Had mine since 20th March and have had no problems at all in it. Done over 200 miles and I really like the car. I have never owned any Reno before but I am well chuffed with mine. Have driven but not owned a 172 and a Cup, but not far enough to give you a decent comparison. Cup felt very raw...

15.1sec NA 2litre 16V Mk2 Golf Havent tried the 182 Yet

Elf Excellium LDX 5W40 has Renault listed in the specs Application : Very high performance engine oil based upon Elf Synthetic Technology, recommended for all petrol and diesel engines. Specially designed for maximum protection with extended oil-change intervals...

Lower on the passenger side Dave? Due to too much pedal on Roundabouts. Solved by going round the wrong way just as fast late at night. ;)

I have not heard a clunk of any description from my car, should I be worried that the ABS is not clunking properly?? ;) I should stop saying this as I am tempting fate but my 182 is flawless to date (2k miles), no clunks, rattles, bangs or any unusual or annoying noises whatsoever.

Someone drove a forklift into my golf while a mate of mine sat in the car. He could see what was going to happen but did not shout in case he made a prick of himself. Bekieve it or not he is a big lad and not scared of anybody or anything apart from making a prick of himself obviously.

Not had any problems at all with mine to date, had it a month done 1800 miles. It is pretty heavy on petrol round town and super is quite a bit more expensive but the car is great, dont regret buying it at all and Ive never had a Reno before. And extreme, if you have not had any major issues...

Ask for John, tell him Martin told you to ring, and tell him your a member of Cliosport and he will try to get you extra discount for being a member of a car club.

Are based in Swansea, but place your policy with reputable companies. I have claimed when I had a small skirmish with a V6 Calibra on the M4 going back about 6 years. No problems at all. Still run by the same people. The staff generally know what they are talking about moreso re VWs, but they...

Try Brentacre 01792 605933, may struggle being 19, but I have used them for 10 years on a modded Golf and gave best price for my 182. Restrictions based on bhp not cosmetics, wheels, kits etc. eg policies are basically do what you like but dontt exceed 200bhp (insert own power limit)

I have had mine 4 weeks, first one supplied by dealer in Swansea and not seen another yet. My mate has seen another racing blue one in Cardiff.

I have done 1600 miles with no problems, squeaks or rattles. (holding onto wooden desk as I type). Would definately recommend one based on my experience to date. I also know someone who has a 80k merc Dave, I think it is called an SL500, big S class coupe and it is terrible, interior door...

Thanks for that, will be useful for my mates daughter. Only 17. I thought I hadnt noticed my doors locking themselves, do they reopen in the even of an accident? Edit, I too am impressed with the site. Nice one. Very handy having a Renault spokesperson on line as well.:)

That was a fast response, missed my edit?? Also can you clarify for me what RAID is, I have it on my car, and a friend of mine who has just bought a new Dynamique for his daughter (following a ride in my 182) has it as well but apparently does not come with an alarm??

Jeremy, I am not saying you are wrong, but this site states the following: A Cup chassis option is introduced offering a wider track front and rear, a stiffer sidewall on the tyres, a lower ride height, stiffer springs and dampers and new steering geometry. With this option the wheels have a...

Me too, had to guess tho.

Try Brentacre 01892 650933 ask for John, Im 34 but with no NCB due to having given back a company car which I had to make 2 claims on due to a break in and a minor hit and run (buy someone else) £800 fully comp on 182 Very good for modified cars as well

Had two occasions where bird crap has f**ked my paint up. Ate throught the paint on the boot of the wifes silver A4 a couple of years ago. But recently had a Freelander company car which went back in March. Prior to giving it back, I had to have the whole bonnet resprayed and Land Rover graphic...

No probs so far 1380 miles Ive heard that if you lock them in a garage for 36 months, youll get no problems during the warranty period. :) Is this TRUE??

Big pain in the arse, but best find faults while its under warranty, be really sh*t if it was three years old. Just hope they sort it for you. Would expect more from a new car tho, thankfully mines ok so far @1350miles. First Reno for me so I dont know what generally goes wrong, but this forum...

Glad you got it sorted Dai. Funny enough, I had my mate and another salesman out to my car last week as I could not find the tire foam, they both reckoned I should have a spare wheel and they actually took the boot carpet out before they believed me.

Stromba, I dont think that spinning up out of corners is a problem, it is actually very satisying controlling the spin and slides which occur, my point was, that is why the Cup feels more exciting and hence faster. Edit - And I have never had the pleasure of driving a Williams which I am...

Usually is contentiuous when these discussions arise, I really liked the cup and genuinely found it more exciting to drive. I commute 90 miles a day and wanted the creature comforts, both are really great but different cars and the 182 suits my needs better.

Did 130 on a special private road on Sunday. Very impressed with the acceleration between 100 to 130. Also was very surprised to see 100 on another stretch of road around a fair curve (deserted and good visibility for a long distance). Did not feel like 100 at all, very composed. Hence my theory...

Smallish etched look, silver/grey

Not wanting to sound stupid, but what does it do on cruise control models? Cant kick down a gear like an auto??

Also check Aerosols are present, should have two either in Glove box or under passenger seat as there is no spare wheel. Dealer which supplied mine was quite amusing as I could not find the earosols, but they reckoned it should have a spare wheel to the extent where they came and took out the...

Mine has got a little click right at the end of the travel, not really worried about it, must be the boost switch. ;)
