I will add more picture when i pick it up tomorrow... hopefully everything is sorted then.

Let me know what you think....

I live in the warrington/widnes so i will hope to see some of you cruising around.

[DebV6]

It looks nice, although the pics are really small, can't see them very well.

Hope you enjoy it fella. Just been out and drove my 3rd 182 today in the past month and have finally found one I happy with.

Do you mind if I ask what sort of price you paid with milage and owners etc?

 

[Tigger]

Very nice, enjoy it and welcome to ClioSport too

£6k 30k miles one owner from new, fsh. With the extras i added came to £7k but i got 2.5K for mine and that has 60k.

I saw one in scotland for £7k with 21k miles one owner in the lighter blue and that is absolutly perfect by the looks of thing (I saw pictures only). However they said that i would have to wait ten days for it to be brought to warrington and then pay £150.00 for transport. Wasnt to keen on the colour in the pictures but saw one the other day and they are quite nice.

I went through arnold clark as i was on finance with my clio 1.4 16v billabong. Made sense to do this...

Thanks bud.

Just ensure you get the cambelt and aux belt changed as part of the deal, the aux belt should be changed at 36k, the cambelt at 72k,

Though, 72k or 5 years, so its probably due within the next 9-10months and will set you back £800+ from renault.

Independant man will be £550 ishy, parts alone are £300..

This done as part of the service? If so i believe i have paid for this already.

Last two pics look like they were taken from the moon.

Hope your happy with it.

I would check this with them, the cambelt is either 5 years or 72,000miles, the aux belt was ment to be 72,000miles too, but they were failing and taking the cambelt with them. They both share the same bottom pulley you see, so they reduced the aux belt to 36,000miles.

Aux belt change is about £230-280.

The car your buying is well within the mileage for the cambelt, as being on 30,000miles they will give it oil, oil filter, air filter, pollen filter, the aux belt and a good look over, as a 36,000mile service.

The first 182's were roughly registered in March 2004, so on that terms a 04 182 could be up for cambelt change in March 2009 (2 1/2months time). You dont say what age,or plate the car is to work out what is what, but not so long ago renault put there prices up of the aux & cambelt parts, probably on the basis that they will be needed more now, than in the past.

Its just to give you a little help here, as no one likes to get stung for a cambelt change 12months into ownership.

Other things to check are -

Rear back boxes exhaust brackets, the rubber 'X' perishes, and the back boxes hang low, causing the cat to crack.

Suspension knocking / clunks when reversing with full lock on, top struts catching under bonnet.

Steering wheel pealing on the rubber bits

Bonnet catch on slam panel rusting and sticking open, was a recall on this.

cant think of anything else major here...

There great cars, just get an K&N Apollo induction kit on it, some good tyres and your away. Front disks are £60 from Yozza Sport here, rear disks rarely need changing till 60k, michelin exaltos are about £85-95 each.

Aux belt was £175 for me a couple of weeks ago.
And don't get a K&N.
