Double 182 Spot at Total Fitness in Crewe.
Silver 182, there when I arrived about 2:45. Non cupped pack.
Black 182, there when I left at about 4:15, again non cupped pack.
No ClioSport stickers. :eek:
Looks like it has the cup spoiler. Grill should be black, as should the fog light surrounds i think. Instrument Panel is Orange light on black/grey background, standard, but that has blue climate control read out, there is a post on here about how to convert it, so the dash may have also been done.
Just watched that video, horrendous quality! hard to make out where it was exactly, but my mate (who's car it was) is a hell of a driver too. We used to go out and race anything and pretty much anything that looked like it wanted a go tbh!
My mate put a VR6 lump into a MK2 and it was awesome, went like fcuk.
Sold that one, bought another (that had been pre-done) a MK2 with a tuned 1.8T Engine, needless to say that was rapid!
If it only does it on tick over, when warm, its your dephaser pulley.
At 900rpm or so it'll do it, but when you rev it up to say 1500rpm or so, it stops ?
Then its deffinatley your dephaser. Quite common unfortunatley.
Driving style shouldnt affect it, its all to do with valve timing.
Got...
You can buy the pedal sensor from Renault for £12 or £13, its a 2 min job to change. Dont let Renault do it or they'll charge you labour. Theres a "how to" in the guides section.
I had this on my 172, but sold it before I fixed it, battery tray engine mount was mine incling, is there much flex of your engine on the mounts still since you've checked them?
Im no expert, but this is what the digital readout tells me....
This is for the front toe, Mine was 0.25 degrees total and its now -0.11 degrees.... ( i presume its in degree's) Left and right now set at -0.06 each. According to this the front toe should be between -0.17 and +0.07
And the...
Semi Update (sorry for thread hi-jack).
I took mine down to Birchdown today as was concerned it could be my CV boots, turns out everything is absolutley fine on the car, recommended I get tracking checked. Took it down to Demon Tweeks to get a full tracking check (£40) and turns out the front...
Spotted a Black 197 at Demon Tweeks at Wrexham.
And on the way home, 172 Cup, DE52 XXX behind me from Holt Lodge Hotel to the Birkerton Poacher on the A534.
Dr Rollo, I work just up the road and have had a quick look round it when i went to get a part, its a tidy motor. Holdcroft Renault at Crewe are shite though, I've only taken my clio there once and never again!!
On my old 172, my drivers side worked when it wanted. Renault diagnosed it as a Ballast, they said (probably wrongly) that water was collecting near the ballast and made it faulty ???!!!!
Echoe's my sentiments as expected tbh.
Never have used and will continue not to do so.
Supermarket Jet Wash FTW, although what i do there, is power wash the brush before placing it anywhere near my car, anal i know!
Do you or dont you ?
The roads are constantly filthy, and washing car by hand is a bit of a drag in the cold weather, so do you take it the car wash? Also have no outside tap as moved house recently and not put one up yet!
In 9 years of driving i've never done it, horror stories of stones in...
For 2008
Insurance -£440
Tax - £220
MOT & Servicing - £330
Fuel - Around 6k miles a year at 30mpg so 200 Gallons, avg £1 a litre (over the year) = £900.
2009, needs the cambelt service, and petrol a little cheaper at present.
Parked in the visitors car park for the marketing suite for the College Gate Estate, also think I may have actually seen you walking with a partner and the sales woman, Catherine. Bloke had yellow boots on. I live on that estate, but my 182 is in my garage. :star:
Ive owned a 172 and 182 FF.
Speed wise, nothing noticable.
Handling wise, the 182FF is far beter and lets you carry more speed out of a corner/roundabout, so i suppose looking at it from that angle, the 182 would be quicker.....
Economy 182 is worse than 172.
