No worries and cheers for the speedy response 👍

@Romanian Tyre Fitter - I would be interested in the rear beam brackets if still available?

Drills arrived on Tuesday after the Bank Holiday, but I had Tuesday and Wednesday off too :p It's in there somewhere.... Messy job, managed to keep the metal contained. 15 mins of patiently drilling out the shock shaft in 1mm increments and the strut dropped free. It was late in the day, so...

Next up was the rear chassis rust treatment. The usual Bilt Hamber products were used. The beam is generally in a poor state and the whole underside needs a good bit of TLC, so the aim was to treat the worst bits and get the car back on the road to enjoy the late summer weather. Also...

Decided to replace all the shock components with new parts and ordered new front and rear Cup shocks, spring hats, shock shaft protection sleeves (great service from @renaultpartsdirect (y)), Powerflex purple rear shock mounts and stainless ABS brackets off the bay. Ordered a a heap of drills in...

I’ve owned the car since December 2018. After returning a company lease car, I wanted something fun for occasional commuting and weekends. Decided I wanted a Cup and found this very original RB Cup from @Mbeau just before Christmas 2018 with 76k miles. Only non-standard items were a Scorpion...

@Martin_172 - Thank you.

Thread resurrection - need to know bearing orientation. Does anyone have a pic?

Service done by The Clio Man in Littlehampton, also fitted HEL brake lines and PMS RARB.. First time the car had been inspected by a specialist and he gave it a very clean bill of health, bar a crack and leak in the rear of the centre exhaust silencer - need to decide if I want to fix that or...

Thanks for the info everyone, off to order some stuffs. ?

I need to replace my top mounts and brake line retention clips on my 182 CUP, but RPD can't confirm the part numbers, so I need your help.... Top Mounts: Standard top mounts required, happy to use either Renault genuine or Febi. Car has standard Cup struts. I want to replace everything above...

1st wash after three weeks of ownership. I had picked up a lot of tar at some point in the last couple of weeks, probably on a 4 hour motorway trip to Luton. I didn't have any tar remover, but managed to get some of it off with clay and IPA. Priority was to get it some protection on as it's...

Thanks for the info. They're 20mins from me, good to know there's a specialist close.

Did you get any recommendations? Discount tyres in Worthing have a Hunter and have always done a good job on alignment (don't do corner weighting) but they're getting pretty busy so haven't used them for a while. I'm in West Sussex and would like to know somewhere good for alignment and...

Yep. Equally, I know things will break/stop working or just be French - LOL.

Clutch and AC good, everything works which is why it’s such a nice car. I’m just going to refurbish parts as time allows to continue improving condition - and drive it!

Although still in the honeymoon period, it is in great condition which I intend to maintain. As I get more familiar with it, I’ll start acquiring and refurbishing stuff - 15 years use still takes its toll. First task is to get some floor mats - off to eBay.

Bought it and drove it home ?

Hello everyone and happy new year. Collected a Racing Blue 182 Cup today that was advertised here on the forum. Thanks to Mark for an great buying experience. Car is original bar a Scorpion cat back exhaust and Ph1 gear knob with a full service history, currently on 76k miles. All the...

Awesome thread and car, you've put a lot of effort in the RB and it looks amazing. Keep up this up as it's good motivation for the rest of us! ?
