I work for a company who supply alloy wheels and tyres (PM me for a tyre quote, although we don't get a massive discount on the 'smaller sizes') and all of our tyre suppliers put their prices up by around 8% for the new financial year.

Cambelt off job for doing the cam cover!? :O Bloody Frenchies.

my 182 does 35 if i drive with kid-gloves. 20 odd if i hammer on.

Jump in feet first. Always been my motto. We all have to start somewhere, you've got plenty of people here to help you out. Other people have done 2.0 conversions so you must be able to do it too. The £3000 k-tec charge will be mostly labour. Do you have any family with mechanical experience...

Evening all, Just hoping for a quick bit of advice from people. My 182 has a little bit of oil pooled on top of the lower inlet manifold. There is also oil on the cam cover and the underside of the upper inlet manifold. I'm guessing its the cambox gasket. What other parts am i going to have...

Coolio. Good to know. I would have expected that the renault guy would have known tho. Laters, jam.

Afternoon all, My 182 is coming up to it 24k service, which i'm gonna sort out myself, i'm guessing that the service light will come on soon. How do you reset it manually? Someone at renault said you do something with the stalk button. Nice and vague. Any help apprieciated. Laters, Jam.

Heat it and beat it.

cheers for confirming my suspicions guys. It's in the workshop tommorow morning. The only problem is they've given me a Ford Fusion TDCi as a courtesy car :(

Thought as much, They're open today so someone's going to get a earbending. Laters. J.

Hello all, Just a quick, late, question. I had a new middle exhaust section fitted to my 182 three weeks ago under warranty. Earlier this week the exhaust on my 182 slipped off its middle rubber causing the sleeve joint between the middle section and the rear box to separate and causing the...

Afternoon all. Does anyone out there have a renaultsport megane 225 or dci 175 fitted with the 17" wheels? If so would it be possible to tell me what the offset of these wheels is? Also can anyone confirm the pcd and centre bore? I believe that they are 5x108 and 60.1mm. Cheers.

Fair play. Someone said £44 fitted for a mich PE2 which you really can't argue with really. Micheldever/Protyre are another good one, google 'em up.

Big reds are the dons. Fitted some of those to a 1979 porsche 928 recently. Certanly made a difference! How about a set of Brembo Carbon Ceramic Bad Boys. The boss has got some 405mm 6 pot brembo's on his Range Rover, i could try and nick them on my lunch break tommorow?

Aye, i know. I'm just a bit pikey that's all, you never know.

No you can not my friend, no you can not. That's a fine shopping list. Mine's not dissimilar i fancy an exhaust and IK first just to get a bit more roort into my life, then an ecu map, and then some coilys and some fat ass brakes. Then maybe i'll be happy, maybe.

The block and head are gonna need skimming that's for sure, just to someway ensure that the hg doesn't blow again when you rebuild the engine. The water in the bore was probably the coolant infiltration from the hg blowing. Hopefully the engine didn't MASSIVELY overheat as it will have...

Maybe you should lay off looking at tb's in any respect until your skills develop my friend :) Even if you had them fitted by someone else they're very rarely a fit and forget item, can be quite tempramental. Designed for racing not road use you see. Best to still with the standard inlet and...

Hey ditz. It really does depend on the damage the rust has done to the bore surface. What i would do is after you've broken the engine down have a go at the bores with a decent hone tool, see if it comes up well. Don't hone it too hard compared to the other bores tho, just give a nice even...

Never compromise on tyres regardless of whether or not you're getting rid of the car or not. The Michelin's Pilot exaltos are the shiz so stick with those, dig around for prices, according to another thread i saw you can get them silly cheap from Costco so it's really not worth paying more for...

I like the attitude D4ve, anything is possible. It's impossible to cost justify any car modification to car, regardless of the route you choose it's still burning money. Fun though :cool: It's always cool to have you're own kit that you've developed, nice to have something properly bespoke...

Just found these: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Brembo-calipers-pads-NO-RESERVE_W0QQitemZ220227185330QQihZ012QQcategoryZ23013QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Those brembo's should fit, regardless of whether the hub is 4/5 stud that just means you'd have to use different discs or drill the original discs precisely for the clios stud pattern. Most of the OE brembo calipers i've dealt or seen recently are just your bog standard bolt through fitment and...

Morning all, I've recently got myself a very nice low mileage 182 in silver and absolutely love it. I didn't originally want a silver one but this one came up with half the mileage of the others i'd looked at for the same money so i just jumped at it. It's currently got the silver 16" wheels...

It sounds like a failry major short there my firend. Have you double checked all the wiring to the started motor, you haven't fitted the solenoid wiring back to front?

If you're feeling adventurous you can build a tb setup for far less money that £1.5k. A few friends of mine have built engines running bike throttle bodies with custom inlets and then fitted a 'megasquirt' ecu. These can be more work but if you use your loaf you can build a setup like this for...
