    Anyone know this 200 ? NV10 OYR

    I went to view a Clio 200 today at SNOWS used car centre in Waterlooville. In the images it looks great and reads great, however on closer inspection I'm not sure. Original wheels poorly painted/dipped , mis match of budget tyres, Brembo red calipers need re-painting, missing locking wheel...

    Sold my CUP 172...Now what to replace it with?

    Parts prices from Honda for CTR only items are more expensive than the retail from Renault on RS only model parts. There seems to be a good base of people on this forum braking 1*2 models so your never short of options. General service items for the CTR are no more than any other hatch from a...

    Sold my CUP 172...Now what to replace it with?

    You simpy can't compare the two cars, there leagues apart. The Civic is a nice comfortable place to be with an emphasis on the driver and a nice supportive seat and most of all a great driving position for someone nearly 6 foot tall. The Civic can be used as a daily without compromise and even...

    Sold my CUP 172...Now what to replace it with?

    so the Golf GTI I was hoping to view today was sold last night and the mini whilst fast and comfortable just has to many issues that could potentially result in big repair bills. I test drove a TT 180 earlier in the week but the driving experience just left me feeling cold, shame though as it...

    Sold my CUP 172...Now what to replace it with?

    Just returned from test driving the Cooper S and got to say it's not for me. I have never driven a car with so much torque steer, and it wasn't even in sport mode. It needed four tyres, wheel re-furb, only had one key and a mis-fire causing a strange hesitation under load. In truth after...

    Sold my CUP 172...Now what to replace it with?

    I've narrowed it down to either a 2010 spec Mini Cooper S or Golf GTI Anniversary 25 Year edition. The two examples i've found are under 100k miles with extensive history and have a high spec level.

    Sold my CUP 172...Now what to replace it with?

    This morning I handed over the keys for my 172 Cup, I'm sad to have sold it but glad to have said I got to own one. Sadly the experience wasn't what I'd hoped for what with a poor driving position, hard suspension and simply being unable to use the car to it's full potential due to the state of...

    Clio 172 insurance increases?

    £280 for a 172 Cup with commuting and kept in a garage overnight. Original renewal came through at £720, after applying for a quote from the same insurance company inputting exactly the same details it came up at just £280. I called the insurer who choose to honour the quote due to being a...

    Fitted new complete n/s exterior mirror housing, 12v socket, door contact switches & radio unit. Jobs I've meaning to do for a while and thought I'd make the most of the warmer drier weather on Saturday pm.

    Thinking of buying a 200EDC

    This is true, it's also the same story with the new ALPINE model these will only be sold by a select few dealerships in the country in showrooms separate to the Renault showroom and will have a premium feel to them.

    Thinking of buying a 200EDC

    We're not a "RENAULT SPORT" dealer group. We can sell the cars, parts and carry out service work but only RUK approved dealers have R.S models as demos and on display in showrooms/forecourts. Our dealer group didn't sign up as the market isn't busy enough to warrant having them in stock and...

    Thinking of buying a 200EDC

    I have a 2002 Cup 172 in excellent condition which I enjoy and proud to own. I work in my local Renault dealership and have the chance to purchase a brand new Clio 200EDC for a great price. I have the spec of a Glacier white with the black exterior trim pack. I'm seriously weighing it up but...

I can lock my car up for the day whilst at work return back to it 10 hours later press the button on the key which unlocks the car fine without any issues, I then open...

    Two months of CUP ownership

    One thing that seemed apparent yesterday was peoples desire to pull out on me whilst I was either already on the roundabout indicating for the relevant exit, or driving down a fast B road minding my own business, only then to plod along no where near the speed limit or then take the next turn or...

    Two months of CUP ownership

    Good fun, car was in it's element on clear roads. Might make it a regular thing to go out on a Sunday morning and enjoy the emptiness of Surrey roads.
