Thanks for the advice, guys. I don't fancy putting my car through the local Renault dealer, with its 18 year old mechanics. I've seen the way they drive the between the car park and the workshop. It's like a 30 metre drive, and they generally do it flat out in first! I'll check out the...

Our 182 is about to hit 36,000 miles. So it's up for its third service. Thing is, does the warranty run out at 3 years (it's only a year old) or after 36,000 miles? If it runs out at 36,000 miles, we won't bother paying Renault prices for the service - better to take it to a cheaper (and more...

Just about to slip onto the A1 - I almost caught it up in my arctic blue 182 before the roundabout, but it went south and I went north - anybody here?

Parked all day in Stamford Broad Street, yesterday (Monday). Anybody here? It was still there at 5.45pm!

Fitting a stereo into a Clio is a complete b*****d of a job, cause theres not a lot of room! Especially if you get one of the boxes for making the steering wheel controls work! You have to fart about threading wires and cables down into the tiniest of spaces! Ive fitted loads of stereos into...

Clarkie - off topic, man, but dont sell your motor. Its nice to see other 172s and 182s around town!

Yeah, Ive seen that disgusting yellow thing - Im sure it comes from Casterton. Its bloody awful! I bet it does 0-60 in 12 seconds as well! My 182 is Arctic Blue, with the cup packs. Itll either be me or my missus driving!

Im from Stamford - this one was definitely a Trophy - 05, red, with Trophy down the side! Looked well nice, even though Im not keen on red motors, cause they always fade - my red XR2 went orange after a short while! Ive seen a few silver ph1s in Stamford - maybe Ive seen you driving about...

Was driving into Stamford down Barnack Road the other day in our Arctic Blue 182, and saw a Trophy leaving the town - first one Ive ever seen. The colour looks nice ... ... but not as nice as Arctic Blue!

I heard this car the other day sounding its horn, and it was like Tarzans jungle cry! Freaked me out! But my niece says that my 182 horn sounds limp-wristed! I rarely use mine - when I get road-rage, I find that I can swear louder than my gay horn ... ooer.

My missus is quite fit, and she drives our arctic blue 182 ... well, she can look quite fit, when she puts in the effort ...

Nice one ... Ill do that. Would be handy if he could.

Yeah, I saw their website earlier, when I was doing a search online. But I need my car every day, really, and I couldnt take all four wheels off anyway to send them away ... Id have to leave the car on blocks! Its a shame Birminghams so far away, cause they do a drive-in service there. I like...

Did a search, but nothing helpful in the results ... Im getting a Punto HGT the middle of next week, and the alloys are silver. Thing is, the car is yellow, and I think itd look quite nice if the wheels were black. So, two questions:- 1. Anybody have any idea how much itd cost to get the...

You couldve had my 1.4 Expression in black, with alloys and climate control, and colour-coded Dynamique spoiler, for £5,350 or offers! Its 2003 ... but then, Im giving it to a dealer on Tuesday, trading it for a Fiat Punto HGT! I just wanted something with a bit more poke, and nobody was...
