I've had a bonnet and a front bumper in my car at the same time. Bit tight, but doable.

In case anyone has the same symptoms in the future, i'll keep this updated... I bought the GSF coilpack for £29 today. My car seems to run smoother, and the idle is definitely better. I'm not 100% sure my issue has been sorted(as the light has only come on once), but my car is running better...

I'm after a new coilpack and i've seen that ECP and GSF both do a "standard" coilpack and a Bremi branded one. Does anyone know the difference? Is is worth the extra(50% more) for the Bremi one?

On the way home tonight I had the squiggly coil light come on (not flashing) and a loss of power. I pulled into the petrol station, filled up(42 litres so the car wasn't empty) and the light didn't come back on. The car drove normally the rest of my way home. I assume this is ignition related...

I can't help you with your UCH/UGH issue, but i'm also in Papworth. :beers:

It's also worth checking that your caliper slider pins aren't seized/sticking as this will cause poor braking.

Did you check your calipers pins aren't seized like I suggested in the last thread? I had the same symptoms....

I had the "pedal to the floor" on mine. It turned out my caliper slider pins were seized. About 10 mins of squirting wd40 in and hitting with a hammer I managed to free them. I cleaned them up and put grease on the sliders and my brakes were biting at the top for the first time.

DO NOT buy the toyosport one. It's utter crap. I had one.

My old 50k mile 182 used to use around 1litre/1k miles. My current 172 with 100k+ on it uses none. Both run really well.

My 60k 182 cup had much better condition seats and steering wheel. I'd want proper proof that the mileage is genuine as I wouldn't expect that much wear on the advertised mileage.

I've managed to source one, cheers guys.

Ok cheers guys, i'll post on the wanted section here for the part.

I changed my dogbone mount for a poly bush recently. I was looking at pics after I had done it, and realised that my car is missing a part that bolts onto the bottom of the front bush. I've highlighted the missing part here: Does anyone know what the part is called, and what it's for?

Still at £35.51- the discount is applied to your basket.

Do you have a link to it?

I had airbag and Serv light on mine the other day after I had moved the front passenger seat around to carry stuff. Quick fiddle with wire under seat and no issues since. No pics of front, rear and passenger side though. I assume you've viewed it? Struggle to go too wrong for around £1k with...

I see this quite regularly around the Chatteris area. Looks like it could do with a really good clean.

Yep. I was there in mine. Saw lots of nice clios on a great day.

I also have the standard Renault ones. Fit perfectly and look good.

I work in Peterborough so was probably about to head up along Ramsey 40 foot.

That probably would have been me- I live in Chatteris. What car were you in?

I do a 46 mile round trip. Some motorway, some country lanes and i've averaged just under 38mpg since i've had the car. Heck, I got 39mpg with a Kayak on the roof! I don't hang about either. It's a perfect balance of economy and fun for that length of commute in my opinion. For motorway miles...

I have one. It's utterly crap. Not sure where to start. I'll be getting rid asap. It's really really noisy(boomy). I reckon 2-3x louder than standard. It gets louder as the engine warms up. I'd hate to sit in the back of my car. The mounts are in the wrong places. I spent an hour bending them...

My 182 with a 13.5ft Kayak on the roof.

Not able to comment on higher mileage 182's, but I came from a ZS 180 to my Clio, and I get about 6-7mpg more driving the same route and the same style.(31-32mpg ish compared to 38-39mpg on the Clio). I suspect I may drive the Clio quicker as it feels better at speed.

539 in total- of which 168 are inferno and 371 are Racing Blue. See here: http://www.renaultsport.co.uk/roadcars/heritage/182cup/ and click on "Sales Data and Colour Range".

The back end on mine is planted- it just "feels" floaty. My brake pads are made by "delphi". I've never heard of them, and a quick google suggests they are the cheapest pads you can buy. I'll sort them soon enough.

I've never said that they were that bad. I'm just responding to the thread title "things I dislike about my car". Strangely, I have next to no rattles in mine- the thing I thought would annoy me the most!
