Yesterday about 5pm by the Total garage. I was stuck in traffic and you drove past going out of Weybridge and you looked really cheerful when you saw my identical RB182...:D

Yep - standard cup suspension, springs, dampers etc all round. Thanks for all your suggestions. Going to get a 2nd opinion at lunch time as to whether it looks "normal" or not and then I'll have to get it checked out by a professional.

Hi, I've just had a strange experience at a traffic light....:S When the lights were on red, the bloke in the car that had following me pulled along side and told me that when I was cornering left my offside rear wheel was leaving the ground. He was amazed the car was still driveable and...

No sister and no inferno, just that my 4 year old daughter has got to the stage where she thinks every inanimate object has to have a brother or sister!! First inferno I've seen and have to say it looks excellent. Only had the car 2 months and was specifically after a striped Racing Blue...

That was me. Was taking my daughter to her swimming lesson and she kept asking me whether the orange Renault was my car's sister! :) Saw you go past on byfleet road as I was waiting to turn from Seven Hills Road, so was on the lookout in case you'd gone towards Guildford. Thanks for letting...

Was hoping to catch you, but didn't try very hard as traffic was its usual bad self. I have to drive that road pretty much same time day in day out, but haven't spotted anyone who's replied on here before. Love the pink stripes and recaro's by the look of it. Probably a dumb Q, but what's...

Followed you all the way along the A244 from Staines Road cross roads to Walton Bridge Aston Martin garage. Started about 6 cars behind and then got as close as a just a Megane Scenic between. Wonder what he thought about being in a racing stripe sandwich. Probably nothing as he spent the 5...

Also, RON is the standard octane measurement in European countries and (RON + MON)/2 the standard for North America. Hence, "regular" unleaded petrol in UK with 95 octane is roughly equivalent to North American "mid grade" unleaded gasoline with octane of 91. Regular gas in the US has lower...

Have been reading this thread with interest and thought that I'd add some other points, which probably won't help but should add to the confusion lol... Engine power is down to a number of things, the most important factor being engine design, i.e. the Clio's 4 cylinder 2 litre block ain't...

Without wanting to get shot down, isn't the confusion here about what is meant by "on cam"? The F4R engine in the 172/182 (and various other renault's in a different form) has basic variable valve timing. As described before this simply changes the camshaft angle by 16 degrees so that the...

It's early in the morning, but I'll give it a go (no doubt I'll make a mistake)... Clio fuel tank is about 50 litres which is 11 gallons. If using V-Power gives an extra 4mpg, on a full tank this equals 4 x 11 = 44 extra miles. To fill a tank of unleaded = 50 litres x 92p = £46 To fill a tank...

You may want to consider paying the difference between the budget front tyres and a pair of Exaltos. Considering a portion of the cost will be fitting, balancing etc, shouldn't cost you too much and will make a massive difference to the car's handling. I bought my 182 about a month ago from a...

HT53 about 17:45 on Cadbury Road. You flashed me and I gave you the thumbs up, but really should have been thumbs down as I was stuck in traffic, lol.

Very very shiny 07-reg at the Aston Martin end of Oatlands drive at about 9am this morning. By the number of shirts hung on the back seat grab handle, I didn't get the impression you were out for a back road thrash lol ;)

It's definitely worth checking the HT leads and spark plugs. It could also signal the end of the Lambda sensor's life which could need replacing. An easy thing to try is going to a different petrol station (if you normally fill at just one) and filling the tank, as the recent contaminated...

Slyfield industrial estate, about 14:00 yesterday. Personal plate. Presume it was someone on here from the friendly thumbs up I got in response to a flash of the lights. Racing blue looks great in the sunshine...

Tidy looking Ph2 silver 172 came out of Nissan garage and turned left onto Gaston Bridge Road heading for Staines Road. Then turned left onto Staines Road and thats when my chauffeur couldn't keep up in his barge-like Volvo S80. Think reg was BK03 but brain is pretty mince as now in Chicago and...

Apols, time lag on post as was internet-free since Thursday. Had to point this out as car looked sweet. Came all way round r/bout on A322 then headed back to M3 r/bout but took the turning to Lightwater. Car handling looked excellent round that corner, whoever was driving. Evo turning out...

I think that the Morego 200bhp conversion got good reviews in Evo magazine when they tried one out. About 1500 quid fitted I think for air filter, cat back exhaust, ECU and cams. http://www.morego.co.uk/road_tests_item.php?road-test=5

RG03 or similar driving along the road that splits BP's office complex at about 5pm. Looked super shiny in the sunshine...

I tried a few insurers about a year ago and it was a 2 year gap. Really annoying as it was about 2 1/2 years that it had lapsed for as I was using a company car and I'd had built up 6 years no claims. They wouldn't even let it continue even though I had been driving a company car in the...

Hi. Apols if this has been asked before, but I am new to the forum. I was wondering if anyone else had owned a Ph1 172 and a 182 cup and was able to compare them? Having owned a 172 back in the early days of June 2000 in Edinburgh, I moved to Weybridge in 2003 and couldn't justify the 2nd...
