Finally got my service done, Renault confirmed a smaller service was fine after looking through all of my receipts from previous work. A few things they advised me on, some of which I knew, but nothing major fortunately.
Only cost £139 so I was quite chuffed. I haven't actually checked everything they did, and frankly I can't be bothered.
I drove a new shaped normal Clio as a courtesy car today, it felt like getting into a racing car when I got in my 182 again! haha. I also NEVER knew that you could lower the seats in the 182, I accidentally discovered that today

Those who have/had brembo hc and ds2500, how many miles do you get out of them? I don't really want to have to spend that amount very often!
How much did it cost you all in?

Yeah thats exactly right, but I also got 2ltrs of dot5.1 which is £30 and rear oem discs + ds2500 rear pads which brings it to £530
Paid around £300 for the lines, DS2500's fronts, Brembo HC's, standard rear pads, Fluid & bleed kit. Did the rear discs a few months later for £100 with bearings via JMS.
Rear DS2500's are around £80/90 from memory.
As for the mileage it depends how you drive. The occasional hoon and I probably only used about 60 or 70% of what was on offer and after around 5k miles they hadn't really looked touched. Though I used to engine brake a lot.

They go up and down with a lever
What he said.
I only discovered the lever today. Felt weird being so low though so I put it back.
I think it needs to be lower still, going to take the nuts and replace the washers out of mine at some point.

I must be short then! I found it odd being too low down, didn't feel as in control.
I'm 5'8".
I'm slightly over 6ft, I think Mike has lowered his even more than normal.

Maybe I'll give it a try. What's the benefit of being lower though? I felt like I couldn't see as much, just felt odd.
