    New 182 - drinks fuel

    You need the super stuff to get most power from the engine the ECU was programed for 97+ fuel so not using it means less power as the timming is retared to stop knocking (although you probably cannot tell).

    Definitive Cup Mods for *IMPROVEMENT*

    As for warently any mods and affected equipement warently can be invalid only if they can prove the mod is to blame so unless thay can prove that different springs accounted for a suspension failure they cannot refuse any warently work on anything.

    1.4 16v or Dci 80

    Yep more torque than a 182 in the DCIs. Take a test drive in one and drive it as you would normally and youll notice how much faster it is reving the nuts of them doesnt work.

    Beginning to have some 182 doubts...

    If you dont mind us asking what other cars do you define as communicative. The 182 I drve with cups stuff seemed to eb the same as what you are on abot the stearing ligher than the dynamic at higher speed but no communication. Ok so I only managed to go round one round about but my old escort...

    Ive got a Dci 65 very good engine economical and even my parents notice how quiet at 80 on the motorway it is even fully loaded which is good as they owned a E class merc not so long ago. I would say personally the only Clios to buy are the 172/182 or the DCi the lower spec petrols arnt...

    my optimax experience

    The 182/172 need 98 Ron to operate accoring to the maps designed for max power. The mapping was done on 98 fuel so using cheaper stuff emans the engine knocks and the ecu changes the timing loosing you power.

    Thanks and more advice please...!

    Get the software on the ECU updated it is a common problem down to the design poor idle maybe the mods are just meaning you hear it more. Might be worth getting the plugs changed as well.

    Assuming there the same price as the old ones (they will be) then there £100 each without tyres. Assume about £50 per tyre.

    Which type of petrol

    The 182 and 172 do need premium fuel the ECU is desinged to advance the spark timing to take advanatage of it. By running none premium the engine start to knock so the power is retarded you wont notice it but there is an advantage if I get a 172/182 the aditional stuckk they stick in is better...

    good deal

    Sounds a good deal that to me assuming its not an import. £6.2 k is above what your cars probably worth just but £9.4k is about right for a 172 like that.

    Speedo Accuracy

    Yep. All speeedos have to be accurate to withi +0% and -10% so they will never over read. Say 5mm wear on a tyres for a normal dynamic. I think works out to be about 1.5% chnge ie 100mph is achually 98.5mph
