Aye they need a refurb anyway so may as well spend the refurb money changing them instead

Good thinking! http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?601868-The-RenaultSport-Megane-Appreciation-Thread

 

[Djw John]

Well just to finish this thread off theres a link here to quite a lot of the work I did to it last year http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?657002-My-Megane-225-freshen-up

This year for the MOT I had to replace the hubs. We'd been considering selling anyway and we decided the time was now whilst its got full MOT. So it went up for sale and a few weeks later Andyrg came up and bought it and is very happy with it. We miss it for different reasons. I miss the 245bhp and Lorna misses the heated seats!

To replace it we decided a normal hatch rather than 2 French hot hatches as dailies made more sense. After a lot of umming and aahing Lorna decided that she wanted a mk2 Focus. She learnt to drive in one and has always had a soft spot since. It had to have the heated windscreen and be either 1.8 or 2.0. It won't save us a fortune day to day but parts and petrol will be a bit cheaper. She never drove the 225 to its potential anyway so its no great loss to her.

Anyway, enough blabbering on. Here's 2 poor pics of a car that I just cannot get excited about at all

 

[Mr Anderson]

Ah, the sensible phase. I give you 6 months.

 

[.GAZ.]

Needs Silvervision's and Turini's.

 

[Djw John]

6 months, dunno, done 150 miles in it so far up the A68. 6 months could be pushing it!
