+1 This to be honest.

Yes because no-one who has had a gearbox issue knows how to heel and toe.....? dear me. Stop trying to make yourself sound superior...there is the possibility that a failure can be due to a fault, as evidenced by the fact that they've since changed the synchromesh on newer boxes... My crunch...

lol implying that it's the driver at fault - this just isn't true. I've had 5 cars and never had a single gearbox problem. I had my 197 for a 11k miles when the 4th syncro died...it is a definite problem with the boxes. I also know someone who had their's swapped out at 9k miles and then had to...

Nope, the car is completely standard.

Thanks for the suggestions - I'll have a look

Thanks for the replies, Yes had them checked too. :(

Yep it's still there if I: - Coast in gear - Coast in neutral - Coast with clutch pedal depressed Vibration gets less as you slow down however is still noticeable.

I've got a vibration problem that's getting gradually worse - It basically feels like I'm driving with square wheels (they're not bent at all). I can feel vibration through the whole car - steering, seat and pedals at pretty much all speeds however it gets worse at higher speeds. At motorway...

Cheers for all the replies guys. I'm 6' 2" and spend a fair bit of time in the gym so the recaro's are just too snug a fit for me and as such just don't find them as comfortable. My standard seats aren't quite as snug. I realise it might affect resale value but at the end of the day if they...

If you click on the RS Clio it redirects you to the RenaultSport site where it does have some prices - i.e. list price of the car and cost of extras, but it doesn't appear to state how much a particular colour would cost. Like I said above ^^ I presume it'll just be metallic paint so would be...

Really? Didn't know this. It'd help if they'd put the colour options on the website! EDIT: Still have black in the online brochure - just spotted the link after delving a little deeper. Or is this out of date now? I presume it would just be classed as the "metallic paint" option?

Ha! Call me boring but I'm really not that bothered about recaros at all for some reason. The standard seats in my 197 are pretty good to be fair. I'd be using it as a daily runner and when I've sat in them both in the 197, I thought the standard seats were more comfy. I'm not too bothered...

General question and looking for some buyer experiences. I'm liking the sound of the 4 years warranty, servicing and 0% HP on a new 200 (standard not cup) but just wondered how much It would set me back? You used to be able to spec them up online but that functionality seems to have gone...

Cheers guys. Probably won't bother if it means the box coming off to be honest - nothing wrong with it (yet) - more of an annoyance. Thanks.

Hi guys, Got a small niggle with my 197 in that the clutch pedal is really quite stiff - makes your leg ache sometimes in traffic! Clutch operation itself is fine; no slipping and all gears engage fine - gear changes are a bit stiff and crunchy from cold but fine once warmed for a few minutes...
