Just wanted to say what a cracking looking car they are. I have always prefered the new shape clio over the old to look at but have recently seen a black and a blue 197 and they both looked awesome.
Now if only it had the 225 enigne in then I would have ordered one!
can anyone do me an HPI Check? Also is it possible to find out who the previous owners were as I think the car was a demonstrator?
If so let me know and Ill Pm you the no plate
Well after 2 and a half years of ownership I sold my 182 today (only put it on autotrader last night). The couple who bought it were very nice and I hope they enjoy it as much as I have. I got £8750 for it and it was a 54 plate with 12k on the clock.
There's a VX220 Turbo with my name on it...
Driving home from work today in the Cooper S (Electric Blue) and saw two 197's the first was a blue one in Handsworth near the Shell petrol station and the second was a red one in woodhouse both going the opposite way to me.
Anyone on here? Must admit both 197's looked amazing!
I have got a problem with my cruise control on the 182. Basically when I switch the engine on and press the button the little green symbol comes on and it works fine but after I stop using it (say to break for traffic or something) then the bloody thing stops working. I can mess about with the...
Went for a test drive today of a black 197.
Overall I thought it was a fantastic car, better looking, more comfortable, seats were very good, better built, exhaust note sounded better, nicer to drive and more refined than the 182.
My only concerns were that yes it was quick but i didnt...
Just bought the magazine and the road test of the 197 is in. Overall it gets a very good review 4.5 stars out of five.
going for it they say fabulous chassis, comfort, quality & design
against it they say pace, steering feel and not cheap.
Performance data: 0-60 6.9 & 0-100 18.7

I have recently purchased some new door sill protectors for my car as the drivers side one had a mark on it, however when i have took them off the car I have cleaned them and plished them up and the marks have come off. So as they are in decent condition I thought I would see if anyone wanted...
A few days ago I put my 182 in the garage and accidentally left the lights on. (Whilst driving home that day, a stone hit my window and it looked like it had left a little mark, I forgot to look at the windscreen before I put the car in the garage, so as its dark in there put all my lights on to...
I live in Sheffield and I dont usually see many Renaultsport Clios but today at about 14:45 on the A57 between Worksop and Sheffield I saw three!
Firstly there was an arctic blue 182 right in front of me, then coming the other way there was a 172 cup and further on I saw a black 172 at the...
Just been to the Renualt Dealer (Reg Vardy Rotherham) to sort a few things out. Firstly I have a little dent on the passenger door no bigger than a 5 pence piece and they said it would cost about £40 to repair which I thought was quite good. Secondly I had a few warranty issues, I have a little...
When you open your door on the 182 there is a plaque that says renaultsport on it, does anyone know how much they cost to buy? part number? and if they are easy to fit remove and fit yourself?
I ask this becuase one of mine is scuffed a bit and I would like to replace it
I have had my 182 a year now and love it too bits but like all car enthuiasts Im always looking at other cars.
Over the last few weeks I have took a huge liking to the V6 (255 verison)
What I want to know is the people who have taken this move whether they think its worth it or not, why...
As above but which one do you think would win down the quarter mile strip?
Also has anyone any experience of other hot hatches coming up against each other and results, be particular interested in peoples results in the V6 and 182
Well, I have nearly had my 182 (arctic blue, with both cup packs) for a year now so I thought I would post my comments about it.
Good:
5k kick and the performance
The handling and how sturdy it feels on the road
All the little extras
Still think the car looks brilliant, I know a lot of...
Where can you get the ELF 5w40 excellium LDX oil from for the 182? I went into Halfords today and they didn’t have any and then I have had a look around on the internet but can’t seem to find anyone selling it. I don’t fancy getting it from Renault as I don’t enjoy being ripped of! Any ideas...
Spotted a trophy on the A57 between Worksop and Sheffield, i was in my arctic blue 182, anyone on here?
Looked very nice i must admit, so much better than in the photos

0-60 6.49
0-100 16.74

I was in Worksop on saturday and opposite me at the lights was a V6 255 with a personal number plate VEE 6, anyone in here?
I was in an arctic blue 182 with cup packs
Out of curiosity as anyone had the K-tec turbo fitted to their 172/182a and if so what does it goes like?

My 182 (both cup bits) is on a 54 plate (2004) with 4k miles on it.
I emailed a dealer about part exchange on a Audi S3 to see how much they would offer and they said "if the car is as new then we can give you £8,000
now i know Renault dont hold their value that well but thats a joke, i was...
