Your getting through to the AA because you are using the Renault Assistance phone number who are the AA. The camera is a good idea and all that but who in the right mind (the third party) is gonna sign their name to that? I know I wouldnt if I was in an accident with a reno driver because you...

They just say that due to instabilities in the engine in performance engines, you will experience erratic idle speeds...this is normal operation so they wont do anything apart from reload injection software or update it to the latest version. Try asking them why it sounds like a tractor and see...

If you get a 1.6 with AC/CC then isnt the weight of that going to equal the power of a standard 1.4 16v? I think the 1.4 is just as rare as the 1.6. I see 100s more 172s/182s/and 1.2 16v clios than anything else. The DCI 100 is supposed to have as much torque as the 182 at low RPM but im...

Williams smashed up the prototype. Reno has number 1 but its left hand drive.

doesnt this apply to all new cars or are you just saying that because it is a sporty model that they get ragged about all over the place or taken home with the manager? Anyway, mine had 9 miles on it but I know the saleman took it to the petrol station to fill it up so a couple or so miles...

they gave you £25 back because you live in a better postcode area.

I had this women slam on infront of me in the rain and there was not much I could have done either. Only hit it at 10mph or less but it still put a hole in the bumper, pushed the slam panel back and put a huge dint in my bonnet. Of-course her car only had a small crack on the back valance of her...

Is it newer than 12 months? I was told at the Reno garage that if your car gets written off within 12 months of owning one, Renault give you a new one for free! [Edited by cliopower on 17 September 2004 at 9:14am] (V6 only)

youll have to get a 172/182 because it doesnt have one! The electric ones squeak at you but seem to work fine when the seal/frame is fully replaced. Even if you replace the handle, its only a short term fix and youll find yourself back at square one after 3 months, maybe less...

Its probably a prototype. It does say spy shots after-all, its not as if its been fully released by the press office at Renault. Ill be buying the old shape 182 if it looks anything like that.

This happened to someone I know with an Expression. Unfortuantly you can not get it open unless yours is simple to solve. At the reno garage they had to smash half of the front grill off and release it manually and took 2 hours! Is your release handle slack? Its probably broken away.

Dont hold it close to the car and do not point it directly on the painted plastic areas or your just asking for trouble.

Put sainsburrys super unleadeded. Its BP ultamate anyway but cheaper. Very good quote. Is that with any bumps/claims by either party? If you insure it with direct line, you will not be able to modify it, not even the alloys until you are 25. Try Tesco - its direct line anyway but its strange how...

You can get an import new for 11.5k from the car people but you will not be able to have the cup pack from new.

They are prototypes still though. If you look closely all the cars are not the same. Lets hope renault dont c**k it up. Its supposed to be launched this january so we will know soon!

Didnt someone actually buy a new V6 for 21,000 off reg vardy brand new anyway?

185/55 R15 I think without looking

I cant even find elf oil for mine. Who sells it exactly apart from the odd reno dealer?

Dealer trade in is £4150 actually, according to the guide but i know someone who traded his expression in for 4,500 and that was 2 1/2 years old. £5000 is what they sell it for. 6k looks good for the right person.

Dealer trade in is £5000 due to milage - standard (average is 10,000 per year) It would be worth 5130 at 20k. Your mods do not really make a difference to dealer prices so your lokking at £5,500. Private has been rated at £4,500 standard but because of your mods this is different. I would say...

Well my two front contis have only managed 8,500 miles and they are almost bald. What a con these tyres are and its not as if I wheel spinned the things all the time. Any recommendations for some mid ranged tyres? Bloody clutch is faulty too.

I see about 2 a day but there are a few renault dealers that are close together.

A grand for a 172! ive seen people with 4 or 5 years no claims paying more. I am tempted to go 2L next.

clios dont seem to brake down from my experience but so have little annoying rattles and squeeks, but nothing to really worry about.

no of course not. Is why I said if I knew a copper to find out who it was so I can introduce a bat to his face. Im very surprised they didnt let the tyres down while they were at it.

couldnt you swop the wheels back to the originals when you send it in for servicing?

It always happens to a new car. Mine was only 2 days old and some sill sl*g reversed her merc into the side of it. Totally wasnt looking where she was going - reversing while looking forward really makes sense. This was in the dealer car park as well while I was arguing over the paint job cos I...

probably too busy catching speeders. I doubt them would do anything part from laugh while eating donuts.

Theres part of a finger print on the drivers front wheel too in the brake dust. Shame I dont know anyone in pig force what can trace the little sh*ts.

Some tw*ts nicked my alloy dust caps off my car! They were supposed to be locking ones but they still got them off. Its stratched the valve a bit. God, you cant have anything these days. I suppose I shouldnt let the f**kers get one over me and get down to Halfords for some more. Some people just...
