It used to be mine! but i traded it in for an r26 back in 2008

Sorry can see a few show stoppers here!! lol 1. Where will you store the car your taking the engine from if you dont want your parents to find out 2. Insurance will eat you alive 3. how will you explain why your car is off the road for a couple of weeks 4. If you cant afford the £3000 could...

yeah exactly that. It gets smoother as the revs go up. Sadly to say though its not a motor bike its a push bike !! I needed to get fit anyway, happy days!!!!

Just gone out to try and start it again. I dont think its in limp mode as revs dont seem to be restricted. The clutch does'nt feel right and I could'nt get it into reverse as easily as before without it crunching. Just got my bike out the shed so I can get to work tomorrow!! lol

I guess it is in limp mode but it doesnt sound good and its the last thing I need at the moment. Does the garage have to take it out of limp mode?

Hi wonder if anyone can help. I was just on driving along a dual carrageway in 5th and came up to some slower moving traffic so I dropped it into 4th to over take, However I missed 4th and got second. The engine cut out and I coasted to a halt. I turned everything off and started the car...

I've spoke with Andy at GDI, he could fit one, but not code it to the car. I've spoke to another Renault garage (not a dealership) but they want to run another diagnostic test on it to confirm Renault are right about the problem. but thats £50. He said he could do the work just on what the...

I'll let you know how I get on, my key fob just does'nt work at all!! I would'nt of thought the UCH would be much different between the models. (i'm no expert though!!) I just think my local dealer is rubbish, i'm never been confident with them. I've not phoned GDI yet so we will see!! Paul.

Ok i've done a search, and i've found out what a UCH is. By what I can tell all Renault have to do is replace it a programme it? Is a UCH expeensive or is it just Renaults labour charge bumping up the cost. From what i've read its not something I can do.

Hi All I wonder if any of you guys can help. I went to Renault as i've had a problem for a while where I have not been able to use the 'blip' on my key. Replaced the battery and ordered a new key which Renault have programmed (needed a new key anyway). However this has not resolved the...

I've been looking for another car for the past year, i'm bored with the daily drive to work and back in it, never taking it over 4k revs because its just town driving and sitting in traffic and i'm always enquiring about other cars, but then I clean it and take it for a blast and I fall in love...

I thought the r26 was softer then the cup because it has more toys and the soft touch dash? I would'nt cancel my order just because of Clarkson's review. Lets be fair 0.xx of a second makes no difference in the real world. Unless you prefer the power delivery of a turbo or think it might...

I doubt they will launch a more powerful version just a different flavour otherwise the Clio will be competing with the Megane. If you waited and waited you'd never buy as new cars or variations are coming out all the time. Buy it. Its my favorite car at the moment!

If Renault are going to do a stripped out hardcore version, I doubt they would do it at the beginning of this models life. It will be a end of the line outgoing model. We will probably see a couple of face lifts before then. Look at the Megane. The R26 has come out years after the first 225...

50K? i'm sure I read the average was more like 200K. I know i'm on 350K and I drive a Clio not a Ferrari because there's not a car been made yet that can beat a 182 in the twisty's! Hope you get a good price for it if you decide to sell. Sounds like a lot of money has been spent on it and...

If your missus has only just started driving, my girlfriend does'nt drive but if I put her on my insurance 1 it would probably triple, 2 I would age at least 10 years on her first drive. (not because she is a girl but because of her driving experience) and I can see how you could save a couple...

thanks for the advice i'm going to give it another go tomoorow!! Cheers Paul.

Hi guys Not sure if i'm being dumb here, but I've brought a replacement standard Clio 182 cup splitter from Renault because the other one came off and i'm having a few problems fitting it. It looks like the original one had been fitted by having new holes drilled rather then using the...

Nice one Jimbo, when we met and you said you were getting an R27, you never mentioned how special to you and your family it would be!! Enjoy! Paul.

Brand new 182 FF + cup packs, brought for £13000 in june 04. Still have it now and only on 25000 miles.

I was in MK today, but mine is silver. I saw a black Clio 1*2 today heading towards Xcape he glanced at me I was sitting in traffic heading in the opposite direction, that was late afternoon, Paul

Cup packed 182 with a private plate and a non-standard exhaust. You were sitting in Mcdonalds drive through in Leagrave on Saturday about 2:30 ish. Cliosport sticker in the back window.

3 years 3 months for me from new. The longest i've ever owned a car. Occasionally I look round at other cars but i've found nothing yet that makes me want to sell.

The RS's are already low compared to the standard Clio. Thats why you won't notice much of a drop when you fit them. Sportlines, Prolines arn't specific for the Renaultsport. Thats why on the box they are quoted to having up to 40mm drop or whatever is because that is what you would get of...

Jesus you've lost a lot of money in depreciation!! Do you just love writing dealers cheques? I wont sell my 182 because I dont want to lose 5 and half grand in three years! and I think i'm being robbed!! If you can afford it though then fine!

mats nicked too!

I'm looking for a bike carrier myself at the moment. I've been putting my bike in the car, touch wood i've not yet but I can see myself damaging the seats accidently one time. Also I can't have people in the back. Plus with winter coming up and I want to do some offroading I don't fancy...

Reading this thread is painful to say the least!! When was the car registered? It does'nt matter if your the 1st owner or 10th. If its less then 3 years old take it to the dealer instead of tracing wires or whatever they will fix it. As said, your more likely to find out the problem by...

What suspension are you running H+R's?

I'd expect more judging by what others have got including myself with a similar setup
