I can't believe all the problems people are having with their brakes on 182's . My mk2 172 is still on its original fluid , second set of pads and discs at 48,000 miles . I've never been keen on abs anyway , its got me into more trouble than its got me out of . Only problem i had was 2 months...

Trimlines the company to call 0870 1620625 . They are franchised based company and really only do trade stuff ,all the dealerships use em to repair interiors . Cost me £40 to fix a cigarette burn and recolour the leather on the bolster . MrBillyUK !

Good point ! I just assumed that she had bought it from a garage . If it was a private sale you don't really have a leg to stand on , sold as seen . If it was from a garage i would be right back there to get them to sort out the problem . When i pay good money for something i expect the goods...

I've used seagates , western digital , and maxtor . Maxtor runs the quietest . http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/products/index.html?rb=14985502723&action=c2hvd19wcm9kdWN0X292ZXJ2aWV3&product_uid=89515 MrBillyUK !

I'm guessin that your pc being 1 1/2 - 2 yrs old will have ddr memory , probably pc2700 or pc3200 . You dont have to fit memory in pairs , you could have just one slot filled . Depending on your budget , i'd just get another stick of 512mb and leave one slot free . Havin 1gb of memory you'll...

I always use Maxtor diamond Max hard drives . You can download a utilty from www.maxtor.com that formats and partitions your hard drive from a floppy disk in a couples of minutes , much better than doing it in dos . Now don't quote me on this ( i may be wrong ) but you need to be running...

I agree with Mr Angry . Get it back to the garage asap . Tell them it was like that when you bought it .If they don't wanna know tell em its illegal to sell a car thats not road worthy when its stated as road worthy ! I bought a second hand Pug 306 , when i checked the spare wheel a couple of...

www.gtgrafix.com Not cheap , but fast and very good quality plates . I have these ones with the domed carbon letters , looks the dogs . http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d127/mrbillyuk/CLIOPLATE.jpg MrBillyUK !

Never thought of that . I'll check out the full fat 182's also .But definetely must have cup suspension .And i've fallen in love with the inferno orange colour ,lol ;) Thanks for the advice , much appreciated :) MrBillyUK !

Cheers edde ! I'm just lookin for a newer car .Plus from what i read the cups suspension is alot better than the full fat 172, i've never really been that impressed with the handling round corners of the 172 compared to my old Pug 306 S16 .I would miss the xenons i think , not too bothered...

I'm looking at buying 182 cup . Can somebody tell me what are optional extras ? Do they have the xenon self adjusting lights ? Do they all come with the cup suspension as standard or was that an optional extra ? Do they air con / climate control ? Do they all have traction control ? I've...

They're a bit of a b*astard to get off and if you do you'll probably snap it . Best way is just to undo the 4 torx screws and take off the engine cover . 2 mins of a job . MrBillyUK !

Just seen this on the renaultsport website . Don't know if anybody else has seen it yet ? http://www.renaultsport.co.uk/championships/cliocup/news/story.asp?ArticleID=1234 MrBillyUK !

Don't know where you got yout info from on import tax ?? . I regularly get something from the US and i never pay import tax and the cost isalways over £100 and in a large box ! MrBillyUK !

Is there a sealing washer on the filling plug ? Did you replace the sealing washer or just the old one on the drain plug ? MrBillyUK !

Anything imported from the US or any other country is liable to import tax if it isn't labelled as a gift. $180 = £102 + p+p + import tax = ??? Why ?? Yozzasport £80 delivered ;) MrBillyUK !

First time the guy from renault took me out in the 172 he told me you should drive it from new like your always gonna drive it , if you drive it like an oap its gonna always be tight and drive like that . Once its warmed up give it hell ! MrBillyUK !

I have a 51 plate 172 . I'm in 2 minds wether to change it for 182 cup ! I'm not sure of the spec list on the 182 cup . What does the standard car have and what are the optional extras i should look out for ? Plus how much better is the cup version over standard 182 ? I've just had a quick look...

36 k service at renault in preston is £324 on mk2 172 . MrBillyUK !

I had the same problem in my Pug 306 . Turns out its air in the cooling system or it could be your thermostat like manji says . Its worth a try anyway . Take off the cap to the cooling system ( don't know what an rt enigine looks like so i don't know if its a separate bottle away from the...

I'm on 3 with a Nokia 6680 . Never had a problem so far ( touch wood ) Check out this website . It compares all the tariffs , networks etc ..... http://www.onecompare.com/ MrBillyUK !

I've seen lots of useful information on here , good guides and advice from people . Wouldn't it be good if somebody could put together all the info people have on things like removing and replacing interiors , engine and bodywork maintenance , ice installation etc...... , anything that covers...

I'd be interested to know how easy it is to change , how much to refill etc ... MrBillyUK !

I got myself a second set of calipers , stripped em down and painted them with black smooth hammerite spray . Check out ebay for hammerite , i got 3 tins for the price of 2 in the shops . Get yourself some wire brushes like the ones on screwfix...

Never had a problem with Adrian Flux . Don't forget they are only the broker , they use Royal SunAlliance insurance , so if you have any problems they are the people who actually pay you out . Sorted my claim out no probs and kicked ass with the body shop who f*cked up the repairs . Also you...

I paid about £135 for the 12k service but that was 3 years ago , wait til you get a quote for the 36k service , it'll break your heart ,lol ;) MrBillyUK !

Well these are the disks for Williams , if you don't have abs they won't have an abs ring fitted i would imagine . MrBillyuk !

Give Adrian Flux a call on 08700 777888 or Ashbourne insurance on 08704 60 80 50 MrBillyUK !

Not owning a Williams i'm not 100% but this is what i've found . Looks like the same disks as the rear 172's . Check if yours needs the bearing or abs ring already fitted . http://www.grahamgoode.com/ebc/index.php?partno=GD571&model=120 MrBillyUK !
