Im getting worried.....Ive been discussing/arguing which will win with my work mates for the whole day. Being a 182 driver you know who ill be supporting.....but can the 182 actually beat its arch enemy the Type-r ?!
Guys ive just got back from my holidays and had left the 182 in the drive for a little over 2 weeks. When i got back took a quick look at the car before setting off and noticed quite a bit of corrosion on the brake discs. No problem i thought and took the car for a spin. Brakes were crap as...
Sara, with 1500 miles on the clock your car is basically a new born baby!!:)
Ive done just over 15K in mine now and it is flying ...some days it feels super quick and other days just quick...but never slow! Put it this way i came up behind a new scoob the other day (blue, chunky gold alloys...
yep mine does this as well! Feels like im driving over a largish stone when on full lock normally when reversing out of my drive way - told the renault guys when i had my 182 serviced and they told me they tightened the suspension or steering mounts (cant remember). This did solve the problem...
Hi guys,
Recently ordered some show number plates for my car which are not road legal because of the way I have spaced the lettering. Anyway the plates that I received have been made using what i would describe as a laminating kind of system - because of this the plates look pretty naff close...
Guys after nearly 12700 miles of trouble free motoring, my 182s stop and battery indicator warning lights are showing :(
Basically it shows when i start the car (stays on when all other warning lights are out - but only for a few seconds) and goes out when i get up some speed, then comes on...
Thanks for the replies gang!
Yep will be getting my tyres changed in the morning - lucky Ive got a pair of PE2s ready to fit as theres only a couple of hundred miles worth of tread left on the ones on there. Would have cried if that happened to a newish tyre.
Hi to Iceblue.
I dont think it due to curbing....no one else has driven the car except me for the last couple of months so i should know!
Let me post up the pic of the other lump i was talking about...no curb marks on the rim on that side. Here you go...
The thing is there is another smaller lump on the side wall exactly opposite to this one!
The only thing that could have done it was i drove over a pretty deep pot hole the other day - but would never have guessed it was bad enough to wreck a tyre.
Guys this is pretty surprising...one of my front exaltos 2 on my 182 has got two lups in the side wall. Dont these tyres have a stiffer tyre wall etc..etc...
Have no idea how this could have happened - the fronts need a change anyway but still this shouldnt happen to a tyre of this type - time...
It was only a tiny scratch and scuff - size of a 50p…but damage never the less! Was hoping they would get it done in a couple of hours but I was told it would take a couple of days!!..bumper off job .
I really hate leaving my pride and joy there..i have nightmares of them taking it out for a...
LOL^^^^^^^^^
I had mine done the other day cost me £198 all in.....expensive yes but thats seems to be the going rate down south!
The tw*ts put in 0w40 mobile1 oil instead of the 5w40 stuff - told them their error and the service guy fobbed me off saying that the oil they put in is better...
I also get a light clunking sound in my 182 as KnightAzul has said - Immediately after taking my foot off of the accelerator at low speed normally when im in 2nd gear (one clunk)...but i have only noticed this when the car is cold.
From inside the car im guessing the sound im hearing is...
yep my 182 does it too!! I think it sounds pretty cool :)
I reckon its either: induction roar (most probable?), air going under the bonnet, or a secret little turbo that renault forgot to tell us about!! lol
Hi all,
Had my 182 which has got cup suspension for a few weeks now and just wanted to get your opinions on what is the best way to drive a 182 quickley through the twisties! :)
To be honest with you im not as impressed with the handling of the 182 as i thought i would be....my last car was...
paid 12,050 on the road with cup pack http://www.drivesmart.co.uk/Uwww.drivesmart.co.uk/U UK car
Iceblue 182, whats the catch with this??? At that price it has to be an import/pre-registered!!?!
Hi guys,
Went down to my local dealership today and the best he could do a 182 with suspension/spoiler pack was £13100. I was a bit disappointed with that price as i was sure he would match the internet price i had of 12.5k!
Wasnt that impressed with the performance of the car either (only...
Hi guys,
I just wanted to keep this thread going as I am looking to buy a 182 in the very near future and would like to stay up to date on any bargins you people are finding! :D
Hi guys,
Im looking to buy a mk2 172 asap! The problem is i have become a little concerned about the future re-sale value of these cars because of the new 182.
Im looking at buying a 1 or 2 year old car with low mileage (under 15k). Now the prices i am seeing on auto trader and the like have...
