RUK arn't being much help either apart from getting me a curtisy car as the dealership couldnt. just looking at other options as im going to loose a bit if i trade it in for something else.

ok so most will have saw the thread about my 200, i bought it pre registered with 5 miles on the clock on the 30th of December, 2 months and 2500 miles later it suffered full engine failure, i gave the dealership a chance to rectify it, 2 weeks later it had a brand new engine, however the...

apparently the flat spot isnt a problem when pushing on as i beleive its under 3000rpm but drivability around town is going to suffer massively

anyone else from over this way fancy meeting me and Joe (if hes still going) at stirling services for a wee convoy, Wee Shawzy was talking about boosting thru with us too dunno if shes still up for it or not?

i struggled to shift my minter for £1800

if it was me id buy a nice standard 172/182 - make sure its running full health and enjoy it. then at a later date some cheap mods - fresh set of genuine dampers, sportline springs, new track rods and ends, geometry setup, decent pads and a brake fluid change all of them will sharpen it up...

my mates just bought a MINT mugen kit DC5 to sell on, well hes in 2 minds to keep or sell as he already has a DC2 track car and i think has fell in love with the DC5 lol!

very nice! i think it suits the black wheels and blue stripes!

im coming if the 200 hasnt blown up again by then, think Joe is coming in his new focus too!

i use mine every change, never get out of first around town. makes it kinda hard when i get into another car as i forget to change gear.

not quite that extreme i would imagine but thats the general idea, thats what you want on a turbo car with the torque to pull through it!

lol, what a sack

lol aye ur 172 still for sale? haha

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
