    LY 182 in Enfield at about midday today and an Inferno

    Was behind me on Carterhatch Lane for a bit then passed me on the A10. Cliosport sticker and a plate starting with D1. Lovely colour. Inferno on the A10 as well heading towards Enfield. 55 plate I think, around the same time.

    RB 182 in Welwyn GC and a blue 04 172 Enfield

    Spotted the 182 at about 12:15 in WGC - I think it had a CS sticker in the back window and some other stickers. The 172 was behind me on the Ridgeway being driven by a female at about 1245ish.

    182 Gearbox issue - no fifth gear. Advice please!

    Just driving home when the engine revs raced up all of a sudden, thought the car had jumped out of gear and found 5th gear had totally vanished. All the other gears work fine but the gearbox is making a right noise now. I've searched through the forum and there seems to be various thoughts on...

    182 - Renault engine management software update...

    Took my car to Renault this morning due to steering wheel vibration at about 70 mph and occasionally getting an engine warning light come on. They've told me there's nothing wrong with the car mechanically (including wheels and tyres) but it has a faulty upstream oxygen sensor (I think that's...

    Just driving home when....

    On the M25 driving home, I'm in the centre lane minding my own when the traffic in the fast lane starts slowing up. A van pulls out in front of me from the fast lane without indicating so I take a bit of evasive action, avoid said van, curse a bit - not at the driver I'll add, then carry on...

    No claims bonus

    I've just sold my ST24 and am thinking about getting another 2nd car at some point in the future. In the meantime is it going to be a problem if I'm still registered as insured on the car (i paid in full right at the start of the year) in order to keep my no-claims going or do I have to tell the...

    Interior tailgate panel removal

    Does anyone know how the plastic panel on the inside of the car - covering the boot lock and base of the tailgate - is removed? I can see one screw holding it on and presume the rest is clips but I dont want to just yank it off and break anything so thought I would check first. It's a 182. Any...

    Whatever happened with the 172 Cup options?

    Just reading that 'Difference between a 172 and 172 Cup' thread and I had forgotten about the options list for the Cup. Anyone remember? In the official brochure it was stating options for roll cages, upgraded brakes, suspension (I think) fire extinguishers etc. Did anything ever come of that?

    At what point did this become a good idea?

    So I was just perusing the bay of E to see what the prices of parts are like for the old barge, when I came across this: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/MONDEO-MK2-CUSTOM-ONE-OFF-BONNET-BLACK-ST24-ST200-GHIA-/160457764323?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM And he is charging for it as well.

    172 Cup Southbound on the M6

    PF03ORS (I think) with Trophy wheels. At about 1730-1800. I could not see the driver as he was totally obscured by a blue hoodie. Headlights and fogs both on in the bright sunlight and rolling with his fellow hoodies, innit bruv, braaaaap etc.

    Changing 182 rear shocks.

    My car needs a new rear drivers side shock absorber as it is leaking. I have read the guide on here for changing them on a 172 and it seems to be quite a straightforward job. Can someone advise me if this guide is the same for the 182 as well - jack car up, remove two nuts, change over shocks...

    Got hit yesterday.

    As per title really. Had a youg girl smash into the back of my 182 at about 20 mph yesterday afternoon on the A10 near Enfield. Her Ka is a bit of a mess and probably a write off. Mine is worse than it looks - boot floor badly bent up, rear panel buckled, underside is bent up with all the...

    How long do No-Claims Bonuses last?

    I'm thinking about getting another car and i have a couple of years no-claims on another policy seperate to the one i have for the Clio. I have not used this policy since 2003 so is the bonus still applicable or has it run out? Cheers.

    Climate control/heater stopped working.

    Just gone out in the car to find it has packed up. When i press 'Auto' the display comes on as normal but all I get is a little whirring noise then nothing. Anyone else had this problem and how big a job is it time wise? Luckily the car is still under warranty. Cheers.

    Can someone tell me if my 182 was supposed to have had it's air and cabin filters changed at this service interval (a whopping £300.00 at Renault Enfield! Although that did include tracking)? It says in the service history that they are supposed to be changed at 12,000 miles but my car is on...

    182 Hazard warning lights....

    Won't turn off. Sitting in my car waiting for my girl to finish work and there was a single click from somewhere in the dash and my hazards are now constantly on. I think it's the actual switch as when its pushed in they go off but when you let go they come on. I wouldn't mind but i have never...

    182 Traction control/ESP.

    I normally drive round with the ESP switched on but as an experiment I switched it off the other day to see if it made any noticeable difference. After a dirty great big wheelspin from a standing start the car seemed to pull a bit harder through the gears and felt sharper (if that is the right...
