In each front top corner of my interior there are a couple of mysterious looking items, they are black boxes about 1cm x 1cm square and look like tiny speakers with a wire from each onto going into the headlining and are located either side of the windscreen. what are they? are they sensors...

Oh must own up aswell, the drivers side damage was caused by myself where i park underground there are pipes in certain places that drip "limescale" and this stuff was impossible to remove and I bodged trying to get it off. Ive since been told it reacts with the lacquer and causes a...

Cheers for the advice the quote was £120 for the scratch repair on the back bumper and £225 for the other work (the drivers side will need 2-3 hours of fine sanding + machine polishing to sort out) . Its a company called CVS (in Jersey..channel islands which explains the high price not many...

Took the 182 to a local car detailing place (whom i consider to be very reputable and knowledgable) and they have quoted me approx £350 for some work as follows: - repair deep scratch on rear bumper (approx 3" long and down to the plastic) - fill + paint a chip on passenger door edge -...

Welcome :) I see around 30mpg give or take, under 25 if pushing. You will get rattles that is something you will have to learn to live with with the clio im afraid! (Along with squealing power steering and noisy indicators...). Mine seems to do it from the glovebox area... (my old 1.2 used to...

I picked up the magazine at the weekend - very interesting article - I thought that they could have given more info on the facelift model. Definitely a hardcore machine and still stunning in the flesh (especially the facelift version - ill take one in blue please!!).

regardless of version they are all essentially the same GREAT car. What i found interesting was the noise difference compared to the 172 not just the exhaust note (which was great) but the noise from the gearbox and engine under power was very very nice starting with different pitched whines...

eek beat me to it what he said!

full fat - i think it means a version with all the goodies like climate control / cd changer / abs - whereas the "cup" version doesnt have those things thus is lighter and also due to lighter wheels etc

nice one, it does have the dark wheels it wasnt a renault dealer so ill get on to the renault garage once its in my hands.

Hi All posted last week about viewing a 172 and today i put down my deposit on a blue 182 picking it up early next week!! Had arranged a test drive today on a 2003 172 and last night i spotted what i thought was a cup at another dealer, so phoned this morning to enquire, turned out it was...

Haha yes i remember - the extreme went back to the stealer when i moved - someone got a damn fine car it served me well. 7k is less than i was expecting.

Hi Folks, Just thought i would say hi - Its been a long long time since I have visited these boards from when I used to own a mark 3 clio 1.2 and I used to live in London. Since then I moved to another part of the UK through work, have settled down and currently drive a '96 Nissan Primera (2...

Cheers guys yeah know what you are saying but its happened to me before where someone has hit me at slow speed and I didnt see any damage till the next day which put me 200 quid out of pocket for repairs. It looked like no damage but i couldnt tell that well at the time. But i checked again...

Is it just me that has this problem cos it seems that everytime i get in the car there is some crazy nutter magically atttracted to me. Sitting at some lights this morning and bloke in a people carrier behind nudges me - id guess he slipped off the clutch. He sort of mouths sorry and puts his...
