    next door neighbour

    your own insurance company should pay for the repairs then look to reclaim the costs from the person/insurance company who is at fault. It is up 2 your insurance company to do the chasing around. thats what we pay our premiums for. I wouldnt bother getting quotes just get your insurance...

    Modify or not - Your opinions appreciated

    some light engine work never harmed anyone, wouldnt bother with cams, just get the head flowed and polished, maybe an exhaust, airfilter and a chip. have you considered having the suspension rebuilt? this can make a huge differance as you dont really notice it getting tired. i wouldnt bother...

    speed cameras / petrol

    i thought most petrol cars CR was about 9:1 to 10:1, so the 172/182 has a high compression ratio. Its very hard to map a car to run fine on any fuel, the 172/182 will struggle to run at any decent power on American Regular which is an 87 RON fuel, even the premium in the US is only 91. As for...

    speed cameras / petrol

    Renault recommend 98 for the 172/182, but say that it will run fine on 95. However running on 95 will not put out as much power as 98 as the ECU will r****d the ignition a little bit.

    Bloody Cups!

    have to agree with you, im getting pretty sick of it all. At the end of the day the 172 and the cup are more or less the same car, granted the cup is lighter but there are so many variables i.e fuel load, engine condition, DRIVER, that the performance difference between the two is minimal...

    Clio 182

    Security on the UK supplied 182 has a cat 1 alarm/immobiliser as standard, european supplied only have a cat 2 immobiliser. parking on public roads overnight is all relative to where you live, personally i try to avoid leaving it on the road over night, because i dont want it to get damaged.

    MPG discovery

    how accurate is the trip computer? mine tends to read about 2 mpg over the actual true figure. Also the "gallons used" under reads a little, the other day it said i had used 7.6 gallons and i managed to get 8.2 gallons in when filling up.
