Hello....
just set off on a 40 mile journey today in 05 182 with 13k on clock....car got up to temp as normal (rock solid half way up the temp gauge)....suddenly after 4-5 miles it started power disappeared then on again...ended up semi kangaroo'ing along at 40-50 mph..
look down at the...
My alarm on my 8 month old 182 goes off on its own every couple of weeks....its been to reno twice (dixons york), they think it needs a replacement interior alarm sensor which requires the roof lining pulling off to get at it!!!
Im sure this lot are bandits and Im thinking the roof will come...
hello,
2.5k on the clock and the 182 discs (front and back) are not as shiny/clean as i thought they would be....looks like the pads are only touching part of the disc (although seems to break alright)....jealous when i look at the shinyness of discs on other makes of new ish car...
maybe...
I know, i know....been too busy lately but some sun drew me out to clean her.....
imagine this...its like a bird has sha*t on the reno logo on the wheel that wont was off and wont scrape off with finger nail...might need to try metal polish but concerned about the rest of the paintwork.
if...
182 (2 mth old) developed a creak from the rear end when going round small roundabouts on saturday morning....
....saturday afternoon i completely lost the back end at low speed on a big roundabout...road was dry too.
it felt like a flat tyre but they are ok + shocks dont seem to be...
its sat in a driveway in a quite cul-de-sac...
mind you, its doing that 3-4 beeps thing when i lock the thing within 5 secs of turning off the engine...reckon reno need to sort out both things.
might hop in a demo 182 up there and see if the exhaust sounds as rattley as mine...i see a list...
its funny this exhaust.....had the 182 12 days now from new and cant get used to the exhaust note/rattles....
between 2.5k and 5k (not been over 5k yet) it has a bloody nasty rattle which im finding hard to call an exhaust note...how do i tell if something is knackered? not too sure what the...
same thing here on new 182...full lock right at 1-5mph and i feel a small click/clunk through the clutch peddle...
...figure if its driving ok then will leave it....dont want to have reno wreck it until ive got a few warrenty issues
add another one to the list....ive done 300 miles and since day 1 mine has had a death rattle at around 2.5k rpm.
was beginning to thing she needed her first trip back to reno
sometimes when i lock the doors on my new 182 with the key fob the indicators flash and no sound.....sometimes it makes 2 beeps when i lock them aswell...
....not causing any problems just trying to find a reason for it happening.
cant find anything in the manual...
p.s. 210 miles in and...
sorry no photos yet...got no camera....will post when my dad does the honours....off for a spin now
i would stick with this cabassa thing if I could but I cant handle 1 cd at a time....changer is an option but seems daft when MP3 is out there...
dont want the dash screwed up though...no...
182, cupd, silver.....1 day old now, 150 miles travelled....great news
I am shocked at how stable she is at high speed...very good...and no rattles yet....
she has impressed a lot of people in 24 hours round here
just need to work out the a/c, speed limiter, cruise now..
what a lot of...
picking the silver 182 next week and what to make sure it is 100% before i take it off the dealers hands....
anybody any ideas on common problems with cars from new that I might be able to spot before signing.
thanks
I live 2 minutes away from Dixon Reno York and I too have had a number of run-ins with 1 particular salemans there...he is a complete to*sser.
All I wanted was a test drive and to see if he could get anywhere lloyds carselect price....and all get is some rubbish about the demo car being...
id love to test drive one (even though 182 already ordered)...but none to be found in the area (York)....contacted renault and they agreed....quite poor really
