    I know this is an old thread but just thought id update, jake bought a megane 1.4 and is happily driving it now with no problems fingers crossed and his insurance was 1351 with Admiral so not to bad.

    Is it working?

    Make sure the timing belt AND water pump have been changed at the specified intervals, a failed water pump very nearly killed my mate's 1.4 Megane since it was neglected when the cambelt was done.

    Nice one :D

    I quite like this shape Megane tbh, and my mate's had well over 100k on the clock when he sold it. That issue (his fault really), dodgy handbrake lever and dodgy airbag wiring under the drivers seat causing the light to come on were the only real issues.
