Im doing more and more miles at work so im tempted to oust the 200 and get a diesel.......never owned one but its getting to the point where its needed.
A nice Audi A4 or BMW 320D does 50mpg average and performance figures are not exactly poor.
Never thought I would get a Audi/BMW or even a...
A seat you have to get in and out of carefully...sounds awesome.
My originals have no wear and I get in and out of them as I would any other car.
Glad I don't have to tell passengers to get in the car 'carefully' otherwise the seats will eventually fall apart.
Everyone has opinions, doesn't make them fact.
When I come to sell the 200 in a few years, it 'may' be slightly harder to sell but I will still sell it.
I chose not to have the recaros as I didn't want them, I prefer the standard seats.
It's pretty rude to call someones car 'pauper spec' and...
You say that but I had a Twingo a few years back and Renault were great when I took it in under warranty.
I got a courtesy car for 2 days and they fixed the issue.
I realise not every time is they going to happen but my experience was good.
The only issue I am worried about is the gearbox one...
When I called Renault (and it also said this on the letter I got), that extended warranties through Renault can only be purchased if you are still in the term of your existing warranty.
I.e, if you are out of the initial 3 year one, you can't purchase an extended one as there is nothing to...
Right so...
Previous to owning the 200, I had a Saxo VTS so idiots trying to race me was normal, although they tended to be boy racer sorts.
However, now I have a 200, there seems to be an abundance of prats who see the car and for some reason try to prove their car is faster.
Im joining the...
They can but most people are never going to buy a cosmetically poor condition car, no matter how well its been looked after mechanically.
My housemate has a Black Corsa and the bodywork is a state, even after I took 5 hours to detail it for him.
He reckons he is going to get 3 grand for...
Hello
I keep getting a message popping up on the Sat Nav/Bluetooth display screen saying 'Low Battery'.
Whats it referring to?
The car?
The keyfob?
A device connected to it via blue tooth?
Cheers
I wouldn't even waste my energy racing him, he should be embarrased for driving a boring and ugly car.
I had a prius up my arse yesterday...yep a prius. I was doing 70mph in the fast lane of a dual carrage way (overtaking a HGV) and he was so close I could barely see his bumper. I just moved...
Hello
My 200 has Bluetooth and built in Sat nav and I wanted to replace the HU with an aftermarket one.
I am guessing the new HU will work independantly of the Sat nav screen and its fine to replace?
Thanks
Not being rude but you must have known these things were due before going away?
I know exactly when my MOT, Tax and Insurance are due and that's without looking at the paperwork.
Perhaps this is a lesson so be more on the ball with things as important as these..
Hello
When I bought the 200, the guy at Renault showed me how the Cruise control and speed limiter worked.
I select the button down by the handbrake and then use the + and - buttons on the steering wheel to adjust the numbers.
Mine now no longer seem to be working, I am pushing + and - and...
Such a difference between the 182 and the 200 if this is accurate.
Resetting it on the motorway and poodling at 65mph in 6th still won't hit much above 40mpg bang on.
Mine is 60% motorway and 40% town and the average is currently on 32mpg.
Managed to get 40.1mpg average :)
Reset the trip computer and stayed at 65mph for a couple of miles.
Shame its not that normally, combined seems to be 33-35 which is not so bad I guess!
I would probably have the recaros, buy some standards and swap them and sell the recaros.
I don't want bucket seats, I don't find them comfortable and I see no use for them on the road other than trying to show them off.
Although driving a french car is nothing to show off about, recaros or...
Yep i did choose to have the standard seats, the recaros did nothing for me.
Having owned cars before with bucket seats, they are just not comfortable on long drives and simply not worth the money.
They are there for show in my opinion, i would rather more comfy seats and a few extra quid in...
Guess if you spend that amount on some seats then you have to try and justify it to everyone you can....
The standard seats are fine, they are even shaped slightly like buckets anyway.
I have hit corners hard and not once has the seat not held me properly.
Recaro's would be a nice upgrade I...
