Used optimax from start, 2500 miles later had to fill up with tesco99 last week as optimax had run out around here. Noticed mpg dropped from 34 to 31 mpg (exact, not using trip computer) - anyone else noticed a change like this?

^when I was shopping around + Direct line were being ars*holes, I tried Privilege as they gave the lowest online quote. The guy I spoke to was really helpful, tried to insure the car as a cup until we came up with too many differences. Anyway, he read out his list of options as he saw them...

The general feeling will be that of mixed opinions! It didn't even occur to me that cup packs should be declared until I starting reading threads on this/renaultsport site. The Renaultsport "panel of experts" stated that cup packs were modifications and should be declared (well it is a...

Sounds ok to me, try privilege online for a start - they should beat it by a bit

Mars red(?) - 1pm going through old stratford traffic lights

182 with both cup packs declared 32 7 yrs ncb fully comp, protected ncb etc £370 with privilege (£310 without cup packs!)

Probably a losing battle as everyone else said. About 10 years ago some tosser REVERSED into me while trying to open up some space for a girl turning into the same road. Funnily enough all the witnesses vanished before I could get anyone's name + the guy who was all apologetic later phoned to...

Bit off topic, but was having a look at the filler cap for the first time since getting the car, couldn't get the damn plastic-flap thing open to access it. Prised it up as much without snapping it + noticed wires holding it down underneath. Only way I can see to get at them is by unscrewing...

As the manual says, 33 front, 30 rear

Sat morning, between towcester/northampton, two of us following each other for a few miles until you turned off onto M1 south 15A - anyone here?

Is this likely to do any long term damage if just left alone, which seems simplest thing to do especially as dealer is bound to fob you off etc? I remember a similar post and think the technical note as mentioned referred to anti-corrosion treatment. Wouldn't want anything to rust to pieces in...

About 1230 today, beside you at roundabout

About 8:50 am this morning, weedon road just past saints ground heading out of town

Renault do say declare it, I asked on the "panel of experts" on renaultsport.co.uk a couple of months ago (look for yourself) and was told the 182 cup packs should be declared to the insurance companies. I was with Direct line who tried to bump my insurance up from c. £320 to £570. Ended up...

good tip

Cheers, I'll try that

Had my black gold 182 4 weeks + some tosser in car park put scratches/red mark on door mirror today. Not that noticeable to be honest, but what do you suggest to remove red paint mark (assuming it is paint - quite dark red, not some coating on mirror??) - tar remover or similar?

Had 3 different 1.4 8v RT clios since they came out '91 (2 x mk1 and a mk2) and decided it was time to have some fun before the mk3 came out. Economic to run/decent sized boot, Getting a bit older + having a bit more cash also helped! Found the official renaultsport forum which helped my...

Doesn't affect NCB usually (maybe a number of claims in a period might) but bear in mind if you are going to change your insurance soon that it could be counted as a "no fault claim" as I found to my cost when I changed to kwik-fit insurance a couple of years ago.

Washed mine recently and wheels/brakes had frozen solid next morning, had to pour warm water over them to get going after I'd almost wrecked the car revving + not going anywhere!

Is there anything on the dash to indicate when it is activated i.e. the ESP light warning coming on, or is that only lit when you switch it off?

Parked outside BRI, Bowden Road, 02 plate, Recaro seats I think?

3 weeks, 1k miles, hopefully less pa in future

Get the spec confirmed from Motorpoint over the phone. They import (to UK specs for insurance purposes) but suspect that it wouldn't come with a Cat 1 alarm, for example. Got the wife's Mondeo from Motorpoint and had no problems overall, just a slightly different specification. Got my full...

Came off M40 north, heading around r'bout to A41 bicester direction, non cup'd

Bad luck mate

About 10-15 mins before M32 turnoff, 3 in car, girl in back taking a good look at my black 182 as they went past me.

Silver one, anyone out there?
