^^^^ If you read the whole thread you'll see i've already mentioned Cypriot and Dutch imports don't carry the 3 year warranty .Maybe the dealer didn't do a check . If you don't believe me phone Ren cust services .
Use fine wet n dry 1500 or 2000 grit , let the wet n dry do the work , minimal pressure applied then use the scratch X .

Agree they do look slightly darker , might be something to do with the white perforations on the 182 giving that appearance , compared to the same colour perforations on the 172 , but who really gives a fcuk anyway .
^^^^ Couldn't agree more. It always pays to shop around ;)
Take the meggy 225 , around £20,000 for the UK model , imports can be had for just under £15,000 doesn't take Carol Vorderman to work out which is the better option even if the resale value would be less for the import ( which i know...
You only need to them if they ask . As to the resale value i sold my imported ff172 on autotrader for the same price as UK models with similar age / mileage . Saved money on the initial purchase and didn't lose any money on the resale value .
That'll ding dang do for me ;)
Just a note...

Just get your second hard drive and caddy and use Norton ghost to transfer all the data onto your hard drive .
I used it once a few years ago so there might be better programs out there now to do it .
Nezza .Depending on the date the car came into the country and was sold will depend on how much of the warranty is left .
As above phone Ren cus services .
The seats are the same colour , seat belts are silver . You have the cruise control , speed limiter button and esp on/off button...
^^^^ Your wrong mate . Imports get the same 3 year warranty and same 3 years AA assistance as UK models unless the car was from imported New from Holland or was destined for Cyprus .
When you buy an import phone Renault UK customer service on .
Tel 08000 723372 .
Give them the cars...
^^^^ I got £5900 for my mk2 172 51 plate with 48k on the clock in February this year , on Autotrader .You'll always get less if you px a car , selling private is the best way if you want what a car is really worth .
Tut tut . Driving and eating , not in full control of your car then , not good . Just as bad as being on your mobile or some bird doing her makeup while on the move :eek:
I don't think that the drivers door has a lock on it on any of the 182's ( i might be wrong ) .
Imports don't have the standard alarms and no locking wheel nuts . Nothing wrong with imports anyway , they are made in the same factory , same spec etc ... except what i have stated . And before...
FF = Full Fat . All the toys , xenon headlights , leather / alcantara interior , more powerful headunit ( i think ? ), climate control /AC , .
Cup packs are slightly lower and stiffer suspension , anthracite wheels instead of silver , front spoiler , different rear spoiler .
Probably...
Cup packs are 1. front and rear spoiler 2. slightly lower and stiffer suspension with anthracite wheels instead of the silver wheels .
Most people seem to have both fitted rather than just one .
Your gonna struggle gettin a new one now . I searched all over the UK when i bougt mine new in February , best bet would be to look at car supermarkets on the internet but i think you'll be lucky to find a new one now tbh .
^^^^ Weird one that , if nothing was workin the i could understand that , but not to have the fuel left one not workin , i don't know . I'm guessin that it must be a sensor not working ??
4 lines ?? Did it come up with the " oil ok " message ? What happens when you press the button on the end of the stalk to scroll through the trip computer ?
Cup packs all the way for me , my ff 182 with cup packs handles hell of alot better than my old 172 ff .Some of it might be due to the slightly wider tyres and the tyres themselves , make sure they've got the exaltos on , excellent grip :)
Try and keep the area you wet n dry minimal , obviously if the area to sand is only very small i.e. a small stone chip the surrounding area will be sanded as well . Patience is the key word when layering the paint and sanding .I'd leave it a couple of days after touching up before sanding .
Sounds like its rusted inside . They normally just slide out and are greased inside . Brute for like ya say , then give it a good rub down with some emery cloth and clean up the inside where it slides into then pack with grease .
