If I was planning on keeping it long term then I probably would, can’t see me making any money back on that at all though

Ahh ok, luckily I’m not doing it. The guy is an ex Renault master tech so just took his word for it

Literally just done the rack bushes a couple of weeks ago, along with 4 shocks, cooksport springs and dog bone

Ok I’ll grab some flywheel bolts and crank seal too, the sump is fine from what I remember being under there last time. Haha if I was getting rid of it soon I’d certainly have a look at some updated rods

Had them looked at a few months ago actually, they’re both fine which is a relief

So the inevitable but slightly unexpected happen. 5th gear decided it didn’t like being in my 182 gearbox anymore so a replacement rather than a rebuild was sourced. It won’t be fitted for a couple of weeks though so I’ve got a few questions, as well as a new clutch kit and gearbox oil, what...

Luckily the rollers were intact. Guy this morning seems to think it's o/s driveshaft spring that's gone, needs it up on the ramp to check though

I've just been up to a gearbox specialist this morning, said it's not gearbox related but driveshaft related instead, kinda glad about that

Yeah it was, was only for about 5-6 days before I realised it wasn't right! This is the thing it could be proper farked and might just be easier to get a second hand one, seen a few around from breakers. One company wanted £800 for a rebuild and fitting

He popped the n/s driveshaft out somehow, put it back in but not tight enough, re filled with oil and it all come back out! Tricky situation because he's a mate, I'm just learning my lesson and staying away from there from now on

Hopefully is a driveshaft to be honest. The box had been run dry for about a week because of some incompetent idiot mechanic! Won't be going back there again! Going to see a gearbox specialist today and see if he can give me a proper diagnosis on it.

Could be, any help is appreciated really Best way to describe it is that it feels like wheel balancing but a lot more violent. Only starts come on about 40 plus, starts off pretty gentle but at 75-80 it's really violent. It doesn't do it all the time either, It's there more often than not...

Hopefully he knows something to help me out

After what I thought was a tie rod/ball joint related problem, turns out they were fine! Went on to find out it's something much worse. Been diagnosed as busted diff bearings. Problem I've got now is, do I buy a second hand box or do I just get a rebuild? Any suggestions for builders and...

About to have my PMS top mounts and brace fitted this weekend. Now the 182 has developed another issue! Any where from 50 upwards I start to get some really bad wheel wobble, it violently shakes the steering wheel it's that bad. Only problem is it comes and goes, it'll be smooth one second but...

Is there a benefit of going for drilled?

Not really no, more just making it fun to drive on the road now I'm out of boring diesels. More of a fast roadish kind of set up, solid mounts, springs, light poly bushing etc

Ok point taken, does the brace fit with the engine cover?

I get that impression. Seems to be aimed at track days though? Will it make a big difference?

I know just not seen a 100% fix that doesn't involve going solid. My commute has been cut down from 130 miles to about 20 so plan on having a little fun with the car along the way. Looks like I'll be leaning towards the PMS kit then

Yeah they're definitely gone, had a master tech have a look at them for me, he did mention the new spacer but also said they don't really last. Only solution seems to be solid. Didn't really want to be drilling into it but that looks the best option

As above really. Recently bought a clio 182 and the top mounts are knocking over every bump, read a little bit about how bad the oem top mounts are and it looks like solid are the only way go. Narrowed it down to these two but can't seem to find a definitive answer. Dont play on fitting a...
