Yea I would like to see what a normal LS diff is like, I would not be really interested on doing track days as such but I would still be able to take advantage of it, the heat shield was altered for the 832 engines in the 200 models. I took a run to the last tack day 2025 at Kirkstown as they...

I was all set to head down to Mondello for that first track day, but the weather was so bad with heavy rain that it wouldn’t have been any fun standing around hoping most people showed up. For the car, get a Clio 200 heat shield—it has a leg that bolts to the engine to keep it from slipping. In...

I don't have facebook, tiktok or any of that stuff but I have seen this person otto retrims that has a video of a 197 steering wheel retrim with the zigzag stitch and the steering wheel does not look fatter that the original. I don't know anything about them or what they charge but if someone in...

I agree with that, having done it twice before. Be sure to disconnect the battery first, as you might touch the starter heat shield during the process and short the always-live terminal on the solenoid, blowing the fuse and leaving the car unable to start. The subframe doesn’t need to be...

You can fit Clio 200 clocks into a 197, which gives you the colored dial and the gear change beep near the rev limiter. However, I personally found the speed harder to read with the 200 dials. Also, the silver color in the center is anthracite, not the brighter silver of the 197 dash, strips and...

I have added more info to the link on post #3 you need to check the linkage for free movement that will stop the car going into protection mode and killing power to the wipers most likely as you said there was a delay in the wipers operating in the first place, there is a second fuse in the UPC...

The how to wiper dismantle

I think I put something in the how to section on taking apart the wiper linkage removing the two E-clips that are very hard to see.

online manual has a download button in the bottom right corner

I don’t see why you’d need such a radiator unless you’re rallying or full-on racing. I get that you live in a hot climate, but fitting the air conditioner radiator would be tricky. The car is built to run in places like the south of France and Spain, so if you’re having temperature issues, check...

So how are you getting along with the problem.

I went for Valeo 255400 we are now beyond genuine parts these days Renault has stopped a lot of parts and is deleting part numbers they don't supply the rear brake lines anymore. I cleaned the mounting point and the original sensor and refitted. I bought the sensor after but it's in the box next...

Run your fuel pump test PM you the details

I have one with a fault of driver headlight coming on when locking up but was fine for running the car the only result was a flat battery after time but should be good to see if your car will start and run. configured manual heating, Xenon headlights, auto lights/washers but I have the Renault...
