Have you left it where it is or adjusted it to your height? I moved mine up today to be "level with the top of my head" and it looks so stoopid! (Im tall)

Just popped out to my two local dealers to see if they;d supply me with some Elf Excellium 5w40. The first one, on being asked if they could supply ELF oil asked for what car and came back with some ELF Ultimate 5w40. FULLY SYNTH. I then said I needed semi synth and he couldnt understand...

need?!

Im interested in preventing SWIRL marks! Any tips. So far just keep my cloths mega clean! Whats the best way to dry the car? Chamois? Leave it? Towel? Or one of those flexi blade things?

No b*****d seems to be able to say for sure about the whole Tyre scenario... Would appreciate it if you could all post below as follows ______________________________________________ Pack? Rating? e.g. Cup 83V ________________________________________________ If you have any...

Ashamedly, I pretty much dont have a frigging clue. I started off doing it how I was taught and feeding it through. b****cks to that! Then I started crossing arms like a nutter in a old car. Then I got my first 1.2 Clio the power steering was SO light I pretty much drove with one hand ALL...

Thats it basically. Its finally on my drive [just awaiting one person to scratch it to make the ownership experience complete :cry: ] Thanks to all those who helped and advised...

Theres a good chance I can have my car next week. Should I wait or not?

Greenlight have just come back to me with a quote for £1057 for the 182! My best quote had been with privilege at around £1350. Thing is with Privilege I get NCB protection (4years) and a guaranteed courtesy car. What do you think chaps?!

Just cosIm impatient. My 182 was on a trailor delivered to the dealer on Thursday this week. It hasnt "got" a registration yet, which of course I need to get insurance, which of course they need to get it taxed for me! How long does it take for it to be assigned a reg (if thats the correct...

Did my GF car with it today. Was lovely. First we washed it with some sh*tty soapy stuff. Then I used Autoglym Super Resin Polish...then I used Autoglym Paint Renovator where I needed too...then if that didnt work I resorted to T-Cut Metallic (cue cloth turning paintwork colour - not good...

Just got my BEST 182 quote with them, £1339 per year full comp protected NCB. Thats 21 year old male, 4 NCB, 3points. Are they any good? Are they a reliable company (i.e. one of the big names?). Ive just never heard of them!

did loadsa miles today on M4, M11, M25, A406...only saw ONE renaultsport motor, a black 172. its excellent!

please make posts below saying how hard it is to keep looking clean. Please.

Hmmm. Seems to me a lotta people have let impatience get the better of them and gone for non-cupped 182s, or have gone somewhere that cant supply the vehicle with Cup packs. Cant understand it!!! I havent driven a 182 without the packs mind, but even so lol!

Have not given any names as I havent reached a conclusion in this matter yet. On 26.04.04 I ordered (or so I thought) a Clio 182 with both Cup packs in arctic blue, with a Friends and Family discount due to a friend of mine working at a dealership. I got my order forms, he even gave me a...

Heard someone somewhere (not on here) whining that the paint on the door edges was too THIN and came off far too easily if the door edge took a knock (on another car for instance) Any thoughts? I know I ruined my door edges on brick walls.......

f**k OFF posting. Mine hasnt arrived and is still at least 4 weeks away. :sick:

Just spoke to dealer... "All the Clios are coming up highlighted in red which means they have put a stop on them...must be some kind of recall as theyve gone out with something missing or something" 24th July!!!! Bloody hell.

Right, was at gym and saw a right poser of a bloke park up in his Z4. He deliberately parked RIGHT outside the gym windows so EVERYONE could see. I THINK I saw a badge on the wing saying "2.2" so that would be the variant but I have searched the net and its only come up with 2.5 and 3.0 so I...

My little reliable runabout has spotted some oil onto my lovely redbrick drive. How do I get it off?! PLEASE!!!

when I called up to transfer my insurance from my 2 year old 1.2 6v Clio valued at £6000 with tints, 17"s, full stereo system and black lexus lights onto a 1.1 1990 Ford Fiesta LX with 88,000 on the clock valued at £200. They asked me for MORE money as the Fiesta is Group 12 and the Clio Group...

IMPATIENT!!!

Am on the verge of ordering a Zymol starter kit...posted another thread a few weeks back that was VERY handy but which Wax should I look at? Im not into spending SILLY money on the really really expensive stuff, so was thinking cream or carbon, or titanium. MIGHT stretch to Concours but ONLY...

Said goodbye to "Sexy" today. Off she went, to a lad with a surprsingly similar name to mine, me being David Wilkinson and he being David Wilson. Still, off she went for the princely sum of £5250. Depreciation sucks. I MAY even have had a tear in my eye. Now wheres my 182?

Some heated discussions about the fast lane are happening in Driving Tales right now. I dont usually bother to read it as the threads all end up arguing but...in the interests of gauging public opinion.... IMHO if someone is sitting in the fast lane whilst not overtaking, regardless of...

Pierre, Thierry, Fabien, Alain, Andre, Gerard, I beg of you, please dont make me a Friday afternoon car. Yves, dont mess up the electrics, Sebastien dont mess up the clutch, I want my car to be perfect, dont mess up its cost me too much! Phillipe dont forget, the Cup suspension pack, I...
