lol here comes the old 205 gti reminiscing... I agree totally though.

small cars are getting too big, its the vw golf all over again :cry:

did you look further afield on autotrader to see what similar cars further away are priced at? Also did you compare to a similar specd petrol clio (more common) with similar mileage? Easiest thing to do is consult parkers though. Good luck getting it sold!

192 bhp 6 speed mini mpv no doubt!

my offside rear shocker burst after 7k miles: replaced under warranty, manufacturing fault. Also TC ABS and Service lights came on a few times due to Brake Pressure Sensor Calibration: Hasnt happened for a while... Theres knocking noises, either engine mounts or exhaust mounts I reckon.

get the correct figures from renault or someone who knows for sure and then tell the guy doing it what setting to use. Hell be setting it for a 1.2 clio no doubt...

yeah dont clip it onto the plastic around the inside of the boot, make sure its the metal hinged rings... Ping, ouch

contact arnold clark, both cup packs and metallic paint for £11900 last time I was in... Plus I bought one at that price!

I was trying to say that in plain english, well done you beat me! lol

sorry dunno why I quoted you lol I meant insurance, not finance...

161bhp / ton for the ginetta, compared to 171bhp ton for a 182 interesting...

are you forced to use a renault approved insurance company or renault insurance itself? My mate works for Bentley, get VAG cars real cheap but have to pay through the nose for insurance

would have been a good thing to buy when it first came out to sell on for profit while people were stuck on waiting lists. Notice the amount of mini convertibles which appeared in the autotrader, people trying to be smart... bet it didnt work! Wish I had bought shares in BMW just prior to the...

Id have hoped not, I hate the new mini with its whining power steering... [Edited by rory182 on 14 February 2005 at 3:20pm]

Anyone thought about painting white stripes up the bonnet and getting the roof done in white or a union jack or saltire? Oh and paint the wing mirrors white... :p

exactly! But when you put coilovers on your 182 itll be better than a cupd 182... just itll cost you more

Its not just the cup shocks that do it, Im un cupd!

I love how the clio RS always get compared to cars that cost so much more, helps me justify buying one!

Youll hear it start to sound bumpy from a corner, it gets worse and worse. If you look behind the rear wheels you can see the shocks coming down, if theres any sign of oil on the outer then a seals gone and youre losing oil from the shock. [Edited by rory182 on 14 February 2005 at 1:38pm]

At the end of the day then may as well stick to Exaltos eh. Cheers guys

I know that its designed around pilot exaltos and all that and know theyre good tyres in wet and in dry but.... whos got a good alternative? Out of curiosity more than anything... Ill probably stick to exaltos though. [Edited by rory182 on 14 February 2005 at 11:15am]

inferno red is more orange than red really, mars red is a dark red - looks quite classy.

Id have thought only the administrators could do that

yellow is a bit OTT I reckon, especially on a car like the v6 which is already in your face. Mars Red adds a bit of class, really nice colour.

so long as theyre the same shock I hardly think therell be any difference after 5k miles... unless the opposite shock has lost oil and if it has then its a warranty too!

This happened to my offside rear shocker after about 7k miles (on a 182 also) it is covered under warranty. Make sure they get the right shocker i.e. if you have cup suspension make sure they get the cup shocker!!!

what you comparing? If you compare a 182 to a cupd 182 Id say the cupd will have better turn in and less roll than a standard 182...

I have an un-cupd 182 cause I do a lot of long journeys and its comfier! Its not as if the standard 182 suspension isnt sports tuned, just not quite as firm as the cup pack. Granted the cup will have better turn in and less body roll probably, Ive never driven one, and I presume most who buy...

get them to take them out of the boot of a 182 on display?

Thats a decent distance, I do a 5 hour drive from Glasgow to my work without leaving mainland Scotland, its bigger than you think!
