Hi all, Im as quick as anyone at complaining when things are bad (like my first service at Bridges Renault in Reading, please dont ever go there is was terrible!!!!). So, i thought id let everyone know that my second service at Theale Renault in Berkshire was brilliant! £220 for a 24k...

ahaaaaaaaa :D Decisions decisions!! At the risk of being needy........... Do any of you know brands of Sub/amp to go for or to avoid? I dont want to go over £250 total. Is this a reasonabel budget?

So, with a £250 budget you'd go for new speakers and an amp rather than a sub and an amp. Cool, Ill look into that option. I have to say, when the guy told me that "orion" were "West Coast Custom" branded I did worry that I was paying for a name.......

Hi All, Ive got a Alpine 9850i in my 54reg 182 and i mostly listen to my ipod through it. I took advice from a local store today about "the next steps" to upgrading my system. HE sugested leaving the existing speakers in but adding a 10" sub made by Orion and also adding an Orion Amp. All this...

Cool, thanks guys. Looks like Im going to be calling a dealer in the am. At least now it will sound like i know what im talking about so i might not get totally lied to...... thank you

Hi All, Ive got a 54 reg 182 and this morning the revs died at a roundabout and the car would not start again. 5 mins later it did start and was ok, briefly....... But then the "idle revs" went up to about 2000 and the Water Temp Guage dropped to the floor. When I accelerated the car hated it...

£285 for my 182, I must live in a very safe area...... (its not cos Im old, 31, and I have 7 years ncb........ :) ). Do have 3 points though. got mine through Adrian Flux (with a bit of haggling) Groover

im just about to renew with Aidrian Flux, ive phoned round and they are cheapest by miles! Im old though.... 30 yrs old, 7yrs ncb, 3 points sp40 - £400 fully comp Ive been with them for years and i find they are always good to deal with, good luck finding the best quote, Groover

cool, thanks for that trogg, so does that mean that ive had it at least till those new leads are released then?

hi all, i got an Alpine CDE 9850ri fitted two days ago (it sounds great and is very easy to use!) but im told by the fitter that unfortunately its "Impossible" to get the stalk controls working on my 54 reg Clio 182. I find this hard to believe. Does anyone know anywhere good either in London...

exactly,im going to take it back in tomorrow....... looking forward to them taking it out and replacing it with a dension thingy with no arguments at all.......... wonder if im being a bit hopeful there?

Hi All, I went to purchase a way to get my ipod playing through my standard stereo (clio 182, 54 reg) today, i said that I understood that a Denision solution was the way forward but I was told that the new "kenwood kos-a200" was the way to go as the system would be a cable so good sound...

ok, sounds like all should be ok then (So now I have the Porsche oil just need the engine, body and dodgy dress sense now and Ill be a porshe owner :)

Morning, Just picked up my 182 from its 12,000 mile service and the main dealer (Bridges of Reading) had put 10:40 semi synth oil in. I questioned this, told them it should be 5:40 and the dealer disagreed. So we went inside so he could look it up and show me that I was wrong. I wasnt :D...

Just wanted to say a quick thank you to the forum! My 182 is booked in for its first 12,000 mile service on Monday at Bridges in Reading. They had quoted me £270 last week when i booked it in. I checked prices for services on this site today and found out that £270 is totally over the top...

On that note, is there any (relatively) painless way to lower the seats that extra couple of inches? Or are new seats the only way forward? Cheers Groover

wow, that was easy! And quicker than a 182 with the stig on board! Many thanks

Hi all, Ive renently picked up a 182 second hand from a dealer, it has a jack in the boot nicely tucked and secured in but I cant find the tyre foam puncture kit anywhere? Should it come with the car? What do I need to buy? Where can I get it? Anything else I should know?? Many thanks Groover

Is it possible to get a shark fin type thing that BMWs have and some mini's have? Or is that very hopeful?

I just ordered some from here a few days ago>> http://www.carmats4u.com/ plain black with "182" in silver on the drivers side but you can pretty much choose colours and text as you want. Ill let you know what they are like when they arrive.

Hi all, A friend of mine who has a bmw swears that he gets worse fuel economy when he used his cruise control? Would this be true? Also, has anyone had any near misses with CC? This is my first car with it and I tend not to use it incase I realax too much and crash!? Am I being daft...

cool, fair enough. From my looking round I think Im going to get some from here > http://www.carmats4u.com/ just black with "182" in silver or gray I think. Should be about £40. Fingers crossed they will look good and fit right! :D

I had a similar(ish) thing happen to me a while back. A disagreement at a roundabout (although no contact was made)then the nutter following me and overtaking etc. He then started to follow me home, far too close, lights flashing etc (even though I slowed to allow him to overtake safely, and I...

I have a £200 excess on mine. Ive never had to put a claim through Aid Flux but whenever I change a car or anything like that or add a driver etc they are sooo quick and professional Ive stayed with them.

Ive been with Adrian Flux for a few years now and they are very good! Always very easy to deal with and highly competitive rates. I shop round every year, find the best quote then ask them to beat it, and they do. :approve:

Hi All, I just picked up my new (well nearly new)black 182 at the weekend :D and it has no mats :dapprove: ! Renault want a fortune for pretty plain ones, does anyone have any ideas where I can get good quality ones that definately fit and are either, pretty plain, or with a Renaultsport or 182...
