    200: AB 200 & UR 200 Goodwood.

    Spotted parked up at FoS today. The AB was leaving as I was walking back to mine. Had 2 lads in it. The UR 200 was parked a row forward from me.

    Why Renault?

    I was a pretty die hard Ford fan the first few years I was driving.That changed when a BG 182 flew last me when I was driving some country roads in 2010ish. Never seen or heard of them before but a bit of research and I had to have one. Went out a few weeks later to look at a silver172 (which...

    My first Meg sport drive in a mo!!!

    If it's a mk3 model (250/265/275) be prepared to never shake the want for one.

    Bye 197 hello 275 trophy!

    Well I've just seen another 275 engine bay and it's identical to mine. I'd probably ask for the bit that covers the ecu at least.

    Bye 197 hello 275 trophy!

    Of course I still love albi blue. Stunning colour up close but having cleaned the yellowc machine I have such appreciation for this colour. I'm massively enjoying the car. It's such a big step up from my old 197 and surprisingly the ride is nicer too. Although I have mine set up soft so that...

    200T: How many 200T owners on here

    TPMS = Tyre Pressure Monitor System. Pain in the behind, at least it was on my 197. Hopefully the system will have seenimprovements since 2006/2007.

    Bye 197 hello 275 trophy!

    I did indeed pull of the cover. Had to look at the machine under it, plus I needed to pull off all the leaves that had amassed there. Not sure how they made their way where they did. Yeah it really is and will be once I'm more confident, it still scares me a little, 1 it's the most expensive...

    Bye 197 hello 275 trophy!

    Got to agree. Love this colour. The only other one id go for would vet he white but this was the one I wanted overall. You would have gone from no6 265 to no6 275

    Bye 197 hello 275 trophy!

    So Friday I said a tearful farewell to my 197. Signed the rest of the paperwork, service plan stuff. Got the keys, a quick demo of the rs monitor (I still don't know what everything it does) Checked they'd changed the tyres, I'd noticed they were low when I brought it but 4 new bridgestones...

    rs250/265/275 owners, your knowledge please!

    Afaik, for the 275 at least, its 6 years that cambelts due (200 on the same schedule now isn't it?) and prices were similar to when I first had the 197 done (around 800-1k)I've been told the gearboxes are a lot stronger in this shape Megane, I never had any problems with the Clios gearbox...

    Passanger door seems to have dropped

    It's fairly common. Its more likely to be this then an accident.

    Mines did this. I took it to Renault and they said its down to the brackets.

    Bye 197 hello 275 trophy!

    They weren't wrong Stephen. It's a stunning example. I couldn't say no. Go in for a repair and walk out with a new car. Personally I want to go down to 18s from the 19s it has had specced.

    Bye 197 hello 275 trophy!

    Yeah it was up for something like 32k originally, thats 275 trophy r territory. You can buy them new for 28k without any extra stuff. I wouldn’t have touched it at that price either.

    Bye 197 hello 275 trophy!

    It will be getting tracked but not for the first year or so. My 1 regret is never having taken my clio out on track. This is a problem with expensive cars. I worry about wrecking them for the first few years. With my old fiestas, they were sheds so I’d sling them around happily lol.

    Bye 197 hello 275 trophy!

    Yeah I’m aware its ex Renault press car. Its twin is hk14dkg. Ill search out the pistonheads article now. I keep finding bits on dkg but not so much on muw, just the one video so far. The way it drove didn’t leave me with any worries. Plus its got a lot of warranty left and of anything does go...

    Bye 197 hello 275 trophy!

    Thanks yeah I cant quite believe I’ve finally got one either. I’ve mooned over the megane 250 and newer for about 2 years and I’ve been saying I’d have one by the end of last year/this year and its now happened. Cant wait to get this week out the way so I can pick her up. The waiting is so hard lol
