Away to go pick up a Monaco Blue 172. First thing needed done to it is a suspension change. Looking at Gaz and Bilstein b14 coilovers. Had b14s on my Astra VXR Burg,quite liked them to honest. What like are they on a Clio? Any reviews on Gaz? Also,looking at changing top mounts,both lower...

Tomorrow is going to be an interesting day. Away to the dealer I bought my 61 plate 200 from. I bought the car start of december. Car was 1st registered Sep. 2011 so that makes it roughly 5 months out of Renault warranty although I did take out a warranty with the dealer. Now my list of...

Just picked up my GW 200 today. Loving it so far. Only downside I'd say so far is the Recaros seem very flimsy. The drivers bolster has a slight bit of wear and would like to get this sorted before it gets worse. Anyone recommend anywhere in Scotland who repairs seats? Was thinking on getting...

My 182 is not handling quite as well as it should, so I'm looking to give the steering and suspension an over haul. What parts should I be looking to change? Got a set of Eibach sportlines coming, and waiting on a price for a new set of standard shocks Should I be looking to change the...

After swapping my steering wheel over tonight,I now have the serv and traction control warning light now on. Followed the guide on here and was simple enough. Any idea what the problem could be. Double checked all the wires were properly connected before putting air bag back on. Don't fancy...

I need to disconnect my battery for fitting my new steering wheel. Does the standard CD player have a security code? Cos I don't have one!

How much roughly would i be looking at for getting 4 wheel alignment checked on a 182? Seen it advertised for £160,i thought that was a bit steep?

Got a rattling kind of noise coming from the front of the car when I have the air con on. Air con Pump be knackered? If so is it an expensive/difficult fix? And is it dangerous to drive,would it take the aux belt if it fails altogether?

That wonderful time of year again.....mot time! Car today failed on a broken front spring and rear wheel bearing. Anyone know roughly what sort of labour time would be involved in sorting these 2 issues?

Never noticed my drivers door was so badly dented (by inconsiderate c***s) in car parks until yesterday. Anyone know the best place for getting this repaired in the aberdeen or shire area? Quite a few come up on a google search but unsure what company to go for as never seen any of there work.

Just got my car back after a timing belt/dephaser pulley change. Now when I lock the car the alarm gives a constant high pitched beep which lasts about 2-3 minutes then stops. I realise they had to take the bumper etc off but can't understand why any of this would upset the alarm ? Gonna be...

Anyone recommend anywhere in Scotland to get my 182's steering wheel refurbished? Fed up looking at the melted mess in front of me.

Just reliesed I've cracked my drivers side front fog lamp. Are they the same light unit used across the whole phase 2 range? Would a lamp off a Campus fit? Are they easy to change over?

Excuse my ignorance but is the Aux belt and the alternator belt the same belt on a Clio 182?

My Clio 182 doesnt have the Cup suspension pack on it. Gonna try and get hold of Cup springs ,is it worth getting the shocks aswell? Or would i better off just getting hold of an aftermarket lowering kit? I dont wont to go too low and certainly dont want it to be rock hard.
