yeah mine were the ebay ones at £20, they feel a bit flimsy but are a good fit and are just taped on

I clayed it and waxed it couple of months ago so it cleaned up alright. I am thinking that the wheels wipl look better black and on spacers but I don't have a second set while they get done.

Hi, Picked it up in Sept after swapping my EP3 for it. Been meaning to upload for a while but never done it. Anyway, a bucket of water over her and here she is.

I just did a 150 mile trip to Birmingham, all motorway plus 5 miles A road. I was 60-65mph most of way down and topped 34.1mpg and I was really trying. In my old 172cup I drove Leeds to Coventry at similar speeds and saw 52mpg and it's pretty much same engine or so I thought. Hey ho it's not...

Got the car back today and the noise has gone it turns out that they ordered new coolant pipes and they compared them to the old ones and found they were slightly changed. Their opinion is that Renault must have changed the pipework after launch but wouldn't tell them. Either way I am very happy...

I will see what happens this time then and look at cleaning the drain holes and bleeding system myself (take it it's better to raise the front end to bleed it) and see what happens after this. Thanks for the replies, I was hoping my first post would be a good one not a fault finder as I didnt...

I am near Leeds I bought it not from Renault but another main dealer. I have said the same that they can't just say they aren't doing anymore but they say it doesn't affect the driving or performance of the car and it is fully useable. I was thinking that best way after I get it back is maybe...

Bought an o6' 197 two months ago from garage and since picking it up it has been in with them for a month of this time trying to trace a noise. There is a gurgling noise behind the dash at passenger side which occurs above 4500 rpm and sounds like a percolating noise. They have had it in...
