  1. Hi all.
    I've joined as I'm going to be in the market for a 12/13 plate Megane 265 in the new year.
    Hope some of you can give me pointers on what to look our for, and what to upgrade?
     
  2. Update: 22/01/18
    Well I've done it, bought myself 13 plate 265 Cup with 40k milage. Gonna pick it up on Feb 3rd.
    Can wait :grinning::grinning:

  24. Looks great, but I would say that, mine is very similar lol
     
  25. I really am blown away about how good it is to drive.
    I've owned a few fast ish motors over the years, but the Megane really is amazing for the money I paid.
    :tongueclosed:
     
  26. That does look good in red :smirk:
     
  27. I almost went for a white one, but this one popped up for sale about the same time.
    I went to have a look, and was sold on the colour as soon as I saw it.
     
  28. Fellow swindoner here!

    Mines also a 2012 but a 250, one of the last.

    I think i've seen the grey one in Basset parked in Whitehill Ln industrial area, theres also a jet black one i see on my way home from work sometimes but i don't think it's on the forum.

    If you're thinking of getting a detail or something i can recommend Deepgloss details, he was in the above industrial estate (when i saw the grey one!) but now he's in swindon. Has a facebook page.
     
  29. Nice, thanks
     
  30. Made a visit to the guys at RSTuning Leeds today.
    Great guys, very friendly and Paul sorted some issues I was having with the way the engine was pushing power out.
    :grinning:

  31. What issues were you having mate
     
  32. Hi
    The car had been mapped by the previous owner to run on a diet of 95 fuel mostly as it was a London based car, not traveling very far or fast.
    When I started using it with a little more beans, and more distance. I was getting some unusual fuel mpg and strange flat spots in the rev range.
     
  33. Did you have it mapped at rs tuning?
     
  34. Yeh, it was already mapped remotely a few years ago.
    I decided on Paul's advice from RSTuning to bring it in and have it rolling road mapped to get it fine tuned back for 99 fuel.
    Drives real nice now.
