Seems like a pretty common problem , the clips aren't that strong , both of mine snapped on my 172 . When i bought my new 182 as soon as i got it home i put some 10mm cable ties over the gator clips , hopefully that will stop them snapping in the future . Just repack and stick some new clips on...
If there's something in the back of your mind telling you the cars not right i'd walk away and look around for another tbh . There's plenty out there . I know the seatbelts can get a bit grubby being silver but you'd think the dealer would have at least had a go at getting them clean . If i went...
I can't believe people moan about setting up a pressure washer , takes about 10 mins , then wash , polish ,wax etc... their cars for 5 , 6 or more hours , lol .
I use my pressure washer all the time . First remove all the loose dirt with a good blast , then i run a short hose into a 25 litre...
^^^ 4.75 litres without changing your filter ,5.1litres if your changing your filter . Obviously as the car gets older there will be more sediment in the sump so you'll refill with slightly less . Like ya say , put in 4.5litres , check the dipstick and top up with more if needed .
They are a good match for the xenons dont ya think ? I tried some in the interior lights but didn't notice mich difference so i put the blue sidelights i got free with the silvervisions in the interior lights , they look better than the originals , alot whiter .
You'll have to either drill out the rest of the broken nipple and retap the caliper or use a stud extractor .

5 litres will probably do . I only put 5 litres in mine last time and it was on the max line on the dipstick , but i didn't change the filter as it had only done 4000 miles.
If your in doubt get a genuine filter from your dealership , they are only about £8 iirc .
I'm assuming you mean a cold air feed to the front hole in the standard airbox ? Its oval and measures 80mm x 62mm so a 70mm caf should be fine .The second hole underneath the airbox measures 80mm x 54mm .
Fairy power spray for me . Or try this Blue rim and wheel cleaner from carwashnwax :

Also get yourself a good brush .

Eh , what ? Mine are single leds .
Leeshez , the drivers side one's a bit of a fiddly b*****d . But i improvised a bit . I found a screwdriver with 3 prongs on to hold the led and some cellotape lol , then it only took a couple of mins . Without it i probably wouldn't have managed tbh .
I have these , i think they match the xenons perfectly .

I'd stick with your 172 if the 182 hasn't got the cup packs tbh . When i went from my 172 to 182 with cup packs i did notice that it handled better and gripped the road better , obviosly part of that is down to the Michelin Exaltos which imo are better than the contis fitted on the 172 .
Citrus wash , Blitz sealant and the induro alloy wheel brush which feels like a good quality brush and looks like the prefect size for the 182 wheels :)
I never see the point of puttin a reserve on something . If she wants £150 minimum then start it a £150 ffs .Its still cheap compared to buying one new .
Have you got the alarm already or do you want to buy it and have it fitted ?
I've used a bloke who will travel anywhere , Toad approved with the insurance certificate . He's fitted my last 2 alarms , Toad 850 £300 fitted . Plus it uses the original Renault keyfob .
He's called Dennis if...
Maybe not all dealerships do ?? But i would imagine if the warranty work was gonna cost alot of money they would check your service book is up to date .
