I know it's been a year, but thought I'd update the thread after getting it sorted a bit back now! Managed to find a garage with an auto electrician who didn't cost an arm and a leg. Found the issue in two seconds being the resistor, but also found the fan lugs had snapped so the fan had come...

I ended up replacing the whole motor as couldn't get it sorted with the one I had. One I had must have been misaligned when the arms seized up and with me forcing them back down when they got stuck half way up the windscreen at work one evening, lol.

I'm not unfortunately :( Live up near Lancaster. Cheers for the offer though!

Haha, to be fair the guy had the car for the best part of a day. Luckily didn't charge me anything for what he did, which from what it sounds like wasn't a lot!

Ahh those diagrams are great, cheers! Definitely keeping them for reference. Found a few online, but nothing as concise as them. I should hopefully hear back about the guy tomorrow and get something sorted with him. Don't have any other issues at all with the car, all other electrics work...

Probably one of those questions that if I'm asking I shouldn't be doing, but not sure how to go about sending power to the fan without blowing something - guessing it involves sticking a paperclip down the pin and connecting the power? Might just leave that to someone who knows what they're...

Yeah been trying my best to get it sorted with this heatwave! The guy I took it too said he checked everything he could besides the fusebox to the right of the battery, so checked the two relays myself today, but still nothing. I'll go over the fuses as per the diagram again and make sure didn't...

Issue with radiator fan not turning on at all. I took it to an auto electrician who said there's no power getting to the fan as his diagnostic tool won't turn the fan on low or high speed. Quoted me £300 to check the fuse box to the right of the battery saying it was a battery out, bumper off...

Had all the wiper assembly out over the weekend greasing up the mechanism after it seized up. I had put marks on the spindles, so I know where to align the wiper linkage to the motor. I put the wipers back on in position, but now when I use them they work fine until I turn them off and they go...

Do you live in the area? Only seen one other white one around here until now. Stopped off there to get mine booked in for a much needed service.

Parked up next to you on Saturday at Westgate Tyres as needed to pop in. Saw a forum sticker on window. Don't think I've seen yours round the area before either!

Where would be best to get a driver side wing mirror for the 200? Mine could do with a new one, but having trouble finding the exact one. Would I be best just getting one off someone who's breaking a 200?

Been thinking the same myself. Once upon a time I'd have said Cup back when I first looked at getting a 200 5 years ago or so. Now the more mature me likes the look of the Sprint spoiler more.

Great read during my lunch at work! Got quite a few ideas (and tips!) for mine. Need to start doing a few little bits while the days are still long. Bigger jobs will need to wait until next year as the misses wants a new kitchen :(

When I first test drove mine (4-5 weeks ago) noticed 3rd gear crunch straight away at 45k miles. The car had been looked after well from what I can see, has FSH from Renault garages. The dealer's garage did a rebuild on it before I picked it up. Feels solid now in all gears, touch wood, and...

Hey! Yea only put V-Power or BP Ultimate in (annoyingly the nearest Shell garage is way out of my way). It's not as bad now since the MAF sensor fix, and think it was partly down to me getting used to the throttle and clutch and being overly cautious after the gearbox rebuild! The MAF sensor...

Thanks guys :) I'll try and get some photos up soon Definitely is! As much as I love the ZR and the ZS, it was starting to show it's age and needed quite a bit of money spent on it. Yea starting to realise I need to not be so shy with the throttle ;)

Picked up my 200 a few weeks ago. Wanted one for going on 5+ years now, but went through a phase of enjoying my MG ZR and ZS 180 too much until it was time to part with the ZS and last month (gonna miss that V6!) Found a 200 for sale in the area, and would have regretted not going for it. Loved...
