Wow, really just wow. I picked her up yesterday and I havent stopped finding excuses to go driving around in her yet! I think the missus is even taking a shine to it! I had a grin as big as the cheshire cat on my face as I drove away from the dealership yesterday im my stunning new cup 182...

Took mine out on a test run for about an hour before I brought it.

Just phoned up tesco to swap my insurance over on the 19th to the 182 and was quoted £528 fully comp, 24, bad postcode, 6 years NCD.

Sorry to hear that mate, there really are some idiots about today. Just the other day a bunch of chavs maybe only 17 or 18 pulled out from my left on a roundabout in a white fiesta while I was half way across it, then they started shouting at me learn to drive? I just wonder how some of them get...

Well, Im aware it comes with clear side repeaters, however i have a set sat here with the silver bulbs that will go on the car hence why it already says brought. I know that the list is long and full of external mods. But as always with me the mods that will get done first are the preformance...

Ah! knew there was something sus about them, is it possible to colour match or can I buy the paint directly from renault? 2 days to go!!

Well I just ordered the subframes and they should arrive friday according to demon-tweaks, £62.40 inc vat so not bad :).

Hey guys, Never really noticed the shadows and reflections on that pic, does look a tad odd. Any idea why they would do that sort of thing? Picture came from the dealers website and the page has now gone (yay i really do own it!). Also I need a set of subframes for it now (that I forgot to...

Thanks guys, just ordered a new set of fire red corbeau forza bucket seats with sparco harness' online for the front aswell! Looks like the missus will have to wait for her new pony now hehe.

I was told by the dealership that it has been run on optimax since new by the previous owner, My pockets should been just deep enough to keep her and me happy at the same time! The missus will just have to wait her turn!

Cheers, The 1.4RT is quite nippy but really is nothing when compared to a 182, I can see hours and hours of cautious driving ahead :)

Well, I sold the clio today, got a tidy grand total of £1150, So I went down to the local reg-vardy dealership where I had seen the car I wanted sitting on the forecourt. Put the deposit down and am going to pick her up on Friday. Very happy to say I am now the owner of a CUP182, 12k on the...

Hey, quick update... Ive checked the thermostat and it is working fine, I replace the fan switch but the fan is still not kicking in? Also I am now getting no heating in the car and there is a light mist coming out of the exhaust. The radiator hose at the top is cool but the one at the bottom...

Hello, Welcome to CS! If you let the car idle and the gearstick is wobbling very slightly, then when you tap the throttle it moves back the chances are your rear engine mount is going or gone.

Providing the connections for the airbag system are the same, from memory i belive they are on the F1 and F2 you should have no problems. Pull the fuse on the airbag system before you start and replace when you are done.

Hello, Umm silly question but was it blue? Just seen this post and remember passing a 172 while undertaking (i know) on the M4 about 6 or 7 days ago just before the slough junction with a missing fule cap? I only recall it because i said to myself "hurry up boys daddy wants his car back" as...

Your looking at around a 10/11BHP gain.

Find a big hill, turn off your ignition, hey presto! Good luck getting back up the hill though :)

Hello, Sounds like you may have a loose gear linkage, the noise would come from directly under the gearstick around 4-5inchs forward and would sound like a penny in a small metal cup being shaken.

Hi, Just to offer some help with this. When you replace the ball-joint you WILL need to replace the nuts that you take off. This is simply because they will either be nylocks or serrated hex lock nuts, neither of which should ever be reused as they would pose a serious safety risk. Also if...

Hi, I have heard that K-TEC do the direct replacement V6 carbon air intake pods, however I cannot see them anywhere on the website. I can get the origional pods carbon skinned for £120 each but I was just wondering if anyone knew anything about the direct replacement ones and where they are...

Hopefully you guys/gals can help! I have a MK1 1991 (J) with a P reg 1.4RN engine, the other day whilst coming home from work I noticed the temperature needle was creeping its way up the gauge. It usually sits just above half way but it was just over the 3/4 mark when I pulled onto my drive...
