My initial 203 bhp run was in August after 3 months and just under 5k miles. Will probably still be a little tight at 2k I'd have thought. Mine at close to 10k was a different engine completely to when it was new, it really come alive with miles just like like both my Clios did.

Single only, UK offside, and yes it's the lower light unit. The nearside just has a reflector fitted.

12,500 mile/annual service intervals, circa £150 a pop for each of the first two.

YES! Yes they are! At Surrey Rolling Road mine registered 203 bhp before Mountune, 217 bhp after. Forget what Ford say, they are 200 bhp all the time you want it. I challenge anyone to be able to get the time limited overboost to cancel, it's not possible unless you're trying to hit 140 mph on...

Had my Nexus 5 since Christmas, they came out a few months before IIRC. Although I'm sure others can/will, I personally can't find fault in it at all. Fast, crisp, clean, just lacking a little on the speaker and camera front which matters not one single bit to me. Given what it's capable of...

I'll be interested to see the official weight...it should be much lighter than standard really...if not, what's the point of spending all that money on a Titanium exhaust if the car's still fully loaded?

It dawned on me this morning that I've had this thing for almost a year already! Remarkably, I still feel as though I own a 'new' car and get just as fired up about going for a blast (which I still do quite often just for the hell of it) as I did 18,000 miles ago. Full write up with charts...

I think this reinforces how RS have moved away from the Clio as being a true genuine RS model. On the Megane they'll throw expensive and undoubtedly firm dampers at it, give it some proper rubber, save a little weight with some expensive options, make it sharp and focussed. Until they show...

10% of insured value as the excess is what I've had before so £1,800 sounds about right.

I'd like to know too, I paid £200+ for my last outing!

Nothing more than you'd normally check, fluids, tyres etc. Apart from coming in hot in the first session to set the pressures to 36/26 I did nothing to it all day long. Only thing different to standard was a CG lock. Next time out I'll do exactly the same again...except drive it harder.

He he he. Caught me out as well, I just leave it on one notch down from the windscreen setting now.

I've stock with standard pressures when hot N0ddie. They worked fine for me, no adverse wear or excessive shoulder scrubbing. Stays very neutral unless you really provoke the back I've found.

Change the air direction setting to something other than windscreen and it'll stop doing it each time you start up or turn the fan on...it's to stop you misting up.

What's the difference? All I can add is that I only ever feel it on the way out...never on the way in.

Ouch! Back together now Joe?

Sometimes I think I can feel this at work. Around slow roundabouts giving it a boot full on the exit, enough to spin up the inside wheel but not enough to overwhelm them both, the inside wheel slips a little then just stops and grips. Seeing as the throttle input's the same I put that down to...

I don't think it's quite that high a difference myself. So far I'm averaging over 17k miles around 38mpg. In my 200 over 24k miles (and including 3 trackdays more than I've done in the ST) I averaged 34mpg. What's harming the ST's mpg for me at the moment is how easy it is to plant your foot...

Does that include the start and end of the journey or was it a reset while cruising at 70? Almost any car can achieve that level of mpg while on a cruise...as maintaining a constant speed uses very little fuel (speed dependent of course).

48 litre capacity so whatever that works out to be. As for trip computer accuracy, it is on or around 3 mpg optimistic. That's from calculating the actual mpg and comparing to the trip computer on every fill-up for the last year.
