    Misfire

    I think i had a similar issue. When accelerating the engine was struggling a bit and i could hear it 'judder'. It turns out one of my plugs went, so i replaced them all which fixed it.

    Specialists in South Wales?

    I've found a specialist in Mamhilad, French Auto Solutions (FASCAR) who seemed pretty knowledgable on 182s and have worked on a few. the only downside is the cost of £843 for the timing belt, aux belt, dephaser pulley, water pump and coolant. Does anyone know anything about this place, and is...

    Greenlight - No more agreed valuations

    I renewed in July. They did up the agreed value, however the price i paid was the same as last year, even though i dropped my millage down to less than 5000 a year - they gave me some excuse about the price of tax being increased or something. I found another broker who offered the same deal...

    Thanks, I'll give him a ring soon; On a seperate note, I think I used to see you driving most morning along the A4042 going into Cwmbran at the start of this year - I was working on the Rechem roundabout upgrade (well, you can't really call it an upgrade)

    Specialists in South Wales?

    Is there a specialist IN South Wales that can do a cam belt change? Both suggestions above are in England! The closest i've found is Le Car which can offer the cambelt and dephaser for about £650,

    Starting issue

    This happened twice before on 2 of my other Clio's - it turns out it was the battery that needed replacing. do you know the age of the battery? mine usually lasted up to 8 years. why dont you test the battery or charge it first to see if that makes a difference?

    Service Time

    it turns out £399 was for a standard clio, while the 182 is £699 for cambelt. they still couldn't get a price for dephaser.

    Service Time

    Thanks for the link. it looks like a cambelt, dephaser and water pump is going to set me back around £700. i wasnt really excpecting it to be that pricey.

    Service Time

    I agree. the lady on the phone didnt have any info to hand and seemed to have just plucked "a few hundred extra quid" out of no where. After i researched online they are about £30.

    Pricing advice

    The wheel bearing will be replaced next week when the Sachs are getting fitted. I will also look into the streering gaiter. The MOT tester told me that the brake discs are slightly corroded because it spends alot of time sitting on the drive and that the handbrake causes this. he suggested that...

    Courier to send dampers to BG

Does this mean you're able to refresh and seal the dampers? if so can you provide a ball park cost for the...

    Would you go back to a standard exhaust

    When I bought my Trophy it had the standard exhaust on it which I was happy with. It inevitably rusted through so I had to buy a enw one. I really didn't want a loud noisy exhaust as I thought they were really chavvy. However I sort of reluctantly bought an RS192 system and hated it on the first...
