    Swapping Clocks/speedo

    Yes they are plug and play and an easy swap but It can NOT be corrected by clip. I tried with a genuine clip from a Renault specialist and it was a no go. They can only be changed if they are "Virgin" clocks I believe which means you have one chance from a new clock and that's it.

    Can anyone suggest or link a Clio 192 5W5 / 501 bright led side light that will last more than 6 months. I do have some extremely bright ones but they last max 4/5 months if that and then one will start to flicker. Cheers

    200 diffuser on a 197

    So I have a 200 Diffuser on my 197. I originally had a Miltek exhaust and it melted and rattled as it touched the chrome rings. I then took the Miltek off and changed my 197 Back box for a 200 back box and fitted Akro carbon rings.
