    I seem to have bought a different car!

    For a car I ordered without even driving one, you couldn't at the time, it is rather good.

    Warning messages

    As there is no electrical forum, I will try here. I have just been to Spa and back. In typical fashion on the Tuesday coming home before I left on Wednesday, I get a check air bag warning. It only takes 20 minutes to get home and came on a couple of times and went off after about a minute...

    Gear change stiff on track.

    Much as the title says. For anyone that knows my car, it has stratospheric miles, but much like Trigger's broom there is very little in the drive train that is original now. What was still good after all those miles was the gearbox, no clunks or any issues. As it has had a slippy diff fitted...

    Suspension / alignment opinion.

    I will start this by saying, I absolutely know that the car needs to be checked for what it is at the moment, because I don't have a scooby, but I am hoping the issue does lay in the alignment. So if you are sitting comfortably! In March the Clio of Epic Sluggishness went to a garage to become...

    The Clio of Epic Sluggishness.

    It is rare for me to post or even create a progress thread as I have done all that sort of stuff years ago with Mazda's and it has basically all been done. However, my Storm Grey 200, which bought in 2017 for £2,500 and love driving needed some love. It might have only cost that much, it had...

    Rain sensing wiper

    I have recently, this Monday, has the windscreen replaced on my 2010 car. It has rain sensing wipers. They worked before the screen was replaced but the technician could not get them to work afterwards. He had replaced the silicone pad and used a gel between them. At that time he stated that...

    A question for those that have Meg'ed their car.

    Do you feel the car has lost something since you did it? In particular if you track the car regularly dose the car lose enjoyment of the NA engine?

    Tyres and winter.

    This may seem to be an obvious public service statement but given the number of Renault Sport cars turning up on Copart and other salvage sites and even a recent post on this forum, since the first real crap bit of Autumn weather I thought it is a timely reminder to have a good look at your...

    Opinion Please.

    My RS200's engine is knocking and so needs replacement. I am looking at several cars on salvage auction sites. I have a choice of a straight forward engine swap or a R26 car. I am using the car as an all round vehicle, but not a full time daily. It will see the track, but not as a track day car...

    How fast or slow are these things?

    A strange title, but I am looking to guage if these is something amiss with my car. I bought my car on a whim as it was sort of abandoned outside work. I bought it as I no longer had a dedicated track capable car and something I could drive to a track in rather than having to trailer. Anyway...

    2 Pistons needed.

    I have posted this in the engine section as well, but basically hairline cracks have been discovered on the lands between piston rings grooves of two pistons in my engine. Renault appear to not want to sell pistons and so I need two. Does anyone have a pair of pistons surplus to requirements...

    HELP required. Pistons needed.

    My engine is being refreshed and as part of this it has been discovered that two for the pistons have hairline cracks on the land between the piston ring grooves. Renault appear to not want to sell pistons and so I need two, as equally I ideally want to shell out for a set of forged ones. Does...

    Clutch release

    Guys, I expect I know what the answer is going to be, but thought I would ask. The clutch in my car engages very early, so the pedal is hardly moved off the floor. On track the other day it became more difficult to change gear. So, from my knowledge of hydraulic clutches in general, it...

    Timing Belt question.

    Longish post alert! Hi Guys, I have used the search function but can't find an appropriate answer, so sorry if this is the 3rd most asked question! If you have read my introductory post you will know I have a 2010 RS which I didn't expect to own. It has done high mileage, over 200K. I expected...

    Key Card and Locks

    Hi guys, I am new here. I have had a look via the search function but see no relevant answers. I have a RS200. It had been sat outside work, looking abandoned, for a while. Anyway, to the point, aside from a new MOT and the new keepers supplement, all I have is half a key card, meaning the key...

    Hello everybody!

    Hi, I'm Nick and this feels a bit like a reformed alcoholic taking a drink they know they shouldn't! I have just bought an RS 200. I didn't start out intending to do this but it seemed to have been abandoned outside of my unit. Certainly it has sat there for at least a couple of months since...
