Just bought an RB 182.

[Dan@M.A.D]

Set out this morning for the 120 mile journey to Yorkshire, I rang and spoke to the dealer before i set off to ask some questions, He said the belts had been done and the car is only a 1 owner from new, On arrival it looked stunning!, RB looks 10x better in the flesh, I noticed a couple of tiny marks on the rear bumper which will need touching up, Steering wheel is not good but this is fairly common on clios so it didn't put me off too much. Managed to knock a decent amount off after finding out the belts are due in 15k miles and with the other points mentioned, Collect it on Wednesday/Thursday and cant wait , I'm so glad ive finally found a car after endless searching, Im pretty sure it has both cup packs but im no expert.

Here is the advert which is fairly minimal: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI....&ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:GB:1123#ht_1405wt_1185

I would say the belts are over due. Nice car.

 

[danh90]

Good price that isn't it? I paid 4700 for my BG 40000 on clock about 6 month ago

 

[Dan@M.A.D]

it has had a belt change at 33k.

 

[sbridgey]

thats a bargain

 

[Mr Burns]

Nice one dude!

 

[Dan@M.A.D]

Anyone know if it has both cup packs? its got a cup spoiler, No splitter fitted. Im not 100% sure how to tell :clown:

 

[sbridgey]

because the brake light is red it is a cup one

 

[Don Shaleone]

Glad u finally got one, you've been looking for a while :thumbup:

 

[Joe#]

That's a stunner! Can't believe the price on these now also.

 

[Dan@M.A.D]

I had trouble getting finance as im young

 

[benhwolves]

looks nice, can see where it previously had stripes. A good polish will see to that.

I did notice that but when i got there it was gone, Maybe he has polished it

 

[Jackpilk]

Picked mine up not long ago for a steal too. Took my stripes off, left a mark similar to yours so just used a bit of Scratch-X on it and worked a treat.

 

[Blacky950]

Good price, and looks clean.

 

[Knuckles]

Looks a good buy! Is it not the ff as it has the leather interior?

 

[SC03OTT]

The leather, climate and xenons came on 182s whether they had none, one or two cup packs. You're thinking of the 182 Cup.

 

[Knuckles]

im saying, its not a 182cup is it lol

 

[SC03OTT]

Nobody - from what I can see - said it was.

check the hub spacing as some have been known to add cup extras on a non cup ie spoilers, darker wheels etc.

non cup bolt spacing - 54mm
cup spacing - 60mm

car looks nice

 

[MonkeyKnifeFight]

it has had a belt change at 33k.

Cambelt doesnt get changed at 33k just the aux belt possibly tensioner.

Ok cheers mate, I might have to take advantage of Fred's deal then

 

[Ray Gin]

Nice one. I bought a black one today. Belts are due soon but I got it dirt cheap.

Good cars.

 

[jesus]

Good buy.

 

[sbridgey]

This thread makes me kind of wish i waited a few months and got a 182 instead of my 172. then again i love my 172 as its a bit of a sleeper.

 

[dedposh]

I picked mine up from Birmingham today, can't stop driving it!!

Which bolts are you talking about? the 2 that hold the damper to the hub?

 

[Jekyll]

yes. the spacing between the two will be 54mm for non-cup and 60mm for cup/cup packs

 

[andywa]

Nice buy mate. Any plans?

 

[Dan@M.A.D]

Just tidy it up, Purchased a 197 steering wheel, Will probably fit recaro's, 3/4 plate and little bits.

Its not a cup, I know that much, Just need to find out if it has 1 or 2 cups packs! .

 

[The Fatty]

yes. the spacing between the two will be 54mm for non-cup and 60mm for cup/cup packs

Many thanks, will have to check mine when it drys up a bit!

 

[Dan@M.A.D]

Hopefully collecting tomorrow!, I was a bit stupid, Bought the car after getting decent quotes on the compare websites, Went to take the policy out and they wanted payment in full!, Managed to find a small company prepared to cover me for a reasonable amount, Just rang them up and they are ringing me back in the morning with the lowest price. Moral of the story is check, check & check again your insurance quotes!.

 

[sbridgey]

can i have the name of said small company please

 

[littleand]

what was you insurance like on it mate?

 

[matt_182]
