Wow they got all that done in one day! They have had mine a week and done sod all!

Ok latest news. It will be one week tomorrow morning since they claimed that the engine management light came on. Called the broker this afternoon at 4pm. They in turn spoke to the Renault dealer who are going to get back to them. The broker said they would ring me back as soon as they hear...

So what do you do when you take it in? If it comes back with a scratch how can you prove it wasnt there before they had it. Can you get them to inspect the car before they take it off your hands? Personally I think any reputable garage should spend 5 minutes when they receive a car going over...

To be honest I think I am being lied to so dont see the point in even talking to them. If it was an engine management light it would have been sorted by now. I reckon they pranged it when they went to put it on the trailer. Am I ever gonna check it over thoroughly when it turns up... /t0y

My car has been at the dealer since last Thursday morning when the engine management light came on just before they were due to deliver it. I still havent heard a thing and they have had the car 4 days now (not including Sat or Sun)!!!! How incompetent can you get?! /t0y

Give her the choice, pay in cash for the damage or you will claim on her insurance therefore putting her premiums up. If need be you have to go through the insurance a solicitor route as its the only way to stop these people. If you hadnt been watching she would have hit your car and driven...

You should report her to the police then claim on her insurance to get the repairs done? /t0y

What about the digital rev counter trick? /t0y

Yeah what will give me grounds to reject the car? How big a scratch for example? If the Cup splitter isnt fitted can I reject the car and make them take it back (its being delivered to my house in Bristol from a dealer in Portsmouth) or can they say something like your local dealer will fit it...

Only two things bother me about the car going wrong: 1, I cant get to work without a car. No work = no money = no car. No one pays £13.5k or £300 a month (if they get a loan) on a car only to have to phone up work every other week and say they cant get in. 2, The dealers scratching and...

Honda Insight and Toyota Prius. Prius is £18k, only does 65mpg and has less than 80bhp.

Renaults aim is to flog as many Clios as possible. Unfortunately that doesnt automatically mean that they need to build something that impresses the track day crowd. Look at the sporty C2, it wont set the tarmac on fire but it is very popular amongst the chavs. I would imagine that more...

So how would I notice if this happens to mine? Is it easy to notice like a seriously loud noise or what? What do you expect a prize for?

Who was the muppet that stuffed the car and ended up in hospital?

Loads of Clios in Bristol but they are all 1.2 16vs. I have seen hardly any 172/182s although I dont go to cruises and hang around in areas where that crowd tend to gather. In my works car park (which is very big) there are a few CTRs and not a single 172/172 Cup/182. And Bristol is the...

Seats are better in the CTR without a doubt. Gear box and driving position as well. It was slower round the Top Gear track though?

Come on! It doesnt even have fog lights! Its stripped bare!

Well you could argue that the CTR is closer to the Megane than the Clio? As for pricing, if you increase the spec of the CTR to that of the 182....

I am assuming that Karl has just placed an order for one? When I looked at the prices from my online broker it appeared as though they werent offering half as much a discount on the "Cup" so it was very similar in price to the full blown 182.

Shouldve got a dci, LMAO I was about to post and ask if one of the moderators could do that for me! You beat me to it. The CTR is third on my list now behind the 182 and dci. I took my mate out in it last night, he has a BMW 323 and the first thing he said when we pulled out onto the main...

Driving the dci last night made me think that anyone who buys one of those hybrids has to be the biggest mug going! The dci is half the price, has more power and does more miles per gallon! You would think that shutting down the factory for a month would give them time to sort out all the...

Every car? Well going on the cars some of my family members have had (not exactly choice motors I admit) the following never broke down, they definitely never broke down prior to delivery: Austin Montego, Austin Maestro, Austin Mini, Daewoo Matiz, Vauxhall Vectra, Vauxhall Astra, Toyota Yaris...

In most cases you can only get insured on the car if you are the registered keeper. My bro bought a new Yaris, just a 1.0 but he is 18 and the insurance was ridiculous so he bought the car in my mums name and is a named driver but he pays for all the insurance as my mum doesnt drive. Not worried...

Hmm well his missus sounds pretty well busted up. Me thinks she would be looking to claim damages on his insurance. To do that she would have to make a statement to police that he was not driving with due care and attention and the old bill would them do him for that as well? Wonder if thats why...

Whats the adac button and what exactly happens in this diag mode?

How do you do this?!?!? What does the diag mode do?

Whats gonna happen during the gap between the Mk2 being discontinued and the new renaultsport model being released? If my 182 gets written off there will be nothing to replace it?

Cool trick? Is this the one where you turn the key and the engine actually starts?!?

Well the missus dont want to see him so maybe she thinks the driving wasnt sensible! Unusual for the rear to go out like that. Unless someone is corning very hard I would expect nothing more than a tiny bit of understeer so long as his tyres were legal etc. If the road was so slippery that...

Cant buy the diesel, have already signed the paper work for the 182 so unless something is wrong enough for me to reject it when it turns up within the next few days I am stuck with it! Being stuck with a 182 is nothing to grumble about I suppose! A little worrying though is that it broke...
