The garage in question only checked from underneath and not from the clutch fork bell housing area

Not that mate the external one the half moon with the o rings to the underside of the box It was very stiff to start with but much better now

If the input shaft was bad then is it wrong to assume that the person fitting the clutch would pick this problem up? It would be able to get overlooked would it?

The clutch I had replaced, the release bear would make a noise when the clutch pedal was pressed down. This problem now is the other way round. A completely different noise to the knocking is was more screechy

Thank you for your help again everyone. For a bit of context, about 1.5 years ago my gearbox developed a whine in 5th gear only due to low oil, I topped up the oil and the whine remained but settled now. I have never had and crunches in any gears or especially tapping at idle. I decided to get...

Louis I will answer that question at the right time 👍

Thank you again guys I’m at work now but will respond better later

Appreciate this guys

It was a brand new kit from RPD bought 1 month ago and fitted 3 weeks ago. Could the fault lay within the new kit or the fitment of said parts. If I can prove it’s either the clutch kit at fault or a fitting error then I can get it sorted for free. If I get it wrong and it’s the gearbox then...

Thank you for your reply I appreciate that. I do feel a bit fobbed off from the garage, initially they said about having it in and stripping it down, as I said they looked underneath and checked some bolts, which they said is fine?? They believe the problem is in the gearbox but I don’t believe...

Hi I have recently (3 weeks) had a new genuine clutch kit fitted and now I have this horrible knocking sound, I noticed the tapping at first only ever at idle not in gear. The noise which completely goes away when you press the clutch pedal down, and comes back when you release the pedal. The...

I had been looking for yellows and found Larkspeed to be the cheapest for the 182, Ive not changed my shocks in the end. im sure i read somewhere that the Koni str dampers are apparently like the yellows on the softest settings, whatever thats like haha

I remember seeing it on www.renaultsport.co.uk somewhere!!

^^the "Cup" package is much better, you get a better suspension pack which includes the uprated springs which also lowers in about 10mm, You also get a wider track of wheel. Can anyone confirm that the track width on either cup or non cupped 182 are exactly the same? I think there the same???

Thats interesting as lots of members mention v6 airbox!! With the gen2 kit as i mentioned before get the cold air feed right and it is great, although no conparisons done with an rs tuner like you did.

Ive had the kit on for a few years now, sound wise is hard to describe really... It kind of gargles on tick over and has a nice roar when you floor it!!! have you changed your exhaust at all? I have a Magnex system on mine and when driving at normal driving speed say in 2nd or 3rd gear, when you...

I got a Gen2 on my 182! I would ditch the standard air feed that comes with it though and buy a couple of better ones (not foil). Decent air feeds to this kit makes a big difference, in my experience.

Sounds like it could be your anti roll bar bushes. Mine started creaking around the 40k mark when pulling away and braking as you describe

Not many places list them for the 182 but the cheapest i see so far was larkspeed. Your 182 needs to be a 182 without cup suspension pack as they dont make them for the cup pack afaik. Rob.

I needed new plugs and leads on my 182 at 26k as it developed a misfire, it was driving all poppy like you describe

Thats the problem there really! As much as I hate it leeking £350 is alot of money and ive checked the level and always mention it at a service and everytime the level is fine. As been said alot already, they pretty much all do it anyway and so long as the level is ok it aint worth touching...

How much did this cost you? Mine also leakes.. Rob.

Yeah Mark will do setup aswell as alignment. Give him a call James he is very helpful on the phone and will tell you evrything you need to know. www.markfish.co.uk

Good point, altough my issue was with an exhaust fitted elsewhere which needed sorting out, they said they wouldnt touch it as it wasnt bought from them!! Bizzare really??? I would still go mark fish anyway. Rob.

Elitedirect wont fit anything that isnt bought through them, as I have experienced! My advice would be to go see Mark Fish as he is very experienced and not any further to travel really than elite. www.markfish.co.uk Rob.

^^ Yeah most definatly ARB bushes!! Rob.

I would stay standard personally unless you a track nut!!

Mine were removed regreased and refitted. I would be tempted to just spray lube all over them and see not sure if it will work though because of the type of grease used. It cost me £50.00 something pounds to remove them and regrease, done by www.twotechs.co.uk car drove much better after...

I find they are unstable on some roads when you put your foot down and tramline probably because of size of tyre. What condition are your front tyres in, this could be your problem? Also get your tyre pressure exactly right from cold, 33 up front 30 and see how you go Rob.

Just had this done on mine 182 it was anti roll bar bushes that need re greasing!! Creaking whilst moving forward, pulling away and slowing down also when turning full lock either way Rob.
