Hi all, last month my car was in the garage and I had one of the headlights replaced. They basically forgot to put the rubber stopper on the back of the light unit and the moisture is making my lights intermittent. Is there any way of putting it back on without taking out the light? I've...

Booked in to the garage for wednesday. I will let you know what they say. If it is a CV joint/driveshaft I'm looking at at least £200 for the part from Renault and then about 90 min labour. I know Renault do reconditioned drive shafts but I think you need to trade your own in. Does this mean...

Just been told that it could be the driveshaft, but that was just by explaining it to the mechanic, he hasn't had a look yet. Anyone know if a driveshaft sounds like this?

Just been out for a drive and noticed a weird clicking noise which seems to be coming from the front driver’s side wheel. It sounds like a cable tie or something is rotating with the wheel and hitting the ground on each rotation. I had a look under but could not see anything. The strange...

Hi, my window washers seem to be broken. When I attempt to use them I can hear the motor whirring but no water comes out. The washer bottle is completely full. Is it the pump or could it be something else? I've got a new pump but don't want to go ahead and fit it if it may be just a blockage...

The ability to go back to that garage for any warranty issues is a big plus. Partly due to the issues I've heard about the welding cracking on the Miltek exhausts and getting them to sit right. I imagine that if you have problems with an exhaust from the internet you would have to take the...

Nice timing on the thread, I'm currently looking for a Miltek myself. I was quoted £438 fitted from Tuning Werkes in South Croydon (London). You can pick them up for about £380 on ebay but I have seen a number of people comment on them being difficult to fit and having issues with getting the...

Is this a good price? I have been quoted £438 by Tuning Werkes in South Croydon (London) for a Cat - back Miltek exhaust for my 182. I know I can get a system for £380 on ebay but was unsure how much it would cost to fit (don't want to do it myself). More importantly I was worried about any...

I need to go back tomorrow to get a quote from a particular mechanic. From what the other guy said (and what he showed me) it is blowing from the actual silencer. I just didn't know that it was an option, but I guess if that parts on its way out the rest will follow shortly. I've always wanted...

Went to a local garage today and was told that my exhaust was rusted and blowing between the cat and the back box. They told me that they could do a repair by taking out the mid silencer and putting in a straight through pipe between the cat and the back boxes. They are stockists of...

I had the standard anthracite 182 alloys on mine but they were quite badly scratched up when I bought it. I had them refurbed in the Megane anthracite which is slightly darker and think they look pretty good. Sorry, but no pics.

Do you know anyone thats used the megane spacesaver on a 182?

Hi, I'm after a spare wheel for my 182. I wanted to know what particular size fits and can I just go to a breakers and pic one up as long as it has the same number of studs. I would really prefer to get a space saver. Does any one know if you can get one for the 182. Thanks.

Looks like your rear shocks are leaking. Its a common thing with these cars according to most on here. I had this a few weeks ago and paid Renault about £110 for both rear shocks (you should change both at the same time, even if only one is leaking). Apparently you can fit them yourself with...

Just got my belts and service done and the car is driving sweet. Went to Rentec in Portsmouth and have to say the service was second to none. They even fixed little bits around the car that I didn't even ask for. Thanks!!

I think I'll just wait a while and get a refurb. I heard it cost about £80 an alloy. Not cheap but there starting to look quite bad and I don't think I'll get the same finish doing it myself. Thanks for the replies.

Dinners sorted!!

I actually bought some spray paint from Halfords. Its for a Rover but was recomended on here as a good match. Anyone got any experience spraying small sections of their alloys?

Is there anything to do down there? I'm dropping my car off for about 9.00am and was told it would'nt be done until about 5pm.

I've got a 182 which I bought about a year ago with anthracite alloys . In the last few months the anthracite stuff has started to come of in places and its not due to curbing as its even on the inside of the spokes. Has anyone else had this problem? A friend told me that it could be due to...

I've got my car booked in for next Tuesday at Rentech for the Belts and Service. I live in London so it's a bit of a mission, so I told the missus we'll make a day of it and go down to the coast (we've both got a day off work so I had to sell it to her some how). I just wanted to know how...

Hi all, I've got a 182 with the standard anthracite alloys. The paint has come of in a few places and it really isn't a good look. I heard that a good paint match was Rover stone grey from Halfords. Just wanted some tips on how to apply it to get the best finish. I imagine that once you've...

Any one know if there is a difference between the standard and cup pack shocks?

My drivers side rear shock is leaking and I hear a 'thud' everytime I go over a bump. I hear Renault do them for about £55 each and you need to change both at the same time. I have a FF 182 with cup packs. Just wanted to know if there was a difference between the standard 182 shocks and the...

Just got of the phone to rentech in Portsmouth and got a quote for £700 for service, cam & aux belt. A bit of a mission but I booked it in anyway as I'll be saving £300. Had to sell it to my missus as a day trip to the coast but she came round. Thanks for the advice.

I was pretty shocked when I started ringing around, but out of 4 local renault garages £1000 was the best price. I'm in the Croydon (south London/surrey) area. Anyone know of any other garages that might give a better price? What is a decent price to be paying?

Hi all, I've just booked my 182 ( 04 plate) in for the 36k service and i'm having the aux and cam belt changed as well. The best quote I could find was £1000 including all belt kits, at renault in Coulsdon (so I booked it in). They originally quoted £1600 but when i told them that my cheapest...

I had the same 3 lights on today but when i turned it back on later they were off. Let me know how it goes. good luck.
