If you can hang on MPS 3‘s should be back in stock early September according to my local dealers.
If not RainSport 2 and Pirelli PZero are apparently very good.
To be honest you would find it extremely difficult to find someone willing to part with just one damper.
The last set of new old stock sold on FB for around £500.
Your best bet is to buy a new pair of 182 cup dampers.
The only reason I’m reluctant to post is I have recently had a bad experience with Parcelforce and also they are quite heavy so it won’t be cheap.
Im happy for you to arrange your own courier to collect.
Purchased new 18 months ago along with powerflex bushes.(receipts to prove).
They had been on my 182 for about a 2k miles and lately the Trophy for less than 500!
To buy new this package is £850.
Ideal for a trophy owner who uses their car all year and wants to swop over for track or preserve...
Hope you get this sorted ed.
I think we all need to take on board what is happening here.
I now feel lucky to come away with a new reservoir and a shaft to get my set back to working order.
Servicing the Sachs every few years is one thing but when you send them to BG and even they can no longer...
Welcome along.
Lots of information and tips on here.
BG Motorsport currently have my Sachs but there are other companies that can carry out a refurb.
Regarding the rear springs you are faced with aftermarket ones as with the front splitter.
You can fit OEM 182 cup springs and K-tec do a rather...
I had the same dilemma with my 182 and fitted all of the above myself.
As you are already paying the labour to replace a lot of the front end components I would go for it.
Also taking into consideration how cheap the Oem wishbones are which come complete with bushes, bottom swivels it’s a no...
knowing first hand how much it costs to get any 182/Trophy to a standard that would entice a true car enthusiast/collector I believe the first 3 cars will sell.
Car number 4 is unfortunately a unicorn that is probably destined for a museum.
I thankfully blame Harry for all this hype but to be...
Good work. I’m sure the short duct route to the brakes will definitely aid cooling to the calipers.
182s always look mean and nasty without front fogs.
Thanks for the link and at a great price too.
Just need to decide on which way to go, Pro or Sport. I do like the look of the lower ride height but after putting my BG back on stock dampers and springs I was quite shocked as to how well she rode on our crap roads.
I have used Poorboys for a few years now on my cars and it easy to apply and buffs off without too much effort.

I spoke Mark Fish this week and I can confirm he can no longer supply the Koni re valved dampers (only the standard Koni sport ones) and also he has changed supplier on his springs to Eibach. He says they are slightly stiffer and lower the ride height by 15mm.
From a recent buyers perspective it is becoming increasingly difficult to find cars in good original condition without Moon mileage.
The best cars will now sell to fellow enthusiasts privately or auction sites where investors will dive in.
The 182 Trophy is at a price point still low enough for...
From a newbies perspective who has just bought a great low mileage car I feel lucky.
These cars have an almost cult following, under 500 cars available and good ones dont come up for sale that often.
I looked for ages before and after Stefans car and they all had either too many miles, mods or...
They would sell like hotcakes if they looked good and the Renault emblem was in the correct chrome effect.
The price of new speedlines is significantly cheaper than a set of secondhand Renault ones plus the refurb costs.
I refurbed the rear beam on my 182 and as ever with Renault they suddenly seem to stop making parts which are handed.
went down the braided brake line route after buying the OS one!
Luckily my original axle clips came off ok and I refitted them with some waterproof adhesive. I know it’s not OEM...
