i HATE renault and my 182

[seb]

i wont bore you all with the details of the problems with my 182 but it has been in to renault four times for the infamous faulty temp sensor... this has now resulted in renault having my car for almost two weeks replacing the wiring loom...

got the calll today saying it was fixed so i was well chuffed. dropped off my hire car and went round to pick it up. took the 182 for a spin and all seemed good until an amber zig zaggy line came up on the dash and the car refused to acccelerate and go above 3000rpm. this was within ten minutes of having the car.

took it straight back and am now driving a renault megane until they fix it....

this was on top of having a lung infection confirmed by a doctor this morning and i am walking around as if i am a pensioner... i am only 22...

plus i had to give CPR to some fella at my football match last night and unfortunately i found out he died... so i kinda feel bad for the old boy really.

plus i found out the girl i have been courting thinks i am great guy but shes not interested.

what good day.

so i hate renault and my 182...

(although i did have the biggest smile on my face for nine minutes and 59 seconds....)

all the best im off to start my course of antibiotics.

Unlucky mate, well you do know what they say about bad luck coming in 3s, things are looking up for you after this!

 

[billy182]

yep things can only get better matey.

 

[seb]

all the best

Look on the bright side. You have a courtesy car and your car is being fixed for free.

There are who people spend more on second hand cars than you spent on your new Clio and they have stuff go wrong that costs them money to fix and they have to go without a car and catch the bus!

I remember posting and saying I should have got a Type R after my 182 ran into trouble!

Then my mate got a Type R....

His has had far more go wrong with it than my 182 and it certainly isnt quicker but it sure cost more.

some 172s were doing that too, wasnt it mooses that did it ???

 

[beacytan]

buy an audi

 

[182_blue]

trouble with a audi is if you want a new one your going to have to spend 22k plus to get something as fast as a 182

Bloody hell Seb, sounds like youre having a right rough time. As Ive found out, it gets better eventually. Just gotta keep your chin up...

 

[seb]

yes rick it aint all gravy as they say down my neck of the woods.

but i do quite like the megane ive got. for starters its the first car theyve given me which has a cd player! im made up...

oh another thing... i was sitting playing burnout 3 with my flat mate when the phone rang and it was some random woman asking for someone... anyhow told her doesnt live here and youve got the wrong number.

she continued to call again and again just couldnt get rid of her... in the end SHE said she was going to ring the police to complain about me ringing a vulnerable woman????!!?!?! totally random.

cheers
