    Advice needed on smash

    firstly i would go to a garage and find out how much it will cost to repair. if it is a lot give your insurance company a ring, normally they will give you a choice of using one of thier approved repairers or supplying your own. if you go for the latter they might ask for 3 quotes if it is...

    Advice needed on smash

    if there is a crease in the boot floor pan, then it is quite a big job as this will need to be replaced, it shouldnt be banged out as the metal has now been weakened. if the fuel tank has been damaged then some of the pipework could also have been hit so i wouldnt drive it as this could...

    182 = Old Megane Engine

    insurance on a 182...

    a lot insurance companies base their premiums on how many claims a certain model of car has had in the past, people were reporting that the 182 is cheaper to insure than a 172, only because the 172 has been around a lot longer than the 182 so more claims have been made for 172s. the insurance...

    Just had a run against a 182

    wasnt the 182 a marketing ploy because peugeot had launched the gti 180?, at the end of the day 10hp is going to make bugger all difference. the main reason why the figures differ is down to driver ability and the current conditions. run your car on a hot day and the performance will suffer...

    Engine blown on rolling road

    these waivers are not worth the paper they are written on, the car is in thier possesion and they are responsible for it. if something breaks or is damaged through their negligence then they are at fault. would you sign a waiver when you take your car to renault for a service?

    10k for my 182

    sounds bout right, remember VAT is not paid on secondhand cars so 13k-17.5% is about £10700, the dealer is not going to make much money on it with imports selling for around £12.5k

    white reg plates on rear

    the law says that the only white light source on the rear of a car can be the reversing light, as the number plates are reflective they are classed as a light source and so having a white number plate on the rear of a car is illegal
