I had them move this car to their West Bromwich branch which is closer to me living in the Midlands, went over to look at this afternoon, the main faults with these cars appeared to be ok on this car such as gearbox, steering rack and swivel joints, etc, my main problem with car was when I...

Anyone know anything about a Red 200 being sold at Evans Halshaw in Gateshead, the registration was S24 KEM and is now WJ12 KZZ ?.

I look at that and think £6k would get a really nice 182 and i could keep it after 2 years.

I did this type of deal on a 306 D Turbo back in the late nineties, i opted for the 6,000 miles a year payment as the pence per mile penalty of going over the agreed mileage slightly was a lot less than paying the extra every month for the 12,000 mile agreement, at the end of the 2 years i...

I tweaked mine by hand very carefully so it was not touching in the centre and it sat evenly and straight on the edges so the rubber blocks on the tailgate held it down firmly.

How many revs are you giving it when cold?, i seem to remember the ecu on 172/182's has a built in inhibitor to stop you over revving the engine when cold and causing any long term damage, after about 10 - 20 secs or so it will run fine, when i first started my 182 up from cold and left home, it...

Did the garage check the wiring to the ecu?, i seem to remember if the harness to the ecu rubs through on the ecu bracket it can cause rough running/misfires.

Yes, i have found that if you apply some grease to the lock mechanism, the rattle goes away, also check that the parcel shelf is not rattling.

Nope, no modifications are needed and the UCH is setup already to use the stalk, it is a common mod done by the trophy boys as the trophy is based on the cup, do a search on cliotrophy for the part number of the stalk, i think new they are about £45, but you should be able to get one from a...

That pdf just covers the basic clio functions, there is a seperate renaultsport thin manual that covered the 182's, i used to have it as a pdf, when i get home i will check if i still have it on my main pc, you can get a used foglight from cliospares.

Swap it for a dynamique stalk with variable wiper speed.

I think i used a company called click 4 gap, when i bought my 182 in 2006, it was significantly cheaper than Renaults own gap insurance, but as they say, you only know how good the insurance is when you need to claim on it and i didn't.

Found the manual online now - http://cdn.steampowered.com/Manuals/44310/F1_2010_G4W_Manual_US_v06.pdf looks like it is button 'O'.

Is there now a button you can press to request to come back to the pits for tyres etc, when playing F1 2009 on the wii and the tyres start going off, i have had to wait till they nearly destroyed and pits tell me to come in.
