Want to know the potential pitfalls of owning probably the best-ever front-drive hot hatch? Join us...
Owning a Renaultsport isn’t always as glamourous as it looks. I’ve had eight of them, so I should know. I doubt you need me to tell you that French cars have a bit of a reputation for being unreliable either. Ironically, the six Renaultsports I’ve owned prior to GJ65 BYO have been the most dependable cars I’ve ever owned. So obviously it was time for a change.
The leaking rocker cover gasket was a lucky catch early on thanks to an early belt change at five years instead of six, which might have been otherwise catastrophic for the engine. The other biggy that I’d prepared for was a gearbox rebuild, which seems to be a trait in the 275-variant due to Renault changing to different bearings towards the end of the product lifecycle. Lord knows why.
Even though my car had only covered 39k miles, I figured while the ‘box was off I may as well get a new clutch kit and flywheel fitted. They found minor oil and coolant leaks along with a weeping clutch damper too. So, with a handful of new parts I hadn’t really planned for - on top of having my front Brembo calipers rebuilt - the final bill ended up a grand more than the original quote.
