Not seen a 182 in 4 weeks and probably see a focus rs at least once a week. Think there are only 5000 focus rss over here .. There cant be that many 182s on the road yet, by the sounds of it they cant get them out of the factory fast enough!
Had the car 4 weeks now and not seen a single one on the road yet and I do approx 400 miles per week.
Does anyone know how many have been made / being made ?
It would be nice to have a rare car. How long are Renault making the 182s for 1/2/3 years ????
Had mine fitted and took the battery out of the renault key so the central locking doesnt get mixed up. Just use the fob now.
Be careful because ive heard a few horror stories about some muppet fitters making a dogs dinner of things. I got mine fitted by a company recommended and they have...
A mate had an imported subaru sti and was losing approx 30 bhp because he was runnin it on 95 grade.
I guess that is nearly 10% so the clio could be losing out on approx 18 bhp!
I have an imported 182 and inside the filler cap it recommends the car is run on 98 grade i.e optimax.
Are the uk renault dealer supplied 182s the same?
I have been running it on normal 95 unleaded while running it in. Now it is ran in I have opened it up a little and it suprisingly very...
I have to say I was wondering that also! Mine has the cup pack with the grey alloys but going off some of the posts in here about renault "they could forget ?? or make a mistake and put the standard suspension on... couldnt they?
Is there any way you can see visually? maybe a part number or...
I press the button to turn it on and then have to do it again if I have turned the ignition off?
How do you set this so it comes back on when you have turned the ignition off and on again... Do you have to hold it down or something? Hope this isnt a fault on my car !!!
I rang Renault cus services the other day to register my car (import). Found the guy quite good on the other end, asked me if there was any problems with the car, how it was running etc.. Thought they might have been a bit funny with me because it was an import and i didnt buy it from a franchise.
All this is very reassuring ... not
Think i will do some asking around to see if someone knows someone who works at Renault who will look after my car. Always the best way I think, especially with what everyone has been writing above :(
Used it for first time on my 182 today. Seems slightly out though? Set it to say 70 on the trip computer and the speedometer reads 71/72 ? Same if you set it at 75 or 80, 1 or 2 mph out.
Is this a calibration fault or is this common on other peoples 182 ?
Just got full monty cover from norwich union for £49.36!!! (Norwich Union Rescue rescue/recovery/at home and onward travel)
Cheaper than a spare wheel!
AA = £149+ RAC=£149+
The stamp in the book is in french and looks like the renault factory itself (thats what i was told also). Do you have a number I need to ring for renault to register the car? .. I guess this will be in the book somewhere anyway.
I did go to 2 renault dealers before getting this and i have to...
I did get told about it not going through the import centre and not having the cat 1 alarm (i didnt know about the windows though).
The only thing i was concerned about was the warranty when buying it, but was told I still get the 2 years manufact and 1 year uk dealer (unless you can tell me...
Only problem Ive had so far!. Guy at work bought a 40k porsche boxster that went back to garage 1/2 a dozen times ... so it that a poorly built car ?? mmmm ..
I have to say I cant fault it and there is nothing yet that annoys me only that too many people notice it and stare ... I have shown...
Got my 182 (titanium metallic + cup pack) for £12,488 otr. Came direct from renault factory so no alarm as standard. Had a cat2>1 upgrade fitted for £275 and thatcham locking nuts for £30 .. so £12,793 all together and waited less than 2 weeks for it!!

What was up with the throttle on your 182?
I picked mine up last weekend and had a funny throttle problem a couple of days ago, just wondering if it was the same as yours.
