    I have recently experienced the 182 engine knocking on my 182 after 4K motor as detailed in the very large 6 page thread i.e. knocking that occurs at low speed in 1st and 2nd when backing off the gas. Took the car in to my local Renault dealer and replicated the problem with the lad from the...

    Renault F1

    I got an interview with Renault F1 a few years back for a job as a Design Engineer. Unfortunately, I could not go to the interview due to other commitments. I would have been good to have a tour of their factory, but I dont know whether I would have been up to the mark with regards to F1...

    Just bought a 182

    didnt say whether it was import ex pre reg car or not. Ive seen them new around the 12K mark new including cup packs Vs 12.5-13K ish for new UK car non pre reg depending on if it was main dealer or broker. Depreciation is always going to be rife when there are a lot of imports about the 12K...

    Would you buy a clio 225 if it came out

    I was thinking about this today, if when the new Renaultsport Clio came out in 2006 it was actually a clio 225 i.e. it had the meggy turbo lump in it. I know this has been denied by Renault as not going to happen as another 20 bhp or so could probably be eeked out of the n/a F4R lump, but think...

    182 - 1st gear traction

    this reply is to a comment made on page 1: I got a new 182 + cup packs in Nov 04. After some B road blasts, where it felt very very skittish, and nearly losing it on a roundabout I decided to check the tyre pressures. Needless to say these were over 40psi on all 4 corners. Once back down...

    CLIO 172 // CUP OWNERS

    fuel guage/trip accuracy

    I find the computer accurate to about 1 litre over a full tank of petrol (50 litres). The gauge on the other hand reads between 1 and 2 gallons out i.e. the gauge is past the red i.e. showing empty, when the computer says the car has used 9 gallons

    Pulling out of 182 order - advice needed

    Only £400 deposit but its enough to make you think twice, hence the reason for having it I suppose. On the colour front its black gold with cup packs for £13.5 from a Reno dealer and will be registered to me as first owner and 54 reg. I suppose as Toypop said someone may take over the order...

    whats everyones 182’s insurance costing

    not what the girl at DL said. If not declared (i assume she thought the cup packs were mods) then the policy is null and void. The guy at DL declared the options so they will apear on the policy, but did not charge for the privelege. Is this right having them on the policy if they are in...

    in response to Tomclio182 and everyone else When purchasing my 182 the Salesman took me to the Parts Desk to see how much a proper spare was when I expressed concern that it hadnt got one. I think I may have been the first person he had dealt with to have looked into the practicalities of...
