Ive just been out driving around for an hour or so just for the hell of it. After all its not my fuel being used! They gave me a full tank and its only gone down one bar so far. The car is on 61mpg and I cant believe how quick and responsive it is. Id forgotten how much fun Clios were to drive...

A Yam R1 and a blow up doll? I dont regret buying mine yet even though it broke down before they delivered it. When it does turn up I will see if anything else breaks and then decide whether I regret it or not.

Silver "d" Silver "c" Blue/green "I" :o

Yeah it might turn out to be a dci 100 and then I will have egg on my face!

Drove the old 205 into work today as I had to give it back to my boss. Will look on the side strip of the dci when I get home. Tell you what, if it turns out to only be a 65 then I am definitely rejecting the 182 and getting a dci 100!!! Dunno how much these dcis cost in relation to the 1.2...

My old man just pointed out that they have had the bleedin thing for a week and only now discover its busted!!! Its only the fear that this could be a sign of things to come that bothers me. I am not too worried about not having the car today as I think I could happily live with this dci for...

I believe the light came on when they started the car up this morning. They were going to deliver to my house on a small transporter (the sort breakdown companies use) and the light came on before they even tilted it up on to the trailer. Guess its been sat in a compound for a week so the...

No idea phunkey, they just said early next week. So thats another holiday day im gonna have to use up! I now have a citrus dci on my drive!!! Not sure what model it is exactly but it has big alloys, digital climate control and these weird digital fuel and temp guages. Obviously a diesel...

Hmmm Now I had two 1.2 16vs that never had a single defect. A mate of mine has an Extreme and in two years it has been back and forth to the dealers a good half dozen times. Guess where his car is now? Yup you guessed it. I am getting stressy because there seems to be a trend that a car...

Tell you one thing, when they do deliver it if I find so much as a pin prick on the paint or a blade of grass on the carpet I will reject it. I will go over it with a magnifying glass. My worry is that after a few days a light will come on again. Then what? Wait 2 week before a Renault dealer...

Is this justification to reject the car? I have to say I really dont want it anymore.

Waited since mid June for my 182. Was getting it this afternoon. Just had a call saying that when they went to load it on the transporter to deliver it to me the engine management light came on! Gonna be delivering a hire car to me now. They cant tell me when I will get the 182. Breaking...

Yeah mate, normal. Put some Michelins on it and dont go fast round corners. Should last ages but will be boring. Alternatively you could put some 35 quid cheap crappy tyres on and give it a good hammering.

Where are they worn? Outside of the front left primarily? Thats roundabouts. The sports contacts on my 1.2 were knackered after 8k. My mates premium contacts went in the same time period. The front left was the worse in both cases. I dont rate the Continentals. The front Michelin Pilots on...

Well its coming in the afternoon and I printed out the checklist that someone here posted. Got to inspect it properly so I have taken the whole day off. There is potential for damage occuring on the trailer especially when they drive it on and off and when they strap it down. Will examine it...

I was riding motorcycles for years before I got my first car! I have overtaken more cars on single carriageway than most people in here have had hot dinners and the 182 is positively snail-like compared to vehicles I had 8 years ago! I had a close shave yeah, bit different to the above as I...

Yeah less than 24 hours! Digi cam is on charge. I have started taking notice of the weather and the reality has sunk in now. My car is going to spend its first six months covered in muck and filth so I wont get to see it at its best until the spring. It will get filthy on the way down...

This is similar to the accident involving the V6 in France. Technically speaking you may be in the right but if you drive around with that attitude you wont live very long. People only look right when pulling out of junctions and driveways and have been doing so for years. Its not going to...

lol you are probably right about the PCP but if you read the small print they can demand at anytime to inspect your car and terminate the agreement if it looks as though you have breached the terms!! Ideally you want to rag the nads off the car for 3 years then hand it back!

What sort of finance? A PCP? Read the small print!!!! With two jobs are you ever going to get to drive this thing????

Only thing I might add is an RA2 but I am really seriously thinking hard about whether its worth it or not. Perhaps when they hit £300! I cant believe how loaded you lot are! I see all these people taking their brand new 182s to track days and making all these mods without a care in the...

Jesus mate, that was cutting it fine? You had a coke-cans worth of petrol left?!?

Thats black cars for you mate. My Vectra was like that, you had to use Super Resin Polish everytime it was washed otherwise when you looked at the car in the light it looked all smeared like someone had rubbed greasy hands over it! Some Autoglym soon sorted it out. Tried Meguiars Gold Class and...

Tell you what phunkey, the last 3 days are worse than the last 3 months! You have that to come!

Thursday afternoon and its coming on a trailer Phunkey so panic over! Just home they dont shaft the splitter when driving it on and off!!

Caterham R500 Radical SR3

VX220 Turbo or an Evo.

Oh dear thats got me worrying. I can see it now. They drive up in filthy weather, then when they get to Bristol they quickly pop it through a car wash....aaaaarrrrrrggggggghhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!

Dont suppose you have a handbook handy? Damn I guess not cos u r in the same boat as me!

Corv says: do u think its safe for me to drive to london, all appears fine at the moment Toypop says: it goes ok? Corv says: yeh Corv says: seems fine
