Does anyone know what the triangular side indicators on the V6 255 are from - Espace, Laguna, etc? Or are they unique to the Vee (I doubt it!). Does anyone do any aftermarket ones, perhaps the crystal clear type? Just curious!

Lets hope my local dealer doesnt insist on having the car all day to "field test" the upgrade. Jeremy - are the dealers able to do this as a book/turn up & wait job?

I agree. Ive only had my Vee a little over a month and I cant say I really want to entrust it to my local Renault garage to reprogram when *touch wood* its running sweetly. Whats the score with recalls? Do you -have- to have it done? Does it invalidate anything if you dont? Is there a time...

Just got my letter in the post - wheres Jeremy when you need him, to explain what its all about and how serious it is...

evoactive - Ive emailed you (black Mk2 V6, bought last month!)

*LOL* typing blues..of course I meant mpg! I might add that it is indeed hard to feather the throttle when the engine sounds so great!!

Just an idle thought... Does a log exist anywhere on all the numbers/colours/owners of V6 255s in the club? A similar thing could be done for the Mk1 Vees too. I saw something similar done with the Fiat Coupe club when the LE came out. Just an idea to see who has what nos car and the spread of...

I get around 15-19 mph around town and, on a recent motorway trip up the M1 managed 26mph (with a heavy right foot too!)...

Me too - black gold Mk2 V6 255

Its true...and mine is already peeling off from the heat of the engine :@

The front ones were a doddle once Id removed the boot liner and fuse box cover with the DZUZ fastners. I was amazed at the size of the subframe and rad - no wonder theres no luggage space!

The carpet on my V6 255 appears to be stuck down, hence why I wondered if there was an easier way to get at the lights!

Great, thanks!

How do you remove the rear light clusters on the new V6? The manual talks about pulling up the carpet but this seems to be stuck down and I dont really want to go ripping it. Just that Ive got some SilverVision bulbs which Id like to fit...

Thanks Jeremy! Just read the article, culminating in EVO saying that the Vee is "...a modern classic". Cant wait to pick my (almost) new black V6 up tomorrow :D

Nice n constructive! *LOL*

*LOL* No, quite the opposite! Just as everyone posts problems with their 172s Im interested in problems with the Vee. A lot of rumours abound about it being unreliable and constantly back and forth with Renault. Cant say it bothers me too much - Ill be collecting mine this Friday hopefully. Just...

Ive seen a few posts scattered around the forum about warranty claims on the M2 V6 255. So, to all those Mk2 Vee owners, please post the faults/warranty work youve had done and at what mileage (plus any other niggles/gripes). Thanks!

Do you have a Mk1 or Mk2? Whats gone wrong with it so far?

Oh yes! Ill never forget the chase that ensued between the two racing drivers on the Renault V6 test day, resulting in much sideways action, drifting and the Vee in front on two wheels through the esses! Any doubts I had sabout the Vees handling soon disappeared

The Vee lulls you into a false sense of security! Its very smooth, very quiet and -very- quick. I test drove my (hopefully) future purchase a few weeks back and thought I was ambling along the dual-carriageway at 50-60...looked at the speedo and I was doing 80!!

Sorry to hear that....fcuking scumbags. Where abouts do you live if you dont mind me asking?

is it me or does the Vee feel slower than it actually is? There you are happily ambling along at what feels like 50, you look down and youre doing 80!!

Aha, thanks! Couldnt find it straight thru the site...weird! Ill PM SteveV6...

Any ideas why the V6 is no longer listed on http://www.carselect.lloydstsb.com/www.carselect.lloydstsb.com

specialK - Im busy hunting out a nearly new Mk2 Vee in black so hopefully Ill be increasing the nos of black Vees very soon!

Very nice! May I ask how much you paid for it and what sort of PX you got on your 172?

Question - if a 2002 02 172 in mint condition with 52k is up for £8k (which is a fair price...seen a few 02 reg 172s in dealers for £9995), how much does the mileage affect the price? For example, my own car, same year/age/colour has done 12k miles. Does this mean I could ask any more for it?

Its a long shot, but what about getting Performance GTI to do a feature on it (it must be pretty rare i.e. a cup with 200+bhp), maybe get LAD to show up and/or Roamer. Or, just a blatent one car, oh-and-its-for-sale feature article?? That sort of power plus the mods is a hot topic, and will...
