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

Morning all. Couple of quick questions if I may? I've been keeping an eye on eBay on the stainless exhaust system which I managed to win last night and I just wanted to query ( typically only thought about it after on the auction!!) whether as it's a decat system I'm likely to run into any...

Saw a lovely baby blue (sorry don't know the actual colour name!!) 197 heading towards Rayleigh weir at about 13:30-14:00? Had a nice little spoiler on the back a cool set of black mud flaps!! I'd love to know what the spoiler was called and where it can get those mudflaps!!!

Awww now I could be interested in reverting back to the panel filter. What are the accoustic value things you mentioned, and are they easy to spot. I do like the induction note, particularly when on full chat, but at the same time do not want to compromise on power and want to keep the sound...

Hahaha to be honest I'm not really a sweary person, and wouldn't probably trigger any of the filters, but I thought on this occasion maybe something more than a gosh darn it! Haha! But good to know, thank you. I was certainly impressed with the car. Might look at re-routing the cold feed for...

So took my R27 out for my first proper drive in anger tonight!! Now I'm not sure if this is a swearing forum so I'll just start with 'holy crap'!! My background is building and racing caterhams, and never thought I'd get that same feeling I got after a good drive in one of those as I did in the...
