    general suspension question

    Hi everyone, I have a question on the whole suspension setup that I'm hoping that someone can help me with; What parts are there that wear out?! It is kind of hard to explain how my car does not feel as it once did, perhaps the best explanation is that i feel a little bit of a shudder through...

    towing eye location?

    Does anyone know if the towing eye can be screwed in at the back? My brothers car has broken down, so I was going to give a tow. The manual suggests the that it screws in somewhere under the back bumper, but neither of us could see where... Can it be done on a 182?

    fitting headlight bulbs?

    A bit of advice please, One of my headlight bulbs has gone, how easy are these to fit? If i have very little patience or dexterity but also money (!) should i do this myself, or go to a garage to get it done? (To give you an idea of my skills, I fitted the wiper stalk myself, but it took me...

    potential problem

    Just left my car with a renault service centre - oil and stop lights have been coming on intermittently. Oil isn't low, and I have never let it get low. They have said that they need the car maybe for up to a day to properly diagnose, and said it could potentially be a big problem and I...

    Traction Control and Service Warning Lights

    I had a similar problem, the cruise control didn't work either when the TC and service lights came on. I eventually managed to drive to dealer with the lights still on so they saw i!. It was something to do with the brake pedal switch, which they replaced. I'm sure ive read that this is a common...

    Slight Creaking From Front of Car.

    I had something which pretty much fits your description exactly, got the car looked at by the dealer, and after what i would consider to be pretty appalling service from them, it eventually got to the "RTE". (it seems that there was only one person at the dealer who actually know anything...)...

    50k miles!

    Haven't really had any major problems in 50k. a couple of minor ones early on, the brake switch problem that stops cruise control esp etc form working, which I gather is farily common on 182s. Also had difficulties getting the bonnet open - a mechanic at the renault garage pushed down on it at...

    Trophy in Scarborough 21/5/07

    I think that was me! My car is normally in need of a clean, whenever i think i should wash it, i end up going for a drive instead! I don't have an aftermarket exhaust, though I think this was just before i got the exhaust adjusted. (don't know what was wrong with it, but it seemed to be blowing...

    A job dilemma 3

    I do lots of miles driving to and from work, as well as lots of leisure miles in mine. (now on 37k) depends on what the commute is like - for me it is generally before rush hour in the morngin and there is lots of opportunity to enjoy the car on quieter roads, and roundabouts, also, there is...
