Good Morning,
Let me introduce myself, I am Mark from Cheshire and have a couple of Golf R32's (mk4&5) the Mk4 is kept in heated garage and only comes out a few times a year (I am an admin on the R32OC). For the last 2 x years have owned a Twingo GT as my daily, well this week I decided to upgrade my daily to a White Clio 197 Cup with 66,000 miles and seems tidy, I chose the clio as pre VW I owned a Renault 5 GT Turbo, Clio Williams and a Clio Trophy.
So far I am not that impressed with it, nothing major I just don't get excited getting into it maybe because it has a few issues that I make the driving experience less fun and involved:
I will list them below: (and maybe you experienced 197 owners can give me some tips and cost ideas??)
1, When driving spiritedly there is a crunch into 3rd gear
2, Drivers side knocking sounds like a top mount? - annoying as fcuk
3, Alarm makes a horrible screech after car is locked (I Think I have worked out its the bonnet close sensor) - Can this be wired out if I take off and solder wires together
Anyway Hello and I look forwards to your help and advise,
I have added a couple of photos
