    182 locking / unlocking

    either way its nothing to worry about. If your not going to open your doors/boot etc why unlock it? :confused:

    182 locking / unlocking

    Requirement of a Cat 1 alarm iirc. If you unlock it and dont open any doors etc, it will automatically lock itself after a short period. [Edited by lagerlout1 on 12 August 2004 at 3:51pm] beaten to it ^^^^

    Standard 172 H/U

    You could probably splice two off the speaker out puts into an RCA convertor or something. But its less than ideal.... Something like this? http://www.incarexpress.co.uk/view_product.php?partno=PX043http://www.incarexpress.co.uk/view_product.php?partno=PX043 I dont know too much about car...

    heel & toe technique

    Im going to try it again on th way to work. I can totally see the idea behind doing it - I blip the throttle on non-braking down changes (overtaking etc) to try and match the revs to the gear Im selecting. I just find heel and toeing really hard!!!

    Speaker Wiring

    iirc, when I changed mine when you disconnect the plug from the back of the speaker its written inside the connector. ie a little + sign. Have a look....

    2nd hand 172 value!!

    Imports will sell for roughly £1000 less than a UK car. Ask LeeM. His car would have been worth a thousand pounds more part ex had it not been an import. Sad but true. For the record, I have a UK 172, but only paid £12,000 for it new. Which was cheaper than Motorppoint at the time. [Edited by...

    How much is my 182 worth

    £12,500 ish. If its a UK dealer car. Upto a grand less for an import. There is an 04 Silver 182 with both Cup packs on my local dealers forecourt for £12,999 with 3000 miles on the clock....

    182 limiter

    You should warm your car up for a good few miles at least before redlining it.... the temp gauge is the water temp - that is up to temp in no time and gives no indication as to whether the engine is warmed up or not.

    So thats where Renaultsport got the idea for the Cup then.....:D

    I Didn’t Buy the 182 Chaps........

    Seems to be a regional thing. There are waaay more CTRs where I live/drive than there are RS Clios.....

    Mysterious gear change light

    04 had a facelift and a lighter flywheel. Shaved a couple of tenths off the 0-60, but nothing else..... In a stright line, youll be struggling against him tbh. Lead him into some tight twisties, flick off the ESP and gun it..... The fabled gear change light has nothing to do with the optimum...

    ** Metal Monkey Group Buy **

    Id like some of these. I would like the same as yours monkeh, but with blue numbers and the Renaulsport logo in place of the Cliosport Logo. BTW, are these hard to fit?

    Which engine

    That makes sense, there are some dirt cheap 172s about at the moment. (Including mine, which is yours for £10k.. ahem) At a guess though, I think insurance might be the issue as opposed to the cost of the vehicle. If that is the case, then you wont go far wrong with any of the 1.5 DCis. The...

    Youll love it. 10 months on, and despite the rattles I still love driving her. Hard. Thats the way they like it.....:D

    coloured renaultsport seats

    They did stop with the cloured stitching when the mk2 came out. Maybe the previous owner swapped seats.....

    Quater mile simulator

    Right, give me a good reason to buy a 182

    I was faced with a similar choice when I bought my 172. I test drove the CTR and was generally pretty impressed. Its better built, but the interior is by no means excellent. The handling of the CTR is actually quite good. Bags of grip and little body roll. My biggest gripe was the much fabled...

    The Halfords Zymol cleaner wax...

    I have no problems with Mer. Quick, easy and cheap. Looks good and leaves a nice shine. Finish it off with Meguirs #16 Carnauba Wax every month or so if I have the time.

    Privilege Insurance

    I had nothing but trouble with Privilege Insurance. I wrote off a 2001 306 Dturbo with no-one else involved, no damage to property etc and it took them 4 1/2 months to pay me off. I was £10,000 out of pocket for that time. Sounds like it might be an isolated case, but I wouldnt touch them with...
