If the surface is rough then yes it could happen mate. Obviously if the surface is perfectly smooth then perhaps not.

How many problems are you having with that car!!!!

The "clicking" noise you are hearing is the suspension springs turning in the mounts. While they may have fixed/modified part of the problem your symptoms definately match the traditional problem.

That's happened to me before. Guage was showing 1/4 of a tank when the light suddenly came on and 1 mile later the car cut out.

Mines had the modification done to the suspension mounts but the noise is back just as bad as before.

Suspsenion mounts are faulty. Renault have a modification to fix this. Quite a few posts on the forum about it. Edit - Engine mounts aren't the cause. They may make a noise under acceleration/deceleration but this is clearly the suspension mounts.

JT should be able to answer this.

Unfortunately it happens quite often.

Renault would probably say it isn't covered but I'd definately try before conceding defeat.

What was it?

Do you park on a slope to lengthy periods?

Easily? Doubtful.. I've owned both cars and there's no noticable differance performance wise. Perhaps after 70 laps of Donnington the Cup may have pulled out a lead but there is no way on earth you can have "easily passed" 172/182's unless they were in reverse. Sorry just doesn't happen.

I can't see anything major being wrong on a car that age just the usual common faults as outlined earlier.

And they mark really easily too :mad:

Dunno mate, currently covered by Renault AA. EDIT - http://theaa.com/services/breakdowncover/index.jsp - There you go mate.

Perhaps you should send a support email to xtr ;)

Maybe worth adding yourself? Had to call the AA yesterday (first time in 10 years of cover) but they arrived within 15 minutes and the chap was really helpful.

Maz aside there's a "Mazi" and that's it.

Doubtful but may have been added after it was imported.

Hola! Bienvenido a Cliosport. Dónde en España es usted de? Now I've used up most of my Spanish back to English lol I'm not aware of what "Kit Racing" is but perhaps someone else on here may know.

lol Nope mines fine Si. Edit - Si you're showing as online to me.

Got nothing to lose by asking mate.

Doesn't the 182 get it's extra bhp (or most of it) from the INLET manifold? Don't shoot me if I'm wrong, only asking.

Someone else could probably fix it but you'd end up paying. If it's under warranty then get Renault to sort it.

An hour should be plenty of time. Try seeing what the limiter point is in fourth gear as you will have longer to accurately see when it kicks in. (Motorway at nigh seems the best place)

Creaking noise on full lock is indicative of the suspension mounts needing the modification. Normally done under warranty so no idea how much that would cost. Renault are aware of this problem though and have issued a technical note about it. As for the exhaust rattle jus knock some off so...

Faulty locking mechanism probably. Happened twice now on my cup. You might start to notice the cental locking has a mind of it's own as you drive along.

Seems a good price obviosuly dependant upon condition. I presume the RAC will check these but looking for dodgy engine mounts, creaking noises when the steering is on full lock and a rattle from the centre section at 4k rpm. Obviously the last 2 pointers require the car to be driven.

Define "fully warm" and by the way it's not a shift light.
