    Replacing Recaro's from 197 with Standard seats from a 200?

    Does anyone know if Standard seats from a 200 will fit straight into a 197 in place of the factory-fitted Recaro's - without changing subframes, runners etc? And what about the seat belt resistor/warning beeper?

    Car won't start - Steering not locked

    Just read this and all I can say is "Wow" and "Oh poop". I thought the 197's were relatively computer-free... I mean, I know they have fuel injection (obviously), traction control etc... but I hadn't realised they have all sorts of electrickery going on in the steering column itself..???

    Hi from Oz

    Steve, none of your older pics work and I'm particularly interested in some of them, like post 43 showing pics of the rear tow strap, 44 with the door pulls, oil catch can in 68, and others.... Have the photos been deleted, or have you switched to another hosting provider? Any way to republish...

    Definitive cup guide

    If it is a 197 Cup there will be a decal inside the drivers door jamb stating that its a Cup. As others above have said, there are lots of tell-tale signs, such as: Cups have... A key instead of keycard (although some non-Cups also have keys) They don't have 1-touch electric windows Basic...

    Are these tyres safe?

    It's just pick-up and rollover from the tread. Drive it on the road and it'll come off. Don't be alarmed if you hear the bits falling off the tyres as you drive and knocking on the wheel arch liners.... mine does.

    The Definitive What Suspension Do You Have Thread...

    OK, front spring broken, on 197 Cup so good excuse for an upgrade! :thumb: Have read the entire thread and there seem to be lots of questions, but not too many answers from real-world owner experiences. For 197 Cup what are people's thoughts on Bilstein B14's for road AND track use? Or...

    Clio 197 trip computer screen broken

    Coincidentally min has just started doing this. On mine, all the text disappears. I first noticed it was very slightly and slowly flickering a couple of months ago and this week it has failed altogether. All info disappeared.. although it has come back on and off again a few times during the...

    Buy a Clio 197 and know all about its history first! !

    Mine needed a new gearbox and steering rack when I bought it a year ago - but I knew that at the time. It's since required a frt wheel hub and a side light bulb. That's all (jinxed it now haven't I?) Whereas my previous car - a 3 Series BMW - supposedly German quality & reliability, needed in...

    Subaru alloys on Clio 197?

    Hi, Does anyone know if Subaru 5 x 108 17 inch alloys will fit a Clio 197 Cup, as there are many sets available on eBay for quite a lot less than Clio 197/200 alloys seem to go for? Obviously I'd need to get a similarish ET/offset, but does anyone know the centre bore size of a standard Clio...

    Stupid worn tyre question

    The edges will have gone long before you wear out the tread depth, if you're driving at all quickly anyway.
