Thanks you for all your input/advice. I'll be pressing forwards with getting the replacement Lemforder part, but i won't be fitting it as mechanical gubbins really isn't my forte.

Hi all, I sent my 182 to Renault yesterday for a service and i've been warned of a few faults from their customary VH check. The main concern i have is that they've identified 'slight play in the n/s/f track rod end, and with that have quoted me a staggering £125 to repair. Having looked on...

Huzzah, Renault have actually managed to find a problem with mine! Faulty TDC sensor which is now in the process of being replaced. Although not particularly cheaply :(

I've got the same problem with my 182 and it's now been sat at a main dealer since i had to have it put on a flat bed after breaking down on a roundabout on Saturday. If they find something i'll post up.

Nope it had the standard cup wheels in grey/silver. Was also being driven by a girl. So it could be his other half and they've changed the wheels back. Bit of a disgrace to leave the CS stickers on and not be a member though :)

Stickered up 172 cup. Sat side by side on Cowdray Ave before going separate ways towards Brightlingsea/Alresford.

The automatic choke sounds the most logical answer, with second place being a gap creating some airflow where there shouldn't be. I had an OEM exhaust centre section fitted a few months back and my problems seemed to appear after that. I was contemplating buying an 'official' renault part from...

Common enough for 4 of us to all have the same issue within a week of each other! Yet no response from a member who has actually found a resolution to this... I'm dammed if i'll pay Renault to identify and fix the fault!

I've been getting the same thing ranging from cold starts or from aprox. an hour after turning the engine off. Similar issue, upon attempting to accelerate - the revs seem to get stuck around 2200 and will all of a sudden surge forward towards the 3000 mark. I have also noticed that i also...

Struggling to justify the running costs of premium petrol atm. I'm looking at getting a diesel Seat Ibiza Cupra; for the extra price i'd get an extra 200 miles to a tank (in theory).

Ahh ok then yes it was me! I was confused as i know mine is an arctic... although it didnt look that way as i'd just got back from a 450 mile round trip after driving a Lambo Gallardo in Staffordshire that morning. Still, it's clean now which is all that matters :D It's a shame but the poor...

Wondering if this was me who's been spotted. Where abouts was the car parked up?

I have grave concerns about getting a yozza. While i like the look of them, a friend has one on his 172 and it drowns out any other sound in the cabin. At motorway speeds it's hardly ideal! Is the Milltek the quietest option for aftermarket?

Thanks Steve. I'm currently phoning round a couple of garages but if it's the case i will probably buy a Milltek or Yozza

For that price i'd expect it to be made of solid gold. The fact the problem lies in the center sector makes be think that i only need the one section. From what i can tell there are no problems with the box itself.
