Had to replace the resistor last week as the heater had packed in. Having done a search on here it's apparent that this is a common problem with a lot of Clio's and that it is probably a design fault. Has anyone here spoken with Renault about it and ask them to contribute towards the cost of...

Possibly the resistor pack? Do a search for resistor and see if your symptoms match the problems experienced by others.

Help! i've lost the the bit for my locking wheel nuts so I can't get the wheels off the car. Spoke to the local renault dealer and they say they can't replace it. They tell me I'll have to drill the old ones out and replace with a new set. Is this true? I thought that there would only be a...

Sorry DrRollo :o - will try harder in future ;) Unfortunately it's three months out of warranty :mad:

Thanks for the replies. It's good to know that others have had similar experiences. Any thoughts on the heater fan?

Engine was up to temperature, been running for about 10 mins I guess. I expect some steam but it was so dense I couldn't see through it! Really gave me the willies!

Had a bit of a fright the other day. Dropped into third to overtake and wound it up to about 5500 rpm. When I looked in the mirror I saw what I first thought was loads of smoke coming out the back - panic! Dropped it back to 3500 and it was clear I then noticed there was loads of water on...

LOL @ Lucas. You feel old! I'm twice your age plus a bit. Only consolation is that insurance is £220

Had a bit of a scare the other day. I was accelerating hard in third when the stop and brake warning lights onthe dash started to flicker on and off. I immediately took my foot off and the lights stayed off. Car seemed OK so I continued my journey. Everything was then fine until yesterday...

Stealers are a joke. Had my car in the other day for some work on the heater and they phoned to tell me that a headlight bulb had failed. Out of curiosity I asked them how much it would cost for them to replace it. Well it's a fiddly job sir came the reply, so with parts labour and VAT...

Crikey, seems like I've been doing it wrong. I thought the the point was to see how low you could get the mpg! :D

I assume that you're after the new model which is why you are buying new. Why not wait 3 - 6 months and save your self some serious money. I bought a new car once and the moment I drove it off the forecourt it was worth 20 - 25% less than paid for it! Swore I'd never do it again. Why not...

Must confess that I prefer rwd. Power at the back leaves the front wheels free to do what they are supposed to do - steer the car. Have some sympathy with the comment that the torque steer makes it more involving; you certainly can't relax when the wheels are scrabbling at the tarmac :D

Rich - being silver it means I will spend less time cleaning it and more time driving it. That has to be good news! :D :D Vrrrrmmm Vrrrrrmm!

Replaced our black 52 plate 1.6 16v with a silver 182 (04 plate) with cup pack last weekend and spent the next few days whizzing about in it. First impressions are very good, lots of acceleration and goes round corners well. Find the seats very comfy and that they hold you well as you as you...
