Personally i think the 182's are stuck in limbo . You've got younger people who can't afford them so opt for 1.2 , 1.4's etc..... or cheaper 172's and putting what they save buying a 172 towards their insurance .
Then you've got older people who can afford them and the insurance but are...
Sounds like you were on your way to being one of those whose bonnets flew open tbh mate . Probably a god send it stuck open while you had the bonnet up and not down :)
^^^ The moral of the story is " dont " take it to a dealers then , unless you want bummin' very hard . Just take it to a back street garage . It'll probably only cost you around £40-50 .
Whats all this £170 b****cks ? The clips snapped on the gaitor thats all , lol . Get a new clip put on , only a couple of quid or a jubilee clip . Repack it with grease first . Its pretty common for the clips to snap , both mine went on my 172 . I drove it for a couple of weeks with no problem ...
I had a powerflow stainless stealth when i had a 172 . Couldn't fault it or the guys at Powerflow . Nice sound , not too loud as i was able to choose the backbox which i liked the sound of . It was £270 fabricated and fitted .

^^^ Then you didn't read up enough about them . If you did you'd find that most people run cold air feeds from either the front grill or down in the original postion of the oem air feeds .
Sounds like it's bonded to the wheels . I doubt any wheel cleaner will shift it tbh .
Halfords sell a wheel cleaning brush , it's a bit like those pan scourers but less harsh . They are about 6 quid . Pretty much shifts anything . Or you could try using clay .
Renault do say that the 1*2's can use up to 1 litre per 1000 miles which seems quite alot to me . My 182 doesn't use a drop , my 172 never did either .
Maybe try a slightly thicker oil 5w or 10w - 40 see if it makes any difference .
Only cd's or dvd's i buy are for birthday / christmas presents . Everthing else is downloaded . I just don't see the point in paying when its out there and openly free .
^^^ Or just get one of those round silver disc dog tags and have your telephone number engraved on it .
If they can be bothered to contact boomerang then they'll probably contact you on your phone number , and it's free ;)
Just take your hard drive out and keep it if it's still working . Brake the pc up into small bits then sling it in your wheelie bin . I'll get my mum to do it if you want, she dismantled a whole gas cooker and disposed of it in the wheelie bin , lol .
The drivers side is a bugger to change with your hands if you have aircon .This is how i did it in the end . Plus a couple of pics of mine . If you do a search for led sidelights you'll find alot more info .
10th post down for fitting ;)...
I'd try wiping down the leather with a damp cloth first . Depends how grubby / ingrained it is into the leather .
I use Buffalo Leather Essence Conditioner , doesn't give it a shiny artifical look and restores the leather smell . A bit like Zaino Z10 ...
You move the wiper stalk down to the first position . There is a selector ring on the stalk for the speed .
I always have mine set on the fastest speed . Obviously it won't wipe until rain hits the sensor , but there's a fair chance it's gonna rain all weekend :(
