    Clio 182 (Do You Have To Run Her In)

    Pretty sure they are just guidelines !! they cant tell you how to drive your car. If Lotus/renault/anyone tried that trick on me the solicitors would be on the case. ;)

    182 cruise control switch

    Anyone had an issues with the cruise control switch going back to the off setting on its own or when hitting a small bump. It was ok for a few months but now its doing it everytime I try to use it (usually when im bored) I guess I will have to go back to the devil dealer.

    182 Uprated Speakers; have u really got

    If I remember correctly ... CD chagner was £300 extra Sound upgrade was £350 (with mention of 4x40 watt hu) However, my dealer said the sound pack didnt exist as the system was upgraded to the cabasse 4x40 watt system anyway. Even if it was upgraded, it would still be junk. ;)

    182 Cat bypass pipe, are they available

    Indeed we will. I have taken a good look inside the cat, and was esepcially surprised as the build up that had already begun to form after only 1k of driving. While renault have improved the cat, they still need to plan long term, deal with noise and pollution laws. If they had their way ...

    Hammered mine from 36 miles up to the current 2000 ... goes well, but then I only have to keep mine for 2 years and then its someome elses "issue" ;) I havent had any problems with cold idle really. All I get is a bit of popping at about 3krpm (when easing off) that goes away when its warm.

    Pro-Speed - Review - 182 De-cat

    ok then .... oh and about the size. Doesnt look very big to me compared to the pics on k-techs site (their sports cat next to 172 cat) but then I cant say I have seen many on past cars.
