    Some questions about the Trophy...

    Just wondered if someone could give me a few answers. Currently in my 60 plate 200, had it for years now and finally decided to chuck it in for the new Clio. I'm definitely going for the Trophy. Now I have no intention of buying brand new so will be an extremely low mileage used one. Questions...

    Squeeking after cambelt change on a 200

    So had my 200 serviced at Renault, timing and auxiliary along with water pump and gearbox oil at the same time. But randomly when I turn my car on after it's been sat for a day or two it squeels for about 15 seconds, I can stop it by depressing the clutch but it disappears and then that's it...

    RAF Cosford

    Took my lad down to the RAF Museum at Cosford today, and outside the hanger was around 6 Clios, a Megane and a few other motors. Almost felt like I'd parked my 200 in the wrong car park when I saw them all! Recognised a 200T off here with the Fail reg.

    £66 for an Eagle F1 Asymetric 2, good price?

    Just wondered if this was a decent price for these wheels, will work out around £70 per corner fitted. Going to swap all 4 tyres as although they have only done 12k they have been on for 5 years now so want to get them swapped.

    Is it worth my changing the cambelt?

    Hi guys, I have a black 60 plate 200 which is currently making its way to 11k on the clock. Now it was last serviced in November 2013 at 7k. Now I know that it's 12k or every two years, so I'm working on the two years which knocks the service schedule out of sync. So I know next year, according...

    Don't. Just get it done. Had mine done this morning after watching videos and thinking it sounded very tinny. Was very apprehensive about getting it done, worried about flatspots, it sounding crap. Well it doesn't, and I'm quite surprised. I was booked in this morning and considered not going...

    Not going into gear upon startup

    Just wondering if a gearbox oil change would make any difference to this? Gear changes are a bit notchy but it's usually ok when warm, it's still not entirely smooth but it's not 'that' bad. No crunches or refusal to go into gear when driving, just when cold. It's only started the past two...

    Can somebody please tell me if their 200 does this?

    I've seen threads where people say it's normal, others say it's not. So does anyone else's 200 make this noise at high rev gear change? It's really starting to do my head in now as to if it's a normal noise or not. Thanks everyone. http://youtu.be/WRE4X_xmI_0
