p.s already starting to miss the 182 and it hasn't even gone yet, sure an R26 will be just as fun!!

3 weeks on here coming up for two on autotrader and I have a buyer! Deposit paid arranging collection so hopefully all will go smoothly. Funny thing is 2 hours after agreeing on a price I had another call offering the asking wanting to pick up same day for cash. I turned him away as everything...

I would avoid p/x ing at a Renault dealership as they will offer you peanuts (was offered 3425 for my '04 182 both cup packs 35k on the clock, belts and 5 yr service done etc...). Even though they were selling a virtually identical 182 at one of their dealership up for.......6995 quite a margin...

Mine's been on here Renaultsport and Meganenet for two weeks and autotrader for 1 and I've only had a couple of people PM and no calls from autotrader yet. Dropped the price a bit on Friday so hoping the second week on Autotrader will get some calls. To be honest the second hand RS's aren't...

Hey wozza I see you've joined up here now, great place for all Clio related info! Good luck with the swap. I'm still saving at the moment to add cash should be ready in a couple of months if you'd still be interested in mine, unless yours or mine sells before then! Not RB but you'll struggle to...

Thanks for the advice all! Easy job afterall. Didn't need to take the wheel off in the end and did use a jack mainly to help line up the bottom bolt when fitting the new shock on. Anybody thinking of paying Renault the £70 the want to fit one shock don't bother do it yourself with a friend to...

Not replacing as a pair as I am selling the new owner will be told and can then replace the other if they wish.

Thanks guys. so if I do go the jacking up route where is the official jacking point?

Hi All, Am going to my mates to replace a rear shock tonight he has plenty of experience as he's a mechanical engineer but I still want to check a couple of things. Can somebody who knows for definite confirm that: I do not need to jack the car up I do not need to remove the wheel I...

Ordered my rear shock today (Great price from Karl at SMCRenault, great discounts on parts for RenaultSports members! Highly recommended!) and am going to fit it with a mate who has all the right tools and is a mechanical engineer so should know his way around a spanner Does anybody know how...

Great thanks for all the advice!

Thanks All one last question am I ok to continue driving the car at the moment or is this dangerous or damaging?

This is a price to supply and fit 1 if I go the DIY route is it best to order direct from a local Renault dealer? Or is there a better alternative? Don't have many car related tools what would I need in order to make sure he bolts were correctly tightened?

Typically as I was about to put my 182 up for sale I discovered a leaking rear shock. So I need to get this sorted before I put it on the Market! I've been quoted £130.75 Inc VAT parts and labour by my local Renault garage is this a good price? I know the part is £58.49 is 70 odd quid...

Pedal Neon!?!? Surely that's overkill!

Bought some of this http://www.i4detailing.co.uk/acatalog/Duragloss_Aquawax_1.html Just wondering if there are any parts of the car that I should avoid getting this on? Black plastic, clear plastic (Headlights), wheels and glass I'm thinking to avoid these areas? Thanks

29 and bought a 182ff last week!

Thanks again for all the advice, now all I need is for the kit to turn up and a good day to get all the work done! Does anybody use a car cover or know where you can buy one that'll fit a clio 182? I have a driveway but no garage....

Thanks All for the suggestions. I have ordered the Kev1 kit! From I4detailing. With one exception I went for the meg clay kit as then I didn't have to fork out quite so much in one go getting all the bits to go with the Sonus clay! Will post picks once I get the stuff in and a good day to...

Thanks for all the greetings! Hopefully spot a few of you out and about.

Stumpy the tenner is well worth it the guides saved me far more than that and stopped me buying a 182 which looked good at first glance but needed a fair amount spent to get it where I'd want it.

Not had a Scooby. But just to let you know what you can get for your budget, last week I bought a Titanium 182 FF '04, 31k, both Cup Packs, Mint Condition, frsh, belts done, 4 brand new PE2 tyres for under 6k, private seller. And I'm loving it!

Thanks guys that's great, I'll give Halfords and the products you've suggested a shot and see how it comes out!

Thanks Is Halfords the best place to buy from or should I try one of the online stores with the cliosport discount? I had a quick look at i4detailing but there's so much on there I didn't have a clue what to choose!

Hi All, Just got a 182 in Titanium last week, looks great at the moment and I want to keep it looking that way. Anybody recommend some products to keep it looking shiny and new?? Anything particularly recommended for the Titanium paintwork? Basically I am starting from scratch as the...

Thanks all that's great!

Hi All just bought a 182 and it has generic car mats. Does anybody know if you can buy Renaultsport mats from anywhere? Not hugely bothered but I'd like a set if they are available. Thanks

Hi Stumpy, Just bought a 182 last week after a long time researching and looking for a good one. I found the guides section on here absolutely brilliant there's one which lists through all of the common problems to look for which really helped when looking them over in the flesh. I got a...

Thanks for the tip, think I'll give Mark Fish a go when the time comes!

Hi people. I'm in Harold Wood near Brentwood/Romford. Yellow Dave thanks for the tip on Mark Fish, Harlow isn't too far from me. See you've got a 182 as well how much does a basic service set you back? Plugs oil and filters...
