once the head comes off we will have a proper idea, lads on holiday until the 22nd and been too busy to start the clio, once we see whats what, then I will decide. but I don't see much point spending £1800 to max return get my money back in the trade in.Will need to wait and see.£300, nice try...
liking that, FYI it's a local garage and not Ktec that are doing the work, always used these guys very good and reasonable pricing, so much so that I know when I am overseas my wife can pop in have things checked, frequently free of charge, well respected small garage.
The chaps been too busy to...
the parts are the expensive bits, labour is reasonable, garage looked at prices and also the viability of getting a local machine shop to repair the head, but then figured that the time taken to strip and replace valves, seats cams etc, machine any damage the KTec price of £836 for a complete...
Cambelt failed recently,car currently at garage awaiting opportunity for inspection of damage, suspect its going to need a new cylinder head assembly. I intend to trade the car in after it's repaired, but here is the question! it's going to cost around £1800 to repair (new head from Ktec along...
I have the Milltek cat back system fitted to my wife's car, its nice,got a nice note and not boomy inside.Think the cat section has now gone ( I am overseas, but apparently the car "is making a hell of a racket from the exhaust and stinking of fumes..", so that will be the Milltek hi flow cat...
Like many of you my 182 has a melted steering wheel, it has been like this from 12k miles! I do not hold out any hope of Renault accepting any responsibility for this.Consequently I am faced with 3 options! Do I replace the wheel with a new renault item ( expect that will be prohibitively...
Anyone fitted one of these things to a 182 Cabasse stereo.It's a 05 car, I didn't even knwo there were two versions of the stereo!!lolWhats the scoop with fitting this,does it come with a connector that plugs in the back of the stereo,will the wheel buttons operate this? what connections are...
I have bought a set of Speedline Turini's in Anthracite, I have been told that the Renault Centre caps as fitted to the Trophy Turinis's will not fit mine as they are a slightly different size! is this true. I could believe this as I had a Prodrive Impreza a few years back and the only place...
I fitted a Milltek cat back in November, bought from K-Tec. was changing the rear hangers a couple of weeks ago and noticed that the welds on the two back boxes had started cracking. Called Milltek, they admitted that there had been a bad batch. Next morning I had a brand new back section...
Thanks Lads, I have emailed K-Tec asking about it,but the website gives data about a standard car, I was wondering whether they could alter the map according to my car (without it being present,the mods are not radical), or if the ecu would be more generic for a standard car.I dont know...
Anyone had the K Tec group N ecu fitted? what are your impressions of the difference it makes? I have a Milltek cat back fitted an ITG panel filter to fit when it arrives,what sort of differences do you reckon this will make with the ECU?
I dont have a Renault specific tuner nearby,the only...
quote"i always think im gonna get some winter tyre/alloys but then again its usuaklly 2-4days of the year and its not like your gonna get up at 5 in the morning jack up the car in all the snow and change the wheels is it."
Dont change the tyres to suit mate,change in December / Jan then...
Pirelli Snowsports and 182, go anywhere with common sense. At least that has been my experience using them for the past 3 years on mine,good all-round winter hi performance tyre,got up the hill to my house a couple of years ago with 3 inches of snow on the road no problemo! not being smug,just...
I had that problem in December, it was the heater resistor. It's £99 from your local Renault Dealer, I didn't have time to look online. Another issue could be that the brushes in the motor are goosed,which in Renault speak would mean a new motor,but if you can get the motor out a domestic...
I was in a hurry, so didnt have time to faff about online,I was £99 all in at a local Renault dealer,but he was good tbh as nobody else within 30 miles had one,butu he got one sent over to Stirling from another dealer in the west,I called about 0900 he promised to have the part by 1300,which he...
I seem to be having trouble seeing pics on the website,probably as I am going through a work server (wont be home for a few weeks!),could someone pm me some pics or send an link. cheers.
I just had the cat back Milltek fitted, I like,it's not loud around town or on the motorway,so it doesnt sound boy racer loud, I am toying with the idea of the decat pipe though. CM182, like you I am not the one who drives the car most,thats my wife with my 10yr old daughter in the back (she...
Evo magazine did a 172 / 182 buyers guide a few issues back, I dont rememeber which issue but if you contact them or check the website you should be able to get one ordered up np.
Does anyone have a picture of an Arctic blue 182 fitted with prorace 1.2 alloys (black and white,although not on the same car!!) and also a pic of the same fitted with the Anthracite Superturinis from the Trophy? I am looking at fitting some new wheels and keeping the standard cup wheels for my...
How old s your car / mileage etc. I just had to replace the heater resistor on my 05 182,but it's only done 27000 miles.It could be if your car is a higher mileage and the AC on all the time that the brushes in the motor need replaced, an auto electrician can do that or buy the brushes from a...
even the prospect of trying to discuss this with NU insurance is enough to put me off,somebody in Bombay is hard enough explaining what a cup pack is....need to change insurers to anyway!
So what you are saying is that I am going back to a Subaru then....now how do I break that one to the wife!...but is having one fitted illegal or using a bike rack illegal or is it only illegal if you tow something? may be easier to buy a different car!
