When I bought my 182 last year I was insured with Elephant. They insisted on calling my 182 with cup packs modified, and charged me extra because I had the cup packs.
When my renewal was due I tried a few different insurance companies for quotes. Elephant and Sainsbury's came out at about the...
Regarding my earlier comment on the engine mount.... It was in on Mon/Tue and the engine mount was "fixed". Actually the knocking when backing off the accelerator seems to be sorted, but the squeak when driving off my drive still seems to be there! So maybe the squeak isn't the engine mount...
Mine had the squeaking when going over a bump as well... It was fixed yesterday - it was the engine mount. It also caused a knocking sound when I accelerated in 1st/2nd and then suddenly let go of the accelerator.
Mine rattles from above the centre console, behind the side panel on the rear drivers side, front drivers side vent. It's been in today, and the dealer has "fixed" them all by refitting some of the panels and putting foam behind others. I drove out of the dealership, and within 100 yards I could...
My CD player did get a CD stuck in it a few months ago, and it did eventually eject with persistent pressing of the eject button. This time, though, it's really refusing. It's been stuck in there since Monday, and no matter what I try it won't come out! It seems to be quite a common problem - I...
I've got exactly the same problem with my 182 CD player. Renault are refusing to replace it as well... they'll only send it off for repair which I'm not very happy about.
As I queued to walk through the gate I saw a camera crew interviewing someone. They asked him what hed come to see. Rather amusingly he said hed come to see the Renaults! :D
I had exactly the same problem. Elephant just wouldnt accept that it wasnt modified. I got a quote from Sainsburys which was a bit cheaper, and I also got written confirmation from them which says they dont class the cup packs as modifications. I also found that Sainsburys will cover you on a...
Mines a bit dodgy too... Its fine most of the time, but occasionally Ill get a split second glitch. I get a hiss when I spray my rear screen and to be honest I cant make my mind up if its coming from the speakers, or just the sound of the water being pumped through the pipe at pressure.
Ive got mixed feelings about my 182 in snow/ice. Ive noticed before that the ABS seems a bit too keen to kick in at times. Theres a T-junction near where I live, and it briefly kicks in every time I brake there. My last car was a mark 2 MR2 and the ABS only ever kicked in briefly in snow/ice...
I bought a 182 with both Cup packs in October, and I was already insured with Elephant. I transfered my insurance over to the 182, and at the time told them about the Cup packs. They insisted they were modifications (and charged me more because of this).
My insurance is due for renewal on...
