225 Trophy Rough Idle
I've just put a deposit on a 39k miles 55 plate Megane 225 Trophy. However, when I test drove it it had a v. rough idle. The dealer claimed this was due to it being very low on petrol. Seems unlikely. Should I walk away?

Thanks Joe. The drive was 5 mins on a country rd, 3 mins on a dual c/way and 10 mins in a traffic jam. the car comes with a 12 month parts and labour warranty

Re: 225 Trophy Rough Idle
I wouldn't let it put me off too much, only thing is I the prevous owners hammered it then that's cause the rough idle and further problems down the line..
I would push for them to fill it to see if it goes tho..
