Ive ordered one, doubt its here yet though.
mine is due on 15th to dealer, me gets it on the, cant see it being early either, i hope it is though!
How often do the cars arrive ontime, early or late?????

I am supposed to pick mine up on the 1st Sept. Phoned the dealer to check on progress and they have a delivery date to them from Renault as anywhere between 27th Aug and 6th Sept? I do hope it arrives at the dealers 2morrow as I ordered this in July!
On a transporter to my door on the 1st
I think Ill "work from home" so I can put a few miles on it.
Apparently Renault are working again - though dont know if that means the Clio. Spoke to someone in the trade today who has just received Scenics that were scheduled for September build / Oct delivery.
I picked up my 04 Artic Blue 182 on the way home from work, well I left work at 2:30 cos the boss was away, couldnt wait to get behind the wheel and see how it goes.
It was quite funny how I happened to buy one really, I was talking to my Brother on the phone last Thursday and he was going on about this Clio 182 which I had never heard of until then, well he was going on about it so much I dropped in to my local dealer to see what all the fuss was about. Well to cut a long story short, I saw it and bought it there and then 2 months old, some old grandad bought it and decided he didnt like so traded it in for a Megane estate.
I think value for money you cant beat it, performance looks it has the lot.

Weve ordered one, is at the dealers now ready to be picked up on wednesday!1.2 16v dynamique in black!
I think the Dynamiques are made in a different factory to the renault sports
Yeah 6 to 8 weeks is their standard reply and means absolutely nothing. I was given the same figure despite the factory shutting down during that period!!! They are talking b****cks basically.
Its already been 8/9 weeks for me and will be at least 12 before I get the car. Given what DazW said though and bearing in mind he ordered his a few weeks before mine I suspect that I will get the car in mid to late Oct - thats more like 16 weeks in end!
If you are very lucky it could be 12 weeks but I say closer to 16 so fingers crossed you might get it in the run up to Xmas otherwise it could be 2005!

Renault are pretty good when it comes to delivery compared to other manufacturers I have dealt with in the past.
The factory does shut down for the summer Holiday and you unfortunately ordered at the wrong time of year. I should imagine that production will be back in full flow and Renault dealers will be able to meet there schedule of 6- 8 weeks delivery times again..
If you dont want to wait that long Im sure there are dealers out there that have cars available straight away.. Its just a case of looking around!!!

I dont see how they can do that? They had a waiting list of 8 weeks and then closed the factory for a few weeks. Unfortunately people didnt stop placing orders during those few weeks the factory was closed...
So now they have a backlog of 13 or 14 weeks? If they can just "catch up" and work that back down to 8 weeks why dont they keep on going and get the wait down to say just a month? I dare say they will catch up by next summer but for the time being its surely a wait of at least 3 months? Or am I missing something?
There is no way msa172mk1 will get his car by Oct 6th let alone 25th Sept! I would be lucky to get mine by then and I have a few week headstart over him!
I took delivery of my new clio today(1.2 16v Sport Dymanique). It only arrived at the dealership yesterday and they quickly put it through its PDI and I got it at closing time tonight. Done 50 miles in it already and I am chuffed to bits. Been reading the manual and was wondering how I can tell that I have a 1.2 16v engine. According to the pics in the manual what I have under the bonnet resembles the 1.4 16v as my oil filler cap is to the side at the front whereas on the 1.2 16v in the manual is to the side in the middle. Also the black engine cover is the same shape as the 1.4 in the pic. Is there any way I can tell what size engine I have? On the rubbing strips on the doors it just says 16v. I dont wanna walk into the dealership 2morrow and look like an plonker asking if they have supplied me with the right car! Any help appreciated. Cheers
Err... No it doesnt m8 - i aint that stoopid!
Well I am here looking at the the photos I took of the engines on my pre face lift 1.2 16v and my current shape 1.2 16v and they both have a grey engine cover and it has "RENAULT" written in silver then a yellow "16v" perpendicular to that followed by "1.2l" in silver!!! Exactly the same on both engines! You sure they aint sold you a 1.2 8v!!!!!!!!
There is no writing on the cover what so ever. I have a big black cover on top of the engine which has 3 horizontal lines same as the pic for the 1.4 16v in the manual. The pic of the 1.2 16v in the manual has a different shaped cover and 4 black tubes coming out the front of it which i dont have on my engine. Also my dipstick is the same as the 1.4 16v pic as the 1.2 16v in the pic has a looped end to it that u can put your finger through and the dip stick on mine is just rounded off. I know Renault chop and change things but i am just a little confused. And no it aint a 1.2 8v theyve given me as its got 16v on the doors!
