    Mileage .....

    Hi guys, So I have a 57 plate R26 with 30K on the clock .... I really need (and want to keep it for at least another 4 years). Only thing is I do 15K a year give or take. So that means the car will have covered around 90K by that time. Probably no one out there with a R26 with those...

    Decision Made - Ordered Cancelled.

    Hi Guys After much thinking I have cancelled my order for the 200 Cup :-( The dealership and Renault UK were unable to speed things up or offer me a good alternative. So it would have been a wait until at the very earliest 3rd Dec for delivery :-( And I need a car a lot quicker than...

    Official word from Renault on my late delivery ..

    Ok so the saga has come to a close. I have just had a call from Renault UK customer services. The reason my car is now due for delivery on Dec 3rd and not Sep/Oct as originally advised on my sales form is as follows: Renault sent out an email to dealerships on July 15th informing them...

    Average age and insurance ...

    Hi Guys, I have been reading a few posts recently on this site and others involving people crashing, rolling their cars (sad times). I noticed that a lot of people seem to be 19, 20, 21 years old etc. I was surprised by this because I assumed that drivers of these cars would be older due...

    Road Tax ....

    Hi guys, So I have a 200 Cup on order (the wait is killing me) .... just a quick question about road tax ... is it around £220 for a 12 month license? And my main question is the 200 subject to that initial £500 road tax in the first year? I am pretty sure though that the first years...
