Right so I purchased a 7700437055 and have counted the turns lock to lock, it is for sure 2.8, are any 2.4? This part number is off a DCi 100hp I thought was that rack, this will do for now, but I really want the mythical faster rack if it really does exist?

Thanks for the information. I have found one of these, you are sure these are the higher ratio rack, ie 2.8 turns lock to lock or better?

Ok, but what is the correct part number? I just don't want to waste my time buying the wrong one.

Does anyone know the correct part number for the DCi 100 rack rather than the 1.2? it has been suggested the DCi 100 rack is a higher ratio (less turns lock to lock) So far I have found most seem to have a part number of 7700437054 but that seems so common it can't be right? I have also found...

I'm trying to locate the correct DCi rack for an EPAS conversion, does anyone have the correct renault part number that will be on it? Ta

I ran with no PAS and a looped rack and the car was next to impossible to use on the road, I added epas to the looped rack, but the feel was awful and very varied, the only real way to do this in my mind is to run the correct DCi high ratio rack and epas with a suitable adjustment kit from ebay...

Ok, so how to do it?

Is it possible to fix the circlip issue on a 172 cup gearbox without taking the box out and stripping it?

Thanks, just out of interest is there any benefit of running a gearbox oil cooler to protect the gearbox? I used to run one on my Exige via a laminova, it was almost essential for keeping the gearbox in one piece with sustained track use.

I used to use Redline MT-90 in my Exige and that was (I think) LSD friendly oil, the car doesn't do a lot of mileage so time between diff rebuilds will be quite a while hopefully This now turns into is MTL or MT-90 better?

I am just about to fit a plate LSD into my 182 gearbox, however the oil specs say the correct oil 75w80 is not suitable for use with an LSD https://www.opieoils.co.uk/p-60205-motul-motyl-gear-sae-75w-80-fully-synthetic-car-gearbox-oil.aspx What people using instead? The builder of the diff has...

When did you last change your fluid? Never had issues in mine or my mates cars running RBGF600 and DS2500 pads all round in his and DS3500 up front on 4 pots on mine I might be tempted to ditch the CL seen too many sets delaminate!

Thanks all, going to just get a cheap one as a spare to carry as it seems unlikely it will go wrong, saves having too much cash tied up in spares.

I want to buy a new coil pack for my low pressure turbo 182, don't want to buy cheap and regret it, I want to buy right and keep the old as a spare. My car is track day toy and therefore don't want to ruin a track day over a cheap part I can keep as a spare. What is the right one to buy?

Well if it is Quaife or M Factory, who in Essex are the guys to do the job?

Only had my Clio a little while, it is a track car with a low boost conversion, I'm sure it is going to have more torque than grip even on hot R88Rs What choices of LSD are out there? Also probably going to look at going high boost, can you just drop forged pistons in? and go to say 270hp?

On Saturday I fitted a PMS shifter on my 182 Turbo and a mates 172 Cup, awesome bits of kit :-)

Has anyone come up with a digital dash that works via CAN on a 182? My old AIM MXL doesn't work with the older CAN protocol the 182s use and I miss it.

Just so everyone knows, it is a RAKU II connector on the end of the aerial lead

Hi all What type of aerial connector is at the back of the car where the aerial actually plugs in? I want to remove the standard aerial and fit an amplified shark fin but I'm not sure what type of connector it is. TIA

all sorted now, it was the wrong plug, the correct one was buried with the indicator cables

Only just bought my 182, I have issues with both ABS and ESP lights are on. I have found the SAS is missing, I presume when they fitted the OMP steering wheel, I have now bought a SAS but the plug doesn't seem to fit, the one I have has 6 wires but the new one came with a plug with only 4 and is...

Anyone got a solution to an easy install digital dash? I now know the AIM MXL is a no go via CAN bus as it doesn't read the protocol of the 182, you are fine on a 197 Does the dash 2 work or not?

All fitted now, I have EPAS on my 182 Turbo :cool:

What a total git of a job, got my old column out, new one in, but for the love of god I can't get the bolt back in the universal joint onto the rack, any advice guys spent an hour and a half and got nowhere

how do I get at the UJ that connects to the rack to undo it? O thought I would need to get the cover out first, it just doesn't seem to want to move

I want to remove the column, what is the easiest way to remove this large boot thing at the bottom of the column?

I used to run an MP62 SC on my Lotus Exige, with the Toyota engine it was good for 300hp, you did need a decent charge cooler or intercooler for that HP as it did generate a lot of heat.

Anyone post me a picture of what I need to grind or drill out?

Hi all bought a new steering column, and the stupid eBay suppliers have sent it with the old barrel in but no key, can I get the old barrel out with damaging the column itself? If yes, how? Ta Adrian
