Get rid of it then, i question why you bought it in the 1st place? surely if you are spending a lot of money on something then you are going to make sure its right for you? Also I dont care what anyone says 172's are faster than VTS

You must have had the fastest 1.4 Clio in histroy if a 182 couldnt pull away from you until 90mph (top of 3rd) as a 182 will hit a 100 from a standstill at least 15secs faster than a 1.4

Why did you buy this particular 172? surely you test drove it and if you didnt like it, then why buy it?

As long as he drives carefully he will be fine.

it seems very strage they wont insure you, I would have thought they would have jumped at the chance to get some extra money off you

Thats what i thought. For me though I do about 5k a year so my 1st service was done on 10k (2 years) so if i carry on at the same rate then my 72k service will be done after 12 years from new, so the cambelt wouldnt be done till then. That seems a long time

RS Tuning, they are very highley regarded on here. does the cam belt need changing after 72k?

Thats not a bad hourly rate then, try another dealer or better still take it to an independent dealer

is that supposed to be £78 labour or £786???

Only pulling your leg matey

accroding to test its slightly quicker than a 172, i think in autocar it was 0.8 secs quicker to 60 and 0.9 secs quicker to 100, I think they put this down to better traction. Although it could just have been a better example i.e on another day a 172 may post better times

can someone translate this for me?

They are UK registrations, in total 11973 182 were registered worldwide

So true, ive seen a video of a 172 cup all over a trophy on the track at the end of the day it will come down to the driver if both cars are std

Just seen this video on you tube, not sure if its a repost but here it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zp__6bM02uo&NR

Welcome to Cliosport! If you are struggling to get it sorted then I suggest taking it to Ezra Sugden in Worksop. every time I have dealt with them they have been excellent

Does anyone know where that list is which told us how many 172/182/V6 were made in each colour? I take it petol blue is the rarest!!

If you like the colour go for it at the end of the day its going to be your car

I wouldnt bother, basically you will be paying 4k for marginally better handling (I dont knoe but probably hardly noticeable on the road) and then you loose loads of kit. If you are going to change just go for a much better car

V power for me, I used tesco 99ron once but the economy dropped by about 2-3mpg

I think the colour was actually called petrol blue and it was one of Renault's ID paint which was about a 1k optional extra the other id colour was liquid yellow. Petrol blue 182's are as rare as rockin horse poo

is that private or from a dealer? You should be able to get a decent one with low mileage (10k-20k) for around 9k

Go for the Michelin's as thats whats on the car as std

Glad your enjoying it

very nice

I have a copy of it saved on my hard disk if you want it, pm me

Other than the twin exhaust and different wheels the 172 cup and 182 are pretty identical in looks from the outside. I think you need to decide what you want? if you want all the toys then go for a 172/182 if you can live without them then get the 172 Cup

Thats not suprising as you had to be insane to buy one over a full fat 182

Possibly, wasnt really interested what was up with it, just wanted the cruise control back!

turn the radio up! is it really bad? mine rattles but its not loud
