oh, whatever... your boring me now. You obviously did'nt spot the irony did you.

Jealousy.... What a stupid statement. I've already said it's faster. At least ST's get more looks :-P

I know, god knows why they put it on top of the engine, apart from lack of space. I think the mongoose is supposed to be a lot better than the janspeed one. Most of the power is gained because the standard manifold and flexi is not wide enough. Shaun> Yes they look similar on the outside but...

OK, I've migrated from a Clio and bought an ST because of the crap build quality of the clio. Within 2 and a half years I had a new gearbox, clutch, 2 sunroof handles, 2 rotary switches, 2 ignition coils, drive train seal, new battery and god knows what else. Everything rattled including the...

Think the police rule is 10% + 3mph to pull you up if it was a cop car (which they didnt) but if it was a camera then you might have to accept it.

Mine would not start once. It was the battery that was dead..only 1 amp left in it. Got AA out and they replaced it. It makes me wonder if the monkeys at the reno garage swopped it. You can test the immobiliser by putting tin foil around the key before starting it so that it blocks it from...

18,000 or two years at 160 quid

thats a good price. I paid feckin £640 and I have 2yrs, older and more driving exp. I even paid it online! Its only group 5.

Thants a good price. It was just a standard 182, no added bits or anything. Just concerned about cost of insurance and most of all - Build quality as my currently clio has had a lot of problems from new.

Whats the lowest everyones got a standard 182 for? Theres a black unregistered UK 182 at my local Reno dealer for £10,995 and wondered what price everyone else was getting. Unfortunantly with it being black it will look dynamiqueish. Still quite a good price though.

Quote: Originally posted by GeeUK on 04 January 2005 Well, 1.2 Clios are nippy and faster to other 1.2s out there! Some idiots think that if a car is 1.4 is it faster than a 1.2 16v, but alot of cars are 1.2 8v and only push like 60-65 BHP. Get smoking those Puntos and Polos from the lights ;)...

Check if youve been caught speeding here:;) http://www.e-database.co.uk/ Username is: tiger Password is: parrot

You should pussy-foot your engine too much when it is new or it will go slower. Also the rev limiter will kick in on lower RPM when the engine is cold.

Yes, they move up and down. Does this happen first thing in a morning or is it constant? If its first thing in the morning then maybe its because the pad is stuck on the rear brake disc. Otherwise check your spare tire etc isnt loose. Some garages drill your number plate on and leave the metal...

get a 1.8 and transplant the parts that are left into the shell when you buy it back. Shame to see another Williams 1 go.

Auto Express are full of sh*t. Its probably the new Twingo that is getting a launch in the UK.

I have also had a big bill because of the ice. No grip at all. So how would a standard 182 compare to one with cup options in the ice?

Ive got an 04 1.2 16v dynamique this time. I dont trust the grip on these and the suspension is slack as hell. I though I wouldnt really notice the power but it is much slower than mine and theres rattling from the sunroof and somewhere else but at least it was free!. At least its better than...

only new things I find out are rattles and something doesnt work properly!

Another 10mph and you could have been banned! You can argue that it was 50mph indicated speed on the speedo which is probably out by 3mph but I dont think it will effect the end result. Because you have been done for due care and attension, then you are obviously going to get a lower penalty...

whats the cheapest you got your 182s for? Looking about 11k for a euro import at the moment or 11k UK if I can find someone who works for renault that wants to get me one!

Quote: Originally posted by Smokey on 23 November 2004 Number plate on my 182 is held on by sticky pads!!:o and its flapping around like a goodun where its lost its stick. Should they fix this?Sorry for the hijack That depends if you dare take it to reno cos they might drill it to bits...

no they just repaired mine. The holes are there, but theres nothing behind it! I wish I let direct line take it to its own repairer now...

Ive taken it back 3 times now and on the last visit they seemed as though I was being petty about it. There doesnt even seem to be a manager down there, only two blokes that asses cars and the bodyshop mupets. How does the number plate actually fit on normally because there are two big holes for...

Yeah for connecting an amp to the standard HU. Its not exactly the best method but apart from getting a new HU to match its the cheapest way. Are these speakers any good for the rear (sides of back seat)? http://www.empiredirect.co.uk/content/products/details/index.asp?modelcode=API-SPS130A

How are these converters for speaker output to phono made up? Is there anything specail about them? Halfords want £8 for the cable but cant I just use a normal phono extention kit and cut the ends off or does it need to be specailly grounded? Are they supported to have a gain box also or should...

Okay, someone tw*ted the back of my car a few weeks back then it was fixed but they forgot the dint in the boot lid. Got that repaired today and noticed there was something loose rattling around inside the boot lid and there were two dints above the number plate. The bodyshop said that these...

They dont come in metal. People just spray the existing ones up using plastic prima and then adding the colour(s) you want. Im sure mike can make you some up if you dont feel confident doing it yourself.
