Newbie - Mel

[Mel]

Hi everyone, just thought i'd introduce myself - I am a mature (very!) new to Renault, RS197 driver living in East Devon, swapped my Impreza for an 07 RS197 last weekend.
What a great little car! I do miss the outright grunt of the Impreza but the Clio is a very good all rounder, guess I don't need to tell you all that! and I have reduced my running costs significantly.
All I intend to do to it is to get an ITG panel filter and a bluefin- Job done!
Look forward to looking at this site a lot more, cheers - Mel

Hi Jase, and thanks - well it has in terms of basics like insurance and petrol, but I did say that I wouldn't do anything to it a week ago, now planning more POWWWER! lol

Who's your nearest Renault specialist down in Devon.?

 

[Mel]

Haven't had time for a good search yet, did see Rentech @ Portsmouth, can you recommend anyone? I have booked in for a cam belt change with the main dealers in Exeter next week - charging £595 including tensioners, other belts and bits, seems a lot, they where asking £700 + initially though.

Welcome Mel!!!

Ah, I remember the ''just an ITG Panel'' line well... I've used that one myself.

Welcome we've just come from an STI but love the Clio some cars are just getting too fast and uneconomical for the road.

Greetings, I'll be the weird one and ask for pictures of your old car?

Sure you'll enjoy the Clio just as much, it's just a very different beast.
