Would it be easier if people copy and pasted the list and just kept it updated as they go?

Just before people forget there's going to be a separate thread then wonder why they might have missed it.

I concur.

Why so fussed about the miles, out of curiosity?

Was in touch with K-tec who wanted £24 for one off a car they were breaking. :rolleyes: Ended up getting these- https://www.onlinecarparts.co.uk/metalcaucho-8538068.html They're based on the older part number. I ordered 2 and they even managed to look different to each other which didn't fill...

From everything I've heard it's the first number and Renault now no longer supply both. That second number does appear on some of the sites Phil mentioned though.

Local Renault dealer has said the same now.

I've got the girl at ktec saying the number you've given me was superceded by the first number I mentioned.

I've asked the garage to enquire, I shall report back one way or another and hopefully spread the good word. Have found a few threads now online with a similar story but no end result better than getting one from a breaker.

Thanks, I just hope there's availability on it in the UK.

I have literally just found that number here at number 10 after extensive googling of the original part number-...

This is a copy and paste job from the cliosport forum, in a bit of a bind at the minute. One of mine is broken and the garage and RPD are having trouble sourcing these, seems Renault no longer supply. What other options are there given it's just a cheap bracket? Assume other folk have had this...

I don't agree with that necessarily. You can get a decent one for less than £6k that's just on higher miles. Mine must still be worth about £5k on 108k miles and there's no way it isn't 'a decent one'.

I'm in if it's all guaranteed they're the correct spec with confirmation. On the plastic tubing front, I did this in 2017 with stuff I bought off amazon and it's easy enough with hot water and penetrating oil. Will link to the stuff when I get a chance.

I could well be interested. In the interests of fairness though, given we're not talking about loads of these, would it be fairer to limit it to one set per member? Obviously it's entirely up to you but given they're officially out of production it would help more owners.

I asked the same question almost a year ago and took the advice of the specialist I use (SWR) and opted to change it at the 3 years. It'll come as a kit with the tensioner from renault.

Anyone refusing paypal over a transaction as big as this is an awkward shit at best. I wouldn't be touching that personally.

What a fantastic mix. Just need a barge to complete!

Why on earth would they stop producing these?

I think looking at pretty much any car in terms of a real investment is the wrong way to go about things. In general, I'd say it's the sort of people who won't truly appreciate the cars for what they are that think like that though. Like seeing an F40 that's only done 2k miles and such like.

Take comfort in knowing that with a limited number in the first place they can only go up again as the years roll on.

The ad expired.

Ah ok. 9 years NCB, no points and a good post code should hopefully fair better!

How much was it if you don't mind? My renewal with Aviva is only £280 but I wouldn't mind paying a bit more for an agreed value policy.

These days? You make it sound like they're at the bottom of their depreciation! As a percentage I'd say they're worth significantly more than a regular 182, all else being equal. Mine was £5k on over 70k miles 4 years ago. It's now on over 100k miles and I'd suspect I'd get £5k again for it...

What's the latest on Greenlight with the Trophy? Renewal is due in a a few weeks and I've wondered about an agreed value policy this time.

Mine is bubbling here but I didn't realise it was common to a specific side. What causes it?

I'll take a PM if you're offering a copy and paste summary?

Got the gearbox out just now and a chap on cliosport has refurbished it and the diff, going to chuck a clutch in too given it's stripped that far and over 100k miles. What are folks thoughts on brands? Sachs is always a safe bet in my eyes but a quick google had a few folk mentioning to stick...
