Thanks Bankrupt_drunk, really struggle for time with work and the family, so hoping to take the easy option. I will have a look at the kit though.

Anyone recommend anyone in the Wolverhampton / West Midlands area to restore Headlights on a 55 plate 182 ?

Mine did exactly the same this week (diagnosed by the AA), recovered to Renault who told me not to drive it and they have told me the coilpack had failed. Could of done without it as only 2 weeks ago I had to fork out for a service with plugs and exhaust mounts.

Hi Anyone used Four Ashes Renault Specialists in Wolverhampton ? Looking for opinions etc as my 182 needs a 36000 mile service and I'm going to get the cam belt done at the same time to save the effort and cost of getting it done next year. I have just given them a call to get a price and...

Cheers for the replies. Gone for some of the Chemical Guys stuff along with a top up of all my other products, just hope it turns up for Thursday now as my car is in for service on Friday and I never send her into Renault without a good clean. Probably makes little difference but I like to...

They aren't too bad, I just hate cleaning the wheels so was looking for something to make the process a little easier. I was hoping this wouldn't be too harsh, I could spray it on work it in and rinse off.

Planning on spending the day with my 182 next weekend and give her a good going over. The car is always fairly clean but I need to pay some attention to the wheels. Anyone used Chemical Guys Blue Rim and Wheel Cleaner ? Just about to put an order in with Car Wash and Wax and thought I would...

Anyone know if we get a discount from www.cleanyourcar.co.uk ?

Cheers Rich. You've not failed me yet with advice, so I'll purchase another. Who stocks the best Lambswool mitt at the moment ? Appreciate they all do the same thing but I did purchase 1 that started falling apart after a couple of washes.

Hi all Cleaned my car on Sunday and decided my lambswool wash mitt had seen better days and have decided to replace it. I was going to just buy another the same until I saw the Chemical Guys Wash Shmitt. http://www.chemicalguysuk.com/product_p/shmt.htm Anyone recommend one of these or...

They do insurance work and he gave me a proper quotation sheet, so I it all looks ok, was just hoping others may have used either bodyshop. The car is black gold which is why I was worried about the colour match as you can really see it when the sun's out, not that were getting much sun at the...

Quoted £250. They had a load of top notch cars in there I was just worried about the paint match, when I go to pick her up.

Hi all Has anyone ever used either of these bodyshops: Renault (Wednesbury) Bodymatters Motorbodies Ltd (Digbeth) My workplace have agreed to foot the bill after the gardeners scrathched my bumper (Black Gold 182) and I can't decide where to take her. Both places have said I would be...

Rich how much to make my car look like yours. ;)

Hi all Took my Black Gold 182 out today and had to put something in the boot, noticed a white mark on the bumper and thought the birds had got me then I realised someone had chipped the bumper in 1 place and left a nasty scratch just below. :mad: It's quite deep and the plastic has gathered...

Cheers Dan I'll run that by them when I hand her over.

Hi all Sitting at the lights this morning and noticed how much my car sounded like a tractor. There is a tapping noise when the car is just sitting there ticking over which comes and goes. I noticed this a while back after an oil change at Renault Wolverhampton but when I asked them the car...

I had a problem with my radio not holding stations or every station would play Radio1 when I started the car each morning. Took it to Renault as the car was under a year old and they have removed the radio and told me it would go for repair. They are now saying I can have a brand new replacement...

Cheers JMR. Bit limited on choice of shop on a Sunday so ended up spending £33 of my own money at a Shell station. Then realised I could of purchased the oil on my company fuel card. Doh. :mad:

Car informed me yesterday that I need oil. Left her on the drive and this morning popped to Halfords to get a couple of litres. The handbook suggests 5W-40 but all they had was a Halfords branded bottle and I didn't fancy that. Spoke with one of their guys who checked and said 10W-40 was fine...

Just had my renewal through from Norwich Union £793 on a 55 plate 182. 32 and have been driving for 14 years with 12 years no claims. No points and never made a claim and actually got a refund last year when I moved as I now live in a low crime area apparently. Rich who do you have your...

Anyone ?

My job involves me occasionally having to travel to see customers and I have to answer my phone at all times (or should I say I'm supposed to). I'd rather not have the company my firm use butcher my car to install a carkit and was going to do it myself. Has anyone else done this so I just have...

Definately a vibration. It's as if something is catching and it shudders through the pedal. One of the drivers at our place is an ex mechanic and I've tried to highlight the problem to him and it hasn't happened once. But it's happened about 3 times today already.

Only had the car a week and it's been so hot the a/c has been on all the time.

At first I thought it was every time I used it from cold (it does do it every morning first thing) but I have noticed it does it every now and again when I driving to work. Problem is it doesn't do it every time I pull away, so it's going to be hard for Renault to find anything unless it's a...

I'll give that a try next time I go out.

No strange noise from the engine if I accelerate hard in 1st, havent tried that speed in 5th but if I do put my foot down in 5th the car does accelerate.

It's just as the car starts to move and my foot is still slightly on the clutch.

I have a 55 plate 182 with 2700 miles on the clock which I picked up last Saturday. During the test drive I didn't notice anything wrong but now I have been driving the car for a week I've noticed that when I pull away in 1st I get a vibration through the clutch pedal and can hear a scraping...
