Is this right?

[Mikey1981]

I'm thinking about gettting a 182, but my mate says that they often cut out and won't re-start. Is this right? I thought you guys would be the best to ask.

eh...nope

 

[Maz]

Had mine 2 years and hasn't happened to me.

 

[Leeshez]

Only if out of petrol or another serious problem.

 

[Griff]

Does your mate think the world is flat?

Does your mate think the world is flat?

Also does he think the moon is made out of cheese?

 

[Mikey1981]

He said it was a known design flaw wit clios and he knows a thing or two about cars. He says a golf is a better bet, but I'm keen on the 182 myself.

 

[Kiev85]

aye

 

[fmp_]

he is talking poopy!

 

[deano1987]

hes jelous

 

[Maz]

Golf is much better built that a 182 imho.

 

[bmh.01]

Total b****cks to be completely honest.

 

[Maz]

What golfs are you looking at ?

 

[Mikey1981]

Cheers. Dunno where he got that from then! General concensus = load of b****cks.

Mine doesn't always start first time and a few others have the same problem, someone told me its if your to quick trying to start the car before the immobilliser has turned off. Its never failed to start at all though.

 

[Mikey1981]

I didn't really want a golf as was set on a 182 but he put doubt into me wit what he told me. But looks like he was wrong so 182 it is then. Just need to find a good example now

Like alot of people who really like the car they own he thinks its better than almost everything else in its class. Even though he's probably not even driven the "lesser" cars let alone owned one.

wasn't it the peugeot 206 that was on watchdog, cutting out on the motorway etc...? Maybe he's confused the two french sh1tboxes.

Mine (172) has never cut out. Nearly 2 yrs down the line.

Build quality on Rickshaws put some Renaults to shame fella. 1*2s are a lot of fun though. Cheap fun too.

Mine often won't start after i stop it then fill up, peice of shite it is. But it's never cut out.

Nope he's thinking about the petrol Merc C class (the last shape one) and the Pug 206 petrols.
