My 54 Plate 182 with cup packs is creaking really bad with full lock on an sometimes even just when going over bumpy roads :dapprove:

Anyone got any ideas what it may be please ??

:D
 
go outside and look on the tailgate, theres a bit of writing on the left hand side, 2 lines of it in fact.. read the top line, theres the problem.

Maz - I had exactly the same on my '54 plate too. Took it to Reno after it creaked like a biatch on full lock (especially turning left) and they sorted it out as being, and I quote 'a technical fault'.

They would give me no details as to the work that had been done, what was involved or anything. Whatever they did, it worked. If they gave me more details, I could have let you know what to tell them!

Where's the creaking coming from? If it's from the steering column it's a switch which they will replace, as I had that on my 172. If it's elsewhere then it's anybodies guess. lol

It's not your eyes they'll want to see fluttering.;) Don't act too dumb though, or they'll charge you more. lol

top strut modification needed.

common fault marie.

get it into renault, just don't watch what they do to your car. it involves a hand file. :)

Dont think its top strut on 182 mate, cos this was sorted on that 182 phase. The top strut is a 172 issue. Also top strut would knock ubder harsh acceleration/loss of traction

I can vouch Maz's 182 doesnt knock under harsh acceleration!!!:rasp: I did my best to discover if it yesterday!!!:D
