Who here owns a Renaultsport?

Just picked my 182 up this afternoon. Made up with it!

Well...I was until I just got in it and spotted the engine management light! Plugged my reader in and it's thrown up error P0130 so it seems like a lambda sensor so it's gonna have to go back tomorrow!

gutted :(

sorry to hear that mate, hope you get it sorted
 
Just taking it back now, hope it's an easy fix!!

From what I've read on CS they can be a bit temperamental.

After fitting my Milltek Cat Back my emissions light came on a few times when sat in traffic/at a queue for the pumps. Sorted itself and been fine since.
 
Could do with a little help with my RS Tuner guys. Henk took around 2 days to reply to my last email but if anyone here knows what they are doing I'd happily listen.

Plugged the RS Tuner into my car..

VIN = VF1CB22xxxxxxxx

Software Version - 8100

Calibration version - 7803


Am I right in thinking that I need this? http://www.fastchip.nl/Clio-2/cal_8200_7804_RON98/Detailed-product-flyer.html

Does that include everything I need? (.rst & .cal?)


Thats just the .cal file, you need the software / firmware as well (.rst).

Basically you need to flash the .ecu with the updated software which includes the OEM .cal file (.rst). Once done you then flash the performance .cal

Your 182 has the same software version as mine had before upgrading to the 8200 7804 software.

Yeh i've read that myself. I took it back and the dealer replaced the lambda sensor so all's good again now!

Next on the list is a metallic vibration from the exhaust under acceleration which hopefully is just a heatshield that needs fixing!
 
Hi guys, looking at getting a clio 172 cup and was wondering if anyone has any good car insurance company recommendations?

I'm 21 with 0 NCB but have been driving since 17.

Best I've found so far is £1900

I've ALWAYS found Elephant and Admiral to be the cheapest on the cars I've had by far. However the trick is to add you parents as named drivers as this brings the policy down savings you loads. It doesn't have the same effect when you do it with other companies. On my z4 at 21 adding my parents saved me around 500 IIRC.
 
Keep us up to date on this one matey.
Do I need a code or something off you in order to purchase a license online ?

Hi mate, hadn't forgot about our arrangements just been I'll and mega busy this week at work. Managed to take the car out for a drive last night and the new map has done the trick. More urgency low down and nowhere near as rough in the mornings.

I need to give you a code so you can obtain your licence (unlock code).
This will probably take about 2 days to arrive by email.
Then you need to plug your car in to see which files you need to download.
Then the flashing takes about 45 mins in total.

Probably easier if you come and take the tuner away providing I get it back as I need to sell it on?
 
Any way you want to do it bud, I'd probably prefer to flash the ECU at your place just simply for the fact that now you have done it once that officially makes you more qualified than me to do mine ;) :p
 
Yeah no problem, I'll get you the code emailed tonight at some point.

Once you've got the unlock code I'll let you know when I'm free.
 
Yeh very sorry mate. Been horrifically busy with one thing and another myself.
I did get your e-mail.
I'll try and get round to ordering a code tonight, you said a couple of days didnt you for it to arrive ?

In which case could we do the remap this weekend ?
 
No problem was just making sure you still wanted it or I'd stick the RS Tuner on ebay.

Took him just under 2 days to reply with a code. Im free Saturday morning before 12:30 if thats any good to you? Should be available Sunday but not 100% just yet.
 
So i have had an accident in my seat ibiza :(

There is a chance it might get written off (hope not) I will probably get £1500 for it if im mega lucky. How much money would i need to add to thet to get a non wrecked 172? If its more then £1500 ill leave it. As much as i would love a nice 172 im a full time Student and only have a part time job so money is tight

Check insurance first before getting one.
My 2000 172 cost more to insure than my last car (2001 Audi S3)
I honestly thought it would save me a bit with not being as fast but I think due to the majority of 172 owners being young and inexperienced = lots of dead clios and lots of money to insure. :/
