arnold clark have now offered to have it taken to a specialist of my choice to be put right and they will pay the bill. seriously interested in this option if it means getting to keep my albi blue!

yeah mate the 200 is awesome, ive just had that much bother with it i want it gone, its going in next week to get put right by my local specialist and arnold clark are paying the bill so will see how i feel after that, but i recon after a few months ill possibly swap it. car just feels tainted...

ive got my eye on another white one sitting on autotrader with the same spec as my old one!!!

*cough* GT DCi 106 *cough*

needs to be the DCi106, the 128 is no quicker overall and the 106 is much quicker around town, no need to have it over 3k rpm shouldnt have swapped my GT 106 for my 200!!

all clio headunits have the CD Changer input, not just the cabasse, but its worth looking out for a cabasse as it is better!

i bought one for GT what ever number its on now 5? and it turned out to be w**k (im sure thats been covered to death on here) so its still sitting under my TV after being used for 6 hours to "install" GT and 10 minutes playing it. was going to use it as a blueray player but its far far to loud...

RCI were dealing with the dealership today and were under strict orders to phone me with an update and some serious progress tomorrow or they can come and collect their car as i was canceling the direct debits. so will see what happens. chances of them actually giving a f**k and phoning me are...

very nice, nice choice in phone too ;) i bet all these low millage cars have just had the ABS fuse out them most their life!

its stopping when you lift off from what i can hear, had the same problem on a 172, was the manifold to cat joint.

i like the standard setup so my £400+ would be going on cup dampers all round, eibach sportlines, top mounts, track rod ends, track rods, bottom arms and a geometry setup. but most would probably spunk the full £600 on coilovers and throw them on.

cup suspension wont really give you any less roll over the normal 172 setup, slightly less possibly. however its worth going cup setup if your going brand new genuine as its the same price.

stick a set of ebc green stuff pads on it to save your wheels getting black, thats what i used to use on my dci100 to keep the wheels clean! pads are no worse or better than standard but loads less dust. do the engine cover the same colour of purple would be cool. i contacted that N2graphix to...

looks good that i like the purple. My pet hate though is missing arch liners lol

£14,400, pre reg, 15 miles, albi blue, cup chassis, recaros, carbon dash.

engine failed under warranty new engine was replaced under warranty so i think as far as thats concerned the failure is fixed, however its the workmanship thats now the issue. not saw a solicitor yet, i dont even know what sort of costs would be involved with that? so far we have the following...

legally yes im entitled to have it repaired, however arnold clark are physically unable to repair it properly in my eyes, they have atempted and failed massively. and they want attempt after attempt to put it right

RUK are not interested, they say its arnold clarks issue, they are just apparently trying to make sure it goes smoothly, yet they dont seem to be doing to well with that part!

well heres where we stand so far.... Renault UK are useless, not interested, love to ensure me how well trained their dealerships are and how reliable the cars are (not really relevent since ive had a MASSIVE failure and massive f**k up by useless dealerships, they love a curtisy call to make...

because i couldnt afford an EP3 CTR at 17 at the time and could just afford a 172!, 6yrs later im on clio 7

you wont pay 20k new though, granted mine was a pre reg non cup with cup pack, recaro and carbon dash and i paid just over 14k with 5 miles on the clock

when spending a decent amount of coin on a car, personally I wouldn't mind spending the cash to get the options I want, had I took a bog standard GT DCi id have saved about 5 grand over ordering the one I did with probably £2000 of options! but it was worth it to me!

I bought a pre reg 200 with delivery millage, suffered full engine failure and Renault uk are not interested because its "not brand new" and left me to deal with the dealership

an aggressive map shouldn't be chucking out loads of black smoke, its over fueling. get a high power map from a decent tuner and it should have a minimum increase in smoke if any!

they done a ph1 sport that some early dynamiques come up as on insurance databases for some reason, they should go under the proper dynamique model though rather than sport.

going back a few pages, keyless entry lets u open the car from about a meter away but it physically wont start the car unless your inside the car, it just brings up no card detected on the scree, I was playing about with it and even with the window down and my card about an inch outside the car...

if you've never done it before allow an hour just taking your time and doing it properly, access is pretty easy on it. if its not already had gearbox oil its worth doing that, you know what these boxes are like!

id still be sticking premium rubber on it, my mapped 100 would light up T1R's in 2nd gear unless perfectly smooth road surface!!

ive had some quick 172's but id be kidding myself if I said the 200 was slower! they are quick quick cars, my first engine wasn't quite as good as the 2nd one but obviously it had issues from day one, the current engine is a cracker. pitty Arnold clarks workman ship is terrible for the actual...
