    Anyone else’s clio falling apart?

    ☝ Yep on 90k and pretty much rebuilt all the steering rack and all the suspension, my last MOT was £2k new tyres, replaced a cracked spring with lowering springs and replaced shocks with cup shocks and new ant-rotation links. Previous MOT's were inner and outer track rod ends etc. I've...

    What would a full belts and fluids service cost?

    Just contacted Alex today, and got it booked in. Going full works at £470 for belts, £150 for service, Gearbox oil £50, and brake fluid £50. Better than the other garage I called that wanted £850 for belts and £150 for service.

    What would a full belts and fluids service cost?

    That's a decent price. I'm down here in Hertfordshire and pay Bentley/Rolls Royce labour rate. I might travel further afield and book a hotel if I can save a bit.

    What would a full belts and fluids service cost?

    Hi, I am looking at getting my 197 booked in for a service. Looking at the service history it could do with the belts being done and all the fluids. Has anyone had theirs done recently, and how much should I approximately pay? Ed

    Airbox & Induction Noise

    Hi, This topic has come up quite a bit over the years and for anyone with a 197/200 with the standard airbox you can kind of understand why. So I have a 197 with a standard airbox with an ITG panel filter. Initially when I first got mine it had a K&N Typhoon but the plastic pipe was...

    EdHall697 - 2007 Renaultsport Clio 197

    Update: Oct 18' - I had the Renaultsport Splitter fitted and the front bumper had a new spotlight fitted as the glass had shattered, it looked like a stone had flicked up at it. There had been scuff on the bumper by the previous owner, so I got a local mobile bodyshop repairer to spray the...

    Medianav problem

    Hi, My friend has a 2014 Clio and has been having some problems with his medianav. The screen has pixels missing and it's taking quite a bit longer when moving between radio stations. Is it possible to fix this problem? Or is there a company out there that can repair them. Any help would...

    Window Wipers

    - I believe its the stalk, but I've booked the car in at a garage that specialises in Renaults and was formerly a dealership, but the mechanics have setup on their own. So they're gonna do a diagnostics check for £35.00, which is very reasonable. They've previously seen Clio's where...

    Window Wipers

    Update: Still got the same issue. Although I did have the wipers working for a while. I replaced the wiper motor back in the summer believing this to be the fault. I'm still not convinced that it's not the stalk that is shorting out. I've spent so many hours taking it apart and putting...

    Window Wipers

    Hi, Hopefully someone somewhere may be able to help me. My Clio 197 has a problem with its window wipers. I previously had cleared out the drain holes in April and replaced the wiper motor. It worked fine up until yesterday and the rain we had. I took it all apart this morning to find...

    DA600 Polishers

    Hi Guys & Girls. DA600 polishers, I have seen quite a few for sale all at different prices. Like all things in life people will say you get what you pay for. So how can they all be called the same thing, and say a budget one at £50 what is the difference to say an £80/£90 one? Been...

    Key Card

    Good Afternoon, I have a 197 ff which has the key card. Since I have owned I have always bung the keys on the passenger seat and pressed the start button. But now it cannot detect the key. It displayed that it needed a new battery today and so Ive put a new battery in. But it still doesn't...

    Oh dear... black soot and smoke

    I let it cool down two three hours and just been out for quick "smooth" run and it all appears to be fine. It had me worried, but in my mind I know its been driving fine, and the fact the soot only happened momentarily, so hopefully it won't happen again.

    Oh dear... black soot and smoke

    Sorry to put up another post in such a short space of time. But I had a little bit of a race with a Corsa on a straight bit of road and then there were plumes of black/grey soot from the rear of mine. As the Corsa pulled to my side he said the stem sills have gone. I really do not know what...

    Exhaust Resonated or Non-Resonated - MOT rules

    Good Evening, I've ran my 197 with non-resonated and resonated Miltek sections. Before my last MOT I was a bit worried about the current MOT legislation. So I switched it to my resonated section, so it wasn't too loud and had a resonator as per the rules. But with it being remapped it was...
