At least they werent speeding...looked slow as s**te tbh the pair of them tbh lol

As above. 8.30pm last night. Dont think you saw me though. tut tut :rasp:

They are on the mk2 ph1/mk1 172's

The car in the opening post....has that got a non sport steering wheel fitted?

Spring hasnt snapped has it?

I see Blow is top of the listings page ;)

Majority of bikes >250 would rape a Clio. End. Most proper bikes make a lambo or ferrari look slow.

Nah some 400's with with a pillion will struggle with a 172/182. Believe it or not its upto you. Im not saying all just some. Depends on gearing etc.

Agreed. I think Renault have done well with the mk2 to cater for the majority of tastes.

Ive now owned my 182 for approx 15-16months. If i had to buy it again, hand on heart the only difference for me would have been i would have bought one with cup spoiler pack and recaros. Sure Trophies are the pincacle of the mk2 sport range however i dont like the colour. lol. Cup i wouldnt...

Ahhhh..... Will have to try adding my mum on again. Added her and my nan as named drivers years ago and halved my insurance on my old 1.2 Adding my gf whos younger than me and been driving less than me also knocks £100 or so off normally lol. Ive only got 3 yrs ncb, been driving 5 years (Drove...

Duno how you do it. Im 23, 0 crashes, 0 points and paying £800 on my 182. I also live in an area where my car would be right at the bottom of the pecking order for a car thief compared to some of the other cars around.

Nah at 26 i would imagine you would be fine mate providing you havent got a silly amount of claims or points on your license :)

One thing to bare in mind if your a younger driver (21 or there abouts) is insurance on the cup may be trickier. Alot of companies dont want to touch them due to the lack of abs etc.

Buy halfords blades again if you can get hold of a trade car. I got wipers for my Clio last week for £6.50ish. Got around £10 of the normal price. Almost disposable at that price

Pretty sure MarkCup wears driving gloves.....

I would imagine its just as reliable as a genuine 1*2. Same engine, same suspension etc. Cant see the point personally when mk1 172's can be had for £2.5kish

I let the gf drive my 182. At the end of the day its only a small french hatch back with a bit of poke its hardly a supercar. She knows i look after my cars meticulasly and she treats it with respect but that would be the same with any car i own. The 182 is far from special tbh.

I think you have to press the button on the bottom of the steering wheel stalk. If you look in your manual it should tell you.

^ Seller has a s**t name tbh ;)

Cant a new shape m3 be had for around £36k?

£120 supplied sounds a little cheap unless your having the cambelt changed at the same time? I paid £120 for a genuine dephaser pulley from Renault. Which Birchdown fitted when doing my cambelt change. If you have the dephaser pulley changed you also need a new cambelt and auxbelt.

Hi, I think ive blown one of my rear speakers as its flapping about at moderate volume so its time to replace both the rear speakers. My car just has the standard Renault Cabesse unit as fitted to the 182's. My car is distinctly lacking in bass compared to my girlfriends Astra (allbeit that...

Hi Guys, As title really, does anyone here have a Tesco Warranty? Speciffically the Finest one. If so have you claimed and if so how did you rate the service you've received. I think thinks such as clutch and suspension struts etc are covered. Does that look right to you guys...

Sounds like the repairs are cheap ones to me mate. £30 tops for repairs? Contact CES UK for exhaust mounts...Around £10 when i bought mine.

Yeah. Very normal. The main reason we left them tbh. Throttling times varied for us anything from 4pm - 1am really. Were now with 02 broadband. We only pay £9 a month as i have a phone contract with them (Circa £15 if you dont have a phone) for that you get 20mbit, unlimited downloads and ive...

Have a read through this mate - http://www.tipandtrick.net/2008/permanently-turn-off-and-disable-64-bit-x64-windows-vista-forced-driver-signature-signing-with-readydriver-plus/ Theres a link to download ready driver and brief guide on the installation of it and what exactly it does. It enabled...

Are you using vista 64bit or 32bit? If using 64bit you need to download a program called ready driver which will allow you to install the driver succesfully. It knackered me up for a while

:S Dont get this rust thing at all tbh. Trying too hard in my opinion

Tbh id say my 182s been reliable but i do get it serviced regularly and i keep ontop of it myself by doing preventitive maintenance as and when i think its required.
