Hi,
I am 22 with 4 years NCB insuring a 182 and Ive had quotes of 757 from greenlight and £640 from Directline Thats no points aswell!
Wonder if Greenlight will match prices? hmmm...
Rich :)
Thanx,
I will do the rounds of all the insurance companies and see how I get on! Greenlight does seem a good price though so far. I cant see churchill matching that :P
I see from previous posts the bell could also be worth a try along with Adrian Flux.
Rich :)
Hi All,
Just run a quote through with greenlight, I have to say very impressed last year at 22 I paid 1100 with Churchill this year Greenlight have just quoted me £757 :) Thats impressive! The hunt begins....

Rich
Well just had a quote from Northampton Motorsport £270 to fit!! that includes an £80 alignment charge, Fred did say they were not cheap I would guess you pay for quality?
Still not sure what I am going to do .... Wonder how much axle stands and a torque wrench are lol?
Fred,
Thanks
Sorry to ask a dumb question but regarding setup what needs to be done? Apart from putting the suspension stuff back properly is it jsut a case of getting tracking done or is there something else that needs to be played with?
HI Fred,
I know their labour rates are around £65 a hour I think? I am more worried about getting a good job done than anything else. I know my dad paid about £120 for springs to be fitted a while back at Superior cars
Hi Fred
I am based in Northampton, I was going to give Northampton Motorsport a ring but I am aware that they are not familliar with the clio as a car, they are more into their caternhams.
Fred,
Thank's I guess this is to allow the springs to settle in is it? If you dont mind me asking how much would you normally charge for a job like this?
Why do I have to live in an area where there is no one decent :(
Hi All
I really appreciate everyones advice! As I am sure everyone appreciates I am keen not to allow any spanner monkeys near my car! anyone got any info on this WRC Technologies company? Jamsport seem to know their products quite well, I am guessing people are not so confident on their...
Hi All,
Apparently its 120 for the fitting and then 35 for the tracking to be done is what Iv'e been quoted from JamSport in Northampton. I am not the most skilled person with a spanner! Out of interest what should I expect in terms of ride quality do they stop all the horirble body roll...
I couldnt resist any longer after such good praise from everyone on here Ive finally spent the £140 on some proline springs, all I need to do now is work out whats causing the squeeking from drivers side front everytime I go over a bump!
I seriously cant wiat to get them fitted Ive been quoted...
Ok We all know that clio's are not the best built cars in the world but....
I have two very very annoying dash rattles from the drivers side:
The first one is the air vent to the right of the steering wheel and the second seems to be from the top of the dash near the tweeter and makes kind of a...
Hi Izibizi,
Based on your comments does this mean the pro kit will make the car handle better than the sportline kit? May I ask what effect the greater castor angle will have on the handling of the car?

Rich
Hi Si,
Yes you are able to copy the data from the SD card onto the new one, anyone with a tomtom go 300 needs to do this if they want to add additional voices or the speedy camera detector software

Hi All,
Thanks for the reply's, just a quick question... Iv'e noticed that of late my 05 182 clio doesnt always lock 1st time when I press the plip and sometimes is slow to unlock all the doors when the door is opened (I have the auto lock feature enabled) This is especialy noticeable in cold...
HI All,
Excuse the stupid question please but....
I have noticed that my car sometimes does not unlock in cold weather, I would assume that it is the plip battery thats on its way out. Can I replace this myself or does the key need to be coded back to the car by the dealer or anything daft...
James,
Is it an aftermarket head unit or the origional? If it is aftermarket you will need a stalk adaptor to make your steering wheel controls work, If it is origional then I would guess there is a fault somewhere. Do a search on the forum people have discussed this topic allot.
Hope this...
Hi Peperami,
Yep another Reading person I didnt know there was a meet lol It looked like a standard yellow 182 would love to know who the driver was as she was quite cute from what I could see in my rear view mirror. she knew where her right foot was too!
Rich :)
Just had the pleasure of being infront of a very sexy Yellow 182 in Reading going towards Whitley Wood, being driven by a very pretty female :) Just wondered if if was anyone on here? I did give you a wave I was in the silver 182 infront :rasp:
I wondered why you were keeping up with me very...
Matt,
I would agree Dynamat or a simalar product would be a good choice, if done properly it will also reduce any rattles in the car from trim. I would suggest speaking to a good audio dealer and getting them to fit it. Its a common Mod when doing ICE installs as it improves sound quality as...
HI Diamond Kid,
I can say that there is a huge improvment with components over standard co axial speakers. The sound is alot crisper and better placed. It does depend on the speakers but my MB QUART referance sound very well balanced indeed. I would strongly recommend using an amplifyer to get...
HI Lem,
Ive jsut had my 182 alloy refurbushed by Wicked Wheels and am very impressed with the quality of finnish and colour match cost me £65 per wheel
hope this helps!
Rich :)
Do not rely on the practice questions alone, the real exams questions will be much much harder! Some of their questions are slightly confusing to say the least!
I have to admit I am actually a Unix Solaris engineer and dont paticually like windows :P
Longy,
They are easy provided you have put the work in and accept that you have to do things the Microsoft way and not that way you do things at work!
Just treat it as a learning experience and relax, you will be fine!
Rich :)
Steve,
Halfords to a DIY alloy wheel repair kit for about £30 Iv'e never done it myself as most people like wicked wheels/chips-away will do a good job for around £55 per wheel complete with two year guarantee.
If you are feeling brave give the DIY kit a go, could make for an interesting...
Dom,
Yes it would be possible to push the dents out from the rear, however I would get a company like Dent Devil or chips-away to carry out the work as they are experts at paintless dent removal. Normal costs are around £75 per panel.
You can often get companies to come to your house/work to...
Pablo,
Camedon are expensive in Northants. If you want a Renault dealer speak with Richard Sanders in Kettering they are the cheapest main dealer iv'e found!.
Hope this helps
Rich :)
Hi All.
I am struggling to think of any good reasons not to get hold of a set of Eibach Pro springs for my 182 clio. Anyone know a good place in Northampton to get them fitted?
It looks as if Venom Motorsport are the cheapest at £142 delivered?
Any thoughs?
Rich :)
