I had this with my 182. The fronts were hankook ventus prime 2 195/45 16's with plenty of tread. It would pull to the left slightly when braking. And it seemed to follow the tramlines in the road at lowish speeds. I thought something was wrong with the car untill i replaced the fronts with some...

Can't help with the speedo but the first click on the wipers turns them to auto. The 'speed' adjustment is for the sensitivity not speed. It confused me at first but soon got used to it.

Is a shame yes. I have no plans yet. But i am in no rush and will see what comes up in the next month.

Another update. My 182 is going back to the dealer tomorrow where i will receive a full refund. My renaultsport ownership was short and not very sweet.

Thanks. I will contact him and see what he has to say.

A local Mazda franchise dealer. They said i could get my money back but i really want the car. If the problem is the timing out then yes i will get my money back but i want to know for sure. I already made a thread a few weeks ago regarding the problems and asked for some opinions but no one...

I didn't buy it from Renault. And the exhaust thing was mentioned by someone else earlier in this thread as a possible cause also.

Quick update. Had a call today from the dealer where i bought the car (they have had it back a week). They said they took it to someone who works at peugeot who has a 1*2 (so they say) and he said the exhaust cam was out a degree so fixed it. They said it now runs great! Although it ran great...

I think it look ok. Too tall though. Not sure why people are raving over the Corsa though. I hired one last summer, brand new with just 5 miles on the clock. 1.4 16v. It was the most guttless car i have ever driven. It did not cope with the hills of north Devon at all.

Had a look about and found this on wiki. Seems to just apply to lesser spec'd clios as you say. But basically all 182's are phase 3 going by this. I've bolded what applies to RS's,(I think) And In Brazil the mk 2 clio is still going. Called the Clio Mío. Check it out! First i've ever heard...

Good link. I noticed there's a Mark 2 Phase 2 182 and a phase 3. What are the differences? The stereo? Anything else? My 182 was registered July 2005 so i guess it's a phase 3? Anyone know exactly when the phase 2-3 changes were made?

Sorry for the treble post but i can't seem to edit my posts? Anyway i've been thinking, would the timing being slightly out affect the inlet valve springs? To the point that one snaps? I'm trying to work out why one of mine snapped. Cheers?

Hmm can't edit my own posts? Well i have calmed down a bit now. Doubt i would be able to get my money back now. So i guess i am just going to have to stump up the cash somehow to get the belts done again at some point. Glad Renault did such a good job the last time :dapprove: . My own fault i...

Well it seems the timings out. So a £500 bill incoming. Not paying it and going to try to get a refund on this heap of s**t.

I will chip in to say my car is behaving exactly the same as others in this thread. It started 2 weeks ago. Rough idle, car shaking, popping through the exhaust and the same pulsing sound near the drivers headlight as posted in the video a page or 2 back. Also the emissions light coming on when...
