182 Sport
Greetings!
Bought this beauty a week ago and pleased with it thus far
took a chance after doing the necessary checks and drove to sc**thorpe from plymouth to check this beauty out that has covered only 31000 miles! Pretty standard with the addition of scorpion cat back exhausts and i57 k&n.
I've already found the forum bloody useful and already sorted the cigerette lighter/radio switching off issue being a fuse. Strange thing is that there wasn't even a fuse in there but there was a spare? Weird.
When I collected the car it was pointed out to me that the both plastic trim around the exhausts were in bad shape i.e. Had melted and was half hanging off. I ordered these from renault and felt like I'd been bum raped by King Kong after handing over a shade over £50. After firmly clipping these into place, I couldn't quite make out how these became so fried? I keep checking them after a drive and still seem fine. The trim is easily 10mm from the pipes and the exhaust isn't loose. Hopefully this isn't something that will reoccur?
Also got a buzzing sound coming from the inside light cluster on the roof when I put the keys in the ignition. From my research on the forum, could someone confirm it is some kind of motor for the climate control and can be easily fixed even by a thick tw*t such as myself?
I've wanted a 182 for a while ever since a young lad had one down the road and I thought .... Yeah, I think I love that. This is my second car, my first being a 1.2 clio dynamique. Strange sitting in pretty much exactly the same c**kpit then starting the engine and that's where the similarities end!
I think it's a full fat version is it? Someone will correct me if I'm wrong I'm sure. I want to keep it pretty standard but open to very subtle mods suggestions.
I will as a precaution soon get the timing and aux belt done. Anyone know of a specialist in devon/cornwall?
Thanks dudes and dudesses
