Following on from my recent return to the forum, I've been on the lookout for a 200. I've seen a few sheds, over priced dreamers then found a red 200. A deal was made with the garage only to find that the HPI check brought outstanding finance. So I left it. I'd been looking at this RB 200 cup...

Hi All About five years ago I said goodbye to this beaut as I bought my first house. Currently driving a Seat Leon FR550 that's on it's last legs, rust patches, lots of smoke etc. The Clio itch is now back and I'm on the lookout for a 200 so I'm looking forward to seeing what's changed in...

Just been chatting to RSC Europe who quoted me £780 for a new shop soiled box. I said about how they used to be £354 but apparently they're now rare boxes. Tried some guy on eBay for a reconned box for £365 plus £50 posted, he phoned me to say that postage was actually double that and it wasn't...

So it's happened, 4th gear likes to crunch now and again along with my release bearing on the clutch went ages ago. Once people have replaced clutchs and gearboxes, have they simply discarded them or is there somewhere that would purchase them to be refurbed? It'd be nice to get a little bit of...

Just put the clio through MOT and had an advisory of 'slight play in inner, 'steering'' ball joint. I've had a search around but might not be using the correct terms. Has anybody else had this? Is it possible to change just the ball joint? If so is it a mega job or will Renault do their usual...

With my release bearing going and clutch replacement imminent I’m about to order a new clutch. I’ve been looking on here and notice that a lot of people order the slave cylinder at the same time as a new clutch. It’s a well-known fact that my mechanical knowledge is appalling so I ask; Should...

Went up to Castle Combe this weekend for the Forge Performance Car Action Day. Great day out with a variety of the cars and minimal amount of 'chav' content. Following my short lived track session last year (Fiesta in wall brought out the red flags), I said I'd never do another track session at...

Saw a slightly modded albi blue 197 going eastbound on the m5 at about 4 PM today Anybody on here ?

So usually when I break something on my 197 I find simular threads via the search function but not this one. When driving hard (around the gear shift light rpm) my car gets stuck in gear. Now I push the clutch in but i cant physically take the car out of the gear it's in. The obvious answer...

So my clio has developed a squeal which is only really noticeable on Idle with windows down. Seems to be coming from the clutch when it's all the way out. If you press the clutch in even if It's just a tiny bit....The noise disappears. Is my clutch on the way out or can it be saved?

This afternoon I've been through 20 pages of Recaro repair threads but still would like to know a bit more. My Recaros have wear on 3 out of the 4 bolsters. Steve Murr & Edge are both way too far to travel so I'll have to look locally. The point of my thread is, what level of repairs have your...

Most of the threads on here are for the lower ball joints which seem to be made of cheese. Over the last 6 months both sides have both sides have begun to knock then made the awful squeeking noise on turning. I have now replaced both sides (carrier and ball joints) and cured the main knocking...

My 197 Cup steering wheel is now looking tatty as hell with even more leather bits coming off in my hand. What's the deal with this wheel. Guessing its the same as a lower model without cruise control. I searched for 197 cup steering wheel on ebay yet found 0 so this would confirm my...

Over the last few months the car has had a few spare £££s thrown at it. Finally ditch finder free - and now have the RS Splitter Then last week I noticed that a 15 minute session at Combe had been reduced to £20, so went for it That's it for a little while now, need to...

This morning I popped to the garage as my rear brakes had been binding. Turns out they were pretty much just constantly locked on as the pads had been simply hammered in an not fitted correctly. The mechanic noticed that there was no spring on either caliper to let the brake go back to its...

A few weeks ago I noticed a for sale thread from Tedzo who was looking to sell his ktec system and decat. I'd been contemplating one for a while so went for it. The system arrive - along with some of his diffuser too it seems haha In the boot it went and off to the garage...

Yesterday, I hoover my car front and back, this was the last time I was in the car. Drove up the road tonight, woosh, bang. The passenger recaro flies forward and won't clip back in. Now everytime I brake it's the same :/ Anybody else had this problem or any ideas what it could be?

Well after searching ebay, I found a pair of new guenune reneault projectors. One for 50delivered and the other 99.99 delivered. So I thought screw it lets buy them. This is how it looked before Off to my mates garage to get it up on the ramp Turns out there are two type of...

After adding black diamonds to my GW Clio I feel that it's missing something and looks a bit flat. I've seen other clio's well one epic one in particular that's had the back plates removed and sprayed by a bodyshop. For me this is a bit too much time money and effort for a tiny mod. Does...
