Picked my car up last thurs, as it happens the same day they decide to re surface the 2 mile stretch of road I have to use when I get out of cul de sac.Oh no not the nice tarmac like they use in south...

just had a call from dealer prepping my new 182. They say that cant fit the 6 disc changer under the drivers seat as the colour sat nav gubbins are there. So they aregoing to put it under passenger seat and remove the storage box which is there.After talking to some on here with the colour sat...
Need some help.
Can anyone confirm what the logo or how the phrase Va Va Voom is spelt?
for instance, is it VA VA VOOM, Va Va Voom? or va va voom, VAVA voom? etc etc
thanks
Liam
just been to dealer to let him know about the stuff i want doing to the car, not drilling plates on etc etc
told me the original delivery date of car arriving here on 11th june ready for 15th, is now put back to 15th car at dealer and ready to pick up between thurs and sat next week.
oh well...
was it anyone on here saw it run a couple of times, in the 14s for 1/4 mile.
Is this about right for a williams then?
whats typical of other clios then 1/4 mile times,
16V
V6?
172/182etc
?
does anyone use these in their new 172/cup/182 for anyone who hasnt heard of them they are oil additives which give you better mpg and protect your engine more than normal oil, giving excellent cold start protection etc.
Ive used both before just deciding if should use in 182?
Liam
there are quite A few posts about faults on brand new 182s etc. Gets me worried before I even pick the car up, or it just the case of they are a minority and you just dont hear about the rest with no faults...
Hope so..
:(
I think I will have to upgrade the breakdown cover from Renault AA the extra £50 to cover punctures etc, Renault used to give this for no extra cost but they have stopped.
worth thinking about for people buying a new renault. Does anyone know if it is £50 for the full 3 year warranty?
Also...
should they be one touch on up or down or both? and which windows, front passenger or drivers or both, and from drivers side only or passenger one touch too?
finally have people all found them to be one touch right away or have they had to ask dealers to set it for them?
If i was to buy a road angel and laser add on for it, I wouldnt be covered for mobile radar is this true?
Also in new Clios will this set up work with the anti UV windscreens, if so how is there a window in the screen somewhere so it will still all mount and not look a mess?

[Edited...
know its been discussed considerably on here but just wanting to check something after been told by Renault that they only do the turn by turn from factory?
what does this mean I thought the option was either. Clearly if you pay the £1500 you get the colour built in one, there are no other...
just been looking at the spec for a 182, think it may have been the French version as it said it had a cooled glovebox?
how does this work do UK imports have this?
Like some of you have had I recieved a letter from Renault thanking me for my continued custom (they must know this is second new car of them unless they all say that) and that my order is on its way expected to arrive 10th June. the letter goes on to say how unlike some manufacturers Renault...
I will be fitting my VDO Dayton renault changer under the drivers seat of my 182 it came out of my dynamique with cassette where it worked by the remote control and was fully compatible.
My 182 with have the sat nav but i presume the fittings are the same to the rear of the cd headunit?
I...
on the standard clios the pedal pops off in event of front impact, (and i can certify they do!!! :(
anyway just wondering if the same safety feature is employed in the 172s and 182s with their fance aluminum jobbies....
;)

what does everyone recommend then? is Mobil 1 suited is GTX Magnetec suited, and if both are which is best? or what about the Elf supplied from up here in yorkshire its what renault reccomend but is the fully synthetic any good?
Whats the type of bulb in the main beam of the 182 with xenons, think non xenon models the main beam is H1 but think this may be different in xenon models.
Just want to know so I can order blue vision main beam and sidelights and silver vision front and rear units...
thanks
On my dynamique I had the dealor fit a cat 1 alarm system unfortunately they never bothered updating the warning stickers on the doors, the ones which say international secuirty register and state cat 1 or cat 2.
It appears they have stoped making different stickers specifying wether the car...
on the 172 the renault stickers on the driver and passenger glass used to say "........ and is fitted with systems which meet thatcham cat 1 criteria"
On other models with just immobilser it said cat 2
Is it right they just use stickers saying ....... meet thatcham criteria now? dont specify...
just wondering as ive yet to see one close up in the flesh,
1) does the 182 have ultrasonics for interior protection via the alarm, does the alarm cover the bonnet and boot too, and does it beep if doors are locked and accidently left open?
2) does it have the blue tinge heat reflecting...
Ordered myself a new 182 with cup suspension pack, couldnt get the spolier as ordered the carminat sat nav for some reason cant mix the 2. Even though the gps antenna which replaces the existing antenna for the radio is small and doesnt mount on the spoiler.
Hope they dont become too popular...
after writing off my 1.2 dynamique I thought it would be a good idea to replace the car with a brand new 182 with suspension pack and full colour sat nav.
It seems admiral is the best quote so far. Anyone suggest any others? Im 21 would have had 4 years no claims by now but lost them after...
