    Ok mate I'll lay out what I paid for my 2009 200 cup in the same colour. I paid £6900 with 4 new tyres, 2 years warranty, recaros and a/c. 12 mnths tax and MOT. 40k miles (although it wasn't as tidy as yours)

    Gearbox under warranty

    Yeah Renault wanted to fit a whole new box, while arnold clark wanted to do just synchros - I wonder why!! Does anyone know what the best contact number is for RUK? the renault website wants me to contact a specific dealer, which I'm assuming is not RUK

    Gearbox under warranty

    It is ridiculous isn't it... Seeing as Renault pay up to 80% normally, surely they'll give in on £400, especially as they will be receiving a meaty £2k from arnold clark! The garage also has a nice offer of half price labour if you're a member of this forum. Might give that a shot if RUK don't...

    Gearbox under warranty

    Firstly, hope this is an ok place to put this, seeing as this isn't about the gearbox itself... I've just dropped my car off at renault for a new gearbox under warranty (an arnold clark auto care warranty). I've been told the total bill will be £2400, but unfortunately the warranty will only...

    Upgrading cup steering wheel

    Absolutely love the feel of the non cup wheels, feel so chunky! Was wondering if it's possible to fit that wheel to a cup? I know the cruise and radio buttons will be in the way but is there a way to just swap the rim of it?

    High revs - wont go into gear

    I think you might find it's the beginning of failing snychros, mine grinds into 3rd, 4th and 6th and i have the same symptoms you were describing. I only just bought the car (gearbox is about to be replaced under warranty) so I don't know which problem arose first, though.

    Car looks amazing of course! I upload photos with tinyphoto, and they're resized properly. Might wanna give it a try? I'm sure there's better uploaders out there, but that works for me.

    New gearbox under warranty

    Unfortunately the gearbox is on it's way out on the cup, but luckily I have a warranty. Apparently the max warranty payout on one claim is £2k and I'm pretty sure a new box + labour will be more than that. What's the best way to work it so that I can do it cheaper? I know you can get a new box...

    I summon the knowledgeable people!

    Seems expensive too, you could get a decent R27 for that money

Also, recieved my 64mm TB, the ECU is still adjusting but I'm pretty sure it gets through the revs quicker! I'm getting towards...
