    HV09 AG 200 Alloa road, Friday 1730ish

    Anyone on here, first AG i've seen up this way. Think it may have been a press car as it was an HV09 ref, possibly the 5th gear test car actually. I think that was owned by someone on here and then sold / returned to the garage? Dave

    what engine oil?

    is the silkolene pro-s (fuchs titan race now) 5w-40 rated for the 200 engines? Its well regarded for the 182 and what i used in my old bus.

    197 v 200

    ah, but a 200 should have at least some warranty left, which could be worth a bit in itself. personally, i went for the 200 from a 182 as the 200 looks really grew on me and i didn't want to own the 2nd newsest renaultsport. bit of a shallow thing to say but it helped make my mind up :)

    Clio Trolley jack points

    this is the only thing i dont like about new cars - if you screw something up then its definitely you thats done it :) managed to touch one of my speedlines on the kerb tonight too, scraped the very edge of the wheel just a wee tiny bit, would have punched myself in the balls if it wasn't in...

    Clio Trolley jack points

    yeah, thats the jack points i used - the ones on the outside. I know its irrational but when i let the car down it looked like the lip on the outside edge of the car had squashed, but i couldn't possibly imagine that. your description of the jack points matches what mine looke like now. thank...

    Clio Trolley jack points

    Hi folks, I've seen the various threads on jacking points for the 200 but i almost had heart failure tonight and need to check something. I'd jacked the car up using the front jack point that the renault jack uses (lifting both wheels off the deck), but my jack is one of the arcan trolley...

    July 2011 POTM Competition

    Here is my entry for the POTM. Taken last night on our way to doggy school with the wee man. He loves riding shotgun in the 200 but his fur is causing me grief in the cabin! I think i've captured the dog equivalent of the smile on my face when i drive around, and those with a keen eye might...

    Oil cooler

    Hi Rich, Yeah, i was thinking the same thing. if you could just extract this data from the ECU it would be easier than putting a seperate sensor in to do the job. i'm going to have a nosey at this and see..

    To spoiler...or not to spoiler?!

    He speaks the truth. No spoiler = car looks naked. Gt spoiler = expensive way to achieve not much better than naked

    Oil cooler

    i was wondering this too - the RS monitor would have been useful for this alone.

    how the hell????

    aye, my recently acquired 200 has only 1800 miles on the clock so the bilberry and pb will be coming out real soon to avoid problems! .

    how the hell????

    if it shrugs off bilberry thats really baked on! get some poorboys wheel sealant to seal them up afterwards!

    how the hell????

    bilberry wheel cleaner. use it neat, its good stuff and not as nasty or harsh as some chemicals. its safe on painted surfaces. i've heard of something called iron-x but i'm not sure on the usage of that and it stinks to high heaven. I think bilberry is made by valet-pro. Tim @ CYC is a good...

    Recommend a pressure washer

    Nilfisk is great wee washer and better value and build than a karcher IMO. Check amazon for sub 50 deals! Not sure about snow foaming but I think you need a separate lance for that. Still cheap at twice the price though!
