    I heard RUK took a hit out on Gez to silence him.

    200: *WARNING* to all 200 owners! Everyone should read

    Gez Sorry to hear about the car. That is a pretty crazy chain of events that has led to destruction of your engine. My A/C on my 200 made a horrible noise and never blew cold from the day i got it. Never got it fixed as it spent too much time in the bodyshop. I really don't know what to suggest...

    Behold the practicality of a Clio

    They are hard backed and curve at the back. You do tend to lose a little space. I struggles to get a 55" tv (in box) in the back of mine. The seats made it a right bitch!

    200: Any ideas what this plug is for?

    Not a clue! At a guess i would say it is for an option that you don't have on your car. Cornering light?

    Is suspension under warranty?

    Same rules apply! Wear and tear.

    I just sent it to "RUK customer services". No need for names, it will get to where it needs to go with no issues. When I checked to see who had signed for my letter it just said "Nissan".

    I rejected my 200 last year and from what you have said i would defiantly look at rejecting yours. The only problem is RUK customer services seem to employ a lot of idiots, they never call back, never have any knowledge of common faults and above all else have no urgency to get anything...

    Speedline help

    Whilst we are here! A quick lesson on how to measure a wheel. The wheel shown below is the wheels i purchased of a member from here who was convinced they were 8j. When measuring a wheel diameter you measure from the inside of the bead not the outside. Thus a 7.5j wheel. 8j Stamp 7.5j...

    Speedline help

    I wish people would stop telling people that they are cup racers when they most probably are not. All speedline wheels come with both 7.5j and 8j markings on them. It is basically a way of saving money so that the different wheels don't need to be stamped up. The only way you can tell if they...

    Just a reminder when doing anything with a jack...

    Good to hear you didn't injure yourself. Best lesson here is to not use car jacks that come in the car.

    Rejecting a car

    You are well within your rights to reject the car. Just to give you an idea I'm currently rejecting my 200 that i purchased new back in 2011. RUK have sent a letter to me on Friday that should turn up tomorrow with a settlement which hopefully will involve them giving me money and taking the car...

    Ben Collins aka the Stig just tweeted this

    I picked my first 200 up on the 15th June 2009 which I think was one week after the uk release date and have driven both pretty hard most of their life with me and have still not had any of these common issues. Fair does most of the paint has fallen off. I do wonder some times how many of these...

    I would love to see some figures on these regular issues. Having owned two 200s and covered 60k miles in them both I have still only had one of of the list above and that is Recaro wear. Regardless if all the issues are fixed with the 200 and even if could be modified to make stupid power I...

    Until someone modifies one assumptions are all we are going to have. The fact that the box has a torque limit will be a massive factor on modifying the lump.

    If the new Clio continues to flop! Not media but if sales remain as bad as they currently are will this be the last Renault Sport Clio?? The price it cost to design and manufacture a model such as the 200 it surely must be hardly worth it when sales are as slow as they are? The new fiesta is due...

    If he said it was the most amazing car in the world this thread would be totally different! Pfft! What would a professional driver know about cars anyway!

    insurance - declaring mods

    The biggest one with insurance is suspension as it alters the impact zones on the car. I paid £43 for springs which is a lot considering my insurance was only £140 before! Wheels normally don't have an impact unless they are £1000 or more.
