It's a full fat with cup pack mate. It has climate control, which you can't get on a cup. Also it has colour coded rub strips and the line of stitching at the top of the steering wheel. Don't buy it though, it's got the awful graphite pack (or whatever it's called)

Lol, this is 100% correct! I used a dremmel with a small cutting disc on mine. I had some redesigned ones to go in (held in place with an R clip rather that the spring mechanism on the originals)

For a 1.2 i'd just get a pattern one from a local motor factors to be honest. I can't imagine they would be cheap from Renault, probably end up being worth more than the car!

I was under the impression that the retailers take about 5p per litre, so not a lot of profit in it for them really.

I'm 30 (well I will be tomorrow) and I have an R27. I was 21 before I had a proper hot hatch, I got my Punto GT and Golf VR6 a week after my 21st birthday. I used to pay about £1,100 to isure both. It amazes me when you see 18 year olds in 1*2's. The insurance must be higher than the value of...

Should be spot on, how much is that?

It's also 4k over the OP's budget?

Me neither, Renault recommend the 5w 40 Elf oil (it's also what they sell). It's not expensive from them either, I paid £30 odd quid for 6 litres (1 x 5l and 1 x 1l top up pack)

Cruise, Recaros and Anthracite wheels are all standard on an F1 mate

I'm with you there Chip. I think there are now more people devoted to slating apple lovers than there are actual apple lovers!

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.

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 -...

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...

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...

If its the same as the 197 (which I would imagine it is) Elf evolution SRX 5W/40

Probably somewhere like Eurocarparts.com or GSF?

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!

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...

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...

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?
