Just bad luck my friend.Ive done 46,000 miles from new, and havent had any real problems.

 

[jongsr4]

I never had a single problem with mine (apart from the hazard lights getting stuck on lol) so seems youve just been unlucky

 

[Peperami]

Lol, ive had every problem in the book with my cup, but have discovered that,
touch wood, once the problems are out the way its a sweet car.

The top three problems seem related? lol

 

[Panthro]

Yeah I wish I never bought one cos I got a payrise and I want a Supra now.

 

[BRUCE182]

Tried selling mine on e-bay a couple of weeks ago,so i guess the answear must be yes.

you got a duff car mate, happens now and again, most dont have these problems till 100k plus. Only thing gone wrong with the cup is needing new bulbs,

the steering rack has gone

Hmmmm, who told you this? get another opinion, from a different garage....

 

[polarbert]

You've been stuck with a Friday afternoon car mate, mines been fine besides some minor issues.

gearboxes and clutches, aint heard of them being problematic before on 182s.

mines never been unreliable, had some warranty issues, usually shock absorbers, never been not driveable. 26k miles since June 04.

 

[JayR]

Im happy with mine. If i was really that pissed off with it for whatever reason then id sell it for summin else.

What was the problem with the Steering racks?. I have some funny noises that Im starting to think could be rack related....

 

[Tom_E]

when i turn the car on it knocks when i turn the steering wheel even if i am not moving, n it does it bad when i am on full lock pulling on2 my drive. not gud

 

[Ross M]

^ thats the same with them all .... just the fact theres a large 2.0 engine in a clio.
also your first 3 problems seem related ? possibly w+t with the way its driven ?
also reliabilty is good in a way as the engine has never broken down eh ? its just the build quality these problems come from.
