I passed my test 8 years ago and I did the pass plus... I dont remember how much it cost but I did get a certain percentage off of my insurance.. bout 80 pounds i think.
I would find the car you want then get comparitive insurance quotes with and without pass pluss... then your see if the 120...
You would think that at the end of the day they would allow you to try
The 182
The 225 Megane
And even the V6....
I suppose the purpose of these sessions is to allow serious normal drivers to try out the range and at the end off the day renault make another sale.... if they compare...
Im getting about 30... ive never seen the MPG go above 28.
Ive done 645 miles so far... i drive about 1-2 miles a day in my 182 and loads at the weekends when I drive the tits out of it.
Bad for the engine yes but I will have done sod all miles when I hand in backk in a few years.
Hmmmm trading standards or the such is probably a good place to go also.
I would goto these other garages and ask them for a written quote and a statemet about the current state of hte paint job.
Then goto the original garage and show them this, state that if hte matter is resolve you will...
Hmm im not sure if its actually a switch at all...it does not seem to move convincingly at all.
I just phoned renault and not surprisingly they didnt know what it was either...
My 182 starts first time but is by no means happy about it.... it then takes about 15-20 seconds of the engine being a little bubbly and laggy before it kicks into life and drives as normal.
Just on this topic..
What does the engine sound like on every one elses 182.. when I sit there listening to it i hear a tapit type noise... is this normal.. ive never had a clio let alone a 182 before.
Build quality is obviously not going to be as good as the Golf... but once you drive it a bit your fall in love.
How fast is the Golf and whats it like round corners ... a guy at work has one and he is a cocky sh*t... will I OWN him in my 182 ?
Hi DavidH, perhaps this will answer your questions.
Like yourself I was worried bout the build quality on the car, but I brougt one anyway because we have another car in the house and its under warranty if anything mega happens...
Your find with a 182 (well my 182) that you get small rattles...
In my opinion the silver (no cup option) wheels look better on the blue (what ever you want to call it) 182 while the darker (cup option) wheels looking better on the titanium silver.
I havent seen any other 182 in the other colours
Before I got the car I tested a 182 with and without the cup packs..
There was a noticable diffirence in the ride (nothing huge but still).. I found the car leaned a little more round corners .... the ride was more comfortable without the cup pack when just going down the street.
The CUP...
Just to add my two cents..
When the delivered my car it had a full tank... not sure what they put in it (I am 90% sure it was some crap)...
Anyway after I drained the whole tank by driving like an arse for the weekend I filled up with some BP 97 super and there WAS a noticable diffirence...
Ive had my 182 for 2 weeks now and thought I would post my findings, advice and opinions on this forum for other people who have never had one...
1. Shop around - When looking for my car I played dealers off against each other, I went for a test drive in a Honda Type R and the renault 182... I...
ah i c.... thanks guys..
Good advice...
Also its worth pointing out that it was my girl friend who told me about the beaping thing... so clearly she is mistreating my baby and slapping the doors about !!!!!
Hello every one,
Had my 182 for nearly 5 days now.
Got a couple of questions for those in the know... I am sure I could find these in the manual but im too lazy :)
1. Sometimes when I get out of the car and lock it using the remote key the indicators flash twice and then it locks, other...
I used to walk but then got a car allowance from work..
I went into the renault dealers looking for a 1.2 nice and cheap and was going to pocket what was left over.... then took the 182 out and thought.. what the hell..
Its actually more like 1.1 miles from my work to my ffront door but cause...
Waited ages for mine to... got it the other day ....
Your be well happy once you get it, however I dont know whats worse... the 8 weeks I had to wait or the period I am in now where I am wearing it in and cant belt it.
" what makes me laugh is when people say its lumpy at idle speeds, what do they expect? You want something to go crazy at 4-5k revs or a silent pootle around town car? "
Is this in reference to my post ?
If so.. whats ya point ?
Anyway back to the topic ... Ive had the clio for 3 days...
