    New purchase...

    I made a rather impulsive purchase this morning....I go to America in the morning for two weeks so can't pick it up until 2nd of October which will be a torture. Anyway some pictures from the dealers site, Feb 2013 Meg 265 Cup in oyster grey and 5k on the clock.

    Keycard question...

    Just wondering, if anyone knows, if I was to start my car at my house with my keycard on my person, then leave the keycard into the house and drive off, will the car eventually cut out, or will it keep driving just with that annoying beeping going off? Cheers

    Air Feed....thoughts?

    Since fitting my ktec induction kit which I must say I absolutely love, I was thinking about the air supply. I have since removed the blanking plate on the bumper and in behind the bumper. What are peoples thoughts on an actual feed that fits into the front bumper and connects to the existing...

    Front Bumper

    Just wondering, regarding the black part of the front bumper on the 200, has anyone ever had it wrapped gloss black? My reason behind this would be that I have some small scuffs and general road rash on mine which by all means is minor at present, just thinking for the future. Do you think it...

    200: Good result at my dealer...

    Well I am just back from my nearest and I think the only RenaultSport Specialist dealer in Northern Ireland. The car was going in to get a knocking sound diagnosed and also for them to have a look at my recently melting steering wheel. After 40 minutes they came out and let me know that they...

    Coolant Reservoir

    Hi, Anyone else had any issues with the coolant overflow bottle? Mine continually comes 'unhooked' from where it is supposed to be mounted. Am I missing something that is meant to be holding it on or what? It slots back into place ok, but literally comes off during every drive. A little...

    Steering wheel....

    Seems my steering wheel has bubbled slightly and is starting to peel a little, I am guessing due to the heatwave we had over a spell of 4 weeks. Do you think I have a case for a new steering wheel? I know it is minimal at the moment but surely will only get worse, it is already driving me mad...

    Need more power...

    I am getting the itch for more power already...eeek....I have had my clio 200 for 8 months now and I love it to bits but I am craving something with more brute force to be honest. Considering the Meg 250 with the idea of mapping it to around the 300bhp mark, first things first for anyone that...

    Another trip to the dealer...

    Yet another trip to the dealer....this time for a knocking sound from the front somewhere, noticed mostly when entering my street because there is a short cobble stoned stretch and you can hear something knocking about a fair bit, it sounds low down around the wheels but it is hard to tell for...

    Changed my rear pads...

    Pretty pleased with myself, first time I have ever changed a set of brake pads, just did the rears on my 200. They were pretty low and the calipers were sticking a bit. All cleaned, greased, piston wound back and new pads in...then a very gentle drive LOL braking itself feels much better too and...

    Rear brake pads...

    Dealer parts quote...

    I am a little confused, I just called into my local dealer to ask for a price for rear pads for the 200. He tells me £103 and shows me it on screen...I am confused, how on earth are they giving me this price when online I have been asked for £38 for rear oem pads? What gives?

    Blanking plate...

    Hi, Did anyone ever delve deep enough and find a reason as to why renault put the blanking plate in front of the oem air feed? It does seem a tad strange, but I am always a believer in "they must have put it there for something". So did anyone ever find out why? Is there any proven...
