Is that liquad yellow one, the one that's always in Kwik Fit car park on a Saturday morn?

Sorry? - are you referring to the badge that normally sits on the tailgate and reads 'Renaultsport'? I thought only the 172s, V6s and 182s had these badges?

Sorry mate, but that sounds a little wrong to me. I'm with Directline and I too have the cup packs. Did you specifically say that they were extras that were fitted at time of manufacture?

7,500 ish sounds better Its like 60mph=just under 3000 and 80mph=just under 4000

Had a long slow drive to Cambridge the other day - got 40.3MPG at a constant 60-65mph (the distance is about 90 miles). I think the real MPG is higher as my counter was going up 0.1MPG for every 15 miles or so on the drive home. (and yes, it was VERY difficult driving this car in restrained mode).

erm......maybe. :)

Spotted loads around here, but this is the first one I reacted to. Black Clio 182 with cup packs. FN05 *** (cant remember the reg anyway!). Junction 23, Loughborough turnoff. On the slip road, you were in the left lane, I was in the right. I gave you a thumbs up and you returned it, but...

The car looks chunkier because the wheels are eversoslightly wider? Anthracite wheels (the tyres) are 205/45 Arent non-Cup wheels 195/45?

I seem to remember Clarkson saying that its cheap, nasty...but a hell of a lot of fun to drive. He poked a lot of fun at the flappy carboardy parcel shelf and at the seating position, but the be all and end all, its a cute and eager puppy dog car, always wanting to play.

hehe - I went and asked them about that - the bloke I spoke to said that he had a special offer on and the price of those Cups were 9,959 (or something similar - cant remember now). That was about a month ago!

Get a stick (maybe a chopstick or something) and a blob of blu-tack on the end. Then, time to go a-poking!

ok, can someone clarify this for me then. A pre-reg car - so if the car arrives in the country on 1st Aug and the first registered keeper is the dealer but you take delivery of the car in, say, 15th Aug (give them two weeks to prep it and deliver)...then whats happening is that although you...

Ive had a friends sis say to me...is that your car outside?, I replied Yes. She then added Mmmm, sporty That was the only comment Ive ever had about it.

Is that a new feature then with 182s? Clio alarms have NEVER beeped have they? (as in alarms that come with the cars that are bought from Renault dealers). The only time they beep is if you set them off or set them so that the volumetric stuff isnt activated (leaving car windows open, but...

A lot of people seem to get done by Renault (dealers and UK). Anyone thought of getting BBCs Watchdog on the case?
