    Expenditure on my car 182 so far

    Not long sold my 16v W reg laguna to a mate, its now on 151,000 miles. I had it since 92k(4 years ago) and all i've had go since then is two rear wheels bearings. Usual wear and tear items like tyres expected/general servicing. 1 owner before me with all Receipts/full renault history, original...

    Beas, I think i followed you in Malvern on Friday evening about 5.15 along Pikersleigh road. If it was you then i can confirm that his car is VERY clean,(and i'm fussy) - What are you buying next?

    Any 172 rust issues? + few ph1 questions

    After selling my 182 to fund my Westfield build, i'm on the lookout for a ph1 172 with low miles so i can still have some fun everyday... My question is how do they fair for rust now they are 10 years old? Do they have rolled back arches like the 182s? I've seen quite a few standard ph1...

    So where all the "good" 182s for sale.

    Sold my FF 55 reg Inferno a few weeks ago for £6800, ok it had only done 7700 miles and was as new.. People DO pay 6k for them at the moment i had lots of interest... Theres a 54reg 15k mile met blue one on pistonheads at the moment 1 owner for 6100 looks good and i think the correct price.

    Clio Buying...

    Posts like this always confirm to me that most cheap 182s are complete rubbish - And despite what people say on here, an actual mint 182 is still worth well over 6k for a late low mileage example. Although people seem to get 'minters' like the one above for 25p most weeks. I'm sure others...

    Petrol blue - premium?

    I looked at the one with Recaros as it was for sale in late 2007 with only 8k miles, it was a bit tatty so i didnt buy it.. it annoyed me abit as i wanted it lol I have since seen it advertised without the Recaros seats in :-( If its in good nick then buy it as its a good price and you...

    soon to be clio182 owner

    If the escort is any kind of modded you'll find the 182 abit boring and not that fast. I've got a 182 now and did have a Mint Slightly modded Fiesta RS Turbo a while ago... the 182 is just no fun in comparison, and the turbo noise/exhaust is just miles better on the RST. (my 182 is standard...

    Inferno - how rare???

    You could have my FF inferno for about £7250(bargain if they can get 6700 for a poverty cup which is probably abit ropey) Mines a FF 55 plate on less than a quarter of the miles (7300) and completely as new, no kerbed wheels, Original Pe2's with the bobbles on the edges still, both cup packs...

    Inferno - how rare???

    168 Inferno cups, 148 FF inferno's.. the one they are looking at is a cup i think :-)

    The Clio Williams Thread...

    Bridgestones were not original fit to the Williams.. and you've got the wrong size too. Should be Michelin Pilot HX and 185/55 not 195/50 as fitted to your wheels. :-) Still looks cracking though.

    Got my new 182! FINALY

    All new tyres? They should be the original Michelin Pe2 on that mileage? unless you mean they are still as new. If its had all new tyres i'd be questioning why at that mileage. Sounds like a good find though :-)

    Oil consumption advice needed...

    Wont be long until it goes bang (hopefully) :-) if you cant be arsed to get it serviced - its not the same on all renault engines. Its only abused cars/worn engines (that arent serviced) seem to use oil, the only renault engine i have known to use oil was my girfriends old Williams as it was...

    Renault Engines

    Car makers do seem to have some funny times when it comes to getting power from engines, Ford had a 75bhp 1.25 engine in the fiestas back in 1996! - and a 90bhp 1.4 16v aswell, this was SO much better than renault at the time, they were still using 8v(and still do use useless 1.2 8v lumps of...

    Buying a 182

    I'd take the 182, My girlfriend has a Fiesta ST and i've got a 182, so i get to drive both - 182 for me, the ST is good, but just not as good as the clio. Early ST's are poorly equipt as standard(get a facelift) with the darker front lights. But even then you dont get half the stuff you do on a...

    When do things start going wrong?

    The sport models do seem less reliable than the normal models, but this has got to be down to the owners raping them daily! Any sporty car will be driven harder than a normal car, and with higher costs to fix sporty models people often don't bother with maintenence properly. In my experiance...

    how much coolant?

    I use the Comma Green antifreeze in my laguna and my mums clio its been fine for years - i got it from the local motor factors, i would only use renault stuff in the 182 as it seems to be sort of a yellow colour from new? and i want it to look correct lol

    whoever says 1.2s arent fun should be shot

    1.4 8v is no faster than a 1.2 16v you're right, but the 1.4 16v (98bhp) is a cracking engine, its much faster than the 1.2 16v. The best 1.2 engine IMO that i've driven is the 1.25 zetec-se in the old mk4 T/V reg shape Fiesta's, thats a great little engine and so revvy. I rememeber the...

    The magic button

    To be fair that was probably a basic system being a new feature. When my girlfriend got her new Fiesta st in 2005 she ticked the optional ESP.. at the time they were doing them prodrive test day things when you bought one. On the skid pan we tried it with the esp off and on, it was really hard...

    Re: 182 Prices at the moment selling mine soon HELP NEED ADVICE Yup theres loads on Autotrader for 7k - 8k, they must sell as i've been checking prices ever since i've had mine periodically and the cars are always different ones on there. At the French Car Show in 08 most of the...

    so... anyone got a 172, and regrets it?

    How often do you have to fill it up? might have the trade mark leaky washer jets so after you use them once, the washers on the lights keep dribbling and drain all the fluid out until it leaves just a tiny bit left for the screen.

    197 OR Focus ST

    The head units look the same now (older 55/06 reg might not)only difference is the st-3 has the 6 disk in dash version, the downside is the quality built in amp in the single slot version gets taken out to make room for the 6 disk holder, so you gain more slots but loose sound quality.. The...

    "It's french..."

    Buy something else then maybe?? Both my french cars are fine 182 doesn't rattle at all, my Laguna has done 116k and drives like new and nothing ever falls off. Its got a few rattles but its over 8 years old and never breaks down. In comparison some of the new cars at my work are...
