    Cup Steering wheel

    You'll probably find that it's the same part as fitted to the 1.2s.

    Yes the wheel will fit and no the cruise control won't work.

    200: Falsely told my vehicle had full service history

    I must be lucky, -Eddie- is the service manager at my local Renault garage and bar one incident before Eddie started there (which I got several phone calls, apologies and a discount on future work) they have been brilliant.

    Buying a warranty Is it worth it ?

    Is the car still in warranty? Does it have a full Renault service history? If so you can extend with Renault on their website. I bought my 200 from a local garage (not a Renault dealer) and a month before the warranty was due to expire I extended online with Renault. I've already got a key...

    Value ~ Leather Recaros

    Just looked at the RS brochure for the 200 and they were a dealer fit option, not factory. Cost £1,000 on top of the Recaro option.

    Value ~ Leather Recaros

    They look very like the (rare) factory option full leather Recaros. As a straight sale I'd say the top end of Rogue estimate.

    200: Falsely told my vehicle had full service history

    The service 'book' is at the back of the user manual from memory. Also what age is the car and what milage? The 200 service intervals are 12k miles or 2 years,I. My car as advertised as having a full service history too but as it was 1 year old and had 5k miles on it when I bought it meant...

    Squeak from front left wheel assembly that stops when brakes are applied.

    Shouldn't be too bad if they were out in Feb. But always worth doing front and rear. I'm only going by my experience as when I did mine the inside pad on both sides was ruined and basically fell apart once out of the caliper. Strange thing was that they felt fine.

    Squeak from front left wheel assembly that stops when brakes are applied.

    Seized pad, all to common unfortunately. The calipers need a good clean/strip down every year or so. You may also find that you pads are ruined too when you take them out.

    Boot latch snapped!

    I know many many people have had the boot latch work loose/move slightly causing a rattle and making it hard to close. Never heard of one coming off though.

    Contact your finance company, technically the car belongs to them so they should help you.

    If you could would you start your own business ?

    There is a place near me called auto body (http://www.autobody-ni.co.uk). Though I doubt you'd be confused with them.

    Warning braided lines

    I re-used this bracket/cradle. Was a bit of a pain as I (well my mechanic) had to literally burn the old lines out of it but once they were out all went well. I have to say that it didnt once occur to either of us to try to re-fit the new lines in any other way.

    Citroen Mist washer jets

    I bought ones for an Alfa Romeo, had to trim them slightly to fit right but their great. When stationary the mist nearly clears the screen completely but when moving are perfect, we're about £7 a pair for genuine ones.

    Clio 197 to a renault traffic sport! :(

    I drive a vivaro at my work on occasion (basically the same van and I'm certain it has the same hazard warning button as my 200) and it's awful to drive. Granted it has a bit if torque but it handles like a dog and isn't quick. Don't get me wrong it's far better than they used to be but can't...
