Goods points are it should have an RS Tuner remap, Goodridge brake lines and Ktec s/s stealth exhaust.

Problems with it when I traded it in for £1800 in November 2010 were:

Oil leaks from bottom end and rocker cover
Potential piston ring or valve seal failure (as it drank over 10 litres in last 12 months of ownership)
Oil leak from the gearbox
Dephaser rattling
Exhaust had a blow were it joined the cat (didn't use a new fitting kit after taking the decat off 😂)
Aircon not working as radiator damaged
Lacquer peeling on bonnet and front bumper
Wheels kerbed
Xenon lights clouded up and condensation inside
Brake pads very low
Rear shocks leaking
Rear numberplate light didn't work
Seat didn't match as one had blue Renaultsport writing and other silver

The advert says there is a receipt for head gasket and timing belt so the oil consumption maybe fixed.

It doesn't look like much has been done to exterior of the car though so doubt the engine is sorted. You can see the remains on back window of my Rentech sticker and the stickers I put in engine bay. The bonnet still has lacquer peel, the wheels are still herbed and xenon lights still have condensation. It does like they they've changed the drivers seat cover though as it doesn't have blue Renaultsport writing anymore from were it was replaced after the seat airbag went off.

It had a very hard life when I owned it as it was always driven hard from cold and I did quite a few trackdays in it.

Good luck to anyone that buys it 😂

Here are some photos of it.
