The new 182 feels slightly unsettled at speeds of above 70mph... the steering wheel seems to be shaking from side to side quickly in a straight line as though going over bumps.
What would cause this? 2 new front tyres were fitted 200 miles ago, so might have been balanced incorrectly? I havent...
stupid question, my LED sidelights turned up today. How do i know which way round to install them. Most things ive read suggest they'll work both ways but the proper was will be brighter.
these are what i bought...
i need a new bike rack for the clio, it will only need to carry max of 2 bikes. Whats people's suggestions?
roof or boot mount? dont really want to be spending huge amount, will only be used occasionally.
Halfords?
Ta, Dan.
Ok, not the best of weather to take pics of my new car, but i did anyway :approve:
She's a November 2004 Inferno 182 with both cup packs, 22k miles and 1 previous owner. Loving it to bits so far, although feels very different to the old 172 :D
anyway, the pictures say it all...
sorry...
Its been a fantastic 2 years with R4WDC and i'll be very gutted to see her go... but tomorrow is the end of my ownership. Such a fantastic car in all aspects, just a shame its getting to that age when parts need replacing frequently.
Ive put her through tough times, both on "drives" and...
Last week I renewed with Greenlight on the 172 at a premium of £750ish. Well ive just traded the car in for a 182, and they said they won't charge me any more for the upgrade of insurance, just the £25 admin fee which i have paid.
Well ive just looked for some other quotes for the 182 out of...
Spotted today in Exeter (dont ask me where, i was lost. Somewhere near to PC World)
It had a big twin exhaust hanging low under the bumper.... Silver 52 reg Ph2 172
been a busy day today returning my car to as close as standard as i could. Its back on its original suspension and its looks so different its strange! Also re-fitted the orange side repeaters, orange front bulbs, standard rear lights, old shockers... umm, i think thats all i did.
It looks...
I need to take my private plate off the clio to sell the car, i know it will cost me £80 with the dvla to do this... but whats the process? It wont be going straight onto a new car, is this a problem?
how do get the ball rolling with taking it off and getting the 172 its new plate?
whats...
while the clio was being MOTd by the Honda boys, they loaned me a little Honda Jazz to pootle about in.
Is it wrong that i loved it? great little cars, maybe in a different colour though :o
would have been great if i could have borrowed the new CTR (which is soooo comfy inside) but alas...
saw a Mk2 Ph2 1.2 16v on the A338 Bournemouth this evening with a Rentech sticker on the bottom left corner of the rear window. Looked like a female driving.
Was that kinda bottle green/blue metallic colour.
Probably nobody on here, but was great to see a car with one of Mike's stickers...
Today about 10am.
Ph1 172 looked completely standard, i wedged a ClioSport flyer under the window wiper, but it was raining so dont know how long it lasted!
ok, so something else wrong with my car now!
i need to check my engine mounts. The drivers side one looks brand new, still has the renault part sticker on it, so will probably just need adjusting. Is it just the 4 bolts that i undo to adjust it, or the big bolt in the middle too?
What about...
