id probably recommend anybody to check this, when we laid down some power cable from the engine bay to the boot we had to undo the bolt at the bottom of the seatbelt to get the cable through (passenger side) and the bolt was loose (like finger loose). Pretty scary that somebody else had a...

Pity they decided to pack as many stations in as possible at the expense of sound quality. What do you think of the sound quality?

yep, its one of the joys of owning a renault. Its a known problem. Turn your stereo up!

just out of interest, why have you replied to a thread thats 8 months old?! :confused: I got quite confused reading from the top of this!

did you actually declare the number of miles on the clock when you took out the insurance? If not then theres not much chance of them knowing how many miles youve done since you took out the policy.

Co-pilot 5 is the new daddy of PDA sat nav. Theyve actually done feature upgrades from V4 to V5 (unlike tomtom who appeared only to do interface changes from V2 to V3 and hence lots o b1tch1ng from existing customers). Co-Pilot 5 also has a nice interface and supports landscape mode. Adrian

Maybe they should give the 182 another run in a year when lots of bits (of fluff) have dropped off, maybe itll sneak a bit closer to that R32!;)

The one Ive got can be picked up secondhand (only secondhand, not made anymore) for approx £300-£400, although I know somebody who managed to buy one on ebay for £150 (buy it now!) which was a massive bargain. Takes 2 laptop drives and runs linux, boots in about 3 or so seconds, requires an...
