After driving a 182 yesterday, the main difference i felt in my limited test drive, was the gear box felt different. Kind of hard to explain, but it felt tighter without so much travel between the gears. Where there any changes between the clutch/gears of the 172 and 182? Or is this just...

Has anyone got their factory fitted Renault stereo to play CD-Rs? My 172 mk1 CD changer fails to read any CD-Rs i burn. So is this just my unit, my CD media or an evil ploy by Renault to cut down on music piracy?

So after all the hassles i had with my MK1 172, my dealer has secured me a MK2 172 which i pick up a week today. Checking out the Renault website they have removed the 172 from the list of cars, and only have info in the 182. And my dealer only has brouchers on the 182. Ive read the...
