    What am I missing?

    Just a quick pointer - That's not RAM. The iPhone 4s has 512mb of RAM, that doesn't change on any of the models above. Think of it in PC terms. Your PC might have a 500gb harddrive for storage, and 4gb or RAM, 2 very differnet things.

    197 Buyers Guide

    All the 197s and 200s (bar CUP only models) feature Renaults keyless entry and go system. As long as you have the key with you you can open the door and start the car with the start button. Xenons are the best headlights, then projectors, then the standard headlights. With the Recaros -...

    What's the cheapest that's been paid?

    I paid £5,950 for my R27 4 - 5 months ago. I was well chuffed! Ok so it's done 57k, the wheels wanted a refurb, and it's got 3 ditch finders on it but the way I look at it is - I couldn't afford to pay the 8k that low mileage minters are fetching, but £175 for the wheels, and £400 for some...

    197 Buyers Guide

    Climate was an option, as were projectors and xenons. I don't think the cup spoiler was available when the R27 came out, so if it has one it's likely to have been fitted afterwards. Recaros were standard, however keep your eye out for wear on the bolsters, this can be fixed relatively cheaply...

    High Milage matters?

    Actually I don't. She wanted brand new, cheap to run, cheap to insure, 5 door, auto, not slower than wind errosion, £12.5k budget. The Ibiza was the best we could find. Anyway, back to the original poster, just buy it and stop worrying!

    High Milage matters?

    Just buy it! You won't lose out at resale as you are buying it cheaper in the first place. It's swings and roundabouts mate. Pitch it properly and price it right and it will sell no problem, i've never had an issue selling high mileage cars, as long as it's maintained well and priced...

    High Milage matters?

    Nope, not young - She's 29, insurance is only £200 on her new car. However she has no interest in going quickly at all, she wanted a nice looking, easy to drive car which is fair enough as far as I am concerned. I have a warm hatch to have a laugh in, she has the 5 door hatchback. It makes me...

    High Milage matters?

    In what way is that statement relevent? My missus just bought a £12.6k 1.2 Seat Ibiza, should I have been telling her that is almost decent Evo 9 money?

    Tick over but won't fire up

    If it won't start, it isn't ticking over. Ticking over is a term normally used when an engine has started and is idling. I presume you mean the engine TURNS over (as in the starter motor kicks in and spins the engine) but the engine fails to start?

    Cheap 200?

    I think it's great value. What's up with the spec? Cup pack, climate control, projectors. Ok it's not got Recaros but they aren't for everyone. I agree teh advert is terrible though!

    Clio 197 Performance Upgrades????

    They were never meant to make 197bhp, it's 197 ps so roughly 194bhp. To be honest though, they rarely make above 180-185 in standard form. Definately get yourself over to clio197.net. There are megane conversions, supercharged ones, and some tuned N/A ones. 220ish seems to be the limit for NA...

    Car really bouncy?

    Not going to be cheaper no, but if you are intending on getting coilovers anyway then yes, it'll save you £120 if you go straight to the coilies instead of buying std now, they coilies in a few weeks.

    172 or vr6?

    Mate of mine had a g60 running over 180 -200bhp without any issues. I think it's the same with most cars, sometimes you get a good 'un sometimes not so good.

    172 or vr6?

    Nope, 16v wouldn't really work (6 cylinder, so would be an odd number of valves!) 2 valves per cylinder, isn't really a proper V6 either. It's only a 15degree 'V' and shared a common head.
