I've been umming and arring over about getting rid of it. I put it up for sale briefly on here, nearly traded it for a Saab 93 aero convertible. But held back, that was until today.. Was looking at the local Renault dealership's website this morning on my teabreak at work and saw it. Drove...

Re: ***How much is my car worth?*** As Daniel said. I think your market would be very limited. So it would make sense to try and put it back to as close to standard as possible. But how much will it cost you to do that?

Good choice, they're great fun to drive. So much so, that I nearly bought one towards the end of last year.

I suppose the fire will effect your insurance premium now, if not it will on renewal time. So it makes sense to go for this. Good cars too.

Only cars made at Dieppe now are Clios.

I've just looked at Nashy's advert. For £8500, you'd be stupid not to at least go and have a look at it! Plus it's still in warranty.

Very nice mate.

That's always the way. When I got rid of my Xsara VTS a few years back. Advertised on pistonheads, on the staff intranet at work for two weeks absolutely nothing. Then some geezer turned up and said he'll have it, and pick it up the following weekend. He left a cheque for a deposit and then...

Lovely cars. I would say that the Gordini wheels are an acquired taste, though.

Yes, Mike from Rentech had checked on the Renault database and the part number had changed from previous rear pads. I think they cost 50 or 60 quid?

Your car looks great!

I would save your cash. Maybe just get some lowering springs?

Mine flew through. Emergency kit is not bad for free!

Known fault on 197s is the binding rear brake pads. Renault superceded the original pads. I changed mine around a year ago to these.

This place was long closed. So no attendants to worry about.

Looks great DK!

I was just going through some photos of last year's Renaultsport trackday at Cadwell Park and I found this one: I recall how f**king cool the thing sounded and how bloody fast it was on track. Does anybody know anymore info on it? Is it still around?

Nice one and I seem to recall you not having your 197 for very long too.

Mine's in on Saturday morning.

Report back with findings.

Yep. I would say it is a 182 Cup, but with replacement front seats, door cards, steering wheel and headlamps. I'd tell your friend to find a car with original parts, be it a 182 Cup or 182 with Cup packs.

182 Cups have cruise control as standard, but that isn't a 182 Cup steering wheel.

I just want the triangle and first aid kit. Saves me buying them. Thing is they're are subject to availability..... Bet all the service techs and salesmen bag them all beforehand.

If you can buy Bioshock 2 for 10 quid then it's a no brainer.

How come you didn't add your old Kia Picanto to the list??? ;)

I love your Vee too!

Good choice!

Ah a R11. I used to own a Renault 11 Turbo. Your car is nice mate.

I like the black wing mirror touch. Nice.

There's a bit more to it than that. Costs for general maintenance, what if the boiler packs up etc.... Plus there will be ground rent, maintenance charges etc.... The maintenance charge that the landlord of my old rented flat was paying around 1k per annum.
