£4.5k too much?

[TarkMalbot]

And the washer/spacers.

@WillMorgsHurley well done sir.

How much did you pay for it?

Thank you!
And enough, put it that way 🙈

hi m8 im in caerphilly do not take it anywhere other than dan@sjm he is around 1hour 20 mins from me, in glastonbury any help u need give us a message cheers

There seems to be quite a strong Welsh contingent on here! Cheers bud, and I think I'll go with him as he's closer :up:

Looks like a well looked after car. Would you not fancy doing the rear wheel bearing yourself? I just changed both rear discs including bearings and it wasn't that bad of a job. Depends how much labour it will cost you.

Yeah, tbf it looked a LOT better in person than in the pics from the Ad. I wouldn't mind giving it a crack if I can find the time, how long did it take you roughly? Obvs I want to leave the belts to an expert :up:

Looks bloody lovely that mate, standard rear lights, caliper stickers removed and painted silver, silver bullets and diamonds including the wheel ones, standard hazard switch panel and standard rear bumper insert and it will look awesome! :up:

Glad you gave in and bought the car. Hope you enjoy it and you'll never get bored of that colour.

That is true. I've had mine for over a year and when it's clean, I still find myself going into a trance, staring deeply at it!

One of my favorite colours on any car, ever!
Granted, there's smarter, more sophisticated colours around on other cars .
But on a 182, this colour must be the best suited! [emoji5]

I don't mind the Clio's in any colour but LY is certainly my fave for the 182, its a fantastic colour and suits all the RenaulSport models.

Thanks Tom. Well thankfully he put on a set of standard rear lights on the day I bought it, so that's one less job to do! I'll definitely be removing the caliper stickers, but IF I re-paint them then it'll probably be red. From seeing the pics in the Ad I wasn't convinced by the colour coding, but in person it actually looks very smart. If anything, I'll put a standard rear bumper insert on.

Glad you gave in and bought the car. Hope you enjoy it and you'll never get bored of that colour. :smile:

I couldn't resist! My knees started trembling like a school girl at the very sight of it 🙈

The back brakes can be done with a standard socket set and a torque wrench. Should take 2 hours max taking your time with messing around and doing it for the first time providing you have all the parts needed. I stripped them down to find there were spacers missing so had to wait for them to arrive. Then because the spacer was missing I struggled to get one of the bearings off the stub axle but that was only a half hour job to get off with a grinder but hopefully you won't have this issue.

If you look on the last page of my project tread you will see photos of my back brake change.

 

[TarkMalbot]

And I have a standard set of rear lights for sale.

85k? Hmmm normally go lower but tbh I don't know if many 182 are low anymore, well name your sensible price, won't be till my passats sold but I'm selling that cheap enough so should be quick

 

[anthonymayow]

Mine was owned by Renault mechanic for 8 years and had 50k miles when I bought it just over a year ago for 3.5k.

How long you think I'll wait for a 50k ish LY to come about? Haha!
