    Newbie with a 197 cup that will be a meglio

    Hi Mark, welcome to the forum! Awesome list of cars, you know a driver's car when you see one! Apologies if it was a little tricky to find the details of memberships. We don't go overboard with trying to get/push people to sign up as paid members, we aren't that sort of forum, but we do...

    Pictures not working

    Nik is currently away on holiday for a few weeks, so that will be why he hasn't been able to respond on this thread at the moment.

    Anyone have a resonated Milltek?

    Glad you got it all sorted and you're reasonably happy with it. Hopefully with time it will bed in a bit and won't drone as much. Mine was used, however the first couple of times on the motorway I thought it was droney, however I either got used to it or it changed slightly with even more...

    Anyone have a resonated Milltek?

    I had the resonated Scorpion and was very happy with it. It is noticeably louder than OEM, but not to the point where it's annoying or 'antisocial'. Sounds good when you give it the beans. Motorway-wise, I never found it too droney and I never had any complaints from passengers when they were...

    Clio 197????

    Superb post, and for me sums up what maintenance is most likely on these cars. It's generally wear and tear, especially as the mileage racks up, but no more than you would expect from a run of the mill motor. But yes, parts are more expensive, but they're special cars so you can't expect to...

    Clio 197????

    Happy to help :) I think that's a great budget to have, there should be some very good ones for that price. You probably already know this, but just take your time and view a few - that's the best way to tell the difference between a good one and a bad one. Any other questions, ask away...

    **VOTE** POTM October 2018

    Just a little note on the subject of professional photos: As we've said before, any 'rules' are generally pretty relaxed - it is incredibly rare that we would say a specific photo is not allowed to be entered. POTM is here for fun: to get people involved in taking great photos and for members...

    Clio 197????

    MPG: it really does all depend on how you drive it. At best I got 40mpg out of mine on a long trip to Cornwall from the North. Everyday urban driving, I would get ~26-28. They aren't as economical as the 1*2s. Gearbox: mine had done over 100k on the original 'box and was slick and smooth as...

    Albi Blue 197 RS

    Very high praise for the 197, especially in comparison to a couple of sporty Audis. That looks like a nice little list of mods you've got - small changes, but effective. Glad you're enjoying it so much Sam.

    hub ball joint f**Ked!!

    Really sorry to hear about this, that is rotten luck. I had a bad experience with a main dealer that also resulted in a stupidly expensive bill - needless to say, I never went back to them, or any other, after that. It's the same for any make/model of car though, it seems like they all just...
