I loved mine. But my wife had to drive it every day and hated it.
I genuinely believe that the dci’s are the best car that Renaultsport have produced. No cambelts to worry about, the clutches are proper strong, they go well, they’re reliable, good on fuel, fast (once mapped) they’re great...
I recently did a qashquai (sp) boot handle and spoiler in black. Came out absolutely perfect! Plenty of light even coats, left in the sun to dry on a hot day. Looked brilliant if I’m honest! Lol
The engines are the strongest part of these cars. They’re bomb proof of looked after properly.
I’d personally go on condition and history over what the speedo reads.
Just about to get one done.
Cambelt kit, Aux belt kit, water pump, coolant, oil/filter, Dephaser, cam end caps, new bottom pulley bolt.
all in for £620.

Thinking about this all day, and im done with Renault’s I think mate. To maintain them properly is M3 costs. The hubs, the belts, the rot on the older ones, it’s just mental.
Greetings all!
I’m wanting a cheap bit of fun for a bit (daily is a boring diesel barge) I’m properly torn between an Abarth 500 and a 197. I will do the odd track day in it but mainly just a bit of fun to use when I haven’t got to take lots of stuff to work and don’t need the estate car.
I’m...
My mates one had decays and a Wortec exhaust and sounded absolutely brutal.
I actually made a small child cry when I was showing off with it once thinking I was cool. I was not cool and her Dad definitely wanted to hurt me.
As someone has said, I detest Vauxhalls, they’re absolute s**t. But...
Andy if you need a hand getting the car and all the bits back to your house, I have a recovery truck and a big estate car. You drive one i’ll Drive the other. We’ll get it all back in to your garage in one hit and you can make headway with a plan. That you can control from your garage.

For tyres, I’m assuming you’re going to swap to 195/50/15’s as they’re about half the price of 185/55’s?
If you do, there is a VERY good seller of 195/50/15 Michelin pilot sports. He does 20 minutes of time trials on brand new ones and then sells them for £80 for a set of four with about 6mm...
Lovely. (Needs tyre shine)
I flippin loved that car. Does everything so well.
I could only get 25mpg out of it, tried my best, but Tim and Rob both got 30 out of it. f**k knows how.
You are an absolute scum bag.

They have probably used Autosmart silicone free Tyre dressing. We had the same issue at my last place of work.
We ended up having to paint the bumpers on a brand new 911 as the dressing had effectively sunk underneath the lacquer.
That was just one of a...
Also, I fitted these not long ago.
Evo 7 recaros with VBD adapter plates so they function properly. Although the handle to slide back and forwards was rattling and driving me mad. I was sat in a horrific traffic jam so if anyone needs the adjusters, they are in a hedge somewhere on the side of...
