Yeah I thought by cleaning mine first they wouldnt bother! I mean what a bunch of plonkers, how the heck can you make a car look dirtier by washing it!

Yeah I had one of those magic trees yonks ago! Smells nothing like the real thing!

Yeah but I have had a few new cars from different manufacturers and they all smell different. I like the Renault Clio smell! Funnily enough I found all my Clios smelt the same and some had a cloth interior and obviously my 182 has different materials so I am not sure whether the smell comes...

Just got my 182 back from the dealers after having the emissions light looked at - dunno what they did, they didnt say! Anyway I have noticed that everytime I get my car back from them it smells strongly of that smell it had inside when it was new. Now I know it still smells like it did when...

Mine seemed dodgy this morning for the first mile. I reckon its just cold and damp too. Never had to press the pedal to the floor though. By dodgy I just mean not quite as sharp as when they are warm.

All new tyres are like this. I remember fitting a new set of fronts to my Montego and for a fortnight it felt like I had power steering and could turn the wheel with one hand!

Mine was crap for the first 800 miles. The only solution here though is to let a local cliosporter (with a 182) drive your car. That way you can be sure before going to the dealer if there is something wrong with it or whether it is just tight.

Mines in the gallery section on the main site and thats a titanium with Cups.

Get a CTR mate. It looks like the daddy and is fashionable without being gay like a TT/S2000/Elise/Boxter. Doesnt matter how good those cars are they will always be driven by posers so the gay image will stick. CTR feels far more refined and better built than a Clio which I guess is what you...

Mine is like this. It feels like it might cut out but the rev counter doesnt move. I can definitely feel the car shake a bit when it does it. It tends to do it when the engine is warm and ticks over at lower revs. When cold it revs a bit higher on tickover and avoids the lumpy feeling. I run...

Mate just shove a large bit of innertube down there.

Definitely the weird aerodynamics that go on behind the car. The 182 is by far the worse car I have had for it, worse than a 1.2 by miles, dunno if its something to do with that weird shaped Cup pack spoiler? Go along the dual carriageway in the rain and it looks like someone is spraying your...

I have a CCTV tape from outside my house of an almost identical situation. 3 lads walking back from the pub and you can hear them saying "go on do it". One of them runs towards my car but the security light came on and took him by surprise so he stops. They then cross the road and go off shot...

I have +3 treble and +3 base and I tend to have my volume set from 12 to 14 and I might rarely go to 15. Cannot for the life understand why anyone would want to go above that unless they have hearing problems.

Those standard wheels look sh1t mate, get some OZ Super Leggeras.

You are crazy, there will be queue of people on here wanting your originals with me at the top of the list! The originals are the best by far.

I found even the DCI 80 felt pretty nippy when I had one as a courtesy car. Was a very pleasureable car to drive although it did have extra luxurys like climate control which might not be standard in the base models. Dont see the point in tuning one though. I mean either enjoy the amazing fuel...

For whats its worth I reckon a dci 80 feels a sh1t load quicker than a 1.2 16v. Perhaps rather than going to a 1.6 it would better looking at dcis? The dci does have that run out of steam feeling but if you drive normally you dont notice it and it feels really quick pulling out junctions.

Yes with a few applications. But naturally it wont do anything about the damage from curbing and if you have been scrubbing hard as you say you could well have scratched the wheels a fair bit. The good thing about wonder wheels is that you use a gentle motion to remove the dirt.

Be very careful not to splash any on your paint work. I found on my old Clio that I was flicking small bits of it on the paint, I was also making the mistake of doing all four wheels before swilling them off. As a result I had little yellow spots on the paint (silver) around the wheel arches...

You are joking? The real thing looks better?

You know in all my years of motoring I have not once wanted to have my seats heated?

Thats what cracks me up about Renault, you give them £12000 for a new car and they charge you £20 for a set of decent mats. What a bunch of complete ****ing a** holes. Toyota gave my bro free top quality mats on his base model Yaris. He merely enquired as to whether they had any and they...

Yeah when Renault offered me an ex demo for the price I could buy a new one online I told them to shove it. They insisted that all demos are driven carefully with full supervision. As for that suspension knocking, that aint the car bedding in. Its either that engine mount or something else wrong!

DO IT NOW Only if it has cup packs.

Probably space and weight. The characteristics of the engine suit a 5 speed box though, you dont have to change gear every five seconds.

Doesnt Optimax (and all higher octane fuels) have a higher ignition point than 95 RON so actually standard fuel would be better for cold starts?

These were sound blokes, seemed genuine. Quite a bit older than your average 182 buyer, one of them had a son or daughter that was old enough to drive! Definitely not the types to go driving the car like a chav (like my neighbour did) and earn 182s a bad rep!

Just came out of Comet in Longwell Green Bristol and two geezers were walking around my car looking in and stuff!!! I went over and one of them started asking me all about it etc cos he was looking at buying one! He already knew you could get it cheap online so he had been doing some...

LOL now you see why certain stories are not allowed to be told here! You can see how it makes people look like a bunch of planks!
