    Won't connect wireless

    After a load of hassle, finally got a router and bb set up with talktalk (yes, I know that was a bad move. Now know theres a reason why its cheap!!) Now have a problem in that I cannot connect wirelessly(?). With an ethernet cable plugged in, its fine- decent speed and stable. My xbox360...

    Part name??

    Driving home from work last night and heard a rubbing/ grinding noise from front of car (05 182). Stopped the car and had a look. Piece of black plastic was hanging down from inside/ below the bumper (looks like some kind of splash/ dirt guard but had vents into) Guess this got damaged when and...

    Poor repair- options now??

    Just got the 182 back from being repaired after someone slid into on ice over christmas. Not too happy with the repairs, just wondered what options I have now. Initial damage to the car was passenger door dented to the point of being jammed shut with the lock sticking out, and dents to the...

    195 recomended fitment??

    Looking for a set of 4 tyres. Noticed 195 sized comes in about £50 cheaper then 205 sized. Is 195 a recommended fitment on 182's (standard alloys) and if I went ahead and fitted 195, would it cause any trouble regarding insurance in an accident?? Done a search and apparantly they're slightly...

    Cheap tyres??

    I require 4 tyres:dapprove: Due to a recent service coming in at more cost then expected (top job done though), funds are a bit tight. Usually I'd go for PE2's but they're way too much. Currently thinking Toyo T1's or Pirelli Nero's. Anyone got any others?? And can suggest a supplier?? *...

    Olympus e420?

    Seem to remember someone on here using an Olympus E420?? Really close to buying one (twin lens kit), just looking for a bit of feedback really. My main concern is the lack of anti-shake. Before anyone suggests D40/ Sony A200 etc. I have tried them but struggled with the physical size (small...

    Recommend me a camera

    Anybody got any recommendations for a Bridge cam? Before you all say go for a DSLR- i can't/ won't. Can't see me getting into it enough to warrant the extra outlay initially and later on with lenses etc. Also want something in one package rather then lugging different lenses about (motorbikes...

    Why are Clio's so expensive to service??

    As per title. Its quite common on here to see people paying best part of £1k for a service!! How do they justify this?? Its a Clio FFS, not a Porsche!! To my knowledge, you don't here of CTR owners paying that much (or any other sporty car for that matter) My cam belts due next year but...

    Bad day!!

    Crap day today!! Popped into town this afternoon with the GF. Parked in a car park as per usual and did some shopping. Came back to see a dent on the door (just below the window), deep scratches in the window(?), and a few deep scratches further down the door (including one on the rubstrip)...

    Bonnet Stone chips??

    Is the Clio very prone to stone chips on the bonnet?? Since they've been gritting the roads, I've noticed about 3 or 4 big stone chips on the bonnet. I know you can't avoid it, just pissed off- seems the paints quite soft?? Could be a trip to chipsaway for me soon.

    3/4 plate is no more!

    Well it lasted just over 2 months!!! Got pulled on the way home from work tonight for my 3/4 front plate (he actually had to turn around, catch up and then pull me!) I'm not going to whinge and moan about it, I knew it was illegal. Still think its very petty as it was perfectly readable...

    Faded black plastic

    Seems to me Renault have a problem with black plastic fading to grey. Just washed my car this morning (05 Inferno 182) and noticed this fading on the headlight washers, round the mirrors and where they attach to ther door, and the front splitter and fog surrounds. Now I've sprayed them with...

    Electric windows

    Done a search on this but there were a lot of conflicting opinions. Should the drivers side have one touch opeining window?? I'm sure when I got my 182 (bout 6 weeks ago), the drivers side window was one touch. Now this seems to have stopped working!!, and at the same time I have this clicking...

    Snow Foam Lance??

    Been looking into getting a snow foam lance and associated gubbins. Its not cheap and is it worth me shelling out for it? Not really into detailing. Obviously like to have a nice clean car. Generally gets a wash once a week but as said, not to detailing. Part of me says its a one off buy and...

    Servicing

    Right, picked up my 182 last weekend. Really chuffed with it and what great fun it is compared to my last car (Golf). The cars done 38k and recently had its full 36k service (belts and eveything) and has 4 new tyres. So it won't be needing anything for a while. Up until now, all servicing has...

    Hi

    Just thought I'd say hi as I'm new on here. Just a lurker on here at the moment. Current carless:( . I was after a C2VTS or Lupo GTi. The Lupo idea got binned as I'm not paying £5k for a 7 year old car!! Got a decent quote on 172/ 182's so thought I'd research them. I've recently got rid of...
