round file - longer bolts - done - thanks guys

will buy one of those too - thanks

thanks - gonna buy some and give it a go

Has anyone changed the bushes before ? I had to take the roll bar off and now Im finding it difficult to get back on - I put the bushes (the two that hold the bar to the subframe) back in correctly but its so tight I cant get the bracket far enough round it to get the bolt through. Any...

bump

Im hoping someone can check a part number on the renault system. I recently bought a rack from ebay for my 182 - it was listed as part number 8200103421 / 8200276162. Now I know the second part number is correct as it is the same as the one on the sticker on the original rack. When the rack...

Can anyone confirm the correct part number for the front shocks on a 182 CUP (182 + CUP Pack), before I go to Renault and get supplied with the wrong ones:) Bought some lowering springs too so gonna change the front dampers as it already bounces around a lot on the old ones. Also I dont...

any ideas on the cost of the konis compared to reno ? thanks

I want to replace just the front shocks on my 182. Im not really intrested in lowering or improving the handling over standard but wondered if there are any options other than the standard reno units. Its a 182 with cup suspension which I think has different spacing on the bolt holes to the...

Can someone confirm the part number for a 182 steering rack - The car is cupped - but I dont think it makes any difference. If you know how much as well that would be nice.

last time they had it for 3 weeks - still never fixed it - I would rather just pay someone there is a little bit of difference in the castor angle on the two fronts, 2 45 & 3 02 but i dont think its enough to cause problems

I used to use that trick in my 15 year old metro - works like a dream !!!!!! Shouldnt have to on a new car though eh ?

My 182 has felt very loose for a while now - Ive been to renault numerous times, but they cant fix it. The steering feels loose in the middle and it pulls and wanders all over the place - it also wears the edge on the front left tyre I have had the geo and tracking checked a few times but it...

Mine does this as well - reno quality again

I drive it like I stole it - Its the only way ! I usually let it warm up first then its foot to the floor and up to the limiter whenever I get the chance.

I like this car - I would buy one tomorrow if it wasnt made by reno - i swore i would never buy reno again after the sh@t service from their dealers and the bad build quality

Im sure someone will correct me if Im wrong - I dont think the donuts need to be tight at all - from what I can see they serve no purpose other than to stop the struts falling out when the wheels are off the ground. I would think they just need to be tight enough to stop them shaking loose - in...

Im pretty sure plasmas have a much quicker response time than lcds They also do HD plasma sets that have the same resolution as LCD I would have thought Plasma was better for gaming due to the faster response - but I am not an expert

I thought I was going to get shot down for that suggestion - seems like other people feel the same way. Is anyone interested in starting a small army ? Then full scale war on renault ? hehe

My 04 182 had a leak between the engine and gearbox - I think from new. Renault managed to fix that one for me under warranty - but it took them over a week and the techie told me the engine box and subframe have to come out - although they often talk cr@p.

I bet I get in trouble for this - but here goes anyway................................ Ive had loads of problems with renault - they very rarely fix anything and always lie. I tried complaining but no one cares and you end up getting all worked up - what you need is some stress relief. I...

Hmm - there is a rubber joint at the bottom of the coloum on my 182 - I inspected it and it seems to be ok. Did wonder if anyone had welded this up yet on the 182 - I know they do it on the older clios. Anyone comment ???

Test it out on another clio - I bet yours is not the only one, however, it is also worth checking a brand new clio as I bet its not noticable then. To me the rack is broke - end of - steering racks should not clunk they should be smooth with ZERO play. Of course getting reno to admit something...

Looks lovely - what I want to see though, is an uprated engine mount kit, What do you think, I bet you would sell loads. Richy

My 182 does this - so do some others - reno say there all like it but Im not convinced. Get a friend to move the wheel fairly quickly from say 10:00 to 2:00 o'clock and back again - repeating quickly - whilst you kneel by the front wheel and try to hold the tyre still. As the wheel passes...

Reno say its ready - they have changed the front shocks - gonna pick it up this afternoon

Got a call yesterday afternoon - finally some progress - they think there maybe something up with the front shocks, so they are going to change them under warranty. I live in hope..........................

Thanks Mike Ill have a go when they call me today - I know its not the tyres and reno promise me they have checked all the bushes. So I guess it must be front shocks, top mounts or steering rack. Tyre pressures are ok too, I do have different tyres front and back, but it was the same with...

car already has nearly new tyres - they think its because there not pe2's (khumas) - still dont see why I should fit steel wheels - what the fk is the point of a warranty if I have to diagnose my own problems.

It didnt suddenly occur and I havent hit anything - I first noticed it around 5000 miles and it has got worse ever since - until now when renault finally noticed it. Reno want to change the tyre as "that may be the problem" and "we need to eliminate the tyres" anyone can see that the tyres are...
