Just been to look at one on 56 plate done 27k think im going to go for it just need to know that I wont have to put my hand in my pocket, so any known issues? what are servicing costs like? when does the cam belt need doing?

also what they like to live with real mpg?? I do 60 miles a day which is a mix of motorway and iner city driving.

More so on the earlier models, anything pre 57 plate. They changed the gearbox ratio for this very reason

Hmm book fig says 32 combined which I'd be happpy with, so a general concensus is avoid?

Wonder if gear ratio can be easily changed if I'm honest mpg is my biggest concern as I'm currently driving a 1.7 Sri cdti corsa c.

If its anytthing like a 182 which the press seem to think so... You will love it.

My gf has an 07 dynamique and the interior/build quality is an enormous leap forward... Far far better.


Get it bought!

Mine was an 08/08 cup and it was superb. Standard car, out the box. The only dealer visit required in the 12 months I had it was fir a revision to the cold start map and jerkyness when cold.

Bought it today collect Saturday so pics then! If it hasn't had the cold start map will Renault do it free? It was a little bit lumpy from cold!
