yep, its one of the joys of owning a renault. Its a known problem. Turn your stereo up!

just out of interest, why have you replied to a thread thats 8 months old?! :confused: I got quite confused reading from the top of this!

did you actually declare the number of miles on the clock when you took out the insurance? If not then theres not much chance of them knowing how many miles youve done since you took out the policy.

Co-pilot 5 is the new daddy of PDA sat nav. Theyve actually done feature upgrades from V4 to V5 (unlike tomtom who appeared only to do interface changes from V2 to V3 and hence lots o b1tch1ng from existing customers). Co-Pilot 5 also has a nice interface and supports landscape mode. Adrian

Maybe they should give the 182 another run in a year when lots of bits (of fluff) have dropped off, maybe itll sneak a bit closer to that R32!;)

The one Ive got can be picked up secondhand (only secondhand, not made anymore) for approx £300-£400, although I know somebody who managed to buy one on ebay for £150 (buy it now!) which was a massive bargain. Takes 2 laptop drives and runs linux, boots in about 3 or so seconds, requires an...

What you want is a harddisc based HU, no need to change discs ever! Quote: Originally posted by omar on 22 June 2004 <!-- ZoneLabs Popup Blocking Insertion -->Get MP3 head unit + MP3 changer... Then you can have all your music in your car, and change the CDs once in a blue moon...

check out the dent on the arch of the one nearest the camera. eek!

Actually I remember now, its IGNITION SENSE!

its power, youll have to tap it from somewhere, i.e the ISO connector on the headunit.

have you got cruise turned on? That stops it. Adrian

The best thing you can do is park it as far away from any other cars in the car park, your worst enemy is other car doors!

I told them to f**k off because they wanted more than £200 extra than directline, I was with norwich union direct for 3 years. The guy on the end of the phone said there was obviously no point in going to norwich union! Had they had been anywhere near the directline quote Id have stayed with...

pity that they dont actually appear to have done anything other than cosmetic changes, by far the biggest gripe with tomtom is the time it takes to plan a long journey, other systems dont seem to have a problem. I remember one guy planning a journey accross the UK and it still hadnt finished...

youd need to replace each relay with a transistor/fet based circuit, which is going to be an amount of effort and warrantly invalidating, alternatively turn your stereo up!

Given the fact that autocar themselves said that they had never had a 172 as fast as the original one they had from renault on test, Id take these figures with a pinch of salt until people here have their cars run in and timed properly. If these figures are correct (as in, not a car supplied...

youre all wrong. Rather confusingly "artic" blue is this rather fetching shade of brown. ;) http://erc.qmuc.ac.uk/cliosport/gallery/full/1079177962__arc_blue.jpg

and what makes you think a Type-R would have faired any better in the same situation? Look at some of the wrecks on this site that people have walked away from..... I think there are other reasons for owning a Type-R, safety not being one of them, renault (for the good) are obsessed with ncap...

youll need too without climate control! ;) (*unless you have a cup with climate)

Unfortunately (for you) theres nothing there with the damage (that I can see) which gives any indication of whos to blame. The damage to your car could have equally been caused by you going into the side of him. Out of interest what exactly do you think makes it look obvious that he caused the...

bin. (my god an 8 track, my parents had loads of 8 track casette thingies....) Adrian

mp3s are not naturally gapless, they have a number of samples in them which are silent (I think its 30 or so milliseconds), thats long enough for you to pick up a slight break between tracks. The newer versions of lame have a gapless option which fills these blank samples with the real audio...

hehe...you dont have to do an awful lot to get reported for "driving without due care and attention" - theres no way in hell theyd get me for that ;), but as it turns out spending £160 on the course was cheaper than spending £135/hour on my solicitor.... (Plus you get a free pen & highway...
