    182 Clutch - Major Surgery!

    If you drove it harder whatever was rubbing would have just worn away. :p Ive never had any problems with mine, just the clicking from the pedal, but my 172 did that also. Good that they finally worked it out well under warranty mate.

    Enquiries

    My key was in the folder with the manuals. Everything was still in the boot and sealed when I got mine, they hadnt even put the mats in.

    182 cup packs and insurance

    Glad to have helped MM. This year Im paying £100 less than last with FA, with a 182 instead of 172 and an extra 3 points!! Go figure! One of my mates called them today for a quote on his Impreza turbo. Hes 30 and they wouldnt touch him!!

    When I took Dave out I kept trying to let everyone go so I had some clear track, but as soon as we reached a bend they braked early and I was back with them. lol

    cars booked in

    I always get a 1.2 Clio from Sutton Park, or Clio, Modus or Megane from Renault Birmingham. My insurance dont charge extra for a courtesy car on my policy. Service could be anywhere betweem £180 to £230 Id imagine. I think mine was £180 something.

    Black and Blue @ Brands!

    Cheers Steve, I found quite a lot of empty track throughout the day, I think the only session which was bad was when I took Dave182 out. The only downside to empty track means that no one really got me on video from outside. I wanted to see me three wheeling it around.

    182 cup packs and insurance

    It varies. First Alternative class any car which is as it left the factory as standard, so Cup packs are included in the value of the car. Some companies dont do it that way though. Luck of the draw. Lee

    I really dont like them at all. If I was offered one of course Id not turn it down, but it just looks crap to me. Pootle sees them all the time around by where she lives.

    182 - The car for me

    I drive mine a 42 mile round trip in and out of Birmingham City centre so it has to be good for the commute otherwise it would be a nightmare. Admittedly when Ive had a 1.2 courtesy car thats been far more comfortable in traffic, but the 182 is fine, just the heavier clutch, but you soon get...

    182 - The car for me

    Hi, welcome to Cliosport. Ill have a go at answering your questions mate. 1) Nope, any other Clio in the range wont give you an idea of how the 182 is. Ive had other Clios are courtesy cars and its totally different to drive in practically every way. The most youll get from it is the...

    IMO, the best example

    Cant argue with that. Leos Cup is pretty much spot on. Shame its not been too reliable every time Ive seen it. :(

    The V looked like the 54 plate which was pottering around most the day. The other blue on which wasnt a RUK car had Lexus lights.

    Enquiries

    The plastic storage area under the passenger seat usually has the folder with the tyre foam in it. It doesnt move. I removed mine and put it under the drivers seat to allow me to put the autochanger under the passenger seat. The clunk is normal, they all do it. If you can locate your...

    Cheers Chris. Not so sure thats how it "should" be done Karen, but it always puts a smile on my face hooning around like that.

    182 Cup Recaro Seats (pic)

    Thats no good. How did he expect you to let it drift out to the outside of the corner using the throttle when all the time its braking its inside rear wheel? Still doesnt have any problems keeping up with you though. ;) You just have to be aware that it doesnt like such an aggressive...

    182 Cup Recaro Seats (pic)

    I take it they didnt allow you to switch it off Jon? ESP really kills the car on the track. I didnt have any problems with my ABS, if you watch the in car footage from mine youll be able to hear plenty of tyre of tyre squeal under hard braking. Although I would prefer to not have it on...
