Thanks for the info guys , I may possibly be referring to the alloys that were fitted to all 182's (sorry , not very well up on these cars) ... are some anthracite and some silver ? I have recently been given a company car that I simply cannot refuse (latest Z4) so I am intending to sell my 172...

Re: Archived Post from old forum NO they don't ! Many V6 owners also have a 172/182 for daily use and even more have upgraded from a 172/182 ... in fact , it appears to be the other way round as RobFenn perfectly illustrates this in his follow-up post ! I have seen many 172/182 drivers look at...

Hi all , just looking for some info on the LY Clio Sports ... How many were made / how many are left ? Are they much more expensive than standard cars ? / How often do they come for sale ? Did they do any other rare colours such as acid yellow ? Also , can someone please explain the "full fat"...

My Ford Escort had a heated front screen back in 1989 and it was standard equipment ! Don't know about the newer Fords but mine used to take an eternity to clear the front screen of solid ice , it was fine for a light frost and excellent at de-misting the interior side of the glass though. I had...

As usual , I parked my beloved Clio V6 at the opposite end of the empty car park and , as usual , upon my return , someone had still parked next to me ! Normally it is a rusty old van or a £150 chav-mobile-special ! but last night it was a beautiful , immaculate , blue 182 cup with anthracite...

Renault DO have tools , diagnostic and mechanical that 99% of other garages don't ! ... i had 9 different testers on my car , from the RAC Man's to a top rolling-road performance centre , 2 of them even showed the wrong code! ... took it to Renault , he plugged it in , there and then , and 6...

If it's driving fine , I can't see a problem , especially on older higher mileage cars , after a good run and then dropped straight back to idle the oil pressure light can blink on and off , as it gets older you may find it starts doing it at idle regularly,( just low oil pressure , but...

Yeah , they are terrible at low revs , but if you drop the clutch in 1st , just at 2000RPM , gradually add throttle to the red line , then change to 2nd and full throttle through all the gears ... it should go like hell ! cos you'll always be high in the revs ... acceleration between 5000rpm and...

If not perfectly straight ,in 1st gear , my 172 will spin the wheels slightly at about 500RPM at full throttle without any clutch manipulation and on a dry road. on a wet / even a dampish road ... 1st gear is for parking only ! the wheels will begin to loose grip at 3000rpm and 1/2 throttle ...

You don't want it back regardless (in my opinion) these are superb cars but are also a single-impact device (in my opinion) , ... Renault won't repair it so it's immediately a cat D ... if it is aftermarket repaired to a high standard it will probably be over - engineered with regards to future...

Re: ***How much is my car worth?*** I think it's worth £5k but you may have to wait a while to find the right buyer, if you had to sell it tomorrow , I still think it's worth £4000 , try "we buy any car" they offered me a decent amount and when I didn't take it they increased it by £400's ...

God , it's nearer £300 for the coils for the phase 1 v6! robbin bast+*ds! ... If you've had a lot of moisture , check ALL the connections of all fuses and their holders as they tend to corrode badly in even the slightest excess moisture enviroment (ie. cover missing/pooling water) ... be sure...

Yeah , i'd like to bet it's one of the coils ,like I said , not sure if you have to change the whole pack , but disconnecting them would confirm it is the coil before you buy the full pack as I bet it's expensive and being electrical ... non-returnable! (at Renault) your syptoms are accurate...

It's one of the coils ... but unfortunately , if you're still driving it , the petrol pouring out of the unfired cylinder will quickly eat your cat ! ... sorry ... so it's probably both ! Just driving home on a damaged coil can destroy a cat! pull each coil wire off whist the engine is running...
