No, once warmed up its fine, I was really chucking it around afterwards and nothing, onnly when cold for litrally a minute...

Nothing else effects the noise, just stops after a minute or so. Oil is from Renaults last service...

Knocking is like a noise, cant feel it through the car. Speeds up with speed of car, and only happens from cold, then stops after a minute or two.

So you reckon it just needs an oil change? So once warmed through it can be driven hard?

Forgot to mention it has come out of the blue and has only been happening for the last 3 weeks, and otherwise drives fine...

Hiya, Quick question which maybe someone else has had here before, tried searching but couldn't find anything. When I start my 182 from cold and head off there is a knocking sound (incraeses with speed) which lasts for a minute or so and then stops, and doesnt come back. Its coming from the...

I think that Admiral and Bell are the same company, any experiences with either of these?

I have a choice between Bell and Admiral for my renewal (both cheapest bar Direct Line who I was with but found bad), does anyone have experience with any of these guys? (ie claims). Thanks, Alex

A 05 182 which incidendtly is falling apart, windscreen seal, light washers and so on... havn't had time to go to a dealer but hope to in the next few months and they can take care of it all. Are they helpfull like this?

Hi, I've been told a few times by other dirvers that my headlights are way too bright, like on full beams bright. Whenever I look they seem fine, which has got me thinking that it might be the auto levelling thing is broken and they roll up and down randomly. A bloke in a 911 suggested this...

Hahaha... thanks guys. The fan still isn't working for a few minutes when I switch the aircon on, it just does nothing for a while then works.

I wasn't touching the throttle?

Thanks for the advice, never heard it before and when it didnt stop was a bit worried. The reason I was in there in the first place as air con fan isn't working for a few minutes when the car is on...

Yeah that noise, goes away with engine on but carries on with ignition on. Is this something bad?

Is that normal then?

Hi, My 182 is making a buzzing sound, coming from the engine bay with the ignition on but not engine running, then stops with the engining on, is this normal? Thanks, Alex

22mpg in my 182! Thats central london for you guys, when I go out for a drive it actualy goes up!

Nope, its definately on (as in the lights off). TC too, it has bassicaly never activately, and I have been pretty sideways.

Yeah, I know how it works and how to tell when its on, what im saying is it never activates, is this common or is it poss not working or just slow?

Is spinning them for 4 seconds enough? Done that before, still nothing.

Hi guys, I have been wondering about the TC and ESP on my 182, which has never activated during my first 9 months of ownership. I have been pretty much sideways a few times, and have spun the wheels briefly on occoasion 1st in the when) and never felt or or seen the light some on for either...

I hit a curb hard and an airbag went off, thats wierd that this ones didn't go off?

Nice one guys- you've just saved me a lot of time! This applies to the 182 I assume?

Hi, There is a strange high pitch noise coming from somewhere outisde the car when driving (i can only hear with the window down), and seems to be mainy at around 40mph, almost sounds like brake squeel from my pads (i've got Ferodo 2500's). Any idea what this can be? I've had a look at the...

They wouldn't have paid rate card by miles, could have been late space at under £1000 for all you know.

Thanks for the feedback, my girlfreind needs to download word files to use and also create detailed stuff and import to word and doesnt want me to get it if its gonne screw with her work, anyone ever had problems with this?

I'm going to pick it up this weekend, but am a bit worried about transfering word and powerpoint documents between the two, is this hard to do, and is it true that it doesnt work well? Thanks, Alex

I thought they were a lot more than that?

Any realability issues? Well built? Fast on the net? Thanks!

Hi, I am pretty sure (90%!) that I will buy the white MacBook (120GB), but have never used a mac before! They seem very functional, meet my needs and for the price (£700) im not getting a much better PC anyway. Is it that hard to learn to use them? Has anyone here got one? Thanks in...
