Yeah it had all its belts done when they should have been. All the work that should be done, like 36k belts etc has been done. Renault didnt say anythign was up when it was serviced, so im wonderign what the hell it is. It sounds terrible to be honest, and the dash wanring lights, 'Stop'...

Its an 04 plate, just ticked onto 54000 that day. Was only in Renault to be serviced just under a month ago aswell!

I was driving along yesterday doing around 40mph when all of a sudden I had the Blackpool illuminations of warning lights show on the dash and then the car died, taking the brakes and steering with it and leaving me at the side of the road. This isn’t the first time the car has broke, but...

I think this is what i have settled on, seems the best cost/performance option without spending mega money

Yeah ive seen the pictures of yours with its new springs on your thread, looks really good, did it settle a lot lower than that?

I currently have a 182 FF that is completely standard, so ive decided that its time for new bits seems as though ive never changed anything. Im currently thinking: ITG panel filter, K-Tec decat pipe to fit the standard exhaust, Uprated pads all round and either Apex 40mm or Eibach 30mm...

Yeah i was there, was the 225 Cup the orange one?, looked pretty quick. I was in the silver 182, wasnt actually gonna go down untill i got there and thought why not!, car wasn't set up at all but did a 15.4 so was pretty happy, friends 106 gti ran a 15.1 though and i dont think ill ever live it...

Saw this black 182 in Carlin How on Front street, black with white stripes i think, was dark so couldnt be sure, looked very smart.

I was told the car had a new coil pack fitted when it was in for a month, and the spark plugs on the car are only 6 weeks old at most. Running the car on v-power helped, but then last week it just started doing the same again, beyond lumpy, the hwole car shakes when its stationary.

I was told the same by the garage, they said theyd sort the timing and check everything else it could be, and it still was lumpy!. Hopeless lol

I know what your saying, but id been told to expect the gearbox to be nothign like the fiesta had been, i assumed it was just liek that. And i wouldnt know a broken shocker from a working one, i know nothing about mechanics at all, which is why i got friends to have a look at the car.

Ive owned the car 8 weeks, but it has literally been in the garage for 6 weeks, 4 of those weeks in one staright go. I drove the car for 5 mins before i bought it as it had no petrol in whatsoever so couldnt go far, it didnt break when i drove it tho, plus i know nothing about mechanics, as...

The warranty covers everything except usual wear and tear like pads and bulbs. I just think that the fact theyve had it longer than i have is appaling

Ive got all the paperwork they gave me, finance sheets and such, all i want is for them to take the car back and give me my money back :dapprove:

About 10 weeks ago i bought a 182FF from an evans halshaw garage after deciding it was the perfect car for me after i sold my old fiesta zetec s. I picked te car up and the same day had it looked at by a friend who is a mechanic and he told me take the car back and have some things done under...

I was coming from guisborough towards redcar. Saw you in a line of cars going onto wilton roundabout. Havnt seen your car round before.

Heading towards wilton roundabout about 2:00. Anyone?

Didnt realise id start such a debate haha!

So are we saying a clio would be an equal opponent in the real world lol? Theres a vx220 turbo that appears sometimes near where i live, good god its quick!

Isnt a vx220 just a lotus elise underneith tho?, would that not make it handle well lol?

If i were to take my standard 182ff on a track against a non turbo standard vx220 whod come out on top?. I know the turbos are balistic but i dont know anythign about the non turbos?
