    Seeking Bumper under tray panel

    Ahh fair enough. The search goes on, otherwise I’ll just make up some brackets out of some spare bits of steel in the garage! Cheers.

    Seeking Bumper under tray panel

    Hello all! So I have been working beneath my 56 plate 197 fixing a lower ball joint (the usual one) I noticed that the lower part of my front bumper isn’t very rigid, and then I realised the panel is missing, hence making it a bit floppy! Where would I be best to get a decent used one from? I...

    Lossiemouth buddy. I will travel occasionally to Inverness to ride my MTB up the Mast but other than that it won’t be there often!

    Windscreen washer jets

    Doogle, Cheers man. That’s good news! I think a reason it was taking a while to squirt was because the fluid level was pretty low so after I’d filled it again it seems to work better. I don’t think the bulbs are xenons but the headlamps are projectors. I haven’t had a chance to look at the...

    Windscreen washer jets

    Cool in that case then I don’t think they are Xenons, they don’t do the auto levelling callibration on startup (a previous be scirocco I had did that) so hopefully MOT time shouldn’t be an issue. I have also somehow got the good key with the new battery to start the car without being in the...

    Windscreen washer jets

    The pump washes the screen the. You can still hear it humming a second or two after the windscreen jets stop spraying fluid, my missus Volvo does the same, but sprays the lights because it has the jets! As far as the key goes, it now works to an extent. The buttons lock and unlock doors and...

    Windscreen washer jets

    Yiannis, Cheers for that, I’ll look into the washer pump. I will have a go with some NRV’s for the pipes then if that doesn’t help will investigate it further. It does work but just can sometimes take 2-5 seconds to squirt the fluid out. Will having no headlamp washers affect the MOT if the...

    New (to be!) 197 Owner

    Evening chaps, So I have now had my clio 197 for almost a week, I haven’t really had much chance to drive it properly yet, or take some decent photos. I have noticed a few little niggly issues: The washer jets seem to take a while to actually fire water out onto the windscreen. Has anyone...

    Hello mate. I see that you've not been active on here for a wee while. I am soon to be buying a 197, last 3 on the reg plate is SDX. Don't suppose it was your old car per chance? Cheers, Winston.

    Hello All, Winston here, I live in N.Scotland and have changed from a Mk3 Golf Gti 16v. Collecting my Metallic Blue (unsure of exact name) 56 Plate 197 in a few weeks. It's in fairly decent condition, a few tiny car parks dings and marks but for a 12 year old its pretty good. It has had a few...
