Got a discount from the dealership, then a contribution of 60% (on the discounted price) from Renault UK. Bill reduced from £1890 to £600. I'm happy.

Up the Renault Customer Care!! My cars a '04 Clio 182 with 45K on the clock, its been regularly serviced slightly ahead of schedule by Renault and has been perfectly reliable up until Tuesday. Iv been away on business and then went to Silverstone, so hadnt driven the thing for about a week...

HAZ, thats always where they crack.

i got a scorpion (RS192), only been on the car a month so no rusting or cracking yet. it doesnt fit 100% perfect, needs a bit of adjusting but i cant find the time. its bassy at tickover but reasonably quite when driving normally and louder when nailing it, but not overly so, defo one of the...

Morning, no worries for yesterday cheers for beer tokens, they were converted and now im hungover, bbq was ace, ate 3 huge steaks.110 in convoys fun... now wheres the paracetamol.

Yeah, its my neighhbourhood. Dont see too many RS's about here really, i work in Darwen and there is a few up there. BTW have you ever seen any cars hit the kerb at the roundabout on eastway where d'urton lane is, iv seen loads, renamed it the 'slipabout'. bri.

Hey Mish, I dunno whos the car is, but I live on the Pennines which is just off the next roundabout up on the way to asda and I see it everytime I drive up durton lane. dont think its anyone off here tho. Never seen you about either? Bri

Tesco 99. same price as a main brands regular fuel, but 99 ron.

I got one, fitted it myself, getting the tail pipes to sit right is a b**ch, but they look good when its done. Has a deep bassy sound at idle up to ~2k rpm, then my induction kit makes too much noise to really hear it. Looks good and for £350 delivered is great value.

Yeah, aux belt was done at 34k, but it still does this squeal at high rpm. Its odd, I can hit the rev limited once or twice and it wont make the noise, but then once its started to squeal it will squeal at reasonably low rmp, like 4k. Anyone any ideas?

I get a fairly constant 35mpg, driving mostly m-way with some A roads, I don't generally drive in ruch hour traffic but I tend not to hang about on the m-ways tho. My max ever is 40mpg on A-roads. Simply can't do 50-60mph on m-way, would be dangerous, I would fall asleep.

Werksatt Acrylic Jet: unbelievable finish, I used this on mine at the weekend and couldnt believe the finish & it takes bugger all time to apply. Good shout that rich.

You will be loving the Clio just seconds before your bike slips on some crap on the road (probably left by a farmer) and you paint a dry-wall red.

Hey Andy, I bought some jubilee clips for my CV boot (pm you about it a bit back), it took ages to find somewhere that sold big enough ones (halfords etc..), eventually got some 4" diameter from Gibsons, do you recon that will about fit? or **n-bomb**? Brian.

I live in Preston and commute to Darwen, so I only ever really drive in and out and with starting work at 7:30 its not too much of a surprise I don't get spotted much round here. I did see Chris from "Chris & Nik" a few months ago, but that was only cos I had slept in and it was about 8:30 when...

Nope, thats me. Where do you work to see in the car park?

That will be me. I work at Brookhouse, prob arrived late for work and had to park on the double yellows or something; if I get in early I hide the car away at the very back of the car park, but if im late its abandonment anywhere...

Guess it depends on the exact fault, a relay is only for the lights so wont affect the windows ect. check fuses on dash in passenger side. other than that i dunno.

Do what Edde says. I had this yesterday, my Xenons went out and I stuck my head under the dash to find the UCH and one of the relays had come loose, I pushed it back in - problem sorted. The UCH is located under the glovebox on the nearside, take a torch and stick your head right in the...

Actually the Tractions Control is a little better than you give it credit for, it applies the brake to the spinning wheel (im guessing by using the ABS circuit?) and that kind of acts like a LSD, its fairly abrupt and not exactly smooth as you would like on snow, but thats what its doing. I...

Defo the car; I had to get to Darwen from Preston this morning and the moment it approached snow/sleet on the roads it was fully naff. Think its a combination of a light car, wide tyres with a tread pattern more suited to dry/wet, powerful engine, low first gearing and a snatchy clutch. The...

Is this something to do with phase ones having longer gearing? My 182 does 35-38MPG on motorways @ 80ish. Never managed over 40mpg no matter what iv tried.

Passenger seat - only when empty, it appears to be the top half of the seat moving, the windscreen blower vent on the top of the dash - grabing this and moving it stops the rattle for a bit. Suspension struts when reversing with lock on. Thats about it. Its a 182 with 36k.

24K new front discs & pads (discs were ok, but had become rusty due to being unused for a few months). 36K - Front discs 10% worn, pads 80% worn. Rears needed both discs and pads. Interestingly I lowered the car on Eibach Prolines (don't care what anyone says, these defo do lower the car...

Just got Jean Claude back from the dealers following his 36k service. They replaced the worn down Barum Baravis (was fitted by a swine of a Renault dealer when I bought the car) with proper PE2's, they also did full 4 wheel laser alignment. The difference is astonishing. Pick your apex and...

Genius bulbs?

My sides hurt.

Turn the engine off and roll down a hill, use the hand brake to stop, this will tell you if its brake/wheel related rather than engine. If its making the noise all the time I would put money on a wheel bearing.

Went to Kwik Fit, all they can supply is them in 84 load rating, which is a pretty big difference in sidewall flex... Seriously cannot find them anywhere...

Apologies if this is plastered in numerous other threads but I took a look and couldnt see exactly what I needed. Pilot Exalto 2 for a 182 Cup, whats the exact tyre spec, I have a feeling its 205-45-16-V 91 (with the 91 being the load rating) But if this is correct where the hell do you get them??
