G 172 I think there's a space in his username

G172 over on cliosport is always a good starting points for brakes, I think he might be on here too!! Top bloke!

Autosmart Tardis

Good to know its an easy fix!

Is it a standard rear bench or half leather?? They can be had for cheap off cliosport and are super easy to swap over

Ahhhh those ones!! I'm not sure the process to remove / refit that bit, I suspect the easiest approach would be to replace the top half of the bench, but someone with more knowledge might be able to advise otherwise? My rear seats were removed 6 months into ownership and won't be returning

They just unbolt, 1 bolt from memory, got any pics?

Agreed, they are designed as a track / race shock and fitted to a road car, if you aren't gonna push them to the limit then just stick cup shocks on and waft around

Especially you decide to sell it on! Personally I'd keep it for the usefulness but if you wanna recoup the costs then sell it on bud! Be aware codes etc can take a while to arrive due to the time difference and Henk is based in the Philippines

Smart that!! Mine has an LED and it blinds me whenever I open the boot at night!!

I'm a big hater of useless comments and comments that don't help sales etc, but couldn't you have them refurbed in the colour you want for less than the cost of another set of wheels? Just a thought

Either way don't let it put you off!! They are a fantastic bit of kit and can save you a lot of money in diagnostics if you decide to keep hold of it!!

Siemens is the ECU used in the 1*2s etc so thats right, but if you look for a V6 ECU is €99 iirc, its been a while since I've looked as its not something I require often!! My tuner is just used for diagnostics and abs/airbag work now

Different prices for different ECUs, I had a chat with Henk about it, if you look there's a drop down with various prices for various ECUs

You'll have to buy an unlock code and the map file which come to around €90 from memory

Bare in mind unlock prices vary depending on the vehicle it was last locked too not the vehicle its being unlocked!! Unlocking from something like a v6 Clio costs double that of a 1*2

Fastchip.nl Its a device / software package that allows you to map the car using a laptop and a cal file that they provide, there's a 98ron map and a 98 Ron "pops and bangs" style map You can either buy new from them or buy second hand on Cliosport and pay for the unlock code + map, a lot of...

I've compared mine with the live map and the RS Tuner as I acquired on the cheap and honestly cant notice any difference between the two, I'd say RS Tuner it unless you're doing other mods that warrant a proper map (RS2, cams, ITBs etc...)

I would avoid moving / driving it in case of damage etc, even though if fitted incorrectly Rentech should repair any damage at no cost!! Pretty easy to swap them over if needs be!

They are 100% fitted the wrong way round..... The reservoir should always be facing toward the rear of the vehicle. I'd of thought you may potentially damage them as the reservoir might foul on the arch etc

I have used this method many times...works well!! I'm only using actual brackets now as I pinched them off a car a mate is breaking!!

Don't forget abs cable brackets for the cup shocks or you'll be using cable ties

For the price of cup shocks they are worth buying and keeping in the garage for just this kind of thing! I hate to admit it but I'm actually enjoying them too, so forgiving!

Anything that's the right spacing would be fine? Cup shocks are pretty good and can be used with standard springs or sportlines etc Will have a set you can borrow in a couple of weeks

Bloody hell, I snapped up 2 brand new rear callipers but no idea what they cost!!

How much are they asking? I bought a set for the fronts for £22 off them??

The ate one is a genuine part too fyi, just a fraction of the price and in an ate box not a Renault one, recently swapped mine and the factory ones all have ATE stamped into them with an identical part number, a mate at Renault also confirmed it was the same ate sensor in a Renault box.....not...

Already filled out the forms etc and sent them off!! The courier damaged the shocks in transit too so they've had to be repaired and powder coated again.....not had much luck !oh well, couple of weeks and the cams and silenced decat go on, feeling some love for the old girl again

Bloody hell Dan's gonna be swamped with Trophy's, the most common of all 182s !!

Brace didn't make any difference at all for me, just on the mounts now with no brace, I wanna rear arb, it's on the list
