hi all, i've recently purchased a 2007 black 197 and so far so good, really enjoying it. can someone confirm how i can tell if its got the early or later gearbox? as i believe 2007 was when they made the change? also i think cup suspension was an optional extra, i wondered if this could be checked by measuring the ride height?
new owner, couple of questions!

Welcome!
You will most likely have the first version of the gear box as that's the version i have and i own a 57 plate. As for your suspension do you have red, silver or dodgy painted calipers?

thanks for the welcome. i did think this about the box but the engine speed is 3600rpm at 70mph and ive heard some sit at 4000rpm? the calipers are silver so its not an r27 or cup but i wondered if the original ownwer may have opted for the cup suspension pack. if this was even an option like it was on the clio 2?
