    Twingo Renaultsport Gordini Number List

    Only just thought to come and update this - part ex'd #70 a month ago. Against a BMW 535d Touring. Just a touch different :D

    [Sold]Standard Twingo Gordini 133 '11 £7.5k south Manchester

    £6500, then some more off to fix up the wheels, a scratch and a dink. Ford wanted to offer me £7500 a month ago but couldn't find anyone to take it no matter the money. I really should've sold it privately but would've had to fix up the same bits and keep pushing to get warranty bits sorted...

    [Sold]Standard Twingo Gordini 133 '11 £7.5k south Manchester

    ...and it's gone, part-exed for depressingly little; the Gordini seems to be going off a cliff. Possibly because of both the facelift and Renault saying "yeah, we shouldn't have done that." Slightly different car now - 535d MSport Touring :D

    do you think 2 years is to long for 1st service

    Yes. Renault think so too - I only noticed last night while digging out all the docs that they "recommend" an "optional" interim service for low-mileage owners. At start-up mine was showing the service and traction lights in the run-up to and immediately after my 2 year service; it became less...

    [Sold]Standard Twingo Gordini 133 '11 £7.5k south Manchester

    I thought that when I updated but time is an issue - last night I had an eyetest and the weather wasn't great, good weather today but I need to get to the allotment. And hopefully pub; I should say time and effort really :D but ultimately getting it done is for my own benefit!

    [Sold]Standard Twingo Gordini 133 '11 £7.5k south Manchester

    I reckon I'll probably put it on Autotrader before long, but that's a faff I'd rather not deal with. Price taken down to minimum - £7.5k - without fixing up the minor things that need doing to put it on a forecourt.

    [Sold]Standard Twingo Gordini 133 '11 £7.5k south Manchester

    I thought so, and as I say the nearest age/mileage matches on Autotrader are aiming higher but that doesn't necessarily represent reality :D

    Cheers. If you or anyone else thinks I'm being outrageous with the price, chip in.

    Yeah, sorry, started writing it in Tesco, filling it in now.

    [Sold]Standard Twingo Gordini 133 '11 £7.5k south Manchester

    I've decided I need something a bit more comfortable so rather than mod I'm moving on. It's not the suspension especially, I'm a freak who is 6'2" with the legs of a 5'9" person and a spine that could be used in a neck transplant on a giraffe. It has all the normal Gordini stuff - it's blue...

    No auto lights or wipers on new RS133????

    I've got both and mine's an '11 pre-facelift! Dunno if it was different on Gordinis though. No idea when it was manufactured mind.

    No auto lights or wipers on new RS133????

    You can turn the disable the auto lights and wipers if you want.

    GhostZ's Gordini RS Progress (Time to end this chapter ...)

    Are you sure you fitted it the right way round?

    Longer 5th gearing

    Cheers for all that. It means very little to me but if I do ever decide to start doing stuff to the car, 5th is still on the list and this info will probably be useful to any transmission place I take it to for a quote.

    What fuel do you use in your 133?

    They've upped the cleaning and friction-reduction stuff 25% or something, presumably that means they had to tweak something else to keep within the 98RON spec. Edit: Advertising guff

    Clutch biting point

    Cheers all.

    Clutch biting point

    Just out of interest, where's the normal biting point in an RS? I didn't notice moving from my M3 (with reasonably new clutch/flywheel) to the Twingo, and hadn't paid much attention since as it wasn't much different in my other half's Micra. What HAS made me think about it is her new Focus...

    Tesco's Momentum 99 sucks?

    To be honest its probably best - shell v-power vouchers mean I only put 20l in at a time but this afternoon I brimmed my other half's new focus st with 50l of 95ron and was shocked at what it came to.

    Tesco's Momentum 99 sucks?

    How do you get an MPG readout?! Mine doesn't do that when cycling through with the right-hand stalk; is it a Monitor feature? Or facelift?

    Rattle in the back

    I'm on my second set of official Renault foam pads after the first lasted under a month. I've found putting the seats flat and forwards is the best antidote.
