Welcome to cliosport, post up loadsa pics of your 182 when you get it.. time for another newbie poke.. http://erc.qmuc.ac.uk/poke.gif

Could be a dodgy switch under the handbrake, might just come on when cornering etc..

Lots of discussion on this.. and at the end of the day Renault recommends 98RON, and that what I put in.

Er, ye.. its a Renaultsport 172 Cup Ive highlighted it a bit just incased you missed it. :D Niel, youve pretty much hit the nail on the head, dont matter if you got the best brakes in the world if you got sh*t tyres fitted. Best thing you can do to improve stopping...

The cup is a 172.. Oh and you WILL take longer to stop in a Cup, especially in the wet, there is no-one on here that can just the exact braking pressure that should be applied by taking into account the level of grip and the surface conditions on the road, you would either be braking to...

This has been discussed to death before, at the end of the day if someone pulls out infront of me and I got seconds to react and steer round the obstical I know which car I would rather be in. Having said that if I was driving on tracks, round race circuts I would prefer to go without ABS...

I prefer the 172 ones also, the 182 ones are too messy looking (if you know what I mean). Prefer the 182 wheels + zort(s) though.

Quote: Originally posted by Lee M on 19 February 2004 Dont bother getting Renault to do it, just buy yourself a new one. They cost about £7 and pop the ball out, and pop it into the existing one. I did it a couple of months ago and its still there. Id rather do that than risk Renault taking...

Ah so you want a monitor not a TV (common mistake ;)). There are quite a few worthwhile screens on ebay.. check em out..

But remember if its an actual TV your wanting you will need one with a tuner, or an external tuning module.

remove the bulb lol !

Just remove the old steering wheel completly not just the airbag.. The most important thing to do is disconnect the battery and leave it for a few hours for the airbags to discharge (so it doesnt blow up in your face as your working on it, could kill you really)

hmm its about 16-17KG, but thats with tyres..

No !

faulty caliper ? overtightend handbrake ? driving with the handbrake on like a big woman ? ;)

be nice to get some close up pictures in strong sunlight..

Hmm, scottish people must be more tolerant, ive only been flashed once to which I ofcourse returned the favour.. muhahaha

Err, N20 isnt flamable is it ?

Bit of deletion, bit of editing and everything is back to norm.. please stay on topic now :) ;)

How much extra do you think they are charging you for just an exhaust.. its crazy really !

Hmm, a Cup coloured car with all the toys and nice alloys.. well im off to trade in my 172.. bye.. :D

Not seen a supercharged 172 but the turbod one looks nuts..
