Anything to beware of on the R26 230.

Aware of tyres and fuel but what's it like on oil and servicing and is torque steer an issue?

Torque steer not an issue due to the LSD...

[S5llr]

Oil and servicing is just like any normal car, annually. I've been about £200 each time.

Window regulators however I'm on my 3rd drivers and 2nd passengers. £75 a pop!

As you mentioned, fuel and tyres are expensive. I get between 19 and 23 mpg average depending on my travel and driving mood.

Great car though.

Great cars - had 2 (kinda).

Injectors sometimes fail, but have often been replaced under warranty. Otherwise, despite what you'll read on pistonheads about french cars, bullet-proof tbh.

They love a trackday too.

Injectors was the only issue I had, as mentioned above. Standard brake discs tended to go wobbly on trackdays but I think if I bothered to change to a more suitable pad, I won't have had these issues so much.

Torque steer is virtually non-existant. The double axis suspension geometry (perfohub/revoknuckle/hiperstrut whatever you want to call it) is mainly to thank for for this. GKN diff gives endless grip.

Nothing major to go wrong, Window regulators as said, other than that just look for general good condition, full service history and make sure it's got a decent set of tyres on it when purchasing
