import 182’s

[mr sheep]

are there any significant differences, seen u can get them with cup pack so is there anything missing? like alarm?

 

[Ian_182]

Yeh they are missing lots of stuff.Even locking wheel nuts

If you shop around enough you can find uk registered ones with cup packs for the same price

You cannot get Cup suspension on imports, its a UK only thing.

 

[mr sheep]

oh so the new ones i saw at 11,695 were uk sourced!, just presumed they were imports as they were so cheap.

so looking second hand wise all the ones with cup pack are uk cars? correct?

Unless you are including the Cup packs I would say this is a slight exaggeration. IIRC Missing - locking wheel nuts, etched glass, alarm possibly that AA membership thing. No big deal IMO

This isnt true, my car is an import and it has cup chassis and cup spoilers.

Its missing the alarm, locking wheels nuts and AA - not too bothered about that since a set of McGard Ultra (5/5 stars in Evo mag since they guy couldnt get them off at all) costs £35 and i have free breakdown cover anyway.

 

[rory182]

Do you not lose out on the 3 year warranty when you buy an import? Is it a standard 12 or 24 month warranty in europe?

 

[Big G]

Its a full three years (there is a scan of the letter floating about, ill dig it out).

yes but the term import refers here to the fact that theyve been sourced from a non uk source...

you CAN get imports with cup chassis/spoilers, i have one

Additionally, ive had two lots of warranty work done without any problem at all; not even the question of "is this an import". It was just done and very promptly too.

 

[mr sheep]

i just want to know whan looking for a second hand one if theres gonna be a difference in spec in anyway cos that will lower the price i presume.

best look at the paperwork, Itd seem theres no cut and dried give aways. Depends on where the vehicle was sourced from. Id expect to pay less for an import than a UK sourced car anyway.

 

[mr sheep]

i seen a black one 10,000 miles with cup packs and was uk car for £10,499

if this was an import could i get it for 10k or are we just talking a couple of hundred quid off ?

 

[rory182]

Id look to pay £10k max for a 2nd hand import. But Im biased cause Id want to sell me UK 182 for £11k lol

"Made" in Holland or sourced from Holland?

 

[mr sheep]

well how can you tell? all the booklets are in french, english, dutch, german and italian

the EU certificate of conformity is stamped in holland , all the tags for the keys are in dutch. what do u reckon

 

[Griff]

As all Clios are made in France its not made in Holland just sourced from a dealer over there.

 

[mr sheep]

clios are made i several counties tho?? there was a post only last week where james posted a pdf to show production levels in each country.

 

[mr sheep]

and if all clios are made in france then thay are all EU cars....

 

[rory182]

182s are all made in France, by Renault Sport in Dieppe I believe... Thus theyre different from standard Renault built Clios

 

[mr sheep]

true rory, i have a 1.6 dynamique and was refering to my car.
