My Inferno 182 FF



  Clio 197 RB
So recently after months of trying to sell it, I managed to move on my Renaultsport Megane R26. Was my second R26 and was faultless for the year I had it. But due to commuting by public transport and not using the car much I decided that it would probably be best to sell it.

Heres a pic of it a couple of weeks before I sold it.

Just before I sold the car, I put a wanted ad on here, looking for either an Inferno or a Petrol Blue 182.

I received an email from a guy named Mark who said that he had just purchased a new car and was looking to sell his Inferno 182, he sent me a list of all the details about the car and it was in my price range.

A few days after the email I travelled up to Welwyn Garden City to view the car.

The car was fantastic, It looked amazing, in such great condition for a nine year old car. The car was faultless on the test drive as well.

A deposit was offered and I picked the car up last saturday.

  Now Sold :-(
Hah. Yea new plates. Nice and clean. 3/4 on the front also.
Hats off to you for keeping this car so clean and well looked after.

I am honestly really glad you are enjoying it. Kept me amused for five years so must be something good about it.

Have this to roll around in until the new car arrives......

Car is now fixed and back to full health

Things I did:

Cleaned the Throttle Body
Replaced the Coolant Temperature Sensor
Replaced the Air Temperature Sensor, and
Replaced the Thermostat

Pretty sure it was the Coolant Sensor, but its fixed and now I can concentrate on driving it now.

Really. What have you done to it?
Other than routine maintenance that car didn't miss a beat in the five years I owned it.
You said you'd look after it!! :nono:

Hadnt done anything. It started running rough on Sunday, and I put a thread in the faults/problems section and it seems a few people have had the same problem.
Changed what they said to change and now it's back to full health.

Yeah the meg I got from some guy in London needs a bit of work doing to it! :p I'm really enjoying it though and it's being pampered! Your new car looks really nice by the way!

Glad you're enjoying it mate. I miss it, but this little Clio is so good, plus the Recaro's make it such a nice place to be in.
TBH there's probably more info on here for the Megs than on Meganesport.net. Haha.
 
  Megane RB8 & 182
Yeah meganesport seems a bit dead, I'm on rs megane! The meg needs a new driveshaft for each side and a new radiator, and then after that it's wheels and front bumper respray! But yeah I'm really enjoying it! The recaros are in really good condition and they're so comfy :)
