Smoooth Kenny smoooth lol..

You're prob right mate...mine is just over 10k...tho when you're running a little late for a meeting and you have to press on, all i watch is the fly overs and 'sidings' for those lovely boys in T5's, 530D's and EVO's lol..

Spot on mate...i've never seen more than 33mpg on a motorway run...85ish around 29-31 lol..

+1 mate.. Mine is the same as yours IIRC, older box etc, i've driven the 'newer' box and it little maybe no diffence at all!! People on here are so narrow minded at times!!

Nah matey uk spec turbo is only 220bhp IIRC or a touch more, due to the extra weight of the 4WD system they aren't THAT quick tho if its UK STI with PPP at 300bhp or above it'll kill a 172/182/197..and maybe just maybe a meg 225/230 (but shhh dont tell meggerman) ;)

Nice car tho lack of Recaros let it down..

Re: Problems with your 197???? Lol maybe matey.. Nah i think i've just been 'blessed' with a good one..

Dont you know we have our very own 'Kris Boyd' on here aka Big Iain? lol

Re: Problems with your 197???? My R27 has done just over 10k and coming up for a year old, its been flawless, booked in on the 29th for its 12k/1st year service, i had it services at 6k, tho its used nearly all the oil that was put in at 6k, due to it being quite high revving i guess??

I'm new also... Ecka is a ride!!

I wasn't passed out Rory, was restin my eyes..

No bad Boyd..

Gay, its still the same on GSM mode!! What do i say to orange so they'll send me a new one??

5W40 fully synthetic matey...elf, silkolene or fuchs..

Nice..

Minter...i miss my old black gold 182 sometimes...then i see one with swirl marks and paint marring on it then i dont miss it at all lol..

That'll be the 'kris boyd' edition eh charlie boy...as in the 'auld vee' spoiler job lol..

You at the wind up dan lol..

Recoat sir...the only name in the refurb game in the shire..

Scoutin for bum..

Amizin!!

Basically does it a bit more smooth than the 182 does..more refined when pressing on.. Come to the run next thurs n i'll show you..:)

Yeah man can do.. Handling is the big factor between them mate...power isnt that much different tho the 197 delivers it with a bit more finesse tho..

I never paid anywhere near £16k for my R27 mate lol...sold the 182 for £9,200 last august..22k, mint condition 55 plate black gold 182, try selling a 182 for anymore than 8k these days and people will pick holes in it unless its a trophy.. Looks wise is a matter of opinion..handling tho..the...

Love it.. Times seem to have changed a bit on here too..everyone used to slate the 197..now most have came round to it..

It resets everything mate, trip, fuel used etc..

25 avg here...poofs if your getting over 32 in an RS..

IF it had a meg 225/230, front mount, remap and turbo back exhaust...nice hike in torque and BHP, for effortless fuel tank emptying and overtaking power..

Ah nice one, rare on the ph1 megane isn't it??

Gonna need to put lashings of tyre gel on to keep them looking spot on..
