Has anybody got any experience or information on these? I'm really quite tempted but info is quite thin on the ground. ian7675 has attached the following image: ________________________________________ Less than 24 hours to go! |

We have a 1.6 version of this and it's been excellent. I can handle minor issues such as that but it's the engine I'm more concerned with really. I looked on Warrant direct reliability thing that said Renaults have very few engine issues but I don't know about the diesels.________________________________________ Less than 24 hours to go! |

Renault Sport specific parts demand a premium, I think these use specific suspension bits amongst others like the R26.Get yourself over to meganesport.net, been a couple of nice 175s on there which seem to go very well after a remap so should be some knowledge/advice around them. |

I've had a look on Meganesport and don't think I'll bother. It's as I expected, a performance car with running costs to match and I'm sure there are plenty of reliable ones out there but I just can't be bothered any more to constantly do preventative maintenance all the time. Shame really but it looks like I'm destined for a boring £5k derv.________________________________________ Less than 24 hours to go! |

Both go well as standard, disgustingly well after remapping. ________________________________________ 1999 Astor Grey GTi-6 OEM+ (now gone...)2004 Aegean Blue 206 GTi 180 (also gone...) 2006 Skoda Fabia vRS in Sprint Yellow honestly3k wrote: Do you wrestle for a living matt?
