Mine has gone down as low as 21.6mpg whilst sitting in stop start traffic but is around 28-29as a rule. The mk11 172 i had before was more economical.

Tyres were spinning today, traction control light flashed at me (ooh er) but didnt appear to be cutting the power.As this is linked to esp maybe i should get this checked. Stu

Must just be the car, but it just doesnt feel as well planted on the road as it used to be,come rain or shine:(

Got that the wrong way round :oops:

Yeah theyre bang on 30 psi in the front and 33 in the back. This was the first thing i checked.

Lager lout, Have 4-5mm left on them surely theyre not knackered yet?

Homerjay, How much tread you got left on ya tyres?

Nice one Pow i assume you have the same problem with your 1.4 then:)

Seren, I get water vapour from mine for quite a while on short or long journeys, but dont tend to give it anything until its been running for about 10mins or so. Never had to clear the rear window though. Dont think its anything to worry about. Stu

Feel skittish in these conditions i.e damp roads. Mine seems to want to spin the wheels all the time even with traction control on and generally feels a bit light at the front end. Just wondered if this was normal or is it me? Stu.

Hi, Paintwork on my 182 isnt bang on. The narrow air vent underneath the main front grill has a lack of paint at either end and also where the back bumper is screwed on the paint is patchy aswell. Also in the lower air intake on the front, right in the corners there is a lack of paint. I...

This happened to my flame red 172. The guy at the bodyshop said it had to be machine polished as there was no other way to get rid of the mark i.e. t-cut was no good. The bird sh1t had only been on there for a matter of minutes. I eventually took it up with renault customer services who...

Sorry to hear about all your problems toypop, if it makes things slightly better the headlamps will always get condensation in them as theyre not sealed units. 106gti97, I think pretty much all cars come with some kind of problem be it very minor or more serious, the CTR certainly has its fair...

You should only clean your seatbelts with soapy water afaik as the webbing can be damaged if you use upholstery cleaners. Stu

Wait until you have 4-5k on the clock it will start to fly.

Been out and sorted it thanx for all the help although i havent super-glued it into place. Will see how it goes for the time being as i very rarely carry rear seat passengers, it was just that my sister was getting married at the weekend and i needed to pick someone up. This is when it decided...

Thanx for the helpful tips will go and have a look in a minute and let you know. cheers stu.

If i pull the handle any harder ill rip it off. Yeah lee very funny think i shall be paying renault a visit tomorrow.:D Stu.

Drivers seat on my 182 wont tip forward i.e cannot let anyone get into the back seat from this side, any ideas?

Had mine since april and still love it, (no stripes though). Stu

Got my insurance with direct line and told them it had cup suspension on it,they said there was nothing extra to pay

The reasonably priced car is a Suzuki Liana so i would imagine it will be quicker than 1min 53secs. Remember the STIG will probably be driving aswell.

My 182 is covered by d.line and they were told about the cup suspension and said it wasnt a problem as it is factory fitted.

Id have gone for the racing blue but i would say that as thats the colour i ordered. Well chuffed with it:D

Cant say ive had the same experience balders, mine is absolutely spot on. The 172 mk2 i had before cornered well, but i always felt that the chassis was working quite hard to get the results. The 182 corners like a go-kart and so far im well impressed. stu 172 (now 182)..

Got a 182 with just the dash mounted cd player , and every time you go over a bump in the road the cd jumps. Anyone else had this problem? By the way the 172 never did it whether i was playing a cd in the multi-changer or the dash.

Gave me 9k for my 172 mk2 02 plate with 24k on the clock and did the 182 for 13,050 but that was in french racing blue with cup suspension pack(no spoilers).

I was told that the 6 cd auto-changer was not an option when i ordered mine. Was shown the by the dealer on the pc and no option was there!!!

Only had mine today and it seems to be finished off better than my 172. What people still have to remember is that anything that is mass produced can encounter problems.Renault arent the only car manufacturer to have problems with quality it happens to the best of them.

My original date for delivery was april 7th spoke to dealer yesterday and the car is in southampton so could arrive earlier
