Thinking of getting a 2006 (Oct) 197 in black.
Is there anything to look ( faults/normal problems) at before i go for it?

TIA
Paul.

Yes, a few:

- Recaro wear
- Melting steering wheel
- 'Kangaroo' fault - they skip down the road when cold, an ECU update helps with this
- Alloys blister, but this tends to be the anthracite ones, which a 56 plate probably won't have

Oh and no, the MPG isn't wrong, it really is that bad... :)

Great car though, and superb fun. I have a Black R27 Clio.

Why are you looking to change out of interest?

Thanks for the replys guys.
The one I've seen is a normal with all the extras.
Pack Grand Tourism, so key-less, xenons, light/rain sensor, and so on. and 37000 klm on the clock (23000 miles) with silver wheels.
It just caught my eye at the garage, so had a quick look, I've no idea what they would offer for my meg, I like my meg, but it's now 5 years old and has 65000 klm's (40000 miles), so a big service is due with the timing belt, and who know what next.
The new meg here is very expensive, and i hardly use the car, I can say an average of less that 10 miles a week, it gets a run when i drive to the UK twice a year!
