Nice way to jump back in, the gentleman's choice... Well bar the plebby yet superb colour

Ah nice man, you're in far deeper than me with the Renaultsport history, lol! Been using mine loads recently, such a great little car

Amazing thread and fantastic work shipping the little baguette 🥖 out there and then using it with the knowledge that you've got the full maintenance plan on your plate too! Great pictures in their own right too, great eye! Keep it coming Can I ask to, is the 76 on the plate your DOB? Or...

Pretty sure they are yes... Wait no aren't the phase 1 narrower on the wishbone bolting points thinking about it

I'll check see if it's on my Odyssey register too, plate looks familiar. It was used hard 2017-2019 as well, over 60k miles in two years, overall mileage is similar to mine, 180k ish

Best colour, and it'll get under your skin for sure. If it's not rotten when you get under it then it's a keeper imo and the rest is just tinker time, likely a lot just bad earth's as it's perhaps been sat, so clean up all the earth straps through the car and see where you are then

Best colour, best looking MK2, great buy even if it is fucked 😍

Fucked, another winter and she's ditched, sniffing 180k now. Had to replace the OSF hub assembly due to the common ball joint pin hole ovaling issue, another oil and filter and a centre cap fucked off. Still love it, still use it all the time

Mega, I have no recollection of how basic it looked back when I joined, same with most internet stuff, because it always felt modern at the time the rose tinted was always firmly on... Queue teary nostalgic eyes

Thing is, proper Renault 3 door ones are pretty rare and everything seems sellers market these days....so I'm keeping mine..wuahhahahaha

They do look great, the maracana also look amazing on a phase 1 imo. Had mine on both over the years

For the sports, everything that's not a 182 cup, cup suspension pack or trophy is same, 54mm bolt spacing. The aforementioned models are 60mm bolt spacing

Still just in use, great car, and keep getting loads more comments at petrol stations, waves on the road etc etc, more this year than ever

@Jamess182 No worries mate, anytime as said and cheers for the custard creams 😍

Technically yes, but the gearbox was rebuilt couple of years ago with bolted diff and the top end of the engine was rebuilt after a cambelt failure at about 130k before my ownership It's not as clean as it looks in pics but it's solid which is a good thing!
