell it as got a feeling its gonna be expensive :O but i wouldn't get alot if it runs like a 1940's tractor eh! suppose i'd be lucky to get a bag of sand for it :'(

i think i will check the injectors just to be sure, is the right procedure to take them all out then connect them up back to the fuel rail and see if there spraying correctly? or is there another way to do this? also thermostat and temp gauge is spot on. always stays bang in the middle. even...

update : had a fiddle round with the back of the fusebox at side of dashboard, checked all fuses and wriggled some relays, also unplugged a black box that has 3 connectors going into it and plugged back in. seems to be a burnt smell coming from around that area so perhaps old alternator has...

i don't think it could be the alternator as i had a brand new one fitted not that long ago, the previous one packed up, remember the guy at the renault specialist saying that the old alternator was bench tested and was giving out anything between 4v-20v (regulator was fried) so really that...

think i will throw a pre cat lambda on and hope that might sort things out, if not then i i will be looking to stick it on a dyno. just to add, when it does play up in traffic and you got the rear window demister turned on, every little miss or when it starts juddering, the defroster turns off...

yeah i forgot to mention that oops :o since owning the 182 it has always gone to a Renault specialist but when it went in a few weeks back when i had a misfire, turned out the ht leads was arking on the block, they did mention that the injectors was not working right, so they took them all out...

Hi everyone i'm new to this :) story is i bought a 182 FF with 109k around 2 years ago, spent a load of cash on the thing. It has 130k on the clock but still used to drive really nice until a trip from Tamworth to Edinburgh and back again, ever since that long trip, the car has been acting up...
