    The 197: Have you grown up/old?

    Actually it's a girl’s car!:rasp: Well off old men who want to flash the cash certainly don’t do it with a Clio, they are hardly status symbols!! Or maybe it’s your own insecurities, that you can’t do it as well as an experienced man, that are really bothering you?! ;)

    Urgent!!! how do u disconnect the alarm on a cup!?

    Mine did this last weekend; I had to call Renault assistance out the next day to sort the battery out.

    Do You Ph1, and 1*2 Cup owners think FF owners are soft?

    No, No, No, No, No!!! Between us, me and my sis have had a mk1 172, a mk2 172 (2 of them!), a 172 cup and my current 182. All great cars, if I came across a mk1 172 in yellow, I'd seriously consider buying it.:cool:

    The time has come

    Roof rack yes (I’ve seen one with surf boards on the roof!), niggles yes…but you soon forget them when you drive it! Clarkson is paid to find pro’s and con’s and I think he gave a fair report on the 182, however I find the interior to be better than he gave it credit for, I think it’s a very...

    The time has come

    1) Nothing has fallen off mine so far, you do get the odd rattle and vibration though. 2) About 32mpg a lot more if you do motorway driving. 3) Mines never broken down, although I’ve had a few niggles with shocks and warning lights (ended up needing a sensor replacing). More here...

    seat wear on cup

    With that mileage the interior should be like new. Maybe they have been swapped?

    Trip Computer

    And to think people used to be able to just fill up by using judgement alone…..and without any help from computers telling them exactly when!! :S ;)

    182 prices - the 197 effect...

    The price will drop no matter what it's a Renault!! However the 172 & 182 were directly comparable so the release of the 182 had a bigger effect. But as some people have said the 197 is a different car altogether, it has moved up a size, and if I was looking to replace the 182 it wouldn’t be...

    Spider in wingmirror....

    I have a spider in my wing mirror, it’s an adrenaline junkie and likes to come out when I drive!!

    Mod 172 or Move To 182 - You'd Do ?

    I got rid of my 172 with mods (performance and handling, not cosmetic) for a 182 with cup packs….I wish I’d kept the 172, and to get them to do anything under warranty is like swimming through glue (I would imagine!), so that’s not really a good selling point!! But if it’s just he looks and...

    182 - 2 weeks old and already damaged!!

    Is there a notice board where she can put a big poster up asking if anyone saw it? At best some one will say yes, at worst the person who did it will feel guilty.

    Had a new Headlight washer fitted...

    If your car is under 1 year old then it's warranty. I had mine replaced on my 172, it cost about £40 and took them 20mins (I waited). The same one broke again after a few months and they replaced it again free of charge.

    Auxillery Woes...

    Welcome to RS ownership ;) I believe that Renault have their own tools specifically for the job.

    That's what they did today, hope that's the end of it!
