Whats the range of those baby monitors then and how long do the batteries last?

Firstly colour cameras are not very good in low light and to be honest I dont think a street light is enough. You need one of those security lights that comes on when someone walks past it and point it in the direction the camera is facing. Secondly you are not going to sit there all night...

I have CCTV combined with a security light. I think its more useful for the deterent effect than anything else. At night with the harshness of the light it is hard to pick out the details of peoples faces and even if you could see their face the old bill wouldnt be remotely interested in looking...

Nah the 182 just seems faster than the Yaris, in reality it isnt! The 182 makes a load of noise what with the rattling and banging so it sounds like you are approaching the sound barrier when really you are doing about 28mph. The Yaris is completely silent which makes it seem deceptively slow...

I am a weirdo so guilt as charged. Bandits go for less boring colours though like red or yellow.

If I remember correctly, at the Spanish GP circuit the Moto GP bikes achieve a higher top speed on the main straight than the F1 cars. This is despite them exiting the final turn at a far lower speed due to the lack of downforce. The lack of rubber and downforce does hamper zero to whatever...

Renault would have just claimed that the belt hanging off was a "feature" of the car no doubt!

Cliosport Was gonna buy a CTR and wanted to do some research on whether Cup packs were worth it or if I could get a 172 Cup new. Found this site in the process.

The Formula Palmer Audi was a bit lame as well, the Jag and the Caterham were by far the quickest cars. Dunno why those Clios at Bedford would need to be limited. Same engine as in our cars and they dont produce any more power than a 182 - just over 180bhp. Now if they self destruct with hard...

Hmm me thinks the performance figures of the Cup touring car are not entirely honest. Didnt feel much quicker than the 182. If it was quicker....

New Golf GTI next week so when the heck is this 182 episode?

I had an interesting metallic sounding vibration as I hit 7k today, normal?!?! I thought valves were hitting pistons! I drove the Clio Cup touring car at Bedford, no such noises! Sounded well sexy with the sequential box, just like the touring cars on TV!

Anyway, looks like it aint on. Instead we basically get a repeat of the Aston review that we saw yesterday on Top Gear.

Aha if you are blaming the rattles on the hardness of the ride you are very very wrong!!! My Vectra SRI 150 was notoriously hard, after 200 miles you wanted out! Nope for some reason the Renaultsports appear to me to be built very poorly compared to the Dynamiques etc. I will be totally...

Some of those times must be in poor weather, Cooper slower than a Sport Ka!!!

My two 1.2s never rattled and neither did the dci courtesy car. What is it with Renaultsports?

It didnt rattle. It didnt knock or make any other funny noises. Didnt have that push in 2nd gear at 5000rpm though and for some reason (that as an owner escaped me) it didnt have any credibility as everyone though it was badly built and unreliable - christ they should try a 182!!! Main...

My car has pi55 poor build quality all over. About the only thing that aint screwed up is the body work which appears to be fine apart from the scratch on the tailgate and two dents in the bonnet. No other troubles with the paint and panel gaps. Inside the windscreen vent is very noisy and the...

Hmm I do get a strange noise come in at 4k and above...

Ken are you running on 95 RON?

I have been flashed once or twice but I am far more worried about the auto lights as sooner or later they are going to get me a kicking! I pulled up behind a golf cabriolet the other day on a roundabout underneath a motorway and just as the girl driving looked in her mirror the bleeding lights...

My Clio seems to make irritating noises at any speed. As soon as you pull away there is the over run knock when lifting off the thottle. At 40 the windscreen heater vent rattle starts up. At around 4000rpm a nasty noise starts that could be induction noise but could be a vibration or...

Mine does it too. Load of crap these cars. Fed up with knocking on over run. I aint gonna take it to the dealer cos only one person on here has ever actually had it fixed and there is a good chance the car will get damaged when its in the dealers hands. If the movement of the engine or...

Just do a search of this forum for the last 12 months and search for: "just crashed :(" Thats should give you an answer.

I live in Bristol and mine is the only 182 I have ever seen in the flesh apart from the demo car at the local dealers. Seen plenty of CTRs and a couple of 172s.

Looks like the old Micra.

Just out of interest how long does the oil take to warm up fully? My commute is a journey of 8 miles and I never rant it because I figure the car aint warmed up properly until I get near home. So I go out on a weekend and go for a 10 mile cruise and then start winding her up.

Talking of rattles etc, my bleedin car has just developed that knocking sound on over run in first and second gear!!! Took 800 miles for it start but its here now!!!

My mates rant their cars when cold. They come out of the pub and start revving their cars up in the car park to impress bystanders. Then they go straight out onto the ring road and start screwing it. Thick as s**t. I got fed up of warning them so I just laugh now.

Look Renault say 98 RON. They design and build the engines and no doubt test them thoroughly. They know far more about the engines than anyone on here. If Renault say 98 RON then regardless of what Cliosporters say, run it on 98 RON or 97 if you cant get Optimax. I am sure you can get it in...
