    Exhaust Advice

    From what I've read the Ktec system is pretty loud and drones pretty bad, if you're wanting something similar to standard and fairly priced I'd definitely be going for the Scorpion Resonated system. You could order one online and get it fitted at any local garage, mine charged £20 for my Akra...

    New 197 Owner from Kent

    Welcome to the forum! I have recently had a new thermostat and mine sits about the same as this picture during normal driving. Moves up a little bit to the 3rd line when in traffic/stood still for a while.

    Ticking Noise

    That's what I was thinking after doing plenty of reading today, just wanted a few up to date opinions before I take it to the garage. Will get it up on the ramp next week, my mechanic wasn't in this afternoon. Thanks for that mate!

    Ticking Noise

    Hi Everyone My car has recently developed a 'ticking' noise (easiest way to describe) If I put the window down from standstill and set off the ticking noise gradually gets more prominent as the revs build. On cold idle it's noticeable but when warmed up the it settles down but with the bonnet...

    What is your preferred engine oil?

    It's usually best to stick with the same stuff that was put in when the car was last serviced, however if you don't know this info any decent Fully Synthetic 5w40 oil will be fine. I've had the Shell Helix Ultra stuff in mine for the last 2 services and it has been spot on...

    Different fuels = different drive?

    During probably 95% of my ownership I've used Tesco Momentum, after trying the car on a few different ones it seems to like this the best. Plus it's cheaper and more readily available for me, I'd be going out of my way to go to a shell.. do sometimes put a couple of tanks of VPower in if I'm...

    Greetings from Berlin

    Welcome to the forum Martin. Your car looks absolutely brilliant, love the colour! I'd be tempted to swap mine for one but they are usually a little overpriced over here and don't come up for sale very often. Look forward to seeing more pictures.

    Wow! Really well played mate, you've done a fantastic job so far getting the car to where you want it to be. Wish I had the time/money/enthusiasm to get mine looking as good as yours. Keep the updates coming.

    Whining/whistling noise

    If I'm entirely honest mate I think it was just me being over paranoid. As mentioned in this thread these engines can be a little noisy when cold and it was just something I wasn't used to. I had the Cambelt, Auxiliary belt etc replaced when I first got the car so I know all is ok. (Touch wood)...

    Netflix/Prime etc - What shows are you watching/Recommendations?

    I'm about 6 episodes in to the 'Ozark' Jimmy, really enjoying it. I've not watched any for a week or two but was impressed with the episodes I've watched so far. Echo the Lela Loren comment, I liked her scenes much more in the earlier series :grinning:

    Rust on tailgate - warranty claim

    Mine was also recently repaired and not replaced. They did a top job and I'm well chuffed I didn't have to get it sorted out of my own pocket especially on a car that's now 10 years old. I think Renault UK don't accept all claims so that they don't have to say there was an actual issue with all...

    The ONE GW R27?
