Description
If you want a car that genuinely puts a smile on your face, this Renaultsport Megane 225 delivers every time. It’s done exactly that for me — both through the way it drives and through the satisfaction of bringing it back to this condition. This is an honest, unmodified, enthusiast-owned example with only two previous owners. And it's a rare 5-door one so you can easily drive with a family.
Work completed under my ownership - all carried out with reliability and originality in mind:
• Timing belt, aux belt & water pump replaced (Mar 2023)
• New rear discs & pads (2023)
• New interior fan
• New ABS sensor (front driver side)
• Replacement clockspring & steering wheel controls
• Windscreen professionally resealed
• Seat belts cleaned and returned to full functioning
• New spark plugs
• New outer tie rods
• New wheel bolts
• New driver-side inner tie rod
• A/ C drain cleared
• New exhaust mounts
• Replaced loom plug connector for rear light cluster
• New clutch return spring & clutch master cylinder connection
• Dash & centre console plastics stripped and resprayed with matching rubberised finish
• Interior door handles refurbished & resprayed
• Key repair to rare remote lock/ unlock (comes with 2 keys 1 keyless, 1 not)
• Outer door handles resprayed & lacquered
• New MTEC performance front discs & pads
• Original stereo retained with discreet Bluetooth integration
• Upgraded Pioneer front speakers
• New rear registration lights
Still possibly needs attention:
• Offside ineer tie rod is an advisory. Will be done before sale.
• The bodywork is one area where it could use attention. There are a few small dents and scrapes but it still looks good. MOT till Apr 2027.
I have a service logbook whch has all the stamps in it from new, the majority from Renault in the early years.
The iconic silhouette still looks fantastic, and this car has been refurbished with care, attention, and a focus on longevity rather than shortcuts. It’s ready to be enjoyed daily or appreciated as a rising modern classic.
