Hi,
I've got the @NorthloopCup / BIGASH Roll Centre kit, and after a few years of great usage it needs some maintenance.
Does anyone know what spec the spherical bearings / rose joints are?
Thanks!
Fitting seats and there's one cable I can't work out where it goes. The cable that connects the handle on the seats to the sliding mechanism - so that when you fold the seats you can slide them without separately using the sliding lever.
This is the cable at the seat runner end (it's already...
Bit of a random question but anyways...
Looking at photos of the JMS RS2, there seems to be two versions. I don't mean the RS2 Extra (the longer one that can have issues with radiator/slam panel/grill). But rather I mean the regular RS2.
If you look at the photos of them fitted, some of them...
As per the title!
Clio 182, lowered on Cooksports, ET45 wheels (182 Cup), 205 profile tyres.
What size spacers can you run before needing a non fat mates rule?
For a Clio 182, what is a good carpet to fit the boot? (Just the boot, not a van conversion / rear seats removal).
On eBay I've found:

Does anyone know the part number for the JC5 longer 5th gear? The 42/31 one.
It's the fifth gear fitted to:
JC5-072 F9Q 736 Engine
JC5-103 F9Q 736 Engine
JC5-107 Megane 1.9dCi F9Q 105hp Gearbox
JC5-109
JC5-120
JC5-138
So I'm planning on replacing all the engine / gearbox mounts as my car is nearly on 70k now. I'm currently thinking of replacing the DogBone mount with PowerFlex, but replacing the other three mounts all with brand new OEM.
Does anyone have this combination? Or anyone else have any thoughts...
Has anyone found a fix for using LEDs in the interior lights? Other than ditching the LED and going back to a normal bulb! I guess it needs a resistor or a specially designed bulb?
For those that haven’t tried, there’s a problem when you replace the interior courtesy light with an LED bulb...
What's the best replacement Xenon bulbs?
For the standard HID Xenon headlights that are factory fitted to a 182… D2S is the bulb size I think.
I'd read good things on other forums about the Osram Xenarc Cool Blue Intense (if you could stomach the cost of them being £140 a pair :mad:), but I...
Over in the LED Lights thread, there's a list of seven bulbs for the number plate light. The car only needs one, but I want the 'best' one :rasp: rather than to just choose one of them randomly.
Has anyone got one of the seven mentioned? Or bought another bulb and can recommend it?
I took...
Hi,
I have got the Cabasse Auditorium Tuner List head unit in my 182, and would like to get an Aux/iPod input working. I do not have a CD Changer fitted.
I have done some searching, and the results are either for a "Connects2" or a "Tunepoint". What's the differences between the Connects2...
Hi everyone,
As the title says, I've got Cooksport springs on Cup suspension and am looking to hit buy on some rear spacers. The car is running on the standard 205/45/16 tyres.
I've done a bit of reading, but most stuff seems to be about other springs (Eibach etc.) rather than Cooksports...
Thought this morning that I'd take a couple of photos whilst the results of the weekend wash can still be seen.
Photos were taken at 11AM this morning - fog didn't lift all day and was properly thick first thing!
I've noticed that sometimes my cruise control switch won't turn on. It's the rocker switch down on the panel by the ESP button. Sometimes it works fine, but sometimes when you press it on it just bounces straight back to the central position.
If I press and hold the button in, cruise control...
Thought it was looking vaguely clean in the car park, so took a couple of snaps.
Recent changes are Cooksport Springs, Full Suspension Refresh by Dan@SJM, front spacers, and Brembo 4pots with 300mm discs from Pure Motorsport. Will post proper thoughts on the changes once they've got...
Looking for a small hand-held fire extinguisher to keep in the car. Hope to never use it, and would be more likely used to escape from the cabin rather than do any actual fire fighting - if the thing is well on it's way to a fiery inferno I'm not going to be opening the bonnet up to take a...
I thought I understood spacers, but now looking around I'm confused again :S :dapprove:. I know that above 15mm you're best using bolt-to-hub spacers, but as I'm looking below that it will be bolt-through with longer bolts (or studs) for me. Probably looking at 10mm.
Dan@M.A.D. and FK spacers...
I'm looking into wheel stud conversion kits. Top two round here seem to be the Pure Motorsport kit and the K-Tec kit (available in two lengths).
Both kits look pretty similar to me, apart from PMS using an allen key to fit the studs, and K-Tec studs being M12x1.5mm stepping-down to M12x1.25mm...
To save me measuring, I wonder if anyone here knows...
For a specific brake setup I've been told that the 16" five spoke 172 wheels need 10mm wheel spacers. What would the 16” 8-spoke Anthracite wheels from a 182 Cup-pack would need?
I'm going to guess they'd be pretty much the same...
Oh and...
Ignoring all the threads about "Standard callipers are fine", "Wilwoods bend", "I wish I could afford APs"... lets just say you've got 4pots and they're AP/Brembo/Compbrake/HiSpec/Wilwood/whatever.
I've seen comments a few times about pedal travel being rubbish & needing different master...
Sorry, probably not the first time this has been asked, but I'm finding conflicting answers!
So I know that 172 gearboxes use the circlip whereas 182 gearboxes have the diff bolted, and that the phase 1 172 and the 172 cup have a speed sensor integrated into the box, whereas the 182 the speedo...
Currently I've got genuine Renault Trophy/V6 boot struts... but unfortunately as they're 12 years old they're going soft so struggle to hold it open and I've had the boot gently come down on me whilst loading before!
I asked Wests Renault for a quote, but unfortunately they want £206.26 each...
So there's eleventy million different exhausts available for the 182, but I was looking for a definitive list of them noise wise.
IMHO for a road car there's two noises you care about, drone at 80MPH cruising on the motorway (which is bad), and 2. rasp when revving it (if you don't like that...
Silver 182 in the middle lane doing about 80 on the M4 westbound tonight (Thursday) around 8:45pm. Was in between J8 and J9 IIRC. I was the black 182 overtaking you :).
No I'm not female :p. And yes I can park the 182 perfectly fine. Now that's out of the way...
I did find the other day that I nearly forgot that it doesn't have sensors though, because all our other cars have them I guess I kinda got used to them! Has anyone ever retrofitted them to a Clio...
So some of my tyres need replacing, and of-course I'm going to be keeping all four the same brand/model. The one tyre with by far the most tread (5mm and consequently staying!) is an 87W Extra Load, however I understand that the standard tyres they came out the factory with were 83V and that's...
11:50 this morning: Trophy ahead of me in the queue for pump #6 at Shell Downend Bristol.
I was just getting my weekly fill of V-Power, but it was way busier than normal... people panic buying I guess :rolleyes:.
