Guys, guys, cool down, would you please, With Renault our hopes are always (too) high. Remember Clio II and other their models. It will be the same with Modus. Dont be fooled with this marketing trickeries. 5stars NCAP? OK, but there are also other things which make a certain model successful...

Martin172, Thank you for your 2 posts. They are also spot on. Dammit, they messed up completely. On one hand they still seriously struggle in getting the standard car twitched up - 182 is still shouting for improvements - job done only halfway!!!!! On the other hand they have commercialized...

I was trying so hard not to spit this out but I simply must. I believe Renault have COMPLETELY missed the point with this "ad hoc" cupped variant of RS 182. Call it TEAM, UK Cup, bla, bla. Instead of preparing a real DRIVERS CAR, they will continue with few (not so cheaper) sub-wariants...

Guys, guys, you must be teasing me. You have been communicating with the man who went thru all the worst things that can happen to a loyal customer. For example I was one of the customers whose claim regarding the FAMOUS middle part of the RS Mk I exhaust was denied. Which was damn wrong...

James, admob, funky, I believe you know what I have on my mind. But you will not say it aloud. And I also know why. But its OK. There is a big wall against us, faithfull customers. The moment you drive off the dealers parking this wall rises. Name it Service Clientele or whatever you like...

No proper answer till now. "Vice caches" was always a taboo theme. And it still is. As I did not find any suitable Briton page dealing with hidden faults I include a French one: http://www.321-auto-annonces.com/ma_voiture/achat/vices_caches.asp There are some good definitions and...

James, CocoPops, Jason C, What I would like to point out is the whole issue of "hidden faults" of all kinds. These include: 1. Faults that cannot be seen at first glance or are located on some "convenient spots" (like underneath licence plates - this is a good one). 2. Faults that a...

Good evening admob, Thank you for joinin the thread. I am not quite sure but ... you might have missed the point. Therefore I will give another example: Customer picks up a new car and finds a hole in the bottom of the side mirror. It is not visible, except when looking underneath. He/She...

Good day to you all, I have some little Qs. Could anyone possibly explain the following: Situation You have just received a factory brand new 182 and there are some deformations visible on the body of the car. For example, one is placed where you screw on your licence plate. Questions...

Thank you for your views mateys. One extra Q: Can fuel quality also contribute to this behaviour?

Okay, mateys, So to sum up: 1 Turn the key to the contact position 2 Wait for lights to go off 3 Turn the key all the way Its similar to waking my 20-month old daughter. She needs some time to get awake, but when she does, then everything goes rocket way including diapers, njammy...

Hi RSportlers, Tell me, do all 182 hesitate on the first key turn ? Has this anything to do with the bedding the engine in? Or maybe the fuel quality is to be blamed? And a little Q about the typre pressure? Is 2.3 front and 2.1 back OK (in bar)? Thank you.

iceblue182, Hi, You said you got 2 with you? Would you please send one to me? Either in scanned form or in paper. I would cover all the expenses. VaVaVoom 182 ?

Dear Lee, To be frank, I think you are right. Speaking globally. But Lee, the issue I would like to speak out its not actually about the bumper or the splitter. The core problem lies somewhere else. And you probably know who or what I am thinking about. Bottom line: We must not allow...

Good morning Coco, Thanks again for your assistance. As far these niggles are concerned, bumper shouldnt have been deformed and it will be replaced. If not for other reason, then for later times when the car goes for sale. So that nobody would blame me for bonging it. Regarding the...

Coco, They are on the way to you. Thanks matey. VaVaVoom 182 ?

Hey big hp, Tell me about it. I would like to upload some pics. Thanks. VaVaVoom 182 ? (with backseat mounted splitter)

Its VaVaVoom again, Ive removed the post as pictures werent loaded properly. They were seen well on my PC as too big. Give advice on the pics upload please. Thanks.

Dear 182 owners, Please answer the following question: Does your Owners manual cover: 1. Technicalities of your 182 incl. recommended tyre pressure values 2. Instructions on how to use a tyre foam 3. Instructions on which motor oil to use in your 182 4. Other info specifically...

I got me those photos developed and they are just fine. I will prepare some electronic versions. And now I am off to prepare a complaint/reclamation. Which means "push&pull games" with R Clientele Service (Customer Service). Aint nuthin but a low-down dirty shame, dont you agree?

Hi to all of you reading this forum, Well, as you may have found in my previous topic I picked my VaVa but it couldnt go without NIGGLES. Splitter partly damaged and not fitted on, plus bumper deformation. But, hey guys there was a little positive surprise. The car came with so-called...

Dear forum readers, If you knew some other "real-life" R stories, you would be shocked. However, these cars are mostly bought on the basis of enthusiasm and fanatic approach. Thats why we (although we are well informed and aware), spending considerable quids on these half-baked muffins.

Good morning to you all reading this forum. Well, on Sunday I was nervous as a hell because of me picking a new 182. Now, you would not believe it but I intend to complain regarding 2 things: 1. Bent licence plate platform part on front bumper. Not to mention the metallic paint layers put...

Cheers fellas, Almost midnight and I am getting to my bed. But there is some nervosity in me. Tomorrow afternoon I am picking up my VaVaVoom at the dealers. When I was picking my MkI car I was cheerful, optimistic and anxious while now I am just dead scared. I have read too many negative...

Hi RS182, Glad to see you started this issue. Wheels rubbing on Cliosport is an old issue. I can remember myself driving from the garage, say 2 yrs ago with my ex-RS Mk I and brand new Semperit rubber (having the proper dimensions for RS Mk I) and whenever the car position was inclined to...

Good evening Renaultsportlers, Well, reading all of your feedback, I must admit there is a little truth in all of your posts. But choice of rubber is a very personal thing. I tested some optional rubber on my Rsport MkOne and I can tell you I was mighty impressed with one particular brand...

Come on, Tomclio 182 Dont you worry. I visit this forum at least twice, maybe three times a day. As an "intermezzo time" during my work. I cannot help myself - your forum is just GREAT. In fact - on some occasions iit is even approaching the NON PLUS ULTRA mark. As for the Mich Exaltos...

Hi to all of you reading and participating this forum, While reading your posts I came to an idea of swapping the Exaltos for something else on the market. The very first day you pick your car from the dealer. Maybe with something from the Goodyear or Pirelli rack. Or from some other...
