£180 Ouch... I have same problem on my 182, I will try shortening the hose first. 2 supplimentary questions: If I drain the fluid completely and refill with new ATF will I have problems with air in the system (if yes, will this just go away with use) ? What colour fluid should I...

Test drove a 197 today while my Trophy was in for its 12K service. Dealer allowed me to really 'test' the car, staying away from dual carrageways in favour of a few miles of twisting country roads. Plus points for me... Cant argue with the claims of better build quality - it felt like a...

I took the pressures down to 32 - 30 and didnt like the way the car performed at speed - changed them to 35 - 32 and noticed a huge difference. The car was far more precise through corners and I could 'feel' the amount of traction that the tyres had at any time far better than at lower pressures.

cheers for the reminder, had mine for 4 weeks and noticed it would always try to wander to the right on the road slightly. Just checked the pressures with a digital meter and they were crazy... Front 37 35 Rear 40 34 Renault dealerships eh !

have to say no after seeing the close-up photo

Hi guys, looking fo a little advice from the experts in here.... I am about to fit a replacement head unit to a 182 and just wanted to check if I need to disconnect the battery during the change ? Also, is the alarm likely to go off when taking out the old head unit ? Many thanks DH

Like most of you guys, not sure at the moment - need to see one in the flesh. Looks nice from a couple of angles and a bit feminine from others. I am at the Dealership this weekend so will have a good look at the new regular Clio as I think it goes on sale from saturday.

quick update.... Spoke to the delaer again today and he said that the prices for the new clio model MP3 head units havent been released yet, but because it wouldnt be a factory install, he thought it would cost about £200 from the dealer. I mentioned that you can buy a cracking head unit...

Dealer still hasnt got back to me (no suprise there eh !), but saw that someone was selling their original 182 head unit on ebay and asked them what they swapped it with. He got back to me saying he dropped a Sony CDX F5550 in and the stalk controls worked without a lead. Found them an amazon...

rhollins - did you end up taking the badges off ? were they just stuck on ? DH

Just found this one for you too: https://www2.dayinsure.com/ DH

Go to: http://www.insurancewide.co.uk/cms.php?quote=TRUE&tag1=L1123&cid=1&pid=MT&aid=100318 choose short term insurance from the 'type of insurance' option DH

Thanks for the suggestions guys... Spoke to the dealer today and he said that there is an option to get an MP3 unit on the new model clio which will be available in the new few weeks, he is checking whether its a straight swap with the one in mine. As a bonus the unit is capable of talking...

Quick question for ICE experts here... Looking to pull out the standard Radio/ Single CD player that comes with the 182 Trophy and put in a replacement that will play MP3 tracks burned onto CD's. Is there a model that will be a straight swap rather than having to buy adaptors as mentioned...

Any idea what make they are Bruce ?

I have just found a company that sells the above high security versions: http://www.priracing.co.uk/product.php?xProd=367http://www.priracing.co.uk/product.php?xProd=367 price at 14-sept-2005 is £38.72 including shipping Just come back from Halfords and they wanted £33 for the regular ones.

Let us know how you get on with the dealer this time upperbank - best of luck !

So whats the story Ducks ? How is the car and did you blast the engine once it was warmed up, or go for the safe option ?

My delivery date just came through for the car and its only going to take 3 weeks to arrive. Not bad as I have read that many of you have waited much longer for them. I wonder if my number will be in the 400s ?

I have just PMd you the details, feel free to PM me with any more info that you want about the car. Best advice is to Test drive the car for at least 45 mins along twisty back roads and then jump into a cupped regular 182 to see the difference. Oh yeah and turn off the ESP so you can feel the car.

Love the front - nice work, did you do it all yourself or get someone to fit the parts for you ? ...and did it take long ?

I will pop over and register now... I see you already have 73 of the 500 potential owners signed up already.

I get to pick the registration number and find out the delivery date on Monday morning... cant wait ! Test drove the 182 full fat with cup packs and Trophy alternately for over 1 1/2 hours today and got a really good insight into both cars. The dealer took me to a great stretch of twisty...

Just wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone on Cliosport - you have given me tons of advice over the past couple of weeks and today I applied it all and bought my very own 182 Trophy ! Thanks to you guys I got a great price for the car from a main dealer and the negotiation was a doddle -...

Many thanks for your advice 63... I will give that a try today

could you post a link to more info on this item - I guess it must be available on the internet ?

Many thanks for the feedback guys. Hoping to buy a 182 this weekend and will be joining the club as soon as the membership service is working again.

Hi RB, thanks for the feedback. The 11.7 is for a UK car, so now worries there. Thought long and hard about getting nearly new, but for the difference in price I get to run the engine in myself and know that I am not buying someone elses white elephant. Also I am buying it as a keeper rather...

Well guys, this is the weekend I buy a 182. I test drove a full fat with the cup packs fitted a couple of weeks ago and loved every second of it. I have got a test drive in a Trophy tomorrow morning, followed straight after by a spin in a regular 182. I figured this was the best way to compare...

I used to own a first generation MR2 and was forever catching the front of the car on speed bumps unless I went over them at a little more than a few mph. Is the 182 prone to this - especially the lowered Trophy ? I was hoping that the extra lip that gets fitted to the bottom of the front...
