Ill be sending mine off when my dam V5 finally arrives. I do have a few questions though. They ask for the original V5, Im a little reluctant to send that to them. They also want the original purchase receipt. Scudetto, did you send the originals or were copies adequate? Ive got a piccy...

Youre not wrong JonC. While I was waiting for my car I hired a 1.0 litre Yaris for a month. It helped me out when it came to running the Clio in though, as I was used to driving round at such low speeds.

40 minutes and counting. Time to find a newspaper and a not so comfortable seat!! That should kill another 10 mins. ;)

I picked an identical car up a few weeks ago. I kept it below 3.5k until 625 miles then started to up the revs from there on. Ive almost covered 900 miles now, but Im still keeping it away from the high revs, most the time. Its so hard to do. I think having a Easy Renta car Yaris has helped calm...

My last two cars have been black. And although blue is the best selling car colour, there appears to be more silver cars on the road than any other, could be because blue has different shades!! Anyway, I went for blue, which is equally as hard to keep clean as black. It looks great with the...

If you are happy with the car then who cares. You cant go worrying about stuff like that. The guy at work is probably just trying to wind you up. Just enjoy your nice shiny new car :) Im sure I could have paid less for the alarm I had added to mine, but to be honest I dont care. The car...

Cannock Staffs. Im going to try Sutton Park first, as the one that used to be in Stafford is no longer a Renault dealer. I wont be taking it to the one in Digbeth though. They wouldnt even return my calls or let me book a test drive on a weekend. Even though I was going to purchase the 52...

Right, I think its sorted. Debs called them for me, as I thought hearing me a 3rd time might start to p**s them off. They told her exactly what it says in griffs letter. Except that if I send the docs off to Renault they will send me back the warranty details. As the car is in for rattling...

Thats what I thought griff, Ive got a collegue calling up asking the same question to see what answer they get. When she said that cars from Malta get the full 3 years and cars from withing the EU dont I almost fell off my chair.

Help. Ive just called Renault customer services to be told that I only have a 1 year warranty on my car because it is an EU import and that had the car come from Malta I would have got 3 years!! Is this correct? The car came from Holland. Any help would be much appreciated.

I almost placed a deposite down on an RS towards the end of last year. The company I worked for was in a bit of a state at the time so I bottled it. They went under in January and I lost my job. Thank god I didnt do it. I got the Clio because it does everything I want and was cheap as chips...

I have to agree about the French car thing, it does seem to often be the case. Im sure very few of us pick out cars on build quality alone. If that was a major concern to me Id never have had the 306 or the Clio. The Focus came with the job. Still, it was good enough to make me consider an...

Its not as solid as my last car, which was a 2.0 litre Focus, but its a lot better than the 306 GTi-6 I had before that. Ill be glad when I get the runners replaced on the passenger seat though, the rattle is really getting on my nerves.

Where is this Blue 172? It could be me :) I liked the colour of the Cup, but wanted all the toys. Sitting in traffic every day for over an hour you need things to keep you amused!! Lack of ABS was a concern for me. Ive driven an Elise and not having ABS is great providing other road...

Nice one Mike, thanks for that. Ive read different things about it in both these forums and others. Mine is from France or Holland, cant remember which as I looked at various places. I called my local dealer the other day and the person I spoke to in service thought I only had one year...

I got one from Motorpoint a couple of weeks back. They had both blue and black in stock as well as plenty of silver. I went for the blue. For what I paid I didnt expect much in the way of customer service, but they were more than adequate. I purchased the car on a Saturday and was told it...

I had a stock 220GTi. Didnt go round corners too well!! Didnt the 220 Turbo buckle its chassis?

I paid a visit to my local dealer this morning and had them take a look at it. The service manager called me over and said that its not too bad, it rattles a lot less than their courtesy cars!!! And!!! He also said the drivers seat does the same, but I dont notice that as Im sat in it. I got...

Mine is exactly the same. I even filled up thinking Id not got long left, when in fact Id got a good quarter of a tank.

They just didnt bother giving me one at all!! Ive got the service manual, audio instructions and various little bits, just no manual. Ive been promised it within 30 days, after which Im allowed to start kicking up a stink ;) But being lazy Ill probably just buy one.

Thanks. BTW, anything I need to know from the manual? Any idea what the tyre presures should be, I checked them at the weekend and the rears were at 37psi the fronts 32psi.

Hi, Im still waiting for my English manual to arrive and have one question. So far I think Ive got most things sussed, but Im a little stumped by one of the displays on the trip computer. It has a small picture of the car with a letter g above it? Can anyone tell me what this is please...

Work and back just over 40 miles.

I have driven both cars. I chose the Clio. It reminds me of my Pug GTi-6 a lot more than the Civic did. The Civic is a very fast capable car, as is the Clio, but it sounds like a hair dryer. Also I sit in traffic for hour each day and the Clio has the gadget factor to keep me happy...

lol Ian. Those are my thoughts also. Im not even up to 300 miles yet and the passenger seat is knocking in the runner nearest the handbrake. Its not doing it all the time, so Im going to put up with it a little longer, so at least when I take it in to get it fixed Ill have run the engine in.

Picked mine up last Wednesday. It also started to rattle today. It only seems to do it when its as far back as it can go. All my mates are over 6 foot!!!

Im from Cannock. Just North of Brum. Work just off 5 Ways Island. Was spending most my week at Great Barr, until last week. :( So whos is the Cup that parks near the police station or on top of 5 ways Shopping Centre car park?

I had a Sigma M34 added to the existing Renault Immobiliser. I just use the alarm key fob to lock/unlock the car. The alarm is designed to work with the existing immobiliser. Works a treat :) I think it cost me around £400 though. It has some very nice features though. Even though it...

Thank god I found this thread. Picked up a new Sport 172 a couple of days ago. Aside from the autochanger not being connected to the HU. Took all of 30 seconds to fix that!! Im still waiting for the manual to arrive. So Ive been struggling a little with all these fancy gadgets!!! Not had auto...
