    Clio 200 Front Lip / Splitter (Black Plastic)

    Hi Guys, I used to come on here around 6-7 years ago when i had my 197 cup which i sold for a V6 Clio hence the long absence. I've since somehow ended up with a Clio 200 now, Mk3 non Turbo on a 2009 reg previously owned by somebody on here. The cars near perfect, dream colour/spec etc...

    Hello again, i couldn't stay away :)

    Hey all, just a quick hello as i always seem drawn back to this site despite letting my 197 cup go last year. Nice to see the site full of life, really enjoyed reading some of the progress threads lately. A few of my favourite threads ...

    Cambelt, sadly its my turn

    Good Morning All, Having read a few rather old threads on cambelts, im looking at going down the "buy parts myself" route. What's the latest with regards to doing this, do we have any site sellers etc who can recommend/quote? I'm in the Yorkshire area so will likely give the parts (and car)...

    Coolant

    Cars just been serviced and i'm almost happy, just coolant was mentioned as requiring "drain / replace" etc. Im sure its just main dealer speak so id rather top it up myself although i've no clue what to do or buy....never done this before. Please could someone provide some advice here? :blink:

    Those seats look familiar...

    Exhaust Tips Rattling on 197

    Hello to one and all, its me once more (the one person on here who absolutely hates Clio's more than anything). To me, my 197 is the worst mistake I've probably ever made, i am an idiot. Anyway moving on...I (rather foolishly) decided to take my RS tips off (the little ones) and replace with...

    Exhaust gases only on one side

    Quick question, a colleague from work was behind me the other day and said i only had exhaust gases coming from the left side of the car, none from the drivers side. obviously cold day and all that so you do see most cars spitting from both exhausts...why's mine only one? I'm running a...

    No Steering

    So i got in the Clio to leave work last night, a little red "stop" light came on and the display said "steering fault"..before id ever set off. Naturally turned the car off and on again and everything was jolly, during the journey home i was wondering what would happen if i was moving and the...

    Anyone want a "free" Clio 197 Cup?

    After spending close to £5000 since July 1st 2012 on keeping the Clio road-worthy...my MOT bill has just come back...£630. Apparently there's "play in both front ball joints". This comes after the £1200 bill as my Christmas present for a new exhaust manifold (which Renault did pay 65% of...

    Another Dead Clio

    Driving home Friday, banging / popping noise started. Struggled to top 30mph which isn't a steep ask from a 2009 Clio Cup with 46k miles on the clock. Garage today : Exhaust manifold is hanging off, "wear and tear" they say. £859.00 all in to replace. To put things into perspective, last...

    Exhaust Tips

    Ima 200 honest. finally fitted the second pair i bought, first pair looked way too big. They look daft if your running the standard 197 exhaust. As with just about every mod on the Clio, Renault parts look far better :) Plus fitted them without removing the diffuser, not easy but still...

    Air con broken (again)

    After 4 times in the garage for air con to be fixed, it's broken again. When I put it on, the compressor kicks in and you can here a 'tttssssssss' from the canister (really loud) with only hot air coming from the vents. So far since owning the car since June 30th, I've had working air con...

    Air Con Problems

    Had the air con re-gassed on 17th July, tried it in the car park and it seemed to work although wasn't very cold...thought this was normal so didnt say anything. Cars in the garage (again) with Renault and they are saying the air con is empty, surely if it was a leak they would have noticed...

    Air con, opinions?

    Other than sh*t, how do people find their air con gets on? My 197 cup is actually warmer when its turned on..best with the windows down. It was topped up 2 weeks ago.
