Hi guys Just a few questions about the installation of a 172 engine/gearbox in a 182 I know that it should be a straight swap as they are almost identical apart from the breather. Does this breather need anything doing to it or is it just left as is? Also the gearbox on a 172 has the speedo...

Now I know many of them do it, but i remember a time when it didn't so in my eyes it shouldn't. There is no noise coming from the pulley area and the whine seems to be coming from the sump....oil pump?? Will a new oil pump cure the cold start whine, it seems to have gotten worse over the years...

So following on from yesterdays thread about never having any big problems with my 182 in my 5 years of ownership. I get a nice surprise this morning. Stopped at a friends house after a spirited drive and noticed steam coming from the bonnet shut....hmmm what the hell. Opened the bonnet and...

Hey everyone. Just thinking today really. Will have had my 182 for 5 years in Feb. Done about 60k in it. In that time the only bits that have needed changing are; (excluding maintenance...tyres, servicing, bling etc) 2 track rod ends rear dampers dephaser (cambelt was conveniently due)...

Hey guys Just wondering if anyone knows the diameter of the lower/top rad hose and the expansion tank hoses. Doing a coolant change tomorrow and just need to get some jubilee clips to replace the renault clips. Cheers

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/UNIVERSAL-3-EXHAUST-CUT-OUT-REMOTE-ELECTRIC-DUMP-Y-PIPE-BYPASS-CAT-BACK-KIT-/350874852172 The advert seems to suggest you run two exhausts? One for road standard(through the cat) and one for track use? Or you just run another pipe around the cat with this? WTH!! Would...

As title really, I have a scorpion RS192 that has been on there for about 3 years now, Its brilliant don't get me wrong but can be a bit loud and drony at times, And I seem to have had a few comments recently about it being loud, which I guess I haven't noticed since I have lived with it for so...

A big thanks to snappy for doing the re-trim, the wheel looks and feels mega. Should last a damn sight longer than the original wheel. Saw the design that another member had on here and loved it. So went for the same thing.....shamelessly stolen :o Makes the car just feel a lot nicer...

After having my engine rebuilt over a week ago now, it seems like I am getting a good extra couple of mpg out of the fuel. New spark plugs would have gone in but the old ones weren't exactly... erm.. old/worn. It seems they also managed to roll out that shell V Power Nitro at the same time as...

Hey guys Following on from my recent cambelt/auxiliary/PAS pump failure it looks like I will be getting the engine rebuilt. Just a few questions so I know what should be done/needed. When the head comes off, what will it need Headgasket I imagine, but does it also require new headbolts. Is...

Hey guys, just after any sort of input regarding the car.would be nice. I believe the cambelt has decided to go its own way. Scenario is, pulled out of a junction at about 12mph then the car just died and wouldn't start. No loud bangs, just cut out. called the RAC and he came and had a look, we...

Didn't know where else to put this so insurance seems the best place. Situation today was that I was at a T junction wanting to turn right. Car from the right let me out as traffic started queuing to my left, all fine and good. As I was waiting halfway in the road looking left for a gap, a...

Can someone please explain to me why a dci 65 is more expensive to insure than my 182. I was looking to change to benefit from the cheaper running costs aswell as not using my 182 for what it was intended anymore. I probably still will in a few months as the tax is only £30 and overall...

Hey guys, I have just bought a new mtb and am planning on travelling further afield with it, so chucking it in the back isn't an option when I need other gear in there as well. Can anyone point me in the right direction of some bars (ebay or other) that will fit a 182. I have browsed ebay and...

hello guys if i wanted to refresh the suspension/steering to make it basically like it came out of the factory, what would be the best items to change. i mean most parts are relatively cheap around ther. shocks/springs are all fine. so what would be needed to get a noticeable newer/tighter...

If you are this type of person then answer me this, what the f**k is the deal with the lexus lights. they are absolute cack. i was nearly physically sick having to follow a mk2 ph2 clio with them for about a mile before. also the stupid bumper cut out where this is no exhaust to cut out for. WTF!!

this is the result of a 182 having no spare wheel. i had to resort to a scrap tyre from a local garage but unfortunately the size is.....205/55/16. well it will be 2days before the pe2 comes so it will have to do for now. the result of a council pothole, tyre went pretty much straight away with...
