Have seen a few threads mentioning the calipers are the same but all of the ones for the 106/206/306 Saxo appear to have a different handbrake cable arms. Will these actually work okay?

Hi all, Noticed mine has completely sheered off at some point and my handbrake cable is just sort of dangling down a bit and im slightly worried about my impending mot. Has anyone had any luck replacing this and what with? I'm hoping its just one of those push fit 'fir tree' connectors and I...

Hi All, Could anyone with the scorpion centre section help me out with any of these measurements? I have ordered one but my OEM Cat has been the restriction/olive joint removed with a straight 57mm section welded on and will need to modify the centre section to it to sleeve on to that. I...

Hi all, just thought I’d share my success using the ‘Elbow Grease’ and wipe method on my sticky dash parts. I rubbed it down with some elbow grease spray and lots of clean rags to remove all of the soft touch coating then sealed it with some gtechniq C4 trim restorer. Took about 20 minutes...

My GF noticed a bit of a clunk when accelerating. Its a single clunk when pulling away/ accelerating quite hard. I checked the car over and found the OS outer cv joint boot has a small hole and has pissed grease everywhere. Could the joint now be drying out/failing and causing the clunk? Any...

Hi All, Does anyone know the part number for the wishbone bushes (extra caster ones if that makes a difference)? Also are all 4 bushes the same? And any tips on getting them out? Thanks!

Hi All, Have been driving my Clio a little more recently. The steering has felt a little bit weird when going over rough and bumpy roads. The track rod ends, inner rods and wishbones, Inner and outer ARB bushes, top mounts, and shocks were changed for Renault or OE a few years ago but less...

Hi Guys, Just wondering if anyone has ever bought one of these refurbished PAS pumps from eBay? Mine has been sounding like a supercharger for about 5 years now and as by belts are due I figured I should get it sorted at the same time. Birchdown have said that new genuine ones are no longer...

Hey guys, The Belts on my 182 are due and I’m looking for a specialist in and around Stockport. Last time I went to Gaz Burnett in Warrington but it looks like he’s not trading anymore :(

Hi Guys, Flicked on the A/C for the first time in a while yesterday and I noticed it was making a weird constant hissing sound, almost like letting down someones tyres. Definitely only happens when the A/C is on and I think I can hear the engine revs changing when the compressor clicks in...

Hi All! showing my 182 a bit of love getting it ready for the summer. Noticing my seat shoulder seam is coming loose. Does anyone how this can be repaired? Cheers

Hi Guys, Today I was warming up my 182 before taking it out. Left it idling for 2 mins just tickling the throttle. The engine then struggled despite me booting the throttle and cut out. I’ve since not been able to start it. I’ve checked a few threads and the battery is pretty new, I charged...

Hi All, My 182 is currently not being used and when I have been taking it out, its been pretty lumpy and the emissions light is flashing. Last time after a few minutes of thrashing it when warm, it went away.From googling this seems to be an injector fault. Without a fault code reader, how can...

Hi Guys, I seem to have a very strange issue with my headlights at the moment. My passenger side headlight is working intermittently. Sometimes flicking the lights off and on will sort it but mostly it will either work from startup or not at all no matter what you do. I assumed this was the...

Hi Guys, The time has come for me to start think about replacing my beloved 182 daily. Im buying a house and have scrimped and saved for about two years to pay for. With the mortgage sorted I can look at financing something. I do a nasty commute in stop start traffic so want something auto...

Hi Guys, One of the screws holding my rear spoiler on has broken and I have lost the plastic ‘washer’ part. Anyone have any idea of a part number for it? Thanks!

Hi guys, Had a bit of a knock when at low speed going over big bumps so decided to take a look today. Both front wheels off the ground I've got some play in the passenger side wheel in the 9-3 position. I checked all of the relevant bolts and bushings around that area and all seems tight. I...

Hi Guys, I've done a search on this but most results have an ABS light as well. I did have an ABS light too but replaced the brake pedal sensor and this has now gone. So I seemingly randomly get just the SERV and ESP lights on, sometimes the light stays on when turning the car off and on and...

Hi guys, I bought a cheap DAB radio from Ebay second hand and it has a strange antenna connection. Can anyone identify and let me know whatadapter I need? Thanks!

Hi Guys, Looking to get some Pilot sport 3's in 195/45/16 (I've got good 195's on the back and bald 205's on the front so just going to match the rear ones, I know its not 100% spec for 182). On camskill they have two PS3's in this size. The only difference I can see is the fuel efficiency...

Hi Guys, I had another thread regarding noises on full lock which seem to have been cured with the top mount spacer and new ARB bushes. Since then I have been getting a loud knock on braking and accelerating usually at low speeds but may just not be able to hear at high speed. When it clunks I...

HI Guys, I have been getting very loud clunks when manoeuvring at low speeds for a while now on full or close to full lock. It has also happened when braking or accelerating briskly. It sounds like its coming from the front suspension and sounds like maybe the top mounts moving around? It...

Hi Guys, A few months back I had my car mapped at EFI. The engine is close to standard, it's had the centre silencer deleted and the catalyst modified to remove the olive join. I was unsure about what induction to run so kindly Chris at EFI offered to test both the standard airbox and the...

Hi guys, I recently did the wishbones on my 182. I removed one strut to inspect the top mount and ever since ive had an ever so slight clunk from that side when going over slight bumps. Ive also noticed the top mount caps are spinning and moving as I turn the wheel, is this normal? I was...

Hi Guys, I changed the wishbones and outer ARB bushings on the 182 yesterday. Since then the car has been handling very strangley at low speed, at fullish lock in car parks im getting a strange shopping trolley kind of sensation where the car doesnt really feel like its going where its...

Anyone know the size for a replacement 8mm bolt that stops the exhaust hanger sliding off the mount? I can't get myold one through my powerflex mounts and need some longer ones! Thanks

Hi Guys, Can anyone recommend a decent place to get my standard 182 wheels refurbed in the Manchester area? I've checked out a few places who do powdercoating but getting a colour match on the plastic centre caps worries me. Does anywhere still do wet paint? Thanks

Hi Guys, I have read a few threads on here already but no one else seems to have the exact same problem. I have intermitted Abs/serv/Traction lights coming on. There doesn't seem to be any reasoning for why or when it comes on and it doesn't come on all the time, and always goes away if I turn...

Hi Guys, My 182 has a rattling baffle in the centre section. I'd like to get this chopped out or replaced, local exhaust place has quoted me £100 for cutting it out which seems a bit steep, and £60 for removing the olive joint on the cat and sleeving it. (Long Life stockport). Could I fit an...
