    197, white on white

    From my limited research 225 is about £10 a tyre more expensive.

    Definitely come in standard size Shuv, that’s what I’ve got fitted. Not too sure if the bigger size is cheaper. I’ll have a look right now!

    Great work on the rest by the way. They are not cheap to run, but as you’ve highlighted, worth the effort! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro

    I can’t wait until it arrives, I’m like a child at Christmas. I’m more excited about this than my suspension rebuild, I get the benefit of the wheel even when stuck in traffic as I can just look and touch it. Sounds a bit weird.

    The alcohol thread

    I feel a bit left out and might start my own soft drinks thread :-( Tea total all my life, what a bore! But my wife loves her free taxi and the fact that she can drink every night we go out. Sent from my E6553 using Tapatalk

    Is it just me??!!

    I've lost count of the times my car has been damaged by other drivers when parked. We live in a small village where we don't have a drive / garage and need to park in surrounding streets, as do virtually all my neighbours. In 10 years we've had our cars damaged 5 times, twice with wings pushed...

    Nicole ? Papa ! - Clio 197 F1

    Welcome along, great write up so far. I love the dash paint, I did the same to mine as it too was looking blotchy and really cheapened the interior. Keep the updates coming Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    Which performance tyre?

    I always try Black Circles and MyTyres, then go and try a few local retailers who often price match or better. I like giving my money to local business if I can. Sent from my E6553 using Tapatalk

    Is it just me??!!

    Likewise, I park as far as I can from any other car, usually returning to find someone has parked right next to me when there are lone spaces everywhere with no other cars near them! Sent from my E6553 using Tapatalk

    I've just recently joined the grandparent club to twin girls and love it. It does somewhat impact on your disposable cash and ability to syphon money unnoticed into your car, but they're worth every penny. Best wishes to you all. Sent from my E6553 using Tapatalk

    Which performance tyre?

    I've had Yokohama AD08R tyres on a number of vehicles now and used as an all year round tyre. I know they are not designed for cold weather, but I've never had an issue as long as you drive to the road conditions. I've currently got them on my 197 and my experience of them on this car reflects...

    I just have to make sure it gets on the car before other people, one other person anyway in my house sees all the stuff I've bought. Once on the car, it hidden expenditure ;-) Sent from my E6553 using Tapatalk

    Windscreen Washer jets only work after washing rear window...

    If you have a multimeter, connect the probes to the front water pump connectors and pull the stalk. If you're only getting power to the pump after activating the rear washers, then it discounts a faulty pump. This still leaves lots of wiring, but it's one thing you can tick off. Dodgy electrics...

    Windscreen Washer jets only work after washing rear window...

    I'm taking a stab in the dark. My intermittent wipers are intermittent, but not in the way Renault intended. Sometimes they work and sometimes they don't. I'm guessing I've got broken or worn connectors in the stalk. Could yours be similar? The stalks are quite cheap second hand and possibly...
