As per other thread but need a quick answer. Should a battery of 360amps starting power start my 182?

My 182 has been sitting since July. I have been out the country working. I was home briefly for a few days in September so I turned the car over. It started first time with no issues. I got back home yesterday and tried to get into the car. The central locking wouldn't work. The key was lighting...

Ended up going for Yoko AD08's all round. Got them at a good price fitted so hopefully they will be good. Trackday next Friday too so will be good to see how they compare to my road tyres.

It's about time to get some new tyres for the 182. The car is used daily but also for trackdays and weekend hoons. What tyres would you choose? Standard 182 alloys. I'm thinking about giving the Federal RSR trackday tyres a go as a cheaper alternative to R888s. I was going to go for Yoko...

Just been out again washing the car, and it really, really won't budge. Even when scratching with my nail. Here are a few pics. Wonder wheels was left to soak on for a good 10mins and nothing: See the difference in colour compared to the centre cap. This is the only wheel. The...

My front passenger side wheel caked in brake dust that I cannot remove. I have soaked it in wonder wheels and it just won't budge. This came about after a track session that is particularly hard on that specific wheel so it will have gotten very hot. Any good tips on how to remove the brake...

If you are suggesting that it makes a 182 slower having a decat I can categorically state that my 182 was slower with the std cat in place. I had to fit the cat a few weeks ago for my MOT and decided to leave it on as i enjoyed the silence of the car compared to when it was decatted. I got bored...

PH and EBay. All the ones with Recaros and speedlines are sold that i can find.

From where? I can't seem to find any.

Yea I was thinking as much. I am maybe best looking at some of the garages down south and seeing what kind of deals can be had on 12-18month old ones.

When the guy said to me it'd be £306 a month to me I had the same reaction. He was the worst sales guy i have ever come across aswell. Just seemed like he couldn't be Arsed and i was an inconvenience. Think I might go back later in the week and try a different sales person. I'm not willing to...

Just been to the local Renault garage (Evans Halshaw). Brand new 200, Racing blue, Recaros, Cup chassis, Spoiler, Speedlines, & bluetooth. £200 deposit +£2k for my car (minty mint 33K FF 182) = £306 P/M on 4 year PCP with 6000miles PA. Think I will shop around a bit, but at that price I will...

Let us knows what's what when you phone them. I am looking at 200s at the moment aswell.

What sort of monthly payments does that work out at, if you don't mind me asking. Thanks.

Out of pure curiosity, what sort of deal was being offered on the RS?

As per title, I'm contemplating trading in the 182 for a new/nearly new 200. Are there any good deals to be had at the moment. There doesn't appear to be many dealers with any 200s in stock up my way (not that i can find) so may have to venture down south. Just want to ask on here before...

Where did you get your pics from bud?

What pressures do you run on track using road tyres? I have my first outing in the 182 on Saturday and wondering what pressures I ought to run at. Got TR1s up front and bridgestones on the rear. Running 32/30 for normal road use. Was thinking of probably around 24/22 cold on track...

So does anyone actually fancy a nice drive out somewhere?

Thanks Fred, I will call tomorrow if I decide to go for them.

Thanks Fred. Can you give me a price for the fronts, inc. Postage please?

Does anybody know the correct part number for front DS2500 pads for a 182 as I believe there are two numbers?

The airbag light and service light on my 182 keeps coming on and then off again. It is very random and no pattern to it. It comes on for a few minutes then goes off again. No fault code when I plug in my OBD scanner. Any ideas??

I'm seeing about 250-270 miles out of my FF 182 before the light comes on. Pretty much all town driving and mostly short journeys. On the occasional motorway trip I am not seeing much better than 30MPG indicated but that generally tends to be because I sit between 80-90, which at 4-4.5k RPM...

Since nobody had any idea I will update for anybody who has this problem in the future. The cause of the issue was the door position button on the door shut. It was a bit sticky, so when the door was opened, the button wasn't being released straight away hence the central locking not unlocking.

Thermostat.

Looking for a bit of advice really. My FF 182 has standard central locking and alarm. When I start driving the doors lock themselves. Once I stop and open a door then the central locking unlocks all the doors. However, recently it has started to take quite some time for the central locking to...

I have the Supersports version with decat. It's pretty loud when giving it some beans. Infact, I personally think it sounds fantastic, especially once over 4k RPM. it's very droney at motorway speeds though so if doing regular long distances I'd go for the one with the silencer.

182 with Ktec cat back (decat). Currently on 29. That's purely short town journeys and a hoon or two round the country roads.

Haha it was something to that effect. In my defence it was pissing rain and dark so I just seen the plate upon a glance. It was also 3/4 size. Edit: It could well have been T76 PHY.
