Oh & not to mention that the Courtesy car I got given was absolutely filthy, I had to clean it myself it was that bad inside & out. & the fuel cap wasn't attached to it, someone hadn't done it up.

I did actually try that line as I was thinking about getting one haha. I see what you're saying Mark, In fairness it has put me off owning another, the way it's been dealt with is pretty bad in fairness, especially as no one ever gets back to you when they say they're going to. If it gets any...

I understand that, but I imagine you can see where I am coming from? Firstly I get blamed for something that I played no part in secondly I'm not paying top dollar for a car I cannot even drive because of a fault of Renaults? If you get in a taxi & the taxi breaks down before you get to your...

One of the main things I'm thinking is should I be paying or paying in full the HP on a vehicle I have no use of because of an issue not relating to me?

HAHA! Well they aren't sure, I said to the chap in service if they can get me something else I'd be happier with as it's gutless. Get overtaken by wild life! Got mugged by a Daihatsu Copen <1L in it the other day. Emotional.

Chaps, Some of you may of seen my thread regarding my 200. As it currently stands there was an issue with the clutch & flywheel which after the dealer blaimed on me has been found to be a factory fitment issue. Ren UK are paying for this but the new issue is that the Flywheel is on back order...

You've kind of answered your own question there... The fact is they are a budget tyre which are never as good. You tend to find how good your tyres are when you push them.

Pov spec ditch finders. Your tyres are the only thing between your car & the deck so it pays not to buy ditch huggers.

My favourite is Pearl White hense why I own one. But I love the racing blue's & storms as well.

I haven't (touch wood) had any issues with my gearbox (2012). I think it often depends on how sympathetic the driver is.... But there is no doubting that it isn't the strongest of boxes.

Update: This is being covered by the warranty in its entirety. But unfortunatley the Flywheel is on back order and they don't have an ETA on when it's going to arrive :boring:

My Pearl White 200 will be forsale soon which has cup packs, recaros, speedlines etc. - Buying a house :(

I would. As I said the guy in service openly admitted to me there's a mod for it as its a recognised fault.

Apparently it's a well known fault with the peddle and they have a modification for it...

I am involved in warranties for a living and it's a good job as they also tried telling me I needed new brake pads (which were replaced last month). Feel for those who don't have any knowledge to work with.

Always use the hand brake and put in neutral at the lights etc...

My 200 went in for a "squeeky clutch peddle" known fault apparently.. Anyway I recieved a call from the service dep explaining that apparently my clutch & fly are shot. Obviously I asked to inspect these parts as the car has only done 10k & isn't even a year old yet! Having viewed them myself...

Mine was parked in the lower paddock. P white 200. GF12

I still do a bit here & there but like living life too much. Too many people think they can drive & a little bit of knowledge is dangerous.

This.

Mines been alright. I've done over 10k in mine & it's developed the squeeky slave which it's going in for in a few weeks. The guy I've dealth with @ Maidstone Renault has been good as gold.

My mrs's had a problem like this. She went along to renault and was looking at the new clio when she got her polo. She mentioned that I drive a 200 and the dealer told her she must have got it wrong because I couldn't afford it?

Sorry mate but this simply isn't true. I worked for them for 3 months when I lost my old job and needed something to tye me over. I ended up walking out from working for them. Yes they can source good quality parts i.e brembo etc but the research that goes in to that part isn't good at all from...

I'm a big fan of yours noddie!

12 plate 200 FF + cup etc 10,363

Not in the same league as most on this thread but thought i'd share.

Mines cupped & fine on the motorways, I have driven it down to bath from Kent which is a few hours in one go and it's been fine. Mines had the silencers removed as well & still wasn't bad. My commute is down b roads & country lanes which the 200 is perfect for. It does get pulled around a...

LOL @ 214bhp. Lovely car never the less bud.

Mclaren weren't gunning for top speed. They wanted to make the ultimate drivers car. The P1 is far from an upgraded MP4-12C.

What would you go for? I can get both at a good price...
