197 won't do 40mpg. Not unless all you do is drive down hill. Probably the most fun when pushing on out of your options. Build quality is average.
Megane; reliability engine wise is pretty good providing it's not been mapped and hammered. Electrics and window reg's are problematic though...
That is dreadful workmanship, absolutely appalling.
And to charge £120 to fit it is nothing short of a total rip off.
I'd be looking for a new 'mechanic' to work on your car in future. I wouldn't let him top up my screenwash the 2 bob pirate.
Mate apart from a pair of shorts, I was wearing everything I took and I was still f**king frozen.
3 t-shirts, a jumper, a tracksuit top and a hoodie! Lol

Mooched about until about 9am, Got showered and ready, watched about an hour of the morning session, went and cooked some bacon/sausage sandwiches, then went on the go karts, then walked around the cars on display, then had lunch, then went on track lots in the afternoon, then drank some beers...

And if you ever change your car, you can...
I'm a twice a day man. But on occasions like this I'll make an exception and drop to one per day. Reluctantly.
If there were no showers, I wouldn't be going!
Are you on AST's Cubbington?
We played with Sam's at silverstone and they are SO adjustable it's frightening. The tiniest tweaks were making big big differences. Quite remarkable really.
Yes. They build some of the most powerful 2.0 duratec's in the world! There's cars from all over the globe in there. When they mapped my ST, there was a FRS from Africa in the workshop.... lol!
