Turns out it wasnt wheel bearing(s) having had both replaced! but indeed my grooved discs being the problem. Replaced with standard discs and pads and all is fine.
Mechanic felt so bad that i just paid for parts and no labour :) He was a mate though!
Thanks for the reply. The official answer from Renault is that the Trophy has an extreme pack which i assume is the suspension and that the wheel bearing is different and costs 3x the norm - £60!
Edit: Extreme is the French edition of the 182 with Recaros etc
All,
Can anyone tell me if the front wheel bearing is the same as that of a 182 sport. Mine was being down today but GSF sent two, both of which were incorrect. I've told my mechanic to order straight from Renault in the morning.
Just wondering the experience of others on here.
Thanks,
David.
Hi All,
Been a long time since i was last in and need a bit of help.
I want to get my wheels touched up - they are not bad enough for a complete refurb (wheeks off) i dont think. Can people reccommend a mobile person/company in the essex area that can do i good job?
Cheers
David.
What do you guys do with the pouch that the tyre weld comes in... my rattles around the boot annoying the hell out of me... what do people do to secure it? Velcro?
