Hi all, last month my car was in the garage and I had one of the headlights replaced. They basically forgot to put the rubber stopper on the back of the light unit and the moisture is making my lights intermittent. Is there any way of putting it back on without taking out the light? I've...

Booked in to the garage for wednesday. I will let you know what they say. If it is a CV joint/driveshaft I'm looking at at least £200 for the part from Renault and then about 90 min labour. I know Renault do reconditioned drive shafts but I think you need to trade your own in. Does this mean...

Just been told that it could be the driveshaft, but that was just by explaining it to the mechanic, he hasn't had a look yet. Anyone know if a driveshaft sounds like this?

Just been out for a drive and noticed a weird clicking noise which seems to be coming from the front driver’s side wheel. It sounds like a cable tie or something is rotating with the wheel and hitting the ground on each rotation. I had a look under but could not see anything. The strange...

Hi, my window washers seem to be broken. When I attempt to use them I can hear the motor whirring but no water comes out. The washer bottle is completely full. Is it the pump or could it be something else? I've got a new pump but don't want to go ahead and fit it if it may be just a blockage...

The ability to go back to that garage for any warranty issues is a big plus. Partly due to the issues I've heard about the welding cracking on the Miltek exhausts and getting them to sit right. I imagine that if you have problems with an exhaust from the internet you would have to take the...

Nice timing on the thread, I'm currently looking for a Miltek myself. I was quoted £438 fitted from Tuning Werkes in South Croydon (London). You can pick them up for about £380 on ebay but I have seen a number of people comment on them being difficult to fit and having issues with getting the...

Is this a good price? I have been quoted £438 by Tuning Werkes in South Croydon (London) for a Cat - back Miltek exhaust for my 182. I know I can get a system for £380 on ebay but was unsure how much it would cost to fit (don't want to do it myself). More importantly I was worried about any...

I need to go back tomorrow to get a quote from a particular mechanic. From what the other guy said (and what he showed me) it is blowing from the actual silencer. I just didn't know that it was an option, but I guess if that parts on its way out the rest will follow shortly. I've always wanted...

Went to a local garage today and was told that my exhaust was rusted and blowing between the cat and the back box. They told me that they could do a repair by taking out the mid silencer and putting in a straight through pipe between the cat and the back boxes. They are stockists of...

I had the standard anthracite 182 alloys on mine but they were quite badly scratched up when I bought it. I had them refurbed in the Megane anthracite which is slightly darker and think they look pretty good. Sorry, but no pics.

Do you know anyone thats used the megane spacesaver on a 182?

Hi, I'm after a spare wheel for my 182. I wanted to know what particular size fits and can I just go to a breakers and pic one up as long as it has the same number of studs. I would really prefer to get a space saver. Does any one know if you can get one for the 182. Thanks.

Looks like your rear shocks are leaking. Its a common thing with these cars according to most on here. I had this a few weeks ago and paid Renault about £110 for both rear shocks (you should change both at the same time, even if only one is leaking). Apparently you can fit them yourself with...

Just got my belts and service done and the car is driving sweet. Went to Rentec in Portsmouth and have to say the service was second to none. They even fixed little bits around the car that I didn't even ask for. Thanks!!
