lol, i was so close a couple of times ;)
To begin with it was insurance related since it would come before this year is up, now I just dont want to commit for 2 years and have the awkwardness with having to insure it for track and that. It doesn't suit my needs since I only use the car at the...

Not sure on model, best to ring clio spares or sutts autos on here, thats where i got mine, was only about £20 too from him :)
Its easy to change but I did break my stereo remote thingy as that has to be removed to fit it.
Its basically: Wheel off, remote off, plastic surround off, remove the...
I have no idea why but they did for me, was fine until i started steering then they would come on.
I can only presume the esp requires to know which way the wheels are turning.
If you hadn't of mentioned the steering thing i would of said ABS sensor, had that fault too lol
Its probably you abs ring behind the wheel, mine did this when i fitted it incorrectly.
I'll try and find one on ebay....

My 200 quotes are coming out around £100 cheaper than my current 182 quotes.
Wierd, guess the 182's are getting a bad rep for claims now they are affordable though.
I am no expert, but imo, presuming a similar deal was offered in 2 years then the difference would cover the deposit so you'd just be paying monthly still. So presuming the offer never changes (which is stupid but simplifies things). Its potentially £1k now and £199 for the rest of your life and...
Trade this in, get the difference between settlement figure and part ex value as a deposit on another PCP deal and the whole thing starts again. But its not a bad way of making sure you always have a new car imo.
Cant really get them off cheaply, would probably want £170 ish
But you could buy them with tyres, then remove the tyres at your work and sell them on for £100, probably more :)
Same as me then, when you factor in you wont be repairing it and you wont be modifying it then it will be cheaper to run I reckon. Insurance is cheaper for me on a new 200 too, which is just stupid when its worth 5/6x as much :S
Not going for a twingo though lol, nice but a bit underpowered imo
Think I am going to order this week now, since I can have a proper 200 with cup pack and wheels for around £250 I reckon. Didn't really want a pov. spec :p
How come your thinking of it paul, got car issues still?

Should do you, but you might want more in the future.
4GB Bundle

Or buy a used one from a trusted place, should get a used recent elite for around £100 from somewhere like avforums
Edit: Mint...
Exactly, the console choice of men is 360 :approve:
Dave, the 4gb will do you fine, you dont need to install the game, and with forza it doesn't even seem to make it load quicker so there is no point.
