hmmmm
where the hand brake is bolted to the floor there are two bolts towards the front that stick out slightly from the plastic moulding. After a drive these are actually quite warm to the touch, is this normal !?!
I assume its coz the exhaust runs down the middle before it splits in...
9 weeks on after my boot floor was crumpled in an accident my car is finally due to be finished and back together tomorrow, and i can finaly be rid of the sh1ty corsa hire car. :o)
I would just like to thank Renault for being complete mailto:tw@ts">tw@ts as usual
whats worse is that its...
Still no boot floor for my Clio (after the accident 8 weeks ago) and the insurers wants to take the hire car away sniff sniff :o(
Insurance of the bod that hit me now wants to give me £500 to go and buy a 2nd hand car to drive around while I wait for my car to be fixed, to save on hire cost...
5 weeks on since being rear ended in a crash im left with a 182 in bits in the garage and Renault refusing to confirm a date as to when a new boot floor can be delivered.
Direct line say they cant do anything as they have to use Renault parts so its down to Renault.
Renault UK say they...
After being rear-ended in a crash and getting a crumpled boot floor car was off to the garage for a repair.
Only for Renault to first send a boot floor with a wheel well (well it was at least for a Clio so not to bad for Renault I suppose) then for the correct one on order to go unavailable...
Someone drove into the back of me a few weeks ago and squished my 182 requiring a new boot floor.
Renault promptly (well for them anyway) sent a new boot floor to the garage but incorrectly sent one including a wheel well, so it has to go back.
Garage just phoned me up to say that Renault...
pulled up and was stationary at traffic lights yesterday, and a car piled straight in to the back of me :o( sob
crumpled bumper can now see about 5" of the exhausts, have to really slam boot to get it to close properly, and it no longer fits flush to the rear lights one of the exhaust pipes...
whats considered normal oil use on 182 ? I have only done around 3500 miles but when i checked the oil thismorning (in car not dipstick) it was down to 1 blob. :os
gonna have to book it in for a top up / get the oil from renault, but if it is using oil should they pay for it under warantee ...
just found out that my tyre has two nails in it and kwick fit cant repair it and everywhere will take two days to order a new exalto :o(
what do people use as a spare if anything ? Can you get 16" steel wheels if so where from, do you think the scrapy will have one?
Could i get away with...
thinking about trading in my 172 for a 182, and had a couple of questions
rang up for a quote (direct line) and they said having cup suspension would up my premium by an extra £50 and the front and rear spoiler would be an extra £180.
Do the cup packs count as mods, do you need to...
Phoned up broker the other day for a quote and they offered UK sourced 182 with cup susp, cup spoiler, cd autochanger and metalic paint for 12558 is this a good price ???
cheers
Well they do if i can fill the bottle up faster than its leaking out of the bottom.
Has anyone had probs with there washer bottles leaking on there (Mk2) 172s ? is it easy to replace looks a bit inaccessible and no doubt expensive to replace.

thanks
On their site they have Brand New UK 182 + Cup Pack and Suspension for just £12694 seems pretty good to me especially as carselect charge 12700 for base 182
thoughts ?
sigh.....
36K Major service £304
rear pads £119
leaking inner CV boot on drive shaft £182
tho i dont think i will be having the rattle fixed as its a new centre box on the exhaust and would cost another £400
rounds off a sh*te day quite nicely
182 from Renault, coz they are refusing to part exchange my Clio 172 because its an import, even tho its full UK spec.....swines!
hope Carselect dont feel the same
Car Select
Clio 182 12745 (uk sourced)
CD Autochanger 255.32
Cup Suspension 170.21
sadly they will only give me 7600 for my 02 172 :o(
total cost, Car (Racing Blue) + CD changer + Cup Suspension 13170 with finance at %7.5
does this sound a good deal ?
just about given up hope getting...
can anyone suggest some decent tyres ?
I dont drive my 172 hard, but my first set of Contis only lasted about 16K and by then they had worn well into that little wear bobble.
still got the same ones on the back as when i bought it, but up to 32K now and my second set of fronts have about had...
