    Red V6 - Haywards Medway

    Just took the 182 in for some work at Haywards Renault (Medway) and spotted a nice red V6 with a V6 *** plate there. Thought the 182 was cramped with a baby seet in but looked round this one and it also had a baby seat. Would love to see the childs face as that accelerates. Neil

    182 8th original exhaust, losing will to live!

    Hi I'm on my 8th exhaust (or parts of) on my 05 182. The thing rattles like mad when idling, sounds like a Matiz when I accelerate and basically doesn't sound like a 180+ bhp clio should sound. Renault CS have been very good, chucked in a 24k service for free due to the massive amount of...
