Alas I am buying online and not going through the main Renault dealer (who could match the online price but not the APR) although the car is being sourced through an undisclosed Renault dealer. If I have a problem like yours I guess I could find someone with an old banger that had some MOT...

Although it depends on the monthly payment levels it tends to be around 24 to 28 months that most of these policies break even and you can walk away. In fact it makes more sense to hand it back then and start a new agreement on a new car than to keep going to 36 months. They even let me take my...

Id go for red and wouldnt bother with any extras like foglights etc. No point loading the car up with AC as its just more weight and less performance. Am only interested in brand new model though same as with Clio as these things get driven into the ground by boy racers. What is the lead...

Look on your finance agreement. Look for the total amount payable. If the car was £8k the total will proabably come to around £10000 or something due to interest and admin Charges. Basically to hand the car back you have to have paid 50% of that total amount. So find the total amount and...

You will have to pay them about £4000 and give them the car!!!! Bend down, grab your ankles and grit your teeth mate!!!

Trouble is I have to sell my current car. The person buying it needs it immediately and so is lending me his worthless old banger until I get the 182. Thing is the MOT on the banger runs out early/mid October and it aint gonna pass without £££££s so this leaves me with a major problem!!! Also I...

I ordered my car in Racing Blue with Competition Stripes at the end of June. Delivery would therefore not have been until October (how feckin batty is a three month lead time for a 5 year old designed car that falls apart after a few thousand miles). Anyway Renault contacted my online agent...

Just curious, how do you know a flat caused you to lose control? Surely the tyre would have been punctured when you hit the curb? Unless of course you found a nail or something in an otherwise undamaged tyre in which case the insurance co cant blame the flat on over sized wheels causing the...

My advice tom-m is that half the rude boys in Britain have lexus lights now, your car would look more individual if you kept the originals!!!!

I find all dealers are superb up until the point when you sign on the dotted line and drive off their forecourt....

Going back to the original posting...yet another person getting a black 182 with cup packs who only had to wait a week???? How come these dealers have loads of spare black 182s sitting around doing nothing where as everyone else has to wait 3 months? Ordered mine mid-June but I will be...

As I said before, my Vectra has three preset settings, one is for something like 91 RON, one of 95 RON and the other for 98 RON. It detects the fuel being used and makes adjustments accordingly - one of those adjustments will be to the timing and you certainly notice the performance improvement...

What exactly is the correct 0 to 60 time of the 182? In my copy of Evo they did a group test in which the Clio pulled off a 7.0 in the wet, 2 up and with a full tank of fuel (average over 2 runs in opposite directions). In the back of Evo they have independent test times that has the 182 in...

Hmmm I felt Optimax did benefit my old 1.2 16v. Could have been a placebo effect I know but I havent used any other fuel since that first time two and a half years ago.... I am not that clued up on the Clio engine but the engine in my Vectra is not "mapped" for any specific type of fuel as...

Hmm before I ordered my 182 online I tried negotiating prices with a Renault dealer. They could only offer an ex demo at the price I wanted though. I told them no thanks because demo cars get ragged by test pilots (are you one ivegota16v or are you a genuine buyer?) or used by the sales staff...

Before I take my car to the dealers I always clean it up real nice and take some photos. That way if they damage it in some way they cannot deny that it was like it when I brought it in. Also they have commented in the past on how tidy my car is - if they have noticed how tidy my car is they...

Once the spoiler is corrected the only problem will be the bonnet which is fairly easy to fix. Ditching the Clio for another new car wont solve anything unless you buy an old banger in which case you wont mind scratches etc. Seems to me like you just need to be careful over where you park...

Very lucky, 99% would drive off and not leave their details. I tend to avoid going to places that dont have large carparks with empty areas where I can park safe in the knowledge that no smacktards will try parking next to me. I reckon its worth getting hold of an old banger like a Nova for...

Ok I ordered my car online and today I have had a letter stating that it has been placed on factory order and it will be delivered to the dealer in mid August. Given that it was ordered sometime this week just gone, is that date likely seeing as some people are waiting 8 weeks for the car and...

At least you guys have a date, I am still waiting for one....

You are kidding? Ive done that track day where you drive all the cars and of course it includes the Clio and a Caterham - http://www.motorsportsensation.comwww.motorsportsensation.com I would never in a million years sell a Caterham for a Clio after that experience! The Caterham was my fav car...

LMFAO!!!!!!!

You can hand it back when you have paid in total 50% of the total amount payable. If you have not paid 50% you can pay the difference up front and then hand it back. You need to look at your agreement. Depending on your agreement you may find that you have reached the halfway point after...

Not being funny or anything, I am from Bristol so I dunno if it is local dialogue from somewhere else in the country but what does "Chav" mean? I have only ever heard it in this forum. If it refers to those types I see all parked up in Mcdonalds car park on an evening then yes I pray they dont...

Seriously why do they shut it down? If I have to wait til October just because the French cant be arsed to make the frickin thing I will get a CTR instead! All leave should be cancelled until they have figured out how to build them properly so that they dont rattle until they are at least a...

It always sounds worse than it is when driving over those stones. Had the same stuff happen to me. They resurfaced a major road on my way to work and I drove as slow as I could but it sounded like my car was being beaten to pieces. There was no damage though but I had to wipe a load of tar off...

Why do they shut down the factory?

Hope mine comes that quick. I have just paid a deposit so far and havent been given a date or anything. I had gone for racing blue with stripes but may scrap the stripes if its going to delay it. I ordered mine from one of these places on the web but its a proper uk sourced unregistered...

Removing the dash sounds like a recipe for even more rattles than it probably has already. Never really seen the point in these phone holders, all they do is mess up the dash. I would just keep the phone in my pocket or the door pocket and use a blue tooth headset.

"from what I remember doesnt have any luxuries apart from a radio and a dashboard?" Nah your thinking of the Type R mate!
