Thanks Noddie and 930Tech

You'll also see that I've added a few gloss black touches ... Renault badges on the sides, bonnet and boot and the arch vents. And any tips how to load up pictures would be welcome. Thought I'd done it right but can only see links. Does anyone know how to add pictures using a Mac??

Beginning of July I sold my 197 and bought a written off LY. It had been bought as a project but the guy had run out of funds ... it was road worthy and mechanically it was fine so I thought I'd take up the challenge and try and finish it off. At first I thought it would be quite a simple fix...

The airbags had gone off, the airbags had been replaced and the airbag light worked when I got the car so presuming a new one had been fitted. It's only when I removed the recaros and put in a standard 200 seats that the problems started. I'm thinking that maybe someones had a fiddle to cut...

Thinking aloud ... had a 197 with normal seats, swopped them with 200 standard seats - airbag light stays on. Renault guys reset it. Replace Recaros with standard seats it then needs to be re-programmed?? Is that right??

Thanks Ryan ... faulty door etc. wouldn't that show up on the main ECU??

Thanks 930 Tech ... I'll have a look into that, would make sense

Has anyone got an ideas?? I've 3 problems. I'm currently working on getting a LY200 back in order. I bought her as a damaged repairable, in pretty good shape mechanically just needs some TLC. 1. Airbag Light When I bought the car the airbag light worked when it should. I had Recaro's in...

Spotted a LY200 about 1pm coming out of the Corton Wood Retail Park

Josh ... thanks fella :)

Yea ... that's my plan and I've no intention of selling. A spray shop in Barnsley is doing the re-spray and they are good so it will look great ... pretty sure of that. Thanks fella

Thanks Chrisgti6, it was a brave some may say stupid move but I like a challenge and I enjoy solving problems and sorting things out. I'm not gonna sell it ... it's a keeper, that was one of the reasons I bought it

Fellas, fellas, fellas ... just told the guy at Renault what I needed, he said it was a splitter and it was £28.45, if it's the wrong part I'll return it and get the right one! As for the paint ... they didn't do it properly but I've probably made it sound alot worse than it actually is. At 1st...

Thanks .... the splitter was the term used by Renault. It's the rubber strip at the bottom of the bumper that's come apart in the middle. Bought it yesterday ... £30 and I checked to see if it was the right one as I thought it was cheap! The drivers side ... the re-spray is not good, very patchy...

It's been through all that as when I bought it I checked the log book and it has been recorded, says it down at the bottom of the V5 at the front.

My friends at the garage were worried about folk running off with them so they bonded them in ... looks like I'm gonna have to buy some more off you!

And yea a VIC pass ... it's when the car has been written off by the insurance. If the car is to be put back on the road it has to go through a test, it then gets a VIC pass from VOSA to prove that it's road worthy and mechanically sound. This car had just really bad panel damage ... I think!!

Attached thumbnails to my post ... hopefully you can see them now, couldn't figure out how to do it the other way. Bought ALL the parts & tyres second hand from Cit-Ren in Norfolk. Wheel refurb is £175 and respray in LY is £600 (mates rates).

Hi, I bought a Black 197 last year after being made redundant, it was basic car with air con. Spent time and money doing a few things to it, more cosmetic than engine ... I put in a 200 interior, LED’s throughout including the number plate, 200 wing mirrors painted yellow, 200 diffuser with...
