    Twingo RS 133

    Nice one Jason, really good to see you back in an RS! Glad you're enjoying it, and at least the little niggles are fairly minor in the grand scheme of things, nothing too serious/costly!

    Good result! As I mentioned, I've been very happy with Greenlight - very easy to contact and helpful to boot.

    Ah ok, fair enough. I've had a policy with Footman James also in the past, but not on the Clio. Surprised that some don't want to quote, but then I think it's better for them to be straight with you instead of trying to price themselves out of the market by giving you some ridiculously high...

    Clio 197/200 common issues.

    I honestly wouldn't worry too much about the gearbox issues. As @Beany says, although many have had their box changed, there are also countless other cars on their original boxes that have done plenty of miles. As long as you are thorough on checking for no crunches on a test drive, there is...

    Well I used to work for them a few years ago :) they were decent enough employers and IMO a pretty solid insurer - one of the 'larger' companies I'd say, a proper underwriter. I never had a policy with them though, so can't comment on how competitive they are price-wise.

    Ah, very nice up that way! That's my future post code come next year I think! I used to live in LS18, then moved to LS17 and my insurance actually went up! My housemate said all the thieves go to the posh areas :)

    I'm with Greenlight on the R27 and have been very happy with them. Big benefit is that they include declared mods for no additional cost, as above. I don't know about track cover though as it's not something I ever enquired about. It's hard to judge whether that price is good or not, because...

    Clio 197/200 common issues.

    The buyers guide will give you a lot of the information you're after, but if you need to know anything about specifics, please do ask away. There are some horror stories on the web about owning these cars and the 'problems' they suffer, however take them with something of a pinch of salt...

    Excellent, I wish you all the best with it! I hope the viewing of the Twingo goes well too.

    Welcome back Jason, great to see you on the forum again! How's the business going? I'm sure the Twingo will be a lot of fun, and it's good you're still keen on something from the Renault stable ;)
