    I tried messaging the guy countless times when I had my 197 and never got a reply. This was a good year ago.

    CV Boot - Meg 250, help?

    Cleaning the car at the weekend and noticed that the nearside door and arch was covered in a load of what looked like tar and oil, wouldn't budge and eventually had to get my mate to machine it out. On closer inspection of the car, I noticed that there was fluid/oil/grease? sitting on the wheel...

    DTRL's in blade

    I know a guy in London who is fitting them to my 250.. he is retrofitting them for me and manages to get them mega cheap from a guy he knows he work from Renault. You're looking in the region of £400. It's an easier job with the 250 though as the end of the blade has x2 ends which clip out. He...

    My old dear has just bought a 200T..

    What is an ECOP car lol? No, she is liable to service it herself but its not an issue considering she was obligated to use Mercedes for servicing beforehand which was very expensive.. Yeah I agree, silver looks lovely.

    My old dear has just bought a 200T..

    250 is a completely different car and IMO is everything great about the Clio but more.. coming from a 197 to a 250 then driving a 200T.. you can feel a familiarity with them all.

    My old dear has just bought a 200T..

    Well, my old dears C Class Merc has just finished it's PCP and has only a few weeks until it is returned to Mercedes. She rang me a few weeks back asking for suggestions on a 5 door hatchback she could get the dog into and you can only guess where this was going... As a result and after much...

    Best Sealant.

    Hi all, Bought the Mrs a limited edition corsa yesterday as she'd just passed her test and opted out of the scotchguard protection as it is a con IMO. As a result I'm going to wash, clay and seal it myself and just wondering what everyone's most favorable sealant is? I'm planning on using...

    Dealer not handing over service book.

    Exactly mate, I wouldn't personally.. I only did as I was promised it was on the way. It's peace of mind having everything when you buy a car.

    Dealer not handing over service book.

    Well I've told them in kind words that I shall be in touch with RUK if it's not here by the end of the week. Can it still have quite an effect on a re sale of a vehicle with no service book? Apparently the records will be online..?

    Dealer not handing over service book.

    I have contacted them again today to say I will be in touch with RUK if I don't have it by the end of the week. Does anyone know though if they can actually do anything?

    Dealer not handing over service book.

    Hi guys. Had my 250 now for 5 weeks and on collection of the car from a Renault dealer, I was told that the service book was still with the previous owner and that I'd be receiving it in a matter of days. A fortnight passed and after much persistence I eventually got a text from the salesman...
