Hi, I posted a for sale ad on here for my BG 182 a couple of weeks ago (not advertised elsewhere yet) but I've had no interest :unsure: Is it a bad time to sell? Have I priced it wrong? Would appreciate any thoughts. Cheers, Dave.

As per title, could do with some help identifying a couple of renault part codes. Im in the middle of changing the radiator on my 182 but 3 of the 4 screws which fasten the fan onto the radiator or knackered. The one good screw says M88 on the hex head and is an 8mm spanner - need a part code...

Just at the garage having the MOT done on my 182. MOT tester has said it will fail because ‘original steering wheel airbag is missing and must be fitted’. There is no airbag light on the dash - it was switched off with a clip at Diamond Motors a couple of weeks ago, and it passed last year at...

I need to remove a front ABS sensor from my 182 and would really rather not remove the hub if I don’t have to. Tork T30 screw is out and I’ve had a quick go at it with a hammer and chisel but its not budged. Is it possible to do without removing the hub? I have a new sensor so don’t mind if...

Hi All, I'm after some carbon fiber diamond badges for my black gold 182 - where's the best place to get them from nowadays? Thanks, Dave.

Hi, I’ve lost the instructions which came with my Ktec solid top mounts (newer style black ones) and wanted to double check the torque settings on the strut top nuts - anyone have the figure to hand please? Thanks, Dave.

Hi, I’m wondering what the benefits are of fitting wheel spacers, and what would be the recommended spacer widths for a 182 on Eibach Sportlines with standard 16” wheels (I think ET43 offset?) Thanks, Dave.

I’m on standard 182 16” wheels at the moment and just wondering why people drop down to 15’s? I guess tyres are slightly cheaper and wheels are potentially a bit lighter, but I’m more interested in how a drop down to 15’s changes how the car ‘feels’? Cheers, Dave

Thought I would start a thread for my BG182. I've done quite a few bits of work on it already, but this Saturday I'll be attempting to fit a Renaultsport Sabelt blue/black suede steering wheel, OMP boss and 172 stalk for the horn so my plan is to get photos of the process and do a bit of a...

Hi, My insurance for the 182 is up for renewal in a few days - I'm with Greenlight at the moment. I would like to try a couple of track days this year so was wondering who's the best trackday friendly insurance company to get a renewal quote from? Who do you track day guys use? Thanks, Dave.

Hi, I've hot solid exhaust hangers on my 182 as the rubbers in the OEM hangers just destroy themselves after a couple of weeks (had two sets of OEM hangers on previously). I also have Ktech solid top mount and polyflex dogbone (not solid gearbox mount though) and when I engage the clutch and...

Hi Guys, Fitted my Whiteline ARB last night and I'm a bit concerned I have over tightened the droplink nuts - can you have a look at my photos and see what you think please? Thanks, Dave.

I'm wanting to fit some bucket seats and possibly harnesses in my 182 but not sure what to go for. I've removed the rear seats already so not really any need for reclining seats. It will be mainly for fast road and maybe the odd track day. What would you guys recommend?

I've decided it's time to replace both my driveshafts (CV joints clicking). Apparently the drivers side shaft could be one piece, or could be two piece (different part codes). Also there might be different width ABS rings (8mm or 15mm) - again different drive shaft part codes. Is there a...

Just wondering what else to bear in mind with regards to suspension geometry when lowering springs are fitted? My 182 has Eibach Sportlines - what happens to camber and toe when these are fitted compared to standard ride height? Do I need a way to adjust camber in combination with the lowering...

Hi, I'm looking for recommendations for someone who knows how to setup the suspension geometry on a 182 with Eibach Sportline lowering springs. If it means a number of trial and error settings to get the car feeling how I want it then fine, I'm willing to pay for this. I've had it on a hunter...

Hi All, I've got a 182 which has Eibach Sportline springs and Ktec solid top mounts fitted and AD08R tyres. I had the tracking done at a KwikFit on a hunter machine straight after fitting the springs/top mounts and tyres and it seemed to drive OK. I had the car serviced and checked over at...

Hi All, I've got a full fat 182 (both cup packs). Last weekend I changed the front springs to Eibach Sportlines and fitted k-tec solid top mounts, leaving the standard ff 182 rear springs alone. I've been driving the car like this all week and it has felt great - much much better at the...

Can anyone help with part codes or a parts diagram for these? I need the nearside and offside front parts of the front wheel arch lners - one came off and shattered under the car and the other is shredded and half hanging off lol. Oh, also need all fixings for them too. Cheers, Dave.

Just wondering if anyone has any instructions on how to change the upper gearbox mount on a 182? I've polybushed the dogbone mount and fitted a k-tech upper engine mount today but still have a k-tech upper gearbox mount to fit. I took the battery out early then hit a brick wall when I realised...

What looks like a whacking great piece of pig iron behind the battery box covering the ECU is loose on my car and I'm sure it's rattling away under the bonnet and I can hear it whilst driving. I want to remove it to see if the rattle goes away. What is the point of this thing and is there any...

I want to change the gear knob on my 182 to a metal one. Does anyone know if the gear knob in the photo below will fit (I had one of these on my old 200 and I liked it). If this one won't fit, is there an equivalent one for the 182? Thanks, Dave.

Hi, Anyone know a part number and price for one of these? Mine is buzzing and I would like to replace it. Cheers, Dave.

I've just bought a FF 182 which has the cup pack 16" wheels with 205/45/16 tyres. I was wondering what my options are for wheel sizes - diameter, width and offset, along with options for tyre widths and profiles. I've had a look around but can't really find a guide or such with the options, so...

Can anyone identify the wheels which are on the black Clio in this photo please (I would like to get a set for mine)

Hi I've seen a Renaultport Clio 200 for sale which I am considering buying. It's looks in really good condition - Recaros are good, paintwork is mint etc but the only thing putting me off is the service intervals. I thought the intervals on a 200 were 12K miles or 2 years - whichever comes...

Hi, I took my V6 into QuickFit yesterday to hopefully get a puncture fixed on the nearside rear. Unfortunately, they could not get the wheel off, despite battering it with several rubber malletts for about ten minutes. Anyone else come across this before, and if so whats the solution...

Im thinking about upgrading the stereo and/or speakers in my Mk2 V6 Clio. I mainly drive a Golf diesel for work purposes and the stereo in that is way better than in my Clio (at least to my ears it is). Id like to keep the standard stereo if possible (dash display, steering column controls...
