Hi I have a standard rear section available if anyone is interested. Renault want nearly £500 quid for these - I will sell for £100.00. VGC - off 25k car. Matt

Hi I know this is in the wrong section but for some reason I can't post in there. Matt

Yeah I'm disappointed with the price of the splitter too especially seeing as its being sold as a two piece item in order to keep costs down. I was expecting it to be significantly cheaper than K-tec so was holding out on ordering one from them. Bic - perhaps a group buy might see a decent...

As long as you notifid them of the fault within the warranty period (which you did) they still have to fix it even if warranty has expired - it is not your fault that they have failed to repair it. In any case, the previous 'repair' job that they did should have its own warranty. Dealers suck...

I can testify to this, couldn't pull away from one on dual carriageway but he couldn't get past either . . .

Mate a work uses Millers in his race bike, swears by it. Elf = Total you can get it from bigger Total garages. I use Silkolene Pro Race S - if its good enough for Porsche its good enough for me!:)

I use mine for work, do about 30k a year in it and get 36mpg even with frequent hammering over back roads etc. Bit noisy with the milltek but like Christopher says, just turn the stereo up! Plus the more you drive it the more BMW drivers you can annoy!

How long for the splitter?

My car squeaks on full lock and so does my mates 182, something to to with the strut top washer I think, not a problem unless it bothers you. Matt

No the warranty expired in 07 and the mastercare warranty on it now isn't worth the paper it's printed on.

£700 F*%k that! sounds like the same thing as mine but I'd just mop it up and trade it in if it was gonna be that much!

Hi, I have searched the forums for the answer to this but can't find it. I have water coming in to the drivers footwell from what looks like the centre of the bulkhead behind the dashboard. It only comes in in very heavy rain or when I wash the car so I am wondering if the drains are blocked...

?? I'm waiting for a punchline!. . . .

Yeah it is, there's quite a few of us knocking about I keep getting random requests from Matt Kerrs on facebook!!

No I don't think so for the following reasons: 1. It doesn't sound like a normal sports exhaust note, its too blowy 2. It wasn't doing it at first then it stopped and now it's doing it all the time 3. My mate had and identical milltek fitted to his 182 same place, same day and his sounds...

Ok, i have an 04 plate 182, new cat back milltek, under full throttle I get a whistly/blow/farty sound, assume this is from exhaust. Been back to garage which fitted it 4 times as well as my local garage twice. They can't find any blowing from anywhere but agree that they can hear it, checked...

It's only the dipped lamps that are xenons on the 182's, the main beam bulbs are separate so just change them for better ones

Bump, It's a sort of a hissing sound almost like the air intake makes but a bit more 'blowy'

Yeah its a sort of spring loaded thing just before the cat, two plates held together by sprung bolts, theres a cone shaped ring inside. . . . .

Has anyone come across a problem where their exhaust blows under full load especially audible around 2500 - 3500 rpm but ok otherwise. Had brand new milltek fitted from cat back, no detectable leaks, new springs and sealing ring into flexi joint on downpipe. I'm wondering if the engine is...

Cheers. Anyone else know the proper part number, tbh the renault dealers round here seem to know f.a about 182's!

I reckon my front shocks have gone cos car is really bouncy and crashy over bumps whereas my mates 182 soaks them up. Phoned local Renault dealer for a price and was told there weren't any shocks that said they were for a 182 Cup Pack car. He then quoted me £130 quid for a renault 'extreme'...

Wow this thread really sucks you in, I just spent half an hour reading it when I should be working!! Anyway time for my tuppence worth: Thurlby astra - 200bhp,330ft/lb 0-100 17.6s Astra VXR - 237bhp,236ft/lb 0-100 17.4s A pretty fair match I would say, both turbo'd, (I reckon that if...

This might be a stupid question but my 182 has a dodgy shock at the rear and I'm thinking of changing the whole lot as I'd like to have a bit less air in the arches. I only want to lower it by about 15mm though and want to keep the handling sweet, I think the standard set up is firm enough but...

Cheers, I am gonna get my alignment checked over the weekend, tyre pressures are fine, running michelin pilots on the front, exalto's on the back. Does anyone know what the correct set up is for toe-in and camber?

Hi, is it normal for the steering wheel (in a 182) to wriggle and pull when you're accelerating hard? It happens under braking too but which way seems to depend on the camber of the road? Cheers Matt

My rear spoiler makes a rattling noise could be that, not worked out how to stop it yet. Racer - stu mentioned the boot lock, the metal bit that catches the boot lid is wobbly on my car is this normal? I,ve tried tightening the star screw that holds it but it's dead tight already. . . .

Can anyone recommend somewhere in Lancashire / Clitheroe way to get the suspension geometry checked on my 182, are Renault dealers any good for this? I'm a newbie having just bought a 182 (25k miles) and am surprised at the amount of torque steer and tramlining i'm getting, especially under high...

I know Renaults are supposed to rattle but my 182 has developed an unbearable vibration from the rear spoiler, it seems to happen more when i've been giving it some stick on country roads etc. Has anyone solved this problem and how?! I've taken it off once and put some wax between the spoiler...
