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...

An update. Got the car back an hour ago. This is the garage report of what they did. So that's what they did. The car drives fine now, and the mpg has increased. Although i only drove it for around 45 mins. However when fully warm it's still really rough at idle. And still making the weird...

No, for 1. But that's only what i saw from a quick search on here. I also found that someone got 4 from ebay for £22... The car has a 6 month warranty, but it only covers certain things going wrong. I would like it fixed though, but wonder what else will crop up because of this. It's a pain i...

It seems they are £125 from renault but can be had for much less elsewhere. On the plus side it appears to be a very easy job from what i have read. Which if that is the problem with my car i'm thinking the garage may say i buy the parts and they fit them or something. Which isn't what i need...

Thanks for reply. Well it wouldn't restart this morning, but it did when the recovery guy turned up. But it just spluttered and stalled again. It did restart but i had to hold the revs up so he could test the battery. It was very noisy, with the sound travelling along the exhaust. If you know...

Hmm after some searching it seems that it also could be an injector? The flashing emissions light means that it's more than likely that than plugs?

Hi, I've had my 182 just under 3 weeks now and today it decided to play up, die and now wont start:( Before i get to what happened today i will mention a few things that now all seem to link up. When i picked the car up from the dealer on the 3rd December the emissions light came on and...

What a lovely selection :)

Not had her long. And not been able to give her a good clean and take some good pics due to being dark when i finish work and the poor weather. Roll on the spring. The rear tyres are soon to be replaced with some rainsport 2's to match the new fronts. A few bits need doing here and there...

Looking good! Amazing just how much difference that 3m kit has made to your headlights. They look brand new. Can't wait to get mine done after xmas:) Car looks great. The engine cover is much better also. The only thing i'm not keen on the colour coded bullets. I think they look better in silver.

Well i got one last week. Done about 350 miles in it and loving it:) Such a fun little car. Anyway here's a few pics of it i took after a clean today. It needs a polish but it's too cold at the moment for my poor hands! It did have some 195/45 hankook ventus prime 2's on the front but i...

The 5k kick is nice yea:) It needs a few things doing like the headlights for eg. And i do intend to do them as the results i have seen on here with that 3m kit are pretty fantastic to be fair. Also the front headlight washers leak, but again seen a cheap fix on here. I already fixed the...

Hope you don't mind dragging this thread up but as reading it i realised that the 182 you test drove is now mine lol! Bought it a week ago for £3200. They gave it a service, inc new rear shocks, front discs and pads and funnily enough re-gassed the aircon :) I'll get some pictures up of it n...

Heated screens are a godsend. My old 1991 Fiesta RS Turbo had one. A great feature!

Hi, I've thought about getting a Renaultsport Clio mk2 for a while now and have now decided to get one. I've just turned 40 and have decided after years of sharing the misses car i should get myself a motor again. Wanted something with a bit of bite thats also not crazy expensive to run, as it...
