In reverse, I had to take my hazard panel out to get my stereo in, it helped me position all the damn pre-outs!

I know my tiny journeys are eating my MPG, I took it out on a good 50 mile run today and its back to 30 on average on the tank, I always run on Super. Need to check my tyre pressures too.

Im doing 1.5 mile journeys, twice a day, and having it running before i get in it to defrost it, twice a day, and i've gone from 31 to 19.5mpg. gutted.

Pound Notes.

Shouldnt get written off, but could depend on how big the dints are in the roof. Any pictures of the damage ? I just cant understand the mentalitly of people that damage peoples cars, jealousey or whatever, but they'd have been freezing their nads off doing the damage last night!

You using the air con when your old mans driving it ? If so after turning off the air con, i find mine steams up alot quicker, another quick blast of the air con will soon sort it.

The ST220 will weigh about 2 tonne though surely, the Clio is a drivers car and needs to be driven to get the best out of it. Yes it rattles, its French!

2 min job to replace. Part is £22 from Renault.

The most annoying thing is the computer on the miles to go thing says ----. When you really need to know it doesnt tell you! Who cares when you have 450 miles left when you fill!

LOL Cheers, searched and found your fix.... Brake pedal sensor. Behind the pedal theres a wiring plug and switch, take em off and clean the connections. Unhook the battery for a bit, put it all back together and it should be right. If not, you'll need a new switch. Othewise it seems its a...

Anyone else? Also it hasnt done it since, but i've not done any spiritied driving since. I dont suspect my brakes as I had my discs/pads and lines replaced only last month.

Firstly a bit of history, for the last 4 weeks my car has only ever been doing very short journeys, all less than a couple of miles and not very often at that. Yesterday, i let it warm up fully and then went for a bit of a spirited drive. First thing i noticed was the great amount of...

Its not a bad deal, buts its a bit of a buyers market at the min with the old credit crunch so deals are there for the taking! As a comparison I got a 54 Plate 182 with Both Cup Packs on 20k for £6900 back in August, pre credit crunch

Birchdown are far cheaper than ABP. I recently had my 24k service and brakes supplied and fitted by Birchdown and they were easily £80 or so cheaper than ABP in Shavington, ABP are ok for parts, but they sting you on the labour.

Ba Da Ba Ba Bah "I'm Lovin' it"

Was it one of the 3 foot long acid yellow ones from back in the day ?

I've owned both a 172 and a 182 FF. The 182 FF is IMO a much better drive.

I think the full range is 19 to 123mph. Best way to "test" this theory is sit in 5th at like 40mph and just hold the + button down till it stops rising, thats what i did, i wouldnt like to rely on CC at 123mph!

The 172 fuel computer is near on useless, work it out at the pump and its easily 4-5mpg off each time. However, the 182 is much better, mine is normally spot on or very very close, and at present am averaging 31mpg, reguallarly.

MAXI Button FTW, then lower gradually as your getting warm and settle at 21/22. These winter mornings/nights are where it comes into its own!

26 - 182 "FF"

Full Units are available from Matt Black, around £175 per side, which is cheap compared to Renault Prices!

My 182 seems well built, where as EVERYTHING inside my 172 rattled!

My first 172 had it, noisy on idle, almost like a diesel. Rev it slightly and it goes away, if so its your dephaser pulley. Not sure how expensive they are as the car was new to me, so I chose the refund option!

Go for Brembo HC Discs and either EBC Green Stuff or Ferrodo DS2500 Pads, plus braided lines and some good fluid if you can stretch, wont cost you too much more and a nice improvement over standard.

I like overall, but the wheels arent to my liking. You've not shown the rear lights but if you havent already get some silvervisions in there also. As said above, colour coded mirrors would be next for me. Any future plans for it ?

I have to admit i preferred the first ones!

There are two cup packs. Suspension Pack - is lower and stiffer than standard and some different hub spacing, and the anthracite wheels too. Spoiler Pack - Bigger Rear Spoiler and front splitter. Both make considerable differences and worth holding out for. I've had my 54 Plate 182 for 3...

Didnt know about the legality in regards to making up, certainly a local market stall to me, will make up anything you want, without documents! :quiet::nono:. 3/4 Plates do look well though, but the correct width one looks like the way forward.

It does sound like a good deal, in todays credit crunching climate it is certainly a buyers market. Does it have the cup packs ? Asuuming FSH. Cambelt Service wise, main stealers will be looking at around £850-900 but a good specialist independant around £550. Good Luck with the new car :) Any...
