Yeah... Ive already considered this... Had a new Megane as a courtesy car for a couple of days and I really liked it, in fact I dont even mind the looks, so a 225bhp turbo one would be great! Wonder how cheap wed be able to get one?!

They have?! When? Tell me more...

Well, the new 182 uses 205/45 R16s and handling is superb (going off road tests), so these are probably the ones to go for...

All the time... its not uncommon for gearbox problems on the 172 & Cup! My mates mk1 172 crunches like a mailto:b@stard">b@stard when you change to 3rd and it;s the synchromesh thats gone.

Answered your other post...

Its Elf 10W40 semi-synthetic from the factory, but any good 10W40 semi-synth that meets ACEA A3 standards will do. Some people switch to fully synth after a while (Id give it 10k miles) and in that case a 5W40 is fine, again ACEA A3 rated, just check the label on the bottle.

Probably something vibrating... most likely a heatshield... Have a quick look underneath and have a little tap/rattle at all the heatshields at the front, youll probably find one of them is either a bit loose and/or too close to the chassis or exhaust/downpipe. Another thing is the wires for...

I aint seen you yet matey...

He means his "frog like" mk1 172

p.s. What "difference" do you expect to feel after an oil change?!

Well they run with Elf 10W40 semi-synthetic as standard, but any good 10W40 semi that meets ACEA A3 standards will do as a replacement. Changed mine for the first time last night (at 6k miles) and used 10W40 Castrol GTX Magnatec. When Ive got more miles on I will be switching to fully...

Thats just an old wives tale...

Yup, he gets my vote too... Needed a new pair of tyres for the Cup and Yozza was both comptetive price wise and can definately deliver fast!

Well, one with more power and/or torque than normal is obviously better...

Changed my oil & filter tonight, and when I was messing about under the bonnet I decided to see how much I could move the engine with my hands... Answer is quite a lot actually! :o Now nothings actually loose as such, its all bolted up tight and seems secure, but the engine mounts seem very...

Yup... thats what happened to mine! :sick:

Mine did it after about 5k miles!

We (the club members) get a discount on Speedline alloys apparently... See the discount section for info!

Id have thought it would... When I got my Cup (from new) I was a bit dissapointed at first as it was very quiet and didnt really have a "note" as such. This was in total contrast to my 306 Rallye which had a lovely exhaust note as standard and sounded superb for an original system. However...

Yes... that highly regarded GTi... NOT!!! The 206 is a poor relation to the other great hot Pugs!
