some progress, yesterday used 2nd man to bleed brakes, can feel pressure in the pedal as it pushes fluid through... followed the Renault bleeding procedure of OSR, NSF, NSR then OSF, then repeated, this removed a lot of air. Used clear tube submerged in fluid. So we now have a brake pedal albeit...

The clip is Renault's diagnostic tool? can you buy a clip? any links? or is it cheaper/better to let Renault do it?

have same issue... rear solid brake line corroded where it rests in the retaining clips, lost all the fluid. Replaced with new lines, used easy-bleed pressurised kit and have fresh bubble free fluid coming through all 4 bleed nipples but no brake pedal... had no brake issues at all before I lost...

Cheers, yip, have something in my head for gold wheels ;-) Toxic fume sounds about right, no, it doesn't flash, just came on on the auto-bahn and has stayed on... car is running fine and love this engine. I'll have a look at the sensors... don't suppose you can clean them up? The rally car is...

Yip, love the engine, air-con and handling... think the bigger wheels are making it wander over uneven surfaces though, feels like it may have suspension upgrades but not had a chance due to work to have a proper look over on the ramp. 15 years have definitely changed some things and the car...

Cheers, will give it a try...

Hello, Bought this 182 on impulse... didn't need it but seen it on a Garage forecourt on the way past to my work in the mornings and couldn't help it. Standard 182 as far as I know... new belt kits fitted (genuine Renault parts) as part of the deal. I own a 1.6 and 1.9 205 GTi and so it was...
