    Failed MOT on CO2, LAMBDA is marginal.

    Hi all, As the title says my 182 has failed MOT on CO2 emissions, the LAMBDA reading has not caused it to fail, but is apparently high, the HC level is apparently normal. Background on the car - Engine rebuilt last year, 428 Catcams KTR port matched inlet manifold KTR sportcat (which says...

    New Clio 182 Owner in Coventry/Warks

    Hi Tim, hi JP, trying to get it ready to drive at Donington over the bank holiday but if it's ready in time I might pop up to Blyton too just for a look. Already registered on the trophy forum, been busy harvesting knowledge about brake combo's for track use ;)

    New Clio 182 Owner in Coventry/Warks

    Had to go back and find this original post form 2013, the week I purchased my first 182. Four years later I no longer have the silver one, but I just got my hands on Trophy No:104 - ClioSports still firmly my favourite car to drive, despite the electronics being made out of cheese.

    Dealer caused damage & tried to wriggle out of responsibility!

    In hindsight I would of, but I only bought it to run around in while the engine on my merc was being rebuilt so found one that was in good shape but only a few grand. After driving it for a few months I decided I was going to keep it. Could swap it for one in better condition but I know this one...

    Dealer caused damage & tried to wriggle out of responsibility!

    Replacing lots of worn interior trim; Whole dashboard top, steering wheel, climate control module, radio, gear knob, possibly drivers seat, usual stuff that wears. Want to give the suspension a good going over and find cause for play in front left, believe it to be ball joint, but would like to...

    Dealer caused damage & tried to wriggle out of responsibility!

    I agree it is a mad amount, but I've driven and owned countless sports cars/classic cars/super cars and the Renault 182 is just my favourite car, so I want a perfect one. Even if I spend more than the car's worth I don't mind, I've spent 30k on porsches and not been as happy with them as the...

    Dealer caused damage & tried to wriggle out of responsibility!

    Will have a word and see if he can do one without the centre line. Don't much object to the stitching or materials, but as much as I like the centre line it's a bit too different from stock for my liking. They look absolutely superb though! Actually stumbled across your wheel last night Marc...

    Cheers Don, will check wolves out. Had a look at snappy wheels, want one that looks bang on OEM, couldn't see any snappy's that did. They all looked better quality that Renault's if anything, but I want it to look totally stock.

    I think Debbie should be put in charge of this initiative. She's doing a sterling job as an ambassador for all independent garages in the midlands area!

    Dealer caused damage & tried to wriggle out of responsibility!

    There's a great little indie near me that I trust, only reason I didn't take it there is because he's got his hands full rebuilding my other motor and I needed the leak fixed pretty quickly. I'll check out BTM and other recommended places though. Would love some advice on the best places to get...

    Dealer caused damage & tried to wriggle out of responsibility!

    Hello all! Had my little 182 for about six months now, absolutely love it, so much I decided it's worth putting all the tiny niggles right as I intend to keep it for a long time. Made a massive snag list and took it to Sutton Park Renault in Coventry, just off the A45. Dealt with a great guy...

    New Clio 182 Owner in Coventry/Warks

    Hello all, last week I purchased a Renault Sport Clio 182 and although I've had lots of cars over the years, this is my first venture into small french hatchback territory and it normally pays to be on a forum with lots of knowledgable owners and experts so here I am! The car will be maintained...
