Thank you for that link. I think I must be doing something wrong. Both the link and an app I downloaded are producing the exact same code, however, when I turn the headunit on it flashes code. I enter the code using the top row of the preset dials (1, 3, 5 and then down to bottom row, 2? Is this...

Perfect thank you!!!!

popped into my local motor factor at the weekend and I thought I put some fuel system cleaner into my R27 as I've no idea if the previous owner had ever done or when it was last done, and having posted before that I am quite surprised at how tappy these engines are, Slick 50 do a 750ml oil...

Hi all! Is anyone able to help with my radio code issue please?!?!? I disconnected the radio at the weekend not giving any thought to the fact I might need a code to deactivate it! What do I need? Serial number of the radio? Chassis number? And is anyone able to tell me what my code is please...

Maybe a rename needed? The Massey Ferguson Clio 197?

I had the bonnet closed. But to be fair I think having been parked next to another car and the sound bouncing off probably made it sound worse than it is! But it did help in highlight the tap. I think maybe an oil change isn't a bad idea. I've owned the car a month but the previous owner said...

Yeah I think I'll check the exhaust at the weekend. I had the new system fitted and wouldn't mind checking the joints. Was also thinking of buying some exhaust wrap and wrapping the manifold primaries. Did this on my old Caterhams and made such a difference to the under bonnet temp. Anyone else...

Okey dokey, so, I took a very quick and albeit crude video this morning when I parked in a car park as I thought it might pick up the sound bouncing off the car next to me. Having watched the video back I'm not sure if it's just worse because of the sound quality of my phone? Or whatever, but my...

I'll get a vid up tomorrow. But it actually doesn't sound too far off yours. Thanks mate. Feel a little more at ease now! But will still post a vid for others comments!

Hi. Not knowing the characteristics of these engines (197 R27), are they quite a tappy engine or usually quiet as a church mouse?! Not owned my long and to be honest not really noticed it before, but I noticed it very slightly the other day, and more so this evening. Not so when I've the window...

That great thank you. I'll do the temporary fix for now. Mine isn't too bad at the moment, and my cam belt has already been done. So I'll forgo the expense for now. My next main fix after having the front end knock checked is to get the bottom ball joint replaced! Sounds quite labour...

Hi all. Sorry to hijack the thread, does anyone have the link to that how-to fix please? Had a look but couldn't find it!!!! Got a very slight leak myself and wouldn't mind sorting it!! Thanks! Scott

He's my R27 #330/500 in deep black.

You know I've always wondered about this second stage throttle pedal thing! I have it on my Nissan Qashqai as well as the 197. I thought it was something like an overdrive or when depressed maybe switched to a slightly different / adjusted timing map?!

Thanks for your reply @knuckles . So with only a cone air filter and soon to be manifold back decat exhaust do you think this'll be ok volume wise on track? Thanks
