Hello From NZ

[Pepe Le Pew]

Hi All,
I've just found out that there are only 7 182 Mk2s in NZ. So I'm feeling a bit lonely. If there are any people in the Wellington area love to hear from you. Ive managed to track down a great mechanic and a great source of fairly priced parts that I would be happy to share. If there's anyone in the wellington area would love to set up a group run over the Rimutaka's.

Welcome to the forum!

I think a chap from the forums emigrated to NZ (or was it Aus??) and took his Clio Williams with him - rare is cool but a PITA when it comes to parts lol

Get some pictures up if you want to!

Thanks for the message and yes it does cost to have a rare car but it's worth it. I get my parts in from England (prevention is better than cure). If i time it right I can get them in 7 days. This forum has been a great source of info. I have an great mechanic which helps too. Here's a photo of the rim Utama road. 42kms of pure fun with great wineries over the other side of the hill.

Yep I heard there was one about. Renault never the Williams in. Too expensive.
The good thing about NZ is that there is still alot of mechanics and panel beaters that will fix parts. A benefit of living at the other end of the world.
Eg my powersteering hose was leaking at the joins. Renault nz wanted $700 for a new part. The hose man in wellington fixed my good as new for $400.
