@YorkshireKyle has his apart every other day.

Swivel hub bearings, ask when or if they've been done fairly recently.

Cambelt obviously, would be good to know if that's been done.

Window switches are notorious for packing up so check they all work.

Check the rear exhaust is in line with the rear bumper. Centre mounts are prone to failing giving you a wonky exhaust.

Great cars although mine was a petrol one, fun to drive.

Where do I start!🤣🤣

Check swivels, they knock, clunk and squeak when turning. The standard turbos on these are w**k, check for fin damage and if it sounds like a police siren then walk away or drop the price £500. Window regulators are an issue, check all windows work, make sure it boosts properly because they're common to have the plaggy boost pipe rub holes in it on the cold side of the cooler. Make sure everything on the squib works, if wipers are a bit funky then itll be the squib. Engine mounts are a bit issue on these too, the oil filled one is a fart for failing quickly. EGR's are gimps too, theres a lot of stuff involved with the emissions system on these

Theres a lot of issues with em but if you drop on the right one they're mint cars! Mines a LUX and CUP, easiest way to tell is turn the traction control off and if it comes back on over 30mph then it's not a cup and LUX pack is leather seats, keyless etc

Gimme a shout if you need to know anything specific about em, as @TomSx mentioned, I have mine apart quite frequently haha

I loved mine. But my wife had to drive it every day and hated it.
I genuinely believe that the dci’s are the best car that Renaultsport have produced. No cambelts to worry about, the clutches are proper strong, they go well, they’re reliable, good on fuel, fast (once mapped) they’re great.

Standard Megane issues though; door handles fall apart, key cards fall apart, door leak, electric windows fail, boot leaks water on your head, swivel hubs cost a fortune.

It I’d have another one, 100%.

Very nice

 

[Krarl]

Red ones are the quickest👀

Honestly I love mine, it's just precious owners have spent their money on stupid s**t rather than make it perfect. I have a tendency to make the mechanical s**t about a car perfect🤣

 

[Krarl]

Oh and a good thing to consider is that mine does 41mpg @ 80mph. Not great at all and when I'm giving it stick I've seen as low as 20mpg🤣

 

[william84]

what kind of money do these roughly achieve?

I bought Daniel's off him for 3k, but it's on 70k and is mint

It's a great car tbh

 

[Krarl]

Prices are £1500 and upwards typically. I practically stole mine at £1795 imo
