Silver 182
Hi all!
Dropping in to say hello, and ask a few questions about my new car.
I got my first Clio yesterday, never owned a Renault before, always been a vw guy, sold my mk2 TT last week in favour of a much cheaper car.
After looking around at a few, I picked up a 55 plate silver 182, which for some reason is registered as a trophy..? (Phoned Renault and they were just as confused, they phoned me back later in the day and said it was an error in its registration back in 2005) therefore, I am the only owner of a silver trophy has anyone else had this problem?
Anyway, loving it so far apart from a few bits and bobs that need sorting! The car pulls well, and although it's no animal, and nothing on the TT in terms of performance, it still makes me smile driving it!
The bad bits..
1. I have a very annoying raspy noise under hard acceleration, doesn't do it any other time.
2. The steering wheel is in terrible shape, is there any wheel covers you can recommend that fit well?
3. The auto lights seem to have a mind of their own, come on randomly throughout the day, they stay on at night however, so no biggy
4. This one is my main concern, the idle is terrible, very very up and down. shakes the whole car, it also cuts out sometimes if I turn the wheel to full lock whilst stationary
5. Radio reception is awful
6. I have no idea what the buttons on the right hand side of the steering wheel do
I'll post some pictures when the rain stops, any help would be much appreciated!
