Ahhh.... that'll me be then. You must have been in the white clio 200. I seen you at the Bull in the Oak junction as i nipped across. Didn't click you were still around untill i pulled on to the A444 and carried on as you went off towards Sheepy. Crappy drive in to work today due to minimal...

Ahhh, that would have been me. I'd just done my good deed for the day and picked my mother up from Fosse Park. I looked across just as you left the island. Clean looking motor you have there.

So, i used these today and the bill for a (small) 18k service came to £136.93. This is the first service on this car for me so i know no better but after speaking to a mate at work who had a 197 previously it appears as though it's a pleasant price compared to what he used to pay at a dealership.

Hi all, The time has come and the old spanner appeared on the dashboard the other week so a service is clearly due. I have been warned off the official Leicester dealer so had a peep on the net and found Renault Services based in Nuneaton. Popped over to have a chat and ended up booking it...

I drove my bosses and loved it. This was after he'd warmed it up and dragged me along some warwickshire B roads at lunch. But it felt so tight and precise and the noise it made at higher revs just made me want one. Had mine since Feb now and every drive to the office at Twycross (along the B...

@Mike - The cheapest was with RAC. i'm not due to renew till the end of the month so hopefully i'll find something cheaper in the meantime. Might have to check out aviva if Jaxx has got his that low.

Hi Is £370 about right for fully comp on a 06 plate 197? I'm 34, full no claims. Wife as a named driver and the car is kept on my drive at night and a secure works car park during the day. I have no points. I was kind of hoping my insurance would be a bit cheaper than that. But i know...

Ay up... cheers for all your pleasant replies guys. @ chappo and richandgem. I'm in the Enderby/Narborough area of our wonderful county.

I'm glad i've read this thread as i'll need to find a good place to get my car serviced at some point. It's funny really, as back in 2002 i went to the Leicester dealer to look at the 172 when they were new. The guy dismissed me straight away when i enquired about a test drive and said that he...

Hi Finally did it after about a year of trawling autotrader and pistonheads and took the plunge and got a Met Blue 06 plate 197 and at the moment i'm as chuffed as a fat kid in a sweet shop. After a 4 years of running a VRS Fabia (sensible-ish car as we were buying a house and getting...
