    External Knocking!

    Had my 197 for just over two years now and over the past few months its developed a slight knocking noise at low speeds (below 40mph) on bumpy road. It seems to be coming from the mid to rear of the underside of the car. I asked the local garage to investigate it during a service but they...

    Ultra Red 197 FF

    What paint did you use on the diffuser? I was going to do mine this weekend and realised the paint I bought shouldn’t be exposed to temperatures over 50 degrees (not sure how hot the exhaust gets in that area). Have you had any issues with paint bubbling near the exhausts?

    Amp/tuner

    He needs to know if the aux point is in the amp. Ordered some radio keys so I can have a proper look.

    Amp/tuner

    Cheers. Just got some radio keys off eBay to take a look. I've been in contact with a guy on eBay and he's been really helpful, he has a wiring kit etc I just need to find out what's in the amp. I'm useless at audio stuff so not going to attempt to make my own lead.

    Cheers. I'm going to need radio keys then. I need to have a look and see if there is an aux input in there. Looking to wire my ipod in.

    Amp/tuner

    Does anyone know how to get in to the amp/tuner under the drivers seat? I have taken the front of the outer casing off but now it looks like the front of the actual amp itself needs to be removed. I assume it has something to do with the 4holes but can't see if they a screws or not.

    197 Steering Wheel Melt

    A company the size of Renault will have whole departments dedicated to material selection. How can they over look the simple function of not disintegrating under the underwhelming temperatures of the English summer! My wheel has started to melt and its pretty bad now. Has anyone had any luck...

    Rear Diffuser

    Does anyone know if the 197 diffuser comes in a gloss black finish? If so where can you get them? I read in the PR for the 197 that the diffuser is actually supposed to produce around 40kg of downforce. It does take up a large amount of the rear under tray so it must do something, well you’d...
