Great news on the update, Chris, really glad you're so happy with it. It is good that they're making the upgrade available to people now.

It's not so good mate, I had to complain to get this done. I made a song and a dance about it after hearing more in depth with a guy I've been talking too on CS.
Rawlinsons have been very good, Mark who is the main renaultsport man there has to put down the issues that the software has, can't just put a gearbox update on, it has to have a reason to have it done.
Ah ok, I see - I'd assumed it was something that they were offering if you asked nicely... I suppose it could potentially be a big cost to Renault if they had to do it for free for everyone...
Not long till remap time !
This update need to be done at Renault? I only ask as my gearbox feels fine or was it just a problem you were having? Mine seems to rev very freely without changing down for me in race mode and autoblips. I assumed they all did that from factory?
Auto was a pig in my 200t like trying to wake the deadYes only Renault.
No it's a generic thing they do (2015 and younger cars I believe - the new ones are fine) nothing to do with race mode, mainly just in auto and normal mode, sometimes it got confused at roundabouts etc between 1st and 2nd.
For example if you approach a blind roundabout slowly then see it's clear just about as the car would want to change down, then you put your foot back down to accelerate onto the roundabout it would get in a bit of a muddle.
Also stays in gears longer, not so keen to jump down when you need a bit of extra power, which often wasn't necessary.
These are not huge issues in themselves but the car drives so much better day to day, hard to explain tbh...
Hmm wonder if mines already been done... maybe I should try see if I can get it done at my local Renault garage.. I see you have a 4 hours journey to RS tuning.. you can't be too far from me as i have a 3 hours drive up there! Drive back down together haha hopefully with much faster cars I'm pretty tempted to get the itg induction whilst I'm there :/

I never used the auto thats why I loved it and do not use it in my 220 reallyNot sure I'd describe it like that... was perfectly driveable, now it's just better. You were singing the 200ts praises when you had it...
Auto is fine with mine. No issues with my box what so ever so maybe mines already done.. either way yeah we'll go out in yours then mine see if we notice any difference. I'm from St Albans, herts. Long old motorway journey it is!
It's just round the cornerAuto is fine with mine. No issues with my box what so ever so maybe mines already done.. either way yeah we'll go out in yours then mine see if we notice any difference. I'm from St Albans, herts. Long old motorway journey it is!
I think I might just pop mine into the dealer to check it is all up to date.
