From what I have read on this forum, the cup pack is better, but only by a touch. For £200, it aint gonna be that good when you consider they charge £300 for bloody Supaguard!
I presume your local Renault dealer wont be able to fit these. I will try and see if I can find a good independent in the Gloucestershire area and see if they can give me a quote.
Thanks Michael. ;)
I didnt order it from the factory because my dealer said that it could be done when it arrived if I wanted it, and then when it arrived he told me it could only be done at the factory!
Does anyone know if this can now be done, and should my local dealer be able to do it?
I have today driven a Peugeot GTI 180 and I have to say I was quite impressed. I found the handling much flatter through the corners than my 182, and the engine noise more urgent and sporty as well. I dont think the pick up is quite as good, but its only marginal. The interior is not quite as...
After my order was placed for my 182 (when they were nice as pie), my dealer could not give a toss about me, and that was before the car had even been delivered!
After having a few problems since, I was going to complain to the Manager, but after reading all the posts here so far I think I...
Tom, when you say faulty alarm, in what respect. Also how did you find out that your engine cover that was rattling? I have noticed a slight rattling sound (which I dont think was there when I picked it up), which is only evident under acceleration. Was yours the same?
Yeah, I have seen them at my dealers, but I personnally just think the silver looks better on my colour (arctic blue) than the grey.
The thing is, my dealer was about as useful as a p**n mag in a monestry during my purchase, so I bagged a Supaguard cover out of him. As I have not yet had this...
Is it possible to have the 182 Cup suspension fitted without having to have the anthracite wheels and stiffer tyres?
If possible, I am gonna see how much my dealer will charge to do the work.
I think I will have a go in the dealers 182 which has the cup pack on it and see what I think.
Otherwise, I might investigate into these eibachs and see how much I can get em fitted for (if I can find a good independent in Gloucestershire).
Thanks guys.
Does having the cup suspension (with normal tyres) on a 182 make any difference to the cars body roll?
Its not that bad anyway, but I would like to make the car stay a little flatter round the bends if I could.
Still waiting for mine (twitch), but its not getting me down (twitch,twitch), I am enjoying the wait (aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh).
Anyone got an aspirin?
Im with you Funkyjahooner. I much prefer the wheels the car comes with, especially the Artic Blue which is also the colour I have ordered.
I cant se it effecting the value that much, as anybody who buys one without could always have it put on themselves.
It is always said that you never get...
I got somebody else to ring the dealer today to check if they had any in, and they were told the same date as me.
It wont be of any consolation to you Stu, but I am kinda glad they dont have any in as they would have been lying to me otherwise.
Heres hoping to get some delivery news soon......
A mate of mine has a Seat Leon R and apparently it can be done (obviously by someone who knows what to do) by pressing a few buttons here and there then doing a 3-2-1 Ted Rogers style manouvre somewhere around the dashboard!
Some would say to have more trust in people, but then look at Saddam...
Does anyone know if Renault Dealers have the ability to reset the clock on car speedometers (especially the newer models)? I only ask because I would be interested to know if any unscrupulous dealers would do this to cars that have been test driven, have the clockss reset, and then sell them as...
Stu, the colour I have ordered is Artic Blue.
I rang the dealers today and they told me that they had a 182 coming in on the 21st of this month! The guy who I am dealing with is called Maurice, and I think he may be getting another call tomorrow now!
Is there no trust left in the world?
