I’ve moved recently from South Wales to Bath and it is time for me to give my 182 its 3rd cam and aux belt, plus dephaser. Any recommendations for a garage in the Bath or Bristol area? Thanks.

Miles and condition make no difference for recycling, do they? I've just had a private message telling me that one sold recently on eBay for £100 and would I take that lol.

Just a bump to ask what the ballpark current value is for an original 182 cat and where to sell it?

I bought a NOS roof rack and fitted it a while ago. I have now lost the instructions and can’t recall the tool used to tighten or loosen them. Allen keys (tried 5mm to 2mm) don’t seem to fit. Does anyone know what should be used? Thanks.

It’s looking like we are moving somewhere we will have on street parking only. It could go into professional storage but I only manage a couple of thousand miles a year in it as it is, can’t imagine I would use it at all if I have to drive to collect it. We will see though.

Since new in 2004 for my BG 182. Now on 69k and will probably have to go this summer when I lose my garage space. Any originality enthusiast fancy an oe uncut one piece exhaust? Perhaps one for the Trophy collector.

Thanks.

I'm envious of cold AC at the moment! Would you mind sharing the part number for the Nissen drier?

Thanks, they look great.

Cheers. So do they spray the wheels in 2K or were they powder coated?

Do you get the centres finished to match or buy new ones? Everyone I try only offers powder coating and either can’t do the centres or can’t match the colour of new centres.

Sorry to hijack a thread, but could anyone tell me the name and part number of the vertical metal bar that bolts to the lower wishbone (just left of centre of the red box in the OP’s photo)? The missing part of the wheel arch liner clips to it.

Couldn't agree more. My Sprayshack anthracite dash strips, gear and steering wheel insert still look perfect after however many years (10?). I'd love to have all the rubberised plastics to match but in a satin finish, I've stripped the rubber finish and used 2k semi-gloss lacquer but it's...

So I’ve established that the clutch cable hasn’t snapped and is connected both ends. I can rotate the semi-circular black ratchet and it springs back when let go. I assume there should be some sort of teeth that connect to the ratchet to stop it springing back?

Thanks, that’s a great help. A quick google suggests 25mm but it looks like no-one makes then aside from Renault.
