good post there nick , i'm like you and not convinced that the problem was the pads and disks but, i picked the car up this morning and so far the brakes have been perfect , i've not really pushed the car so i can bed them in a bit . the pedal feels like it should feel and it stops the car with...

my 182 was doing the same thing it turned out it was a faulty alternator, dealer fitted new alternator and all has been fine , ask the dealer to check it for you m8 . brian

tempreture of the pads shouldn't make any difference unless they are red hot .lol. mr billy , we are talking about cars that are just over a year old or just under so rust on the pistons shouldn't be a problem , the problems not there all the time either it's very tempremental , i find it tends...

i thought that too , till the last couple of months ,i find the brakes are worse if i'm coming to the end of the slip rd , i travel this road most days and i have the same brake point , sometimes it stops other times it's a scary moment , doesn't matter if the roads wet or dry , the wheels dont...

was driving the on saturday and had drove about 2 miles and a woman pulled out in front of me , i hit the brakes and nothing happened the pedal was brick hard like there was no servo, i had to mount the kerb to miss her which fooked an alloy , the garages were all shut due to the time of year...

never came across that one m8 sorry :confused:

my 182 was doint the same , I.E , o/s light going out , took it to renault and it turned out it was the alternator that was faulty and the computer was shutting things off to conserve power , take it to your dealers m8 . brian

its renault mechanics were talking about here :o , they will probably use a brick ;) :p. lol

could be a ball joint, or strut top mounting, spring not seated right , steering rack , track rod end, its kinda hard to give advice when you cant hear it for yourself :confused:, just check all the above parts. brian

if you leave the bearing too long , it can start to spin on the shaft , resulting in a new hub

its the inside rim messurement, where the tyre sits

price do you and yozza do 205/40x 17s or 205/45x17 . please :D.

m8s a policeman and he says baby wipes work on this stuff and doesnt damage paintwork , never tried it so cant say if it works :confused:

check to see if you have power at the bulbs , if no power check fuse, if still no power could be the switch

you normally get the spigot rings with your new wheels , wheel manufacturers make the wheels to fit other makes of car and the rings make up the difference on the hub diameter, the rings will fit into the wheel , there is a cutout for them to go into , you need to fit the rings or the wheel...

i feel for ya m8 . council covered my car in tar last week , they repaired the rd outside my house at the same time they were doing cavity wall insulation , all the brick dust from them drilling has stuck in the tar , car feels like its covered in sandpaper :p, its going to cost about £900 to...

deppends on the car ? some bend valves some dont , ive seen some where the camshaft has broke , how did the pulley break anyways ???? :o

good old coppaslip, as yozza says :)

its an easy job ..............for a mechanic or somebody thats good with cars , its a gearbox out jobby you have to make sure the clutch plate is properly lined up for the gearbox to go back in too .

i prefer the looks of my 182 to my old ph1 172 , but , i prefer my old 172 for the handling , not too keen on my 182 as they tend to skip at the rear on cornering if you hit a bump , had a few brown trouser moments in it already lol :p

if its the thrust bearing its all part of the clutch assembly anyway, you get a pressure plate, thrust bearing, and clutch plate with the kit , take it to your local garage will probably cost you around £200. it does sound like the clutch from what your describing , hope this helps ya . brian:)

take it back to the dealers m8 , let them worry about it. it might have stripped the threads or something like that . brian

jack the car up and put it on axle stands start the car put it in top gear and take the speedo upto 60 or 70 and take it out of gear and switch the engine off you will hear a loud dronning noise from whichever side is worn , deppending on which side is worn you should be able to drive and listen...
