Theres always gonna be other issues, but its a discussion forum let them discuss. lol I notice a huge amount of people with faulty lights at the moment, why dont they get pulled?!

I dont tailgate, I do know what Im doing believe it or not! Buses and vans are the same, you dont want to be stuck behind them do you?! So you pass them as soon as you can!

Im always paranoid about that happening, the dillema is when you have to de-ice the car you want to have the engine running while you scrape the windows - but you dont wanna leave the bloody door open! Happened to me in my 205gti, had to call my sister to pick up my spare keys and bring them...

Id have a bowler wildcat personally and landrover defenders are amazing things, I did a 4wd day recently - scary steep stuff! Status symbols most of the 4wds and a bloody danger, I hate not being able to see the road ahead cause your views obstructed by a bloody disco.

Yeah I thought I was bad too, Im on 14k just now, thats in 7 months!

You used to be able to fill out a vehicle modification thing and someone once told me just to put the new engine number and omit any details like 4.2 V8 and they just assume its the same sort of engine as before! This was guys who modified old ford populars and built hotrods etc...

if only they did aim them down the road properly in a RWD point and shoot style! So many folk crash and say oh i must have hit oil - aye right! You were going round a bend too fast for the road conditions, just admit it!!! Oh and people who dont use their gears, gimme strength! lol I got a...

its not just BMWs its those who can afford a big plush car like that but have no idea how to drive. Such a waste! I remember following a women in a 350z talk about undue progress

Problem with most BMW drivers is they dont realise their buying rwd and they scare themselves silly when they first drive round a wet roundabout probably!

Totally agree, think of the workmen! (in a non village people kind of way) They quite often have temporary gatsos at sections with roadworks too. Plus slowing down to 50 means you get to accelerate back to 70ish after the works!

You know the one thing which gets right on my tits?! Folk who sit at 40 on a 60 and then carry on at 40 when it becomes a 30zone grrrrr infuriating!!! Everyone breaks the speed limit, I dont believe for a minute anyone sticks to them 100% of the time.

Ive heard of bikers who put a foot out over the rear number plate when going through gatsos! Thats quite ballsy eh. I used to work in a shop and served a traffic cop who bombs about in supercharged mercs that do 8 or 9 mpg. He said he thought speed cameras were just revenue generators in most...

exactly!

wouldnt boast about that on here!

woops should have read on... apparently must use reno parts for warranty

did they use a renault filter?

speed limits are different according to vehicle types, im just saying its pretty messed up when a large vehicle with huge stopping distance and massive momentum can get away with speeding significantly (in the instance of speed cameras). [Edited by rory182 on 06 February 2005 at 12:18pm]

I dont condone speeding in built up areas. Im not 100% innocent either before anyone gets on their high horse! what gets me about gatsos etc is that they cant differentiate between vehicle types. What I mean by this is if I were doing 70 on a 60 (theoretically) through a gatso Id get flashed...

i dont want to get involved in a big drawn out debate but speeding in a built up area is for more serious in my eyes (and in the eyes of the law) than on an open road. Some prat nearly crashed into me last night, he was doing about 50 on a 30 (resedential area) coming round a blind bend, then...

cheers for that, I just feel it could only be less comfy on the long journeys with cup suspension. I appreciate the turn and stability would be better with it though. Ahh well Im happy your happy were all happy :D

Just out of curiosity, is there a big difference to the drive / handling of a standard 182 compared to a cupd one? I presume the 182 has sports suspension anyway, considering what it is! I bought a standard 182 and am pretty happy with the ride (I drive a lot of long distances) Im also...

viewing is advised although I appreciate this may be difficult as I am Jersey based lol u dont say!

I pay £209 a month for mine sounds bout right cause I have final payment, you have meaty deposit...

see if you can get a private sale on you 1.2 first, renault will do the same deal or maybe better if you pay cash deposit as opposed to a trade in.... cant hurt to put an ad in the autotrader can it?

when we talk lack of space all we need to do is look at the position of the fecking dipstick! I feel Id benefit from a 6th gear personally - particularly on motorway, cruising at 3000rpm in 5th has an annoying engine note as the car wants to go faster, 6th gear would be nice.

silvers a bit naff I reckon, still contemplating doing something with the silver sprayed plastic inserts on the dash.... Alcantara would be nice! match the seats

Why didnt they use a 6speed box? Is it a space thing?

lol from the title of the message I thought someone was going to put a 225 engine in a clio and was asking if itd fit! Wouldnt mind a 6 sp box either.... Welcome, forum should be pretty helpful for you I imagine seeing as theres people who seem to know Renaults & Renault Sports inside out.
