I have also noticed my rear fog lights seem to turn themselves on aswell. I was thinking it was just me but on about 10 occasions i have noticed that im suddely driving along with my fogs on.
As for the lumpyness when cold i dont find it too bad i just notice the engine is very tight and does not want to rev. Which isnt a bad thing as less damage can be done.
The gear box was very hard and i struggled to find 2nd and 3rd for a small period but it has got better over time. When pushing the car i just found it hard to find the gears but like i said all sorted now i have covered more mile, though it seems not enough to get the LOOK AT ME AWARD i have done the most miles
As for the stereo, mine goes loud enough to destort the speakers. I noticed sometimes when i use cds its very quite but i just recorded them with a higher input level.

Paul and famguy that's interesting as it's exactly what I am having. Renault wish to inspect mine further so it would seem that it shouldn't be as difficult to select 2nd as it is but it does seem to have improved now it's got 1500 miles on the clock.
Also when changing at about 6k do any of you hear a noise from the front of the car when depressing the clutch? Difficult to describe the noise tbh so no worries if you have no idea what I'm talking about!

yeah between 25-28mpg average. 34 on a cruise and about 23 on when my right foot is feeling heavy.
I do actually get a knocking when i take the handbrake off but only one knock then thats it.
Also i do find it a pain to get it into second gear especially when ur red lining it in first i find i really have to chuck it into second or an embarasing bounce off the limiter follows.
trip computer shows an average of 26mpg, but if you use the miles on the car divided by the gallons used feature it shows an average of 38mpg.
Don't know what to believe tbh, put petrol in when needed job done.
Danny aye pollockshaws again had no issues at all in and away after 40 mins so not too bad.

I have never had probs putting it in gear. The gas clutch ration can make it kangaroo when you first drive it but thats just getting used to it and compensating. Also about the cold is that it soulds really good in the cold .
I havent had any probs with mine, mayb i have been lucky, yes it jumps when you take the hand break off, there is also a hissing at the rear like its air, like a coach dropping down for an old person, hasnt done any harm tho. All in all i think the boot is the only crap bit of the car cos i always seem to manage to slam it but who cares Its french, but its really fun and its cheap
Saying that the petrol is a concern but its naturally aspirated engine, it was also cheaper for me to get insured in a GTI mpg would be better but its turbod.

I always found my 182 quite efficient on a long motorway journey. Pretty bad when going for it or in town traffic, but as you say Louis, it's NA.
For me, that's one of the best things about it - the high rev limit, brilliant throttle response, linear delivery (discounting the cam change kick). The very need to keep it wound up is one of the things that makes it so addictive to drive on a good road.
With turbo torque you're inherently less dependent on perfect heel and toe gearchanges and you don't need to rev out every last ounce of potential from each of the perfectly matched gears, but that's what makes driving so much fun!
It'll be a sad day indeed when the get rid of the NA engine in the Clio, which looks likely to happen for the Mk4.

The dip in revs is due to air being drawn into the engine i believe as it is naturally aspirated. I think a turbo would reduce the lag, that why in GTI (similar stats 2ltr engine) or a mini, you have power throughout the gears which is not the case in the clios. On the other hand it is more fun this way.

Corrected your post for you as i think you are lying to yourself
