My name is Wilson, and I’m really pleased to be joining the RS Megane Club.<br />
I currently own a 2008 Renault Megane 2 Sport Tourer 1.6 16V automatic, which I’ve had for around two and a half years now. I’m an engineer by profession, and over time I’ve started carrying out more of my own maintenance and inspection work on the car. It’s been a mix of challenges and successes, but I’ve really enjoyed the process of learning and improving my skills.<br />

<br />
My name is Conrad and I’m from South Africa. After about three years of debating whether to sell or keep it, I’ve finally decided to take on the 2007 Megane RS225 that has been in our family since 2011 as a project car rather than letting it go.<br />
<br />
The car was last parked in 2020 when COVID hit, and since then it’s been a bit challenging to get it back on the road. Maintaining and sourcing parts for these cars in South Africa isn’t always easy, but I’m committed to doing my best...<br />

Reezo here from SA. Just wanted to say pleased to e-meet you all. Such a wonderful site and such an abondance of knowledge and amazing cars! The Renault RS love in SA is small I would say, not sure why, maybe due to lack of availability of parts, knowledge, tuners etc But it is mostly respected by all when taken care of correctly. <br />
<br />
Back in 2011, I owned the Megane F1 then 2020 a R26 and now, another F1. The first 2 cars were sold. <br />
<br />
Hoping to learn alot from you guys.<br />
<br />
Take care!!]]></content:encoded>

<br />
Having previously had an R26 I&#039;m now looking at returning to the fold in the form of a 275 Nav. Been to look at a car today with 60k miles and good history. I&#039;m wondering if anyone knows the car, the registration number is CK65ETJ, silver. <br />

Does the nav come with a LSD as standard or is that just with the cup pack? I don&#039;t think this car has the cup but I can&#039;t recall how you know. <br />

Any help will be much appreciated.]]></content:encoded>
