I practiced purposefully locking up and releasing just to get a feel for what comes through the pedal.
From that practice, I feel comfortable with them now. At times, if Im well clear with no-one behind me, Ill brake as hard as I can without locking the wheels to keep up with how the feel...
Bought a Focus and Mondeo last year and in both cases the dealer chucked the keys at me and said "take it home so your wife can see it" (which meant a total of about 90 mins each time). It was an independant dealer though, not an official Ford one.
Id say the drive you got was pretty sh**!
...almost crunched this morning.
Mini-roundabout...bugger all coming...and going less than 10mph...understeered like I was on...well...ice oddly enough...straight towards the kerb...but the front bit at the last minute and it pulled round nicely.
Sh*t myself, bearing in mind all the other...
Not sure which one youll need but this is everything off of my standard Cup ECU barcode label;

Hope that helps...?
Hed end up sending you a counterfeit cheque for more than the agreed sale value, saying that you could keep half the difference if you release the car before you get confirmation the cheques cleared.
Of course, the cheque is never gonna clear...
Im not worried about life, cost, or even grip levels...its what they do to the feel of the car.
I want to make sure that the "adjustability" and feedback is preserved...
No ones got a full set on a Cup then I take it...?
Exact same for me, common problem apparently, not even sure theres a definite fix (well, not one that ALL Renault dealerships know about anyway).
Booking mine in soon...

Ask for Jonathen, he was really helpful when I ordered mine.
Im pretty certain the ECU you get from Hillpower is exactly the same as the R-Sport one.
Also, with the VAT and delivery it comes to about £240...
Well, Ive got 6,500 on the clock now and it does it much less than when it was <1,000. For me, its not enough of a problem to have to take it into Renault and be without my car for a day etc. etc.
The gearbox seems to have improved with age too...though thats probably just through...
I read recently that the governments re-assessing the differential between duty on LPG compared to petrol/diesel...with a plan to hike up the duty on LPG now that more people are using it. Something to do with the reduction in duty (compared to petrol) being disproportionate to the reduction in...
Can you not get them to accompany you to your car and walk round it before you leave it in their care...asking them to point out ALL damage that pre-exists? Then anything thats apparent when you collect it, that had not been picked up when you dropped it off must have been their fault.
Kind of...
Just remembered I heard this on the Motors TV "MaxiTest" I think it was. They also said that with the suspension changes, the rear wheels were "very keen to follow the front"...thats not very good now is it :(...what happened to the joys of lift-off oversteer...?
Havent been on the forum for a few days so was expecting the flood of 182 threads (following the Evo review)...makes for some very entertaining reading ;)
What I picked up from the article (think it was the Evo one...may have been somewhere else) was that there were probably plans originally...
