Thanks for the reply. I was looking at Alpine units, I'm also quite tempted by Pioneer. In fact Argos have one priced at £100 currently which looks like it has a lot of features for the money.

I'm looking to get a aftermarket head unit for my Clio 182. Firstly, what do I need to fit it? Do I need any sort of removal pins for the current unit? Cable adapter to plumb in the existing cables to new unit? I'm looking to get a head unit that's iPod compatible via USB, and has Bluetooth for...

I know, but you were talking about refusing to buy a car that's priced 25% above book. I'm just saying yes some cars are over proved, just don't expect to be able to buy a car for book money.

Do bare in mind glass's guide book price is a trade price. Ie the price a dealer would give for a car to then retail it at profit. Don't expect to be able to buy a car yourself for glass's trade price.

Not really worth it I know, but just pointing out it's possible. Sounds like the seller is happy to wait.

All sounds a bit convoluted... You can't report it to the Police, as it's a civil matter. If an agreement was made between the buyer and seller, then it's between them alone. You can make a county court summons, or try pursue things through a solicitor if you think you have a strong case, but...

This is the steering wheel. Looks like it's been reupholstered to me.

That might be it. I'll post a photo of it when I get it.

Oh and one good thing about being an import. It's not fitted with a toffee steering wheel, it's a nice perforated leather job.

Well, agreed to buy the 182. Loads of paper work with it, had belts and VVT pulley done in 2011, a new clutch, and poly bushes fitted. The guys even agreed to service it for me. Collecting the car tomorrow

I did wonder if it was an import. Makes no difference to me. I know Motorpoint used to sell a lot of import 172/182's, they were brand new with delivery mileage. Not sure where they came from though.

Cheers for the help guys. I can see talk of cup packs is a fiery topic here! The car is HPI clear, that was the first thing I did. Will give the guy a shout to see if he still has it.

Not sure about the dephaser... Not even sure what that is.

Hi guys, I'm new here. Looking to buy myself a 182 very soon. I've seen one locally, it's a 2005 05, 68000 miles, fsh with belts and water pump done at 55k, silver, 4 owners, in tidy condition. Will come with a new mot and 6 months tax. Looks to have the cup chassis, but not the cup spoiler...
