    Retro fitting RS Monitor to a 197

    Not particularly but those head units only work with later dials, something to do with the CAN bus network...

    Retro fitting RS Monitor to a 197

    The display needs the head unit to work properly, also if it's a 197 you'll need 200 instrument panel (dials) to get that head unit to work...

    Turn Steering+start fault

    UCH is behind the glove box, see YouTube... the Relay / Fuse Box is under the acoustic valve, that can also cause weird behaviour if its been drowned in water etc. :astonished:

    Turn Steering+start fault

    Cam sensor is a common fault, which can cause poor performance or non-starting, have you checked under the scuttle panel to make sure drains are not blocked? Sounds like the UCH (BCM) has been goosed with water... again not an uncommon fault. :grimacing:

    help please, cup steering

    Squeeking - yes, it's the bracket grinding on the ring. Creaking - yes, it's the swivel that's seized tight. If there was play it would knock...

    help please, cup steering

    You mentioned in this post getting the n/s hub replaced so it's probably the o/s that's seized. You can replace the ball joints on thir own but it's a tricky job and if they crack the aluminium hub your f*cked so probably better off just buying a new hub complete. You also mentioned in this...

    RS 200 Cambelt - North West

    That seems very cheap considering the price for genuine parts is around that, did they forget to charge labour? :think: https://renaultpartsdirect.co.uk/parts/service-parts/renault-clio-197-200-cam-belt-kit/...

    help please, cup steering

    The suspension is quite complex; there's a top and bottom ball joint (swivel joints) that join the hub to the carrier, the wishbone has a ball joint too, there's two anti-rotation arms, inner track rods and the track rod ends. So lots to go wrong! Common failures are lower ball joints, inner...

    Original stereos

    It's doable but it's not plug and play, the looms in the 200 were different and you might need later clocks to unlock the head unit. The smaller plug on the pod is for the seat belt / air bag light, i seem to recall the green plug on the stereo is the aux. input and the yellow plug the CAN bus...

    seats in my 197 cup

    Have a look in the buyers guide... "Leather upholstery was available, however this was typically a retro-fit from a Renault approved supplier". It's not uncommon for interiors to be swapped out, usually for recaro's mind you :wink:

    Swapping Clocks/speedo

    As said you can put the mileage forward with CLiP but not backwards (for obvious reasons). It's input in Km though so you need to convert for that, otherwise it's a 5 minute job... You can't swap the printed legend between 197/200 clocks as some of the indicators are different e.g cruise control.
