Hi mate - unfortunately the answer is no. Renault have deleted the hardware module needed to run RS Monitor on these cars. I also have a 2021 trophy and have spoken to Renault UK (Renault Australia have NFI) who confirmed this for me.

Welcome to the Renaultsport family and in particular the Megane IV cohort!! I am sure you will continue to be impressed by the capabilities of the car as you get to know it better. They are a pleasure to drive and are incredibly capable whether you are cruising around town or hitting your favourite piece of windy road!! Enjoy!

Welcome to our forum Pete! I agree with the previous comments - I have been a K-Tec customer for over 10 years with my 3 Renaultsport cars and they have always been great to deal with. Shipping costs are always an issue and it seems they have gone through the roof with all offshore suppliers since Covid unfortunately. Next time I need anything (there is always something to buy 😆😆) I will be sure to contact you.

I actually regret not buying a tonic orange but I thought I was too old!! A 57 year old bloke with grey hair doesn’t really suit the image with the colour!! This might be a bit controversial but IMO the liquid yellow doesn’t suit the body shape like it does on the Meg 3 - I am not sure what it is with the colour but quite a few fellow RS owners have said the same thing to me.

No - he didn’t buy flame red 😆😆😆

Welcome to the RS family Simon!! You have an awesome car and I am sure you will have a smile on your face every time you go for a drive.

Unfortunately it is not a simple process!! I ordered a sticker a couple of months ago and despite several messages and posts On the forum I am yet to get any reply (or sticker. Very disappointing guys!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I am waiting for a sticker I ordered and paid for a couple of months ago. Can someone please let me know when I might expect it to be sent??!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It is all sealed but it is rough in places and some narrow bridges along the way. Pretty scenery though!!

Ray I am still alive (but almost died a month ago!!!) - that's why I have been inactive for a while!! This new member has an interesting story to tell about his 275, but I will leave it up,to him to tell!!

just made my donation

Welcome to the forum and congrats on the purchase!! One of the great things about this forum (and the Renault Brand) is the great mix of ages, backgrounds etc who love and drive these cars! You can never be to young or to old to enjoy one of the best and rewarding driving experiences (a reasonable amount of) money can buy! I hope you love the car and you have bought the best colour IMO - awesome!! Which part of the country are you from?

I too own a red 2008 197 and I can answer some of your questions. These cars did not come with a jack ex factory. They are available on Ebay UK for a bit over $120 inc freight (last time I checked). You can buy the puncture repair kit from Renault but any tyre inflation kit from an Auto store will do. If you want to get the car serviced - try RenoTech in Sydney. they are renault trained mechanics and many members on this forum use them (me included). their details are listed on this forum. Enjoy your 197 and welcome to the forum!

Welcome and before Wade gets in - the answer is "RenaultSports"!!! Seriously though, great choice of car - the 200 is an absolute rocket and should provide you with lots of driving fun!! Use this site as a source of information and advice when it comes to all things "RS", plus feel free to share your experiences with your car. Where are you from?

Bonjour, Bienvenue sur notre forum! Mon nom est Paul et je vis à Tamworth. Je possède une Clio 2008 197 en rouge que j'aime. Je suis très jaloux de ce que vous allez obtenir une Megane RS275 - ils regardent incroyable !! Bienvenue à nouveau! Sorry - I cheated!! I know a little French, but I am certain your English is better than my French!!! So I got some help from Google to fill in the words I forgot - welcome to our forum!!

Nice to see another Red 197 on the forum - welcome!!! Yours looks pretty stock (unlike mine!) - any other plans for modifications? As others have mentioned, have a look at KTec in the UK - they have a lot of parts and accessories for the 197 if you are considering spicing the car up a bit!

There is definitely no "racing" at Winton!! Cars are set onto the track in small groups based on criteria such as vehicle performance and driver "confidence". So if you are a "newbie" you will be grouped with other like drivers so that you won't be stuck with seasoned drivers who will be much faster than you!! I ran at Winton in 2012 and it is a very safe yet enjoyable track to drive and is a good way to ease yourself in as there is not pressure or expectations of lap times etc, although the ones trying to claim "the nuts" keep a close eye on lap times!! It is a great day out and is a good way to learn the capabilities of yourself and your vehicle. I cant wait to do it again next month!

I subscribe to this magazine via digital download. There are some amazing french performance cars in the uk and mainland Europe and the articles have given me some ideas and plans for my car!! Getting a subscription is worth the money in my opinion!! Paul

Ray, my car went to Adelaide (and I still miss her everyday!!). as a previous owner, the Monaco GP is an amazing car -power, style, comfort and the turbo kick!! Welcome and enjoy!

Hi all, I was not able to make the Nats As I live in Tamworth, how can I get hold of a couple of grey stickers to put on my new beast? I am happy to pay postage if need be! thanks, Paul

Nice one Nelson - perhaps if you put a couple of white stripes along the bonnet and roof of the car you might feel a little more comfortable??!! Awesome looking car and welcome to the Megane club! Paul

Welcome to our community and love your car - BTW awesome custom plates - maybe a good suggestion as a purchase option for those attending this years' nationals??!! These could be displayed at home/work as a "badge of honour" for those who make the effort to attend the nationals?

Tezza - location is not yet decided. Last years was at benalla/winton raceway. As for this year, that is a very good question? Gents??!!!

PS - keep in touch with this forum - it is THE best way to get to know your car before and after you take delivery. I find the info from other members really enriches my ownership experience - and don't be afraid to put your own posts up as often as you like! Also come to our annual meet in Spetember and learn from and enjoy the company of other RS members - it is a blast!!

I also have a 250 and it is the duck's guts!! Unbelievable handling, performance and great looks makes it in my opinion one of the most desirable cars this side of $100K!!! I hope the four months goes quickly for you - you will be a happy chappy once it finally gets here. Congrats on buying what I believe is the THE best hatch on the market - full stop!!
