make sure you ask them about the log book and when youll receive it as I bought my 182 from New Reg Cars back in October and still have not received the log book. Called them today and the salesman said that it takes at least 6mths b4 Ill...
new RS clio will be 2litre NA, no turbo, but having seen the Astra VXR with 240 bhp in autoexpress I am starting to get nervous about my next car, there are going to be lots to choose from!
Well as Ive wasted an hour of my life reading this thread I am going to give my 2 p worth!
Easily the V6, no doubt about it, the megane is reanults version of the Vauxhall Zafira GSi, a family car with a fast engine.
The V6 is a fantastic car around a trac and isnt too shabby on normal...

no probs, had a pic already...
when taking a sweeping long bend at speed the dashboard will light up as I had it on the same corner everytime i went round it at Spa.
The only thing I could see that was low was the brake fluid which had been destroyed and needed changing to a higher dot due to my track daying of it, that...

Yes you can. Its on as standard if you click the ESP button next to the Cruise control it turns off ESP and TC, but not ABS (as you cant due to the tw*ts in brussels)
R U sure as I thought traction was always on but just ESP was turned...
the play in the clutch is a feature of a lot of clutches and is nothing to worry about
the wheel alignment is something that people have been discussing on here recently, if you do a search you should find some info.
Autocar timed the full fat 182 to 60 in 6.3 and said that once it is run in it would easily hit 6 seconds as the one they tested had only done about 600 miles

Forgot to mention, Lloyds carselect seem about the cheapest for full uk car, not pre-reg either, but dont know about p/x.
Whoever you order from you will have about 12 weeks to sell your own, sure you could do better than p/x.
doh...
i might as well post my usual reply
lloyds tsb carselect are very good, 11900 for the full fat 182 but dealer supplied and not pre-registered.
they also accept p/x
enjoy
I dont think they are gash, most of the safest cars on the market, one of the best innovators, best spec levels, best value for money, best thrills per £, amazing renaultsport range etc etc......
Yes they have a few issues but so do all manufacturers and if you go on any of their forums you...
i think you are mistaking traction control with ESP but I am no expert. The loud noise when booting it in first is the traction and is not what this thread is about.
what we are all talking about here happens at very low speeds and has nothing to do with losing grip, it is purely an engine...
id take delivery of it as is and see if you like it first, in the flesh you may grow to like the stripes and then arrange with the dealer to have it booked in a week after you receive the car to take them off and you could always cancel if you decide you want to keep them?
no, as far as I am aware this is the traction control kicking in to try and stop the wheels spinning, it just sounds like the engine is trying to jump out of the bay because it is cutting power to the front wheels and they sound like they are jumping.
This is not a fault but how the traction...

If you order from the carselect (lloyds) website does anyone know if you can specify a 182 with full cup pack in inferno?Ta
yes, you can specify the same options as any dealer, you also get a discount off those too.
i get between 27 and 31 all the time with a mix of motorway and a road driving (mostly motorway).
I personally do not really trust what the trip computer says, cant see how we can all get such a varied response,
Some people of here have seen 40mpg, i have never seen above 35! even with just...
i always liked normal coloured alloys until I saw the 182s anthracite ones and I do really believe they suit the car much better, make it look more menacing and sporty.
