Right, turns out the car is registered fine with the DVLA its the fact that my insurers (marks&spencers) don't have any details of a Megane 225.

Tried phoning Admiral as well and they said the same. Contacted the Renault dealer who laughed and informed us that they had sold 4 225s this week.

Called Renaults own insurers who said that they hadn't even got details of the 225!!!! What a fecking joke.

Please can you help...I need the names and if possible numbers of your insurers so I can get a quote.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I went through confused.com and found my megane on their fine. Confused got me a cheap quote with Admiral, again, they have my car down as a renault sport. Not a 225, which is where you might be going wrong.

The car is a Renault Megane renaultsport, Engine size 1998. I didn't mention 225 as it means nothing to them. I did the same with other insurance companies.

Phone number for Admiral is 0800 600800

Let us know how you get on.

Yep, confused for me to.

Best quote in the end was Norwich Union direct.

Right looks like I've managed it with Elephant.co.ukl

The quote went up slightly to £830 but considering it was £750 on what M&S thought was a 160bhp Dynamique thats not so bad, thats with a £300 excess.

When I got mine last year the cheapest I could get it was £2300 - thats in Northern Ireland, I was 24 and 1 yrs no claim. I though I was doing well to get it down to £1250 this year by being over 25 and sticking the girlfriend on it.

I waited 3 months for mine so if you order now you'll get a new shape one in a fair while!!

Or you could just go buy one NOW haha. You can get a real bargain if you get one Renault already have registered!!

If i were looking for a new 225 now i'd be looking for one of the limited edition F1 ones. I think they are lovely!
