I work for a company who supply alloy wheels and tyres (PM me for a tyre quote, although we don't get a massive discount on the 'smaller sizes') and all of our tyre suppliers put their prices up by around 8% for the new financial year.

Cambelt off job for doing the cam cover!? :O Bloody Frenchies.

my 182 does 35 if i drive with kid-gloves. 20 odd if i hammer on.

Jump in feet first. Always been my motto. We all have to start somewhere, you've got plenty of people here to help you out. Other people have done 2.0 conversions so you must be able to do it too. The £3000 k-tec charge will be mostly labour. Do you have any family with mechanical experience...

Evening all, Just hoping for a quick bit of advice from people. My 182 has a little bit of oil pooled on top of the lower inlet manifold. There is also oil on the cam cover and the underside of the upper inlet manifold. I'm guessing its the cambox gasket. What other parts am i going to have...

Coolio. Good to know. I would have expected that the renault guy would have known tho. Laters, jam.

Afternoon all, My 182 is coming up to it 24k service, which i'm gonna sort out myself, i'm guessing that the service light will come on soon. How do you reset it manually? Someone at renault said you do something with the stalk button. Nice and vague. Any help apprieciated. Laters, Jam.

Heat it and beat it.

cheers for confirming my suspicions guys. It's in the workshop tommorow morning. The only problem is they've given me a Ford Fusion TDCi as a courtesy car :(

Thought as much, They're open today so someone's going to get a earbending. Laters. J.

Hello all, Just a quick, late, question. I had a new middle exhaust section fitted to my 182 three weeks ago under warranty. Earlier this week the exhaust on my 182 slipped off its middle rubber causing the sleeve joint between the middle section and the rear box to separate and causing the...

Afternoon all. Does anyone out there have a renaultsport megane 225 or dci 175 fitted with the 17" wheels? If so would it be possible to tell me what the offset of these wheels is? Also can anyone confirm the pcd and centre bore? I believe that they are 5x108 and 60.1mm. Cheers.

Fair play. Someone said £44 fitted for a mich PE2 which you really can't argue with really. Micheldever/Protyre are another good one, google 'em up.

Big reds are the dons. Fitted some of those to a 1979 porsche 928 recently. Certanly made a difference! How about a set of Brembo Carbon Ceramic Bad Boys. The boss has got some 405mm 6 pot brembo's on his Range Rover, i could try and nick them on my lunch break tommorow?

Aye, i know. I'm just a bit pikey that's all, you never know.
