Welcome mate, as already said, these cars are luck of the draw wIth gear boxes, mines tip top. Could do with a gear box oil change but no problems mechanically. A few for sale on here including mine, have a look.

Yo! Mine knocked when cold, warm and hot! Most likely the lower mount, stops the engine twisting, when the standard mount wears out it creates a big knock. Vibra is good, all be it a bit tough, the whole car shakes on start up, which I like actually! I've heard nothing from monster sport europe...

Dude, what time did this happen on the Sunday? I know it was an icy morning, Just been catching up on all the posts, hope it all gets sorted quick.

With regards the manifold, I would consider putting a new lower engine mount on, you'll notice a grind/knock once it's fitted, it has less movement than the standard item, plus if your replacing it due to damaged flexi joints it most likely the mount that caused the problem. Brakes, I run Brembo...

​ price drop, £5600 bargain for such a low mileage car!

Welcome mate!! Mines for sale, half the budget with all the common problems fixed! If it wasn't for needing a company estate car I'd be keeping mine for chasing down Megane 250's and clio 200's. ;) haha

Both are making me Ill!!! Why do people do this!!!!!!!!

No idea, took my mechanic with aid of a lift an hour. He was well impressed with the quality and design of the mount. And when I saw the original part I was shocked at how pants it is, I can see why they fail and ruin manifolds!

Thanks man, no interest so far. But it's only been a few days. Side note, got a vibra techniks torque link fitted today, WHY DIDN'T I DO THIS SOONER!! The car feels so much more connected, it must have been so bad because immediately I have confidence to keep my foot in it, it lurched and...

did anyone bother this month?

thanks mate

The car is de-froged and ready to say good-bye, heres a link to my for sale thread. http://www.clio197.net/forum/showthread.php?39848-deep-black-197-£5700ono&p=460008#post460008

going to the dark side!! ;) in talks for a p/x for an Audi a4 avant 1.8t s-line 190bhp auto. I need an estate for work now and don't want to give up on power output. hopefully going to see it this week. It will be a shame to see it go, but I've had my fun!

nope no news, don't think its happening, they say it is, but, I don't believe em. was talking to one of my customers the other day and he said this "talks cheap, but money buys the beer!" I think he's right. and to be honest, the car is going in the next month, so it make no difference to me...

Mine has fused itself! Best off buying a new lambda sensor and keep the old one on the cat for a really quick exchange for mot time. That's what I'm gonna do anyway.

Absaloute monsters! I would not attempt to keep up with one in the 197, you would get destroyed! Went in one for a white knuckle ride a couple years back! Little bit of poo came out!!!
