JC5 DCi 80 box is ur best bet, no stronger than the 172 box but better suited ratios

172 at 17 (bought it the week before my 18th lol!) sold it at 20, bought my ph1 @ 20 and then my 200 at 22

engine failed at 2500 miles, replaced under warranty now box is playing up 75 miles later lol back in it goes!

cheers man, see how long it lasts this time lol gearbox next no doubt!

back and running even better than it was previously! so far anyway!

as long as it has a meaty 220lbft mid range on it it will be awesome, none of this crap 170 odd or what ever a corsa vxr has!

i dont see what all the hate is about with modern turbo engines for hot hatches, if done properly they are awesome, the 200 doesnt need anymore power, it does need loads more mid range grunt though! a 200hp turbo charged engine would have been ideal! maby im just getting old!

+1 on checking the paintwork, my 200 is sound but my GW GT was terrible!

should be ready for friday, it better so i can run it in on knockhill on sunday haha!!!

lets hope my new engine is stronger than the old one, cars due back on friday and im doing crail on sunday LOL!

engine going in today! yey! finally!

yeah see what happens, im giving them the chance to put it right first as i genuinely love the car, if they dont put it right properly first time, i was told i would have it back within 10 days this is day 9 and still no sign of an engine so its not looking good! it will be going to the next stage!

think your confused, im the guy with the albi blue one ;)

well to be honest i dont see the problem if someone gives you a date then there is clearly an issue on there part if your a fool for beleiving it?

tried to phone the dealership all morning no answer from service dept at all, eventually phoned renault who chassed it up for me

7 days later engine still isnt here, so much for their original 1 day for an engine, then 5 days then 5 to 7 now on day 7 still no engine! patience is getting VERY VERY thin! just want the thing back!

new aditions sound cool, think ill reject mine and spec another! lol

shed

im looking forward to it! can see myself with a dci130 one when they come along!

sounds like your not used to anything other than acer, maby thats why ;)

my 50mpg mondeo is like having a dci back, its going to be me going thru all the pain again of getting used to the MPG which ive just finally learned to accept lol

its already authorised and being done, either way they drained it and it was full of metal shavings

pitty the car featured in the advert had a dodgey engine!

i loved mine, massive step up over a 172/182, obviously not in performance they are pretty much on par ive found, 200 handles and stops much much better though. engines character is different from a 172/182, its smooth and nice to drive low down which i felt the older ones wern't, mid range...

exactly! its not the end of the world. engine was authorised by renault warranty today and is on order, 5 days lead time, hoping to have it back in 10 days, they have extended my mondao hire car as i dont want a shitty curtisy car and quite like the mondao for what it is! crankshaft bearing...

cheers mate, no house but yeah 4.5yrs, out of the blue too!

totally was telling one of my mates a few days ago how life is just going to plan and couldnt be better! now a week later i just need to lose my job and thats everything screwed lol!!! that bad its quite funny now!

as above car is the last of my worries the now but hey ho life goes on! not bothered about anything to do with resale etc i just trade in after a year or 2 anyway, what i am worried about is the dealers complete lack of ability to carry out my 18k service on my dci without the car having to be...

a cost price megane rs would be nice compensation i recon haha

my gt was perect until the same garaged serviced it and it then went back in 4 times related to the service being bodged!
