Renault want £211 +VAT which is out of the option for now. Anyone know anyone who supplies refurbed or provides a refubing service for driveshafts? Or anyone who has one for sale. Cheers.

My wheel needs a refurb and i really need to know the paintcode or somewhere where i can order the paint. My understanding is that i can't order from Renault as they wont supply it, any ideas? Thanks.

2004 182. How long have people seen their tyres last? My rears are fine but my fronts have lasted just under 4k miles? Im impressed with the grip, tyre pressures have been fine and there fitted the right way round but im down to about 2mm of tread now. Now obviously the fronts will wear a...

Running a cable through and would like to move the PAS resevoir out of the way to get better access to the grommet. Does is simply unclip with the top part of the clip and pull off or is there something im missing? I'm being a bit careful as now is not the ideal time to snap something.

2004 182. My car passed its MOT first time (shock horror) and there was an advisory that the rear pads were running very low which i expected. Im looking to get a replacement set and found a set on GSF but i need someone to confirm they are actually for the 182. Part Number: R64605 Can...

182. Just fitted a set of HT leads from performance direct to my 182 and everythings running fine and dandy but ive noticed that there isnt anything stopping the heat eating away at the leads. On the standard renault items they have a protective casing and i was wondering whether its...

Long story short, small gap in road, woman didnt give way, i moved to save my front wing and mirror and the result is this: Currently sorting the wheel but in your opinion would like opinions on the tyre? Its a bran new eagle F1, covered about 2k! In myopinion its destroyed the "rim...

:dapprove: Can i just make the point first that ive never kerbed a set of wheels (at least a set i cared about!) because i think wheels make a car, so imagine how i felt when this happened: I was driving down a tight road, usually what happens is that the person down hill carries on...

Looking to order some engine & gearbox oil as the service is quite close now, decided to go with Royal Purple engine and gearbox oil: Engine (5w-40 5.6 Litres): http://www.iridiumengineering.co.uk/clubman.htm Gearbox (75w-90 3.7 Litres): http://www.iridiumengineering.co.uk/maxgear.htm...

Driving to my mates today and my 182 started misfiring, sounded like a Subaru which was nice for all on 10 seconds and then the exhaust emmisions warning light started flickering. Now im thinking either plugs, leads or coilpack, just wanted to know what peoples thoughts were which were the...

Another big thanks to clean your car, sent an email Friday afternoon in urgent need of pads and some collinite and this morning i was able to pick up the bits so i could carry out my last minute detail. Thanks! On a side note, collinite is the business!

Righteo, need some advice all. :D Currently i have a 182 with Suspension cup pack on a 04 plate in black gold with 50k miles. Full service history, had the car for 6 months. The exact same spec Clio has come into work, minus cup packs on 20k miles (anyones on here?) and was traded in. My...

My exhaust was hanging slightly, turns out the rubber hangings have given way and need replacing. Do i need ot just order the rubber hangings and how do you replace them? Do i need to remove the mount completely or is there a quick way? Also how do the rubber mountings come off and go back on...

On my Karcher foam lance theres what looks like a valve which has a "+" & "-". Does anyone know what this does? Im assuming it alters the mixture of water & soap but when i turn them to max and min it makes absolutely no difference. The lance gives a nice coating of foam, was just curious as...

Ive read threads on DW where they chekc the levels of paint to see if it has a health layer for correction and to see if it has had some paint in the past. Im looking to detailing a friends car over the bank holiday and we know it has had some paint in its life on the bonnett and the arches...

I pulled up to work this morning, radio was on working normal. Turned car off at ignition, wondered into work. Got in car this afternoon, turned the key to the ignition but didnt start the car. Waited for lights on dash to dissapear (note the radio was playing as normal) and then started the...

Ive not washed my car sine the detail i did a while back so it was in need of a clean so decided to treat it to a snowfoam. I had to buy a new pressure washer because the connection wasnt right for the lance and my existing pressure washer. Taddums. Also fitted my KTEC Carbon Fibre Splitter...

Im gonna use degreaser tomorrow for my door shuts (AG), just wondering whether it strips LSP or not? Cheers.

Ok, i already have a pressure washer but its not a karcher and doenst look like it will fit with an adapter either. So im planning on getting this lance: http://www.autobritedirect.co.uk/shop/product_info.php?products_id=1726 Just want to know which karcher is recommended to go with it...

Should be fitting my bran new wheels on Saturday. They are trophy turinis and im wondering whats the best products to use? Im planning on a wash down with megs, then SRP, EGP followed by a more durable wax than my p21s, possibly collinite? Whats the Megs NXT like, i have a fresh bottle of that...

2004 182, FF. When starting the car i usually turn the key to and wait for all the lights on the dash go out. Ive done this with all my cars as i always assume its doing some sort of startup diagnostic, finally once there out i turn on the ignition. Yesterday im not entirely sure i did the...

Im about to order some tyres and im looking at eagle f1s and the michelins. Ill be using the tyres for track days too (cant afford any semi slicks so dont even go there) and was wondering how they compare on track? Ive had michelins before and the sidewall was nice and stiff, listening to...

I read a thread earlier on DW about wet sanding (fixing stone chips) and some people used a porter cable and said it was fine to use? There were even recommendations of polishing it out by hand? I recall watching a megiuars clip on youtube where the demonstrator used the american version of the...

I used my vax (posh word for a hoover that has water to help clean) on Saturday for my interior, worked brilliantly by the way, everything is like new minus the seatbelts (how much are a set of these to replace by the way?) and it all dried out pretty quickly. Only problem i was having was...

What is the best method to remove grease on my windows? Ive heard vinegar is the best solution, is this true? Im finding it very difficult to drive at the moment and when other cars come flying past with headlights on im struggling to see whats going on in front of me.

Rather amusing story to begin with. I wanted some new plates for my car, current ones have borders, logos and dealership logo on them and i wanted some plain ones that just had the reg on and nothing else, no GB sign or writing on the bottom part of the plate. I went to my work, they could...

05 plate, had both cup packs. Needs a wash. :D

Just about to order some oil and need to know how many litres the 182 engine takes and the gearbox. Cheers. :)

Ok first ill give you a quick run down of the car.... 2004, 1 previous owner with 46k miles, fsh. When buying the car the only negative point i could see was some kerbing on the wheels which were quite bad on 2 of the wheels, that aside the paintwork "looked" in pretty good condition, a...

I have a question. :P I started on the bonnet, start with the menz ip and a polishing pad. Found i wasnt getting anywhere with it so moved up to the Sonus. Ive finished the bonnet, not a swirl in sight, however when i wiped down i noticed extrememly fine long swirls, it looks like a long...
