    boot leak :(

    Great topic, finally got mine fixed! Had some rear damage some time ago, which was (very nicely) repaired. Started leaking short after. At a certain point it was leaking so bad that 1 shower meant tool compartiment was completely full. I've been placing towels in it every day for the last 2...

    Cruise control and limiter not functioning

    Hi all, I've had my clio for about half a year now. Everything works fine (apart from some rattles), but the fact that the cruise control and speed limiter don't work is really bugging me. I can turn on cruise or limiter (light in the dash comes on), but the buttons on the steering wheel don't...

    So where to order new breaks and pads from??

    I ordered a set of front pads with them since I found them here. Shipping costs weren't included in the ordering process... after accepting everything: bam, 15 pounds. Then got an email: actually its 20 pounds to your location (Netherlands), so please Paypal an additional 5. Well, reluctantly...

    Mpg sorry for all the questions guys

    Get 9L/100km (26mpg) realistically and 8/100 (29mpg) if I'm really careful and dont do over 65 on the motorway. Had the car for 650km now. On winter tires and probably brake piston stuck, so could improve. 50kmh in 6th still only gives >6L/100km. (39mpg)

    Door/Window rubbers + struggling to tell what colour my wheels are...

    I'm wondering - I just bought my 197 and came to the conclusion that the left one is gone and the right one was almost gone, so took the torn part off. I haven't heard any difference in wind noise on the left, how important is this door rubber? Can not see any other use than reducing wind noise...

    New Dutch owner, with a German 197!

    I dont think I can, havent booked anything there ever. Usually find a mate there and go take a nap! I'm sure there are lots of good hotels/hostels/b&b for you to go to. Your choice!

    New Dutch owner, with a German 197!

    Thanks everyone! I will give them a ring tomorrow, but the 500km drive isn't worth it (the fuel alone exceeds the costs for a new antenna, repair kit and CC fix probably). I have some small plans for the car: - It doesn't have an upgraded audio system so no speakers in the back. Planning on...

    New Dutch owner, with a German 197!

    Hi everyone, I'm Michiel, 26, from the Netherlands. Me and the GF had been looking for a clio 197 for some time now; from the beginning of the year. After flying to Milan and looking at this one (which is rubbish; damage all around, damaged wheels, interior not so well maintained, steering...
