Is wolverhampton a specialist dealer I could try them as that's where I bought it.

Asked before but is it possible to retrofit the renault sport monitor??
Apparently there are additional sensors missing if you don't spec Monitor V2 from the factory.

However, I'm fairly sure most of the data is standard OBDII output, so I'm not convinced this is true.

Where to get hold of the software from though (other than Renault), I have no idea

Worth checking. As you can see from the picture below the alignment of the passenger door is out and although it's booked in its gradually got worse. On closer inspection it turns out the bolted in metal hook/hoop that the door catch locks into is totally loose. Glad it didn't come out but was clearly on its way.

It's a lovely sound from the Akra. There are probably cheaper ways to make it sound good though. Check out CGR systems. They've got some deals on over on rsmegane.com

Is it OK if I went from the standard ps2 235 40 18 to a pss 245 35 18? I read there are no issues with doing so and I've done a 10mm increase on cars I used to own with no issue.

Only one place stocks pss in 235 40 18 so I've emailed to check if it's not a mistake. Can't find them listed on michelin UK site in 235 40 18.

It's fine. I was going to do it before I bought my speedlines.

Out of interest, is anybody interested in a spare set of 4 18" Tibor Alloys?!

Tibors rarely come up. They'll sell quickly. I bought a set of 5 for £300 delivered but I don't think the seller new the demand.

I'd have a set of I weren't about to spend all my pocket money on some tyres.

Going 245 40 18....

Sorry to keep being a nuisance but is this OK? Virtually no difference on will it fit website.

I don't want to end up with odd handling characteristics. I read a thread over on megane forums where a guy had changed from 235 40 18 ps2 to 245 40 18 ss and he raved about them saying there were no adverse changes.

The 245 35 18 oem size ss were bmw tyres or something and had a 92 load rating. Plus 245 40 18 ss are about 550 fitted. Compared to about 630 fitted for the 235 40 18.

They've got a little scuff (can't even blame the OH!) but I will be posting pictures the weekend, once I get my speed lines fitted.
They will come with 3 tyre pressure sensors, but i was told its best to use the ones already fitted to your car, as they can throw a wobbly and need recoding.

My son got this bargain on Saturday from Lincoln, it was pre registered with 11 miles on the clock.
It's a Nav with cup chassis, only had a little go, but it's superb.

Just waiting on a response from my dealer about the Knock sensor software issue causing boost/power reduction when hot.

He hasn't heard anything about it apparently, but some chaps on the RSMegane forum seem to have theirs booked in for a software re-flash elsewhere.

If anyone head's to the ring, just stick 102 octane in to be safe biggrin

I've seen a CupS for sale in City motors Bristol. Silver, on 19's with R Link, cloth interior, manual AC controls, it's up for 21k. Looks a decent spec. Might be worth a look for anyone who's after one.

does anyone elses window rubber make a creaking noise? I read megs QD would fix it for a while.

Basically where the driver/passenger windows meet the rubber at the top it makes a noise when driving. Drop it a few mm and its fine.

Yep mine is exactly the same. I thought it was something inside the door itself until I researched it and saw the issue is longstanding with the Meg. I haven't got around to resolving it yet but have some silicon lubricant to try first (hopefully without making a total mess).

Sprayed a load of megs qd on a microfibre and rubbed the door seals all over and the creaking has stopped.

Also got the 245 40 18 supersports fitted today and the grip already is insane. My God the grip is ridiculous. Barely any difference size wise between the 245 and the 235 40 18 ps2's I can post photos to compare if needed.

Going in for tracking at wheels in motion as my steering wheel is out a little.
