Hi recently had an accident in my 182 trying to go through other partys insurance.... If I email someone the photos of the damage could you please post them up in this thread for me? Not sure if the damage can be carried out by one of these mobile units or if I need a proper body shop. I have...

It happened at 11am today. Going into the gym where there is a thin bit of road which I was already into then some old man came round the corner and decided to try and squeeze through the small gap instead of reversing back into the bigger space where he just came from, which he should have done...

I know that a 2.5 system is more free flowing than the 2.25 but is there really much difference when driving between them? I currently have a magnex which is a 2.5 system but am thinking of changing to a janspeed which is a 2.25. With the magnex there, to me is a nice increase in torque...

Hi all,I have just an aftermarket exhaust on my 182 which I imagine has nothing to do with this problem but why would this have happened do you think? Before the light came on I had, had the car jacked up on one side checking for leaks around the cat, and did start the car why it was at that...

Ive had a Magnex cat back exhaust on my 182 for about 2 years now and apart from the numerous warranty replacments they have never caused this awful vibration/ rattling noise which I get now and has been for a few months. Since having the new Magnex and uprated rear mounts I was hoping it would...

My car has been in for a week and they have diagnosed the problem as spark plugs and leads. The cause, they say is because I have cleaned my engine bay..... I went up to renault with a friend who is a mechanic to inspect the spark plugs which looking at 1 of them is very rusty and corroded...

Ive finally got an answer out of these no hopers regarding the fault with my 182... It went in on the back of an AA truck last saturday because it started to misfire really badly and had the exhaust gas monitoring light flashing on the dash. They kept saying they was gonna let me know, they...

My car is lowered on Eibach pro springs and has a magnex exhaust and im sure this it not the cause as Renault has stated!.. When I pull away or as I approach a junction/ roundabout etc to the point where the car slows right down, say in 2nd gear and there is nothing coming at the roundabout...

Edde with regards to other previous posts regarding the fitment of non cup 182 and 172 shocks, i have dug out those part numbers that I said I got from renault after I tried to have some Koni shocks for the 172 fitted to my non cup 182.... As written down by renault technician; 182 non...

Ive read a few posts about cleaning your engine which is something ive been looking at doing. The sound of Autogleam machine cleaner sounds ok but as far as rinsing in those tight spaces ive been thinking about buying a cheap steam cleaner! They sell one in halfords for £20 and a few on ebay...

How can you tell when your exhaust is buggered? If the baffles have gone or going how do you no this? When revving the exhaust does it always make a metalic fluttereing noise or in other cases does it just sound like its blowing? Ive posted before regarding my Magnex (182) on my 2nd...

Im not impressed at all by my slash cut Magnex on my 182... To start with this is the second one I had in 12 months due to the first ones baffles going. Now I get the replacement from magnex which seems noticably louder than the first and both pipes stick out further than the last and the...
