Well I cannot garantee the service from them but Ive never paid for any extra work even when they didnt want to give me the car keys back as my brakes were 90%+ worn at the service. Ive never realy trust any dealership Im only after the stamp, cheap prices a courtesy car and a wash (it always...

Anything can be improved on. Coilovers would be IMO the way to go. There expensive (say £6650 + 40~90 fitment) but much better than any other mods if you realy drive your car a lot.

Check the usualy things rust shouldnt be an issue as most proble areas are plastic. Checks shocks springs Mot accurate etc. Bar crashes and the famopus problems I wouldnt worry just amke sure to take account of the 72k mile service when they change the belts which is costly make sure it...

No. 5 yrs is a long time. All these finace deals look good till you get 3 yr olde car with 2 yrs to go and want a chnage and you have to pay to get rid of your finacne car. Get a 1 ~2 yr old 178 for £8k say and get a 3 yr finacne loan for about £250. Ok is £20 extra a month but after 3 yrs...

Depends how much but suspension would be my choice.

Try Renault Chester there quite good for prices apparently although I never pushed them for money when test driving a 182. Best idea is to go in and when there saying how much list price is just say I can buy one for £12k with Cup pack are you willing to match. Whatever they say (unless they...

Its illegal to send airbags though the post.

How about if we all drive round in the buff?

Ford Pump Racing. There were £20k new I think absolutly amazing handling a bit sddhot in the HP department I belive compaired to other cars.

Wasnt the least powerful one there, I think I can reasonably safely claim that prize. How big are the vids though? Im on 56k and get disconnected after 10 meg and that takes forever.

I have to say Im not keep on cars looks to much handling, power and light weight are my ideas for a car for me. But Id buy a 150 hp TT any day.

Seems like youve got a foot as heavy as mine. On the 1.2 16V courtesy cars Ive had I got about 30~33mpg on the long run to work and about 20 when booting it. Owners MPG depends so much on how they drive some owners get 50mpg some get 30. I wouldnt worry to much the 17s arnt doing anyhting...

Not all of us can find 172 for that price. Lowest price Mk1 172s Ive ever seen is £5k on autotrader. Mk2 are another 2k.

Id buy it no problem I wouldnt pay that sort of money for a 182 but a V6 even if its a few yrs old is well worth it.

The fuel filters under the bonnet on the passengers side by the radiator. Pm me your email address and Ill send you the files on the dci engine where bits are and how to change them. Not many DCi onwers on the site so most problmes are from Renault techs and the dci is a good engine, if it...

Acid etching. Bit to extreme particularrly as your possible weekening the structure and the gains would be minimal.

A lot of people have had trouble installing them. Ive written a guide on troublshooting and instaling themhttp://sfnc.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/james/dialogy.htm here. You can buy them cheaper than that though Ive PM you though.

Ive not sorted anything yet. Even the car being taken there is under review at the moment.

Just run the car on some decient fule not the cheapest stuff from some back street garage. Alos when warm ever now and again floor it and run the engine up near the limiter to clean out any dirt in the system. The problem would seem to be down to cheap fuel causing problems. Changing the...

I hate carbon fibre as well but I supposer a carbon fibre key fob would be good.

They might go. Some are still going strong at 140k other last 50k. Id guess its down to the fuel used cheap supermarket etc stuff is probably to blame for injectors failing.

Speaker grills are ~£15+ vat (thats for both you cannot buy them seperate) Door handles are ~£20 each plus VAT. Tell them yuor trae should get you some money off.

The dci 80 is more economical it seems, maybe due to the longer ratios Im not sure.

Side airbags need a 1.8 ~ 4 ohm resister

I have to say I do drive hard and can see why people get 50mpg out of 1.2s as it is easy but on the same ground a dci should be about 50% more economical. However the saving depends how you drive and the milage you do. If Id have driven more carefully in my dci vs 1.2 the saving wouldnt be as...

There are diffferent cd changers Renault sell there the factory ones as fitted to 172/182 when they were standard etc. Then theres the ones the dealers buy and fit when you opt for them when you buy a dynamique etc. Since dealers dont want to pay Renault and due to a few laws they have the...

Ive got the 65 dci and just like all diesels it gives more than it claime it seem to be abouy 70hp the 80dci gives about 85hp. Its a good little car its quicker in normal driving than a 1.2 probably quicker than a 1.4 in normal drivng if you push the revs though it would be about as quick as a...

Thats what Ive been thinking that they should last for 100k+ ie longer than the body and I do run on Shell etc fuel. Im not sure if it is the cheap diesel which causes problems if it is then Im safe. When you say the fuel filters chnaged often how often do you think is acceptable? As for...

Very easy to install, just stick the cd chanager under the seat and hide the wiring round to the back of the dash etc then remove the head unit and plug the cd changer in and it will work. Renault charge £300 I think. Unless you can find a Clio one for sale on a forum etc you wont be able to...

You cannot get Cup suspension on imports, its a UK only thing.
