Ive always had it. Came in handy a few years ago when I had a car written off. Without it Id not have been able to afford to buy a 6 month old Pug 306 GTi-6 :D as my insrurance would have been too high. Shame Im still playing roughly the same. But as loony said yesterday, points...

^^Yup, its Matt again and one of his other names. LOL

I give up. Its over £2k for me and Im almost 30!!!!

Insurance companies hate me. They really do.

I dont know why I f**king bother. £2,095 for me on a Mk1 V6 @ £16k doing 12k a year Full NCB, garaged.

How much over a grand?

Just my opinion. I dont like not having a current model. Im sad like that.

182, I could never buy a Mk1 V6 knowing that the Mk2 is out and looks and goes better.

Excellent. :D

Im with Tesco, and pay over £800 28 in a couple of weeks, full protected NCB, 16k a year, 3 points and garaged. I get f****d over every year and have no idea why.

Sat nav was removed as an option due to low take up.

Ive had a car full on many occasions, usually airport runs. Ive got Cup suspension which is fairly harsh most the time, but with a car full of people its fine. Handling is crap as I found out 4 up around the Nurburgring, but thats not an issue on the roads. Performance wise its a fair bit...

ESP also includes Traction Control.

It just bogs you down. It slows you down when 1/4 mileing. You need a small amount of wheelspin and to keep the revs up, ESP kills the revs bogging you down.

Ive seen 15.5 - 42.2mpg from the 182.

Mines not too bad really. My 172 was horrendous.

You can get AA or RAC cover for any car. I had an import 172 previously so purchased RAC cover for that. Worth it for the peace of mind.

Dogmaul had that Dai. They recovered his seat for him.

Im sure Tom pops up in that thread somewhere. Stop provoking people on here, you know how much they love their Clios. ;)

Are you using A539s Mark? They dont give anywhere near the same levels of grip as the PE2s on either wet or dry roads. BenS commented on how much better I was able to get the power down out of the first corner hair pin at Spa compared to his Cup on A539s. Ive got some of these bad boys in...

They are even better in the dry. Get them warm and they turn sticky, so much so that I could mould the edges at Spa they got so soft. They are the best tyres Ive had in the wet though.

Fantastic, puts the power down a hell of a lot better than my 172 ever did on wet or damp roads.

Unfortunately thats right. If within the first 12 months of the car being over here someone had written Renault requesting the warranty be extended then it would have 3 years. See this letter:http://www.leemather.plus.com/stuff/rw.jpg Link The thing that gets me is that you say the dealer...

If I was you Id find out who the original dealer was that sold it as a UK car in the first place, Im sure Renault UK would like to hear of any dealers selling new cars not sourced in the correct way. Unless of course it was originally sold by a dealer on the continent then resold on over here...

Mine are okay ish. I had to stop taking any kerb though as that was tearing chunks out of them. Oops, sorry for going off topic. What Jon said.

You can do it when yours arrives. ;)

The future of the end of the British car industry. (joke)

Mine feels much quicker than when I got it. My 172 didt start to losen up until 10k, and really started to fly at around 20k. I expect the 182 to be the same. Im at almost 7k now and its running better than my 172 ever did.

Cheers Pete, Im going to use my boss as a test case, see if they chip his wheels. LOL

For the tyres he wants they were far more reasonable. Sod me getting mine from there at that price. :o
