Was probably me mate, for some strange reason i'm always round merry hill lol

I dont think ive seen over 25 mpg in mine, but tbh 90% of the time i really can't be bothered to drive around in 6th as the engine is gutless between 2 - 3k rpm.

albi may have been me, what time roughly?

hmm i debating whether I need a new one myself, problem is my car is a 56 plate and just out of warranty. The gearbox never crunches, but just seems relunctant to go into 3rd and 4th when giving it hell, that is both up and down the box. Even going down the box, heel and toeing it seems far from...

yeah it did

neither had I :) gave me the hazards before he turned off down illey lane.

7:10am. Anyone off here? Looked good from the back.

as per title, around 5:30pm today. I made a feable attempt at trying to do a thumbs up.

I had a look at the corsa before I bought my 197. I found it to be one of the most boring cars I've ever driven. The interior is pretty nice though and it feels pretty well made. I'm sure with a few mods it could be livened up a bit, but out of the box I found the 197 to be far more...

23 - 197 (bought 3 days ago) had a 172 before that

yeah mate :) i did a poor attempt at a thumbs up as I nearly drove into the back of the bloke in front of me but she was too busy looking where she was going to notice lols

spotted yesterday (10/09) around 5pm just going past the motorcycle shop while i was stuck in traffic.

Lol man, I rang adrian flux to get a quote on a nissan 200sx I was going to buy and they quoted me £921, that was with all mods declared (car was running 350bhp). I'm in b63 btw.

Renault mate, doesn't seem too expensive for 5 litres, think i paid just over £30 last time I went down there. That was roughly 2 months ago.

the renault stuff, elf i think it is, 5w 40.

lol definitely top the oil up. Unless you want to ruin the bottom of your engine like I did.

yeah same mate, on the industrial estate (dunno the road name, first time i'd been up there) i was in the flame 172.

Only ones I saw were the williams and the rb 197 (late afternoon) , which both seemed to be driven pretty well.

Who's was the liquid yellow 197? :) Noticed the clio sport sticker in the window. Looked pretty wicked tbh.

Loud by the sounds of it :rasp:

the worst that can happen is you put the wrong .rst file on, which is what i did and ruin the the software on the ecu so the car won't start. Luckily paul from rs tuning fixed it for me and now i'm all up and running again.

Can anyone recommend any companies located in the midlands that'll reflash an ecu to an original map for a clio 172? Ballsed up with the rs tuner the other day and basically the immobiliser is preventing me from restoring my backup so I can't use my car (which I need to use daily lol). If...

ok mate. i'll pm you my email address, if you do have them that'd be great.

anyone :( otherwise I can't use the car and failing this i'm going to have to buy a new ecu.

bump

I urgently need a backup of 7300 5410.rst if anyone has one. Had a bit of a balls up and the backup i thought I had has conveniently gone missing. There aren't any listed on fastchips so i'm kind of stuffed at the mo. thanks in advance

Anyone know where I can test drive a 200 in the west midlands? Went to renault birmingham yesterday as I'm considering buying one to replace my problematic 172. Was told there isn't a single one anywhere to have a test drive. Unless of course this is just typical sales person talk.

Was speaking to a beverly down rensault bham lee, your name was brought up, apparently your a "proper renault geek" lmao.

does the maxogen use the existing cold air feeds?

Learn from my mistake, this was exactly what my car was doing before the oil pressure dropped while i was driving and 2 of my conrods broke, along with the crank. £2500 it cost me for everything in the end (few other bits needed doing so i figured i'd do it all in one go). Now I check the oil...
