I don't know, but I can't think of anything else that would cause a difference between forward and reverse motion. I've got powerflex in my upper torque arm and it stops the engine moving around no end. I think the lower engine mount is the other mount with the biggest impact on preventing a...

Phew, I was worried you were going to squirt the push to start button :-) Not too sure if only reverse, that's strange. My only thought, and it's purely a guess, could be that when the car is in reverse, the engine may rock a different way to when it going forward. If the wire to the TDC...

Mine would stall when cold only, but would still sometimes hunt when warm. When it stalled, it would sometimes not restart for 10-15 minutes. I'm guessing if yours is in a worse condition than mine, it could well stall even when warm if the revs drop low enough. The WD40 was for my dodgy...

Does anyone know if the 200 Cup's bump stops are softer than the 197 Cup's bump stops please? I'm sure I read somewhere that they were softened in the 200 to prevent in bottoming out too abruptly. I've searched and can't find anything other than 3rd party sellers selling pattern part shock...

Just ordered my Royal Steering Wheel retrim in the following spec; Full Dark grey Alcantara 9002 Red top stripe Light Silver 412 stitching Photos to follow once it arrives. Will endeavour not to kill myself with the airbag during change over. Even with the battery disconnected, airbags scare...

It feels as a driver's car should where the controls are tacktile and a pleasure to engage with. Whereas the standard item always felt a bit lightweight. The standard one reminds me of my 205 GTI gear knobs. I hope that doesn't sound insensitive to those with standard gear knobs. Sorry if I've...

I’d agree with Shuv, it looks very well made and just like mine, so I think it’s probably genuine too. I also think the Renault Sport logo looks better then my R.S logo too. Get ready for a cold left hand when the winter comes [emoji6]

As an old man that was a slightly younger man in the 80s, I rather miss top tinted screens. They were usually not that noticeable from the outside, but made a huge difference to comfortable driving in bright conditions. I seem to be using my sun visor more and more these days, possibly aging...

Great colour, I look forward to seeing your upgrades Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro

My work is all being completed on the 7th and 8th September, so I’ll be in a position to comment after that. It may be difficult to single out the bushes improvement singularly due to everything I’m having done, but I’ll give it a go. I should be able to say if they cause noise and vibration...

Thanks, is that the SuperPro that allows the movement please? Sent from my E6553 using Tapatalk

Anywhere around the gap, but I spayed in the top so that it would run down into the contact switch and flush out any water / moisture. Which it did, all over my door [emoji17] but it made it work again [emoji3] Sent from my E6553 using Tapatalk

Mine did this, I squirted WD40 through the straw applicator into the gap between the button and the handle. Button worked ever since. Possibly water in the contact? Not sure, but it works again :-) Sent from my E6553 using Tapatalk

Sorry, clearly meant 197 / 200 31k isn't high miles, so many parts may be absolutely fine. I'd probably be steered (no pun intended) by the garage in your case. No point spending unnecessarily. Says me renewing everything :-( Sent from my E6553 using Tapatalk

Hi kevlar, it depends on your budget and how long you want to keep the car possibly. There are so many wear items on the 297/ 200 suspension; Upper and lower hub carrier ball joints Wishbone ball joints Anti rotational links Anti roll bar links Track rod ends Wishbone bushes Anti roll bar...

Thank you Peter Sent from my E6553 using Tapatalk

Anyone with any experience of SuperPro bushes please. After having a wee look on YouTube, they seem incredibly well designed and thought out. The internal surface where it adjoins the metal sleeve are knurled so that they hold the grease and the ends are finished so that they don't overlap the...

I can't drive the forum :-( managed to reply to my own post! Sent from my E6553 using Tapatalk

Just bought these from l33th3tr33 Can't wait to fit them. I know they're probably heavier than my silver reflectors, but oh do they look so much better, IMHO anyway. I know we all like different things, so I hope I haven't offended reflector lovers ;-) These will probably be my only visible...

Welcome, I too have an UR 197, this was possibly my least favourite colour prior to purchasing the car, I wanted RB. However, when I went to see it in the flesh, the UR looked amazing. This could be something to do with red being one of the most difficult colours to photograph and images...
