Give Renault UK a ring and ask them...it wont affect the car, but it should have been cheaper than a UK Renault dearler car. warranty will be 3 years if it is imported, if the service book is up to date...

Howz that? If they buy from a UK dealer, theyd sell for the same price.
If they buy direct from Renault and have UK spec. then its exactly the same as importing.
Plus the cars in the dealerships are all imported from Renault in France, which strangely enough is where they all come...
I dont find the ride too hard compared to other cars that Ive driven, harder than standard but still nice and comfortable around town, if you like the 182 then you wont be sorry!! ;)
Honestly, yes. The 182 is slightly less hard (over bumps) but just as firm if you know what I mean...eibachs make a noticeable difference to the handling of the 172. :cool:
Nice car, nice to have but if I got one now it would only be coz it was newer not coz it was better....they are just...
"Can someone confirm that lowering the 172 with Eibachs will give as good a ride and stability as a Cup ?"
Yes it does!!! I have eibach springs on my 172 and I drove the 182 cup yesterday :)
That car looks so at home in your drive!!! ;)
Yep, I came away thinking that the only reason for me to swap mine for a 182 was because it was the newest and latest, dont get me wrong it was a fantastic drive with only 500 miles on the clock and if the exhaust made a bit more noise and it had different alloys it would be near perfect for a...
Not sure dave, sorry. Was like the cup blue but a little darker. Your car looks great!!:D
D-CUP, he was only sulking coz I didnt buy it off them, loads of people on here have imports, they buy and sell no probs. Id have another :)
Ive just had a test drive in a 182 with cup options, it handles great on twisty country roads, the suspension is firmer and it shows, I really gave it some welly!!!
I didnt like the wheels but the darker ones do look better on the silver car, they also had a blue 182 in, looks good in...
Thats a good price, my sis paid nearly 8k for hers 4 months ago, she got a 3 year warranty included.
If its just before 36k then theres a big service due, but 6.5K is a bargain anyway!!:)
sounds like the 4k rattle, mines got it, get them to sort it as Renault charge £500+ just for the centre section (the bafflers are loose in it) or even better, and cheaper, get them to put a ss exhaust like a Magnex on for you. :)
I got the exact same PM just for a yawn!!! Bored of the mines better than yours threads, thats all!!
I thought it was well out of order as Ive never sl*gged off anyones car on here.....now caravans they are fair game :devilish:
And why he thinks I should get a girlfriend and have sex for the...
lol!!! Calm down, Calm down!! ;)
They are just below the headlights on the bumper, (well away from the windscreen) youll see a stalk with (hopefully) a small plastic ball in the end. If it comes out the worst that will happen is people on the pavement get a soaking....lots of fun!!!
It takes...
