I've got michelin pilot sports on my 250 which is remapped. They're about half worn after about 7 months and ~8k miles so quite happy with the wear rate on them, might be worth trying when your current tyres wear out! For what it's worth this is about double the life I was getting from the...

Car's looking awesome mate!

Great cars, I have one also in sport yellow! Colour really suits them

That's not the rear footwell, it's under the rear seat bench and I think it's the fuel pump. To those people thinking of putting harnesses on standard seats, don't do it.... it's really dangerous

What a great guy for sorting that out ;)

I had broken dust seals on my brembos too. If you're going to the effort of replacing them then you should do the piston seals at the same time as it'll only take a few more minutes.

I would hope for a manual gearbox version, I think it would massively boost the sales

I had the eibachs on my full fat, nice drop and made the car sit perfectly in my opinion. Ride quality was almost as good as standard, just a tiny bit harsher over potholes. They can do this as they're progressively wound springs. Handling wise, quite similar to standard but with a bit less...

They did for me, maybe I got lucky or pushed harder!

When I had an issue on my 197 which customer services refused to fix under warranty I got really pissed off and found the name of Renault UK's managing director. I send him an email directly, the next day renault phoned up offering to resolve my issue! So, have a look on google for someone...

I sold mine at 58k miles on an 07 plate, mechanically everything was still as good as new. I did look after it well though and it always had the best parts put on it. I'd have no problem buying a well looked after example with those sort of miles

Great video, love it!! Reminds me of some of the editing they do on topgear and that's a big compliment.... I think topgear editing is some of the best on the BBC

Felt really sad reading about this earlier, I love the fast and furious films and they just won't be the same without him. I did read though that his last post on twitter was asking if people were ready for fast and furious 7, hopefully it's already finished so we can have one last film from...

I visited lookers colchester when looking for a 250/265. They had that 265 at £29k and another 265 absolutely identical but 1 year old on 13k miles which was priced at £20,079. Apparently the £20k had been a managers car for the past year and when it hit 1 year old they ordered another...

I'd expect it to be sitting a bit higher after 10 mins. Could be a stuck thermostat maybe?
