This post smells fishy.

 

[Dooby]

I wish it did lol, rekon gotta be the most unluky 182 owner in the country

 

[@Spoonie]

Personally I think I would have returned this car to Renault and asked for a replacement. That many faults takes the pee.

 

[Dooby]

Forgot one as well, small cover over oil filler kept fallin off so whole plastic casing was replaced. All this and not even a free service! What does pi55 me of thou is it takes 2 or three attempts for them to fix a fault

You cant beat me for bad luck.One 182 pinched,fourteen weeks for a replacement that came with body damamge so that went if for 3 weeks and then after having it back 2 weeks got he wheels pinched so now been without if for another 2 weeks and all since becoming a owner in March.Id be happy to have a car with faults at the moment.

Little Newms wins hands down.

In 12 months and 18500 miles my 182 had:

2 exhausts
Headlamp washer jets
Strut top mods
And needed rear dampers

So far my Trophy is booked in for another engine temperature sensor. Thats 2 in two months.

 

[Jones]

Well mine is fantastic and hardly gives me any grief the only prob with it at the min is the 4k rattle and knackered driveshaft and i think the rocker cover might be leaking

 

[Mattie h]

in the 3 months iv had my williams its had a new water pump, new cam belt, new stainless steel decat exhaust system, having the gear box recond as we speak, the clutch is also being replaced and the pasanger side wing mirror needs replacin as the elecs dont work!.......it is 10 yrs old though so ill 4give it

 

[rock]

1 x cam belt

3 x ignition coils

1 x wheel bearing
