    Ring Trip (Which Tyres?)

    You given any though to switching to a 225/45R17 tyre? I did it a while ago. No real disadvantages with a few advantages, such as bigger selection of tyres at cheaper prices. I use Bridgestone Potenza RE070 tyres and went to the 'Ring last year on them. Couldn't fault them there. I tend...

    Airbag light/unlocks car and steering won't lock. HELP!

    I know my intermittent airbag light is caused by the connection below the drivers seat being a bit dodgy. Common enough on cars with Recaros. Always worth a check. No idea on the other issues.

    Boring topic but I need info please!

    Another vote for Osram Nightbreaker Unlimited, great upgrade over standard . I got some LED sidelight bulbs from HID direct, weren't cheap at around £15 but have proved faultless. Just be sure to avoid Mtec bulbs as they're not any better than standard bulbs at all.

    Renault warranty

    -Eddie- might be able to tell you. He works for Renault. My 2011 200 only had a 3 year warranty.

    R27 - does it come with a jack?

    I picked one up from a local scrap yard for £5. Always handy to have. And welcome to the site.

    My new 200T

    That's ridiculous. 5 mins would have seen that cleaner for the photos. Wouldn't encourage me to buy anything from them.

    Which bulbs to make my headlights white?

    I honestly don't understand this need for white light from headlight. The most light on the road is what I'm after, however Osram Nightbreaker Unlimited are white, bright and put plenty of light on the road.

    Problem with keyless entry

    I had a similar issue and needed a new key as one of the solder joins in the card was broken. I found that if I bent the card slightly it worked perfectly but if I didn't I had to use the buttons and put the card in the dash. A new key is around £150, ththough warranty covered mine luckily.

    Headlights bulbs and side lights

    Mtec bulbs are nearly as bad as the standard ones from experience. The best you can get is Osram NightBreaker Unlimited followed by Philips Xtream Vision and thats for either dipped or full beam. Amazon is nearly always the cheapest place to get them too. Usually around £15 a pair. I fitted...

    Spring Choice?

    I'd be going Eibach in your situation. Probably in can't situation to be honest. Never had a bad experience using them in the past.

    Discs and pads

    Quite possibly true, but some (Inc me) have had issues even when the brakes are serviced result. Personally I feel if there is a better part out there for less money than the OE part that regularly gets damaged upon removal then it's a bit fool hardy not to fit the better part. The OE Brembo...

    Discs and pads

    It's not a bad fluid it just that on a large proportion of users with 197s/200s it causes a pronounced squeak from the clutch pedal. Can you take/send it back?

    Newbie 200 cup owner from Swindon!

    Welcome to the site. Personally I have those stripes off in a heart beat. Do nothing for the car (other than cheapen it's looks) in my opinion. They follow no lines on the car and it looks like they were just thrown on. Sorry if that offends I did mean it to, just hate seeing a nice car...

    Discs and pads

    Forgot to say I also have pins from mrpink on here. Much better than the Brembo ones which have a nasty habit of seizing in the caliper and being a total pig to remove. Cheaper than the Brembo ones too.
