    Would have thought it would be 197 specific.

    Door handle lock button not working?

    The button on my drivers door ('56 197) seems to only work when it's raining?! Used to work fine but is playing up a lot lately so need to get it sorted before I sell the car. So need a little info: 1. Is it just the exterior part that needs replacing? 2. Can I fit any Clio handle or does it...

    Why do the R.S cars loose money so quickly: your thoughts

    Yeah i hope the time of year is all it is, when i advertised it it was the cheapest fixed price on ebay for the mileage. Hopefully it'll sell after xmas :-)

    Why do the R.S cars loose money so quickly: your thoughts

    Current prices?? What can I expect to sell my car for in todays prices? Its an Albi 197, 39k, mint, FSH, belts done, TAX/MOT, new tyres, H&R spacers, ITG panel etc etc, ready to roll? Its advertised at £5950 but had no takers, is this the time of year or is that just how they sit in the...

    Clio 197 keyless entry playing up?

    I never jet wash mine but it has been worse since all this rain and frost. Its both sides of the car though so maybe just a coincidence that both key batteries have gone dead at the same time. Will get them changed and see if that solves it.

    Why do the R.S cars loose money so quickly: your thoughts

    My guess is running costs, mine will be up for sale shortly for only £5900 (39k), its a little annoying but i guess we knew that before buying them. One reason I'll never buy a brand new Renaultsport.

    Clio 197 keyless entry playing up?

    My keyless entry has been playing up lately, the car takes several attempts to detect my hand on the handles and sometimes won't let me in at all! Haven't changed the batteries yet but did try my spare key card and that's doing the same thing. Any ideas?

    Cheap cambelt change Gloucestershire area (ex Renault mechanic)

    Aux belt pulley included too. And yes all genuine parts. In my case the water pump was inspected but not needed due to low mileage I guess.

    Playing WAV files from USB?

    True but as I've ripped all my albums lossless it will be a bit of work to go through and convert them all.
