I have cancelled insurance with the AA and Admiral. They both calculated the cost of cover per day (total cost / 365) and refunded me back the number of whole days left on my premium. The AA charged me £20 and Admiral charged £45. Even better, the AA refunded their broker fee because they...

And as if by magic, when i started the car last night to drive home from work, the light had disappeared! Spooky.

I just used halfrauds black engine paint to do mine, cheap and hard wearing.

Hmm, I havent changed the fuel or the place i get it from! Dodgy batch maybe? I thought it may have been having a fit because i havent drivin/moved it for over a week?!:S

Yer, i try parking in the corner, but as previously posted, even if i park in a deserted car park, by the time i return there will be sh*ters galore parked next to me! And that nice car trick has never worked for me either, they are just as careless. Oh, and keying someones car....:mad:

Having come from a Lexus LS400 (£90 for new bonnet lifters sir, thank you very much) I was expecting to have a few extra ££s left in the kitty each month due to reduced running/maintenance costs. As it is, its prob costing me more at the mo. The BS i can put up with (and occasionally enjoy)...

Well according to the ever helpful owners manual... 'Exhaust gas monitor warning light: If it lights up continuously, contact your Renault Dealer as soon as possible. If it flashes, reduce the engine speed until the light stops flashing. Consult your Renault Dealer as soon as possible'...

Not sure mate, my car is 100% standard...:cool:

Nice one for that Jacko, i havent driven my 182 for about a week now and when i started it this morning it sounded a lot rougher then normal and the exhaust gas warning light stayed on. So, scared by the light, i bottled it, turned the car off and ran towards my computer to search CS for...

Saw you last night on the way home from work. Spotted the CS sticker in the back window. Was in the gf's black mk3 otherwise i would have given you a wave! :cool: Car looked nice btw.:o

I was about to say that adjusting does absolutely nothing to slow/speed mine up! Thanks Fantom - i will try turning them off then on again after adjusting! :cool:

Same for me, o/s front ball joint replaced under warranty last week = no more creaking! :cool:

Ive resorted to a few mins of fast idle before i drive anywhere in the morning, otherwise i get some right funny looks from the neighbours when i kangaroo up the road! lol.

Cheers mark. Any chance of a quick talk through what i need to do adjust the switch? :cool:

Awesome. Just awesome.

Anthracite, and no tints!

Gutted for you mate, but as above how did you manage that?

Looks awesome rich!! My first car was a white mk3 astra, colour coded handles, boot lid, no bumpstrips and super back-to-black buffed bumpers. Loves a bit of whiteness does Owen...

Sorry to dig up an old thread...... I have done two long trips recently, great time to use the cruise i thought! But, on the way during the trips i try to 'arm' the cruise by flicking the switch up on the dash - which usually illuminates a green light on the dials and then i use the steering...

If i'd have known how much hassle it was changing plates between cars, i never would have bothered with my private plate!! I was in a slightly diff situation, bought my 182 and still had my old car with p/plate on. Went to DVLA local office who robbed me of £80 transfer fee and demanded to...

Well thats the thing, i always keep the resevoir topped up to the brim anyaway. The guy i bought the car from 6 weeks ago mentioned that the washer leaked, but i have never noticed it leaking until i mentioned it to the garage and now its come back with a constant trickle running down the front...

Mine does the same, 1st time it fires up then dies almost instantly. Then when i try again literally seconds later it starts straight away! Odd. Back on the 'i took it to renault and it came back broke' topic ...... mine had its 24k service yesterday and as well as not fixing a number of the...

Well i have just booked mine in for 24k service £225.22 inc air con re-gas, which i think is quite reasonable (having said that my previous car was a lexus ls400...£180 for new bonnet lifters!)

I noticed that at almost exactly 85mph i get a really loud squeal coming from the passenger side. I thought it was coming from the wing mirror though??!

Just swopped insurance to Greenlight (KGM through Lloyds)....over £500 cheaper then my previous premium.:cool:

When i bought mine, i did a bank transfer. Easy to do, and cleared funds in their accounts. My bank told me that bankers drafts are NOT guaranteed funds, which i always thought there were. Transfer has to be the safest as its in your account, cash might be counterfeit (although thats prob...

Wanted an e36 m3, but couldnt justify the £2k insurance..... read the knowledge section in evo, saw they'd given the 182 5 stars and went out and bought one!:cool:

Been filling up with Sainsbury's SUL (im also a nectar points wh*re!:approve: ) and occasionally 95ron when i cant get SUL and honestly havent really noticed any difference in MPG or a smoother/rougher idle and running.

Cheers mate, will give them a go, was meaning to check them on the wkend anyway! Incidently (and totally off topic) last night for the first time i revved the 182 past 5k revs.... theres one hell of a kick isnt there!!!! Was grinning from ear to ear for the rest of the night! Lol. :cool:

When we stripped my mates EG civic Esi, the back end started to snap out during cornering. He even managed to spin it a couple of times! :S Was so noisy with stripped out back (especially when it rained!) so i dont think i'll be stripping the 182 anytime soon. Regards the tyre pressures...
