Renaultsport Megane Cup S 275

[MikeGoodwin]

Well I bought the car. I checked WBAC for a price and it suggested £19k. I paid £20k. Its a NAV with Cup, 18"s and Recaros. 1 year old in November with 7000 miles, felt it was worth paying that as Ive had my eye on Megs for 3 months and not had the right one come up.

Properly excited. And my god its good to be back in a Renault. Quality item (jk). Will end up fitting the CAE shifter to it I expect as the stock shifter is dreadful.

Mike, try fitting the trophy gearknob. It transformed the gearchange for me.

In what way? Is it heavier?

Yeah. It's metal, and is a little bit heavier, makes the change a lot smoother, and makes it feel more chunky, if that makes sense.

[MikeGoodwin]

It was just the gating that was the issue.

I knew how it would feel before I even drove it. The knob itself is fine its just I found it difficult to find gears during the test drive.

Ill get used to it or fit the CAE.

Lovely car Mike. Enjoy it. These deals are really tormenting me, so tempting.

My delivery date has come forward by a week

[baptistsan]

Anyone else having their insurance company insisting on a tracker?

Currently insured with a Scouse Queen, renewal came through. Still running the Skoda. Called them up, informed them that I would need to change policy details once the new car arrived and wanted a ballpark figure for the that. Got the quote, all good.
Delivery date comes forward, I phone them to arrange cover to start from then. Am now being told that the car won't be covered for theft unless a tracker is put on the car?!
So what changed in 5 days?

[MikeGoodwin]

Just got quotes for mine. £370 @27 with 10 yrs ncd. No points or crashed.

Not bad... No mention of trackers.

[baptistsan]

Who was that with if you don't mind me asking?

Thank you.

[MikeGoodwin]

Hastings. And that was just using go compare. So ive yet to delve deeper and see if I can get it cheaper.

5000 miles, parked on driveway. SDP&C

[baptistsan]

Thanks for that.

Really odd that when I use the Meerkats the Scouse Queen comes top, zero mention of 'you won't be covered for theft'?!

[Butter Face]

That is quite an oddity! Haven't seen that before!

[baptistsan]

Me either. Maybe the second chap has it wrong.

Have emailed their customer care, will see what I get back.

Slight thread deviation, does anyone in here work for Renault. I need a new wheel, and wanted a quote.

Feel safe in the knowledge that you're not the only clumsy retard out there, we can celebrate our ineptness together
