That really is a solution to problem that does not exist.

Have you got the RS Monitor? Use it to see when its warm then enjoy within reason.

Its a Renault and only bonkers Renaults like the spider, R26.r and V6 hold their value. This is just a matt painted 200. Its nice enough but not to be used to combat depreciation. Buy an R26.r if you want that.

I had to machine a friends "black bit" as it has oxidised and gone greyish. The car was only 12months old. Polished back up ok though. They need a lot of protecting and bugs and other much should be removed asap.

But a LY 200 with Recaros and a few options is over £21k Cars are expensive these days.

Why is it that they always use Cups?? So many mags critisize the interior and lack of kit. You'd think Renault would not want that and give em a Cup packed FF. Good result though. There is just summat magical about the 200. Apart from MPG its almost the perfect hot hatch, it does everything...

I had the same problem. All 5 bolts off and it would not budge. Car was only 8 months old and had to resort to a plack of wood and a lump hammer.

It depends when you own the 2nd hand car. Buy a good 197 at 4 years old and soon it needs £600 just for belts. Buy a bad one and it may need the perfo hubs doing and they are £450 a side before labour. Generally new cars do cost you more cos they loose more value but they cost much less in...

What do you mean "IF"? it has a different box! And the slight differences to the chassis are different springs, dampers, bump stops, steering rack and possibly a thicker anitroll bar.

Twice recently I have offered mine as PX, 60plate 7.5k RB FF Cup Pack and RS Monitor. I have been offered around £11,750. Some may think that means the private you will get more. Not the case at the mo IMO. The gap between buying private and dealer is getting larger as unsecured credit is...

Power in bhp is torque in lbft x revs /5252. Therefore its is possible to hit claimed torque but not claimed power. My car hit claimed torque at 5500 rpm (ish not got graph to hand) but only hit 185bhp (or 188 in french) So then at 5500rpm it was at 166bhp. But by 7250 the torque had...

Horse hair brush.

My Mrs was on the insurance of my 190bhp 172cup as a leaner then drove straight away after passing. Its just tin and rubber!! The only thing to get upset about is your insurance premium.

You can feel the extra grunt and you can certainly see it of you compare 2 dyno graphs. However on the road the difference is very very minimal. Maybe on a track with a proffesional you could quantify the difference but not on the road.

Sell the car and buy one with the cup pack.

Yours is obviously an HP agreement which means at the end of the term you will own the car outright having paid a total of £19,028. By comparison the deal for the OP is 11396 over 44months. Obviously this is a PCP so there will be GFV of about £6000 so if the you could say the total payable...

Id say that apart from looks as beauty is in the eye of the beholder. It is fair to say the 200 is that little bit better in all departments and i do mean little bit. The engine is better, the handling and feel is better, the bluetooth is better, it has the rs monitor etc. The only downer on...

I wouldn't bother. If your 197 is a FF then a 200 cup will feel really cheap and tacky. See if they can do the same deal on a FF with cup pack then it might be worth it. Also if the APR is good a PCP will often be the best option for buying a new car.

It will be maped. Also don't confuse fly torque with torque on the road, 2 very different things.

I had a go in a new Fabia VRS at the weekend. Power wise just as quick if not quicker but the feel is just not there. It felt like a normal car with more power. By comparison the 200 feels like a race car with road bits added.
