    Rear seat fixing

    Hi I'm new to the forum having just bought an 09 197. Can anyone help me with telling me what my rear seat fixing should look like. Where the two split seats meet and hinge at the base of the seat I noticed the seats move around and having looked at it the small seat has no nut on it at all...

    197: FA08 Glacier White 197 R26R scheme, Land Rover Solihull

    See you in the work car park most days, you've let me out of one of the thousands of spaces a fair few times. Wouldn't know I'm off here as I am usually driving a black VW transporter but I have a BG 182 and a Flame Red 220 Trophy. Jake.

    197: Recaro seats advice :)

    Hi there, I'm looking to purchase a 197 with Recaro buckets seats. A few people have said it will be a lot cheaper to buy a car with the Recaro seats already fitted. I'm just wondering which spec Clio comes with the Recaro bucket seats. Many thanks Luke

    Jason's R27 Team F1 Racing Blue

    It's weird how things work out. I've spent literally my whole life of cars owning VW's, from post war Beetle's to Polo TDI's it's all I've ever had (except a Fiat Uno). My Polo 130 was getting boring and out of nowhere my next door neighbour managed to crash into it. That was it for me, I got to...

    First week of ownership - 197

    Bought my 197 Saturday; its an awesome car to drive! Living near the New Forest has meant I've had a chance to get on some decent roads and the car is great fun. Got some plans for it but nothing major to start with - planning on lowering it a little any recommendations?

    197 K-Tec Cat Back Exhaust Issue

    Hi, Exhaust seems to have a very noisy rattle at about 3000rpm. Please check out a video clip. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dIPwy_soQno&feature=youtu.be Over 3000 rpm, it sounds lovely, but at around 3000 it is so loud and annoying. Anyone else experience this? Cheers
