... worth it for the results. Washed it with Fairy, clayed, AG Super Resin polish, Turtlewax nano wax. Also AG bumper and trim gel on the plastics, and AG glass polish on the windows. Couple from home... Then went up to Boston Castle round the corner, unfortunately the light was...

The facelift looks okay, but a guy down the road from me has a Mountune-ed, lowered and front splitter-ed Zetec S, and I can't help but thing that that looks so much better. I wonder if you could do a front end swap?! Also, the back end needed two separate exhausts like a 200. The painted bottom...

Mine has gone today as well! I had the door card off earlier just to have a wiggle around with the plug, but no luck. I think I'll get a new one fitted as it's looking a little shabby anyway.

Well I've just fitted the Pioneer upgrade speakers (TS-Q131C), £70 from Car Audio Direct. The woofers sound great, but the tweeters are worse than the originals. So I'm running a Frankenstein setup, you could say! The woofers just slot straight in, but the tweeters (if you choose to fit them)...

I've just had some warranty work done at JS Services on Meadowbank Road (Rotherham) who are a Renault specialist, they seemed nice enough. Labour rate seemed pretty favourable - had some new plugs fitted whilst the electric window was being done. One of them owns a rather nice black Megane...

I know it's a hassle, but I often have the hoover out at the same time for doing the interior, so I put the narrow nozzle attachment on and hold it next to the cloth when buffing the polish off. Joe

I've had them on for about six weeks now mate, infinitely better than the Autogrip ditchfinders I had on when I bought it. I've not done any track stuff with them (waiting till the weather gets better!), mainly national speed limit A and B roads and I think they're excellent. Now, it may be...

So much for the Ford auto stop system, you'd have thought hire companies might spec them with that option to avoid this sort of thing. Hopefully just a new tailgate, hope you get it sorted soon.

Just had a look at the Autocar review. The car looks absolutely awesome in their photos, especially in the red. The back end in the third photo in the gallery looks really great. Can't wait to see one in the flesh. Just hope that Harris is right about how it drives, Sutcliffe doesn't sound...

With the surprisingly nice weather today, I gave the 197 a quick going over - just a wash with some Born to be Mild, Meg's wax and Autoglym Glass Polish. Only just got all the wax off after leaving it to cure before the sun set! Took it out on one of the nearby lanes and took a couple of...

Sorry to sound sarcastic, but first you'll need the projector headlamps! Ask Karl or hit up eBay for them. Obviously, 200 headlamp units won't fit the 197 and vice versa. The full beam bulb in the projector headlamp units is H7 fitting. The dipped is H1. Most* projector headlamp units will...

Hello mate, it's a 57 reg Albi 197. I think I've seen you go past my office once or twice, it's an all-black 197 you drive with aero pack, isn't it? I work in one of the offices on Moorgate Road between Alma Road and Mansfield Road.

Came past me on the left as the M1 Southbound splits for Meadowhall, gave you a flash. Looked very shiny, unlike mine which is currently encrusted in B-road muck.

The black one looks nice, climate control, CD changer, xenon/cornering lights. But it's not a Cup! (Doesn't have red brake callipers.) I'd also make sure the sunroof doesn't leak. If it really does have full service history, then the cambelt will have been done about two years ago. The tyres...

Looks stunning. Me and the girlfriend usually go up to Torridon/Ullapool area once a year, usually around Easter or late September as the weather tends to be better - and no snow on the road! There was one occasion it snowed overnight and we ventured out for sunrise at Loch Torridon... I really...

My 197 is currently suffering with this affliction on the driver's side, but the reset procedure only seems to last for duration of the journey it's done in - if that makes sense. It 'forgets' it's been reset when the ignition is switched off. Garage I spoke to recommended replacing the whole...

Could you not get original xenon headlight units and get an HID kit with D2S bulb fittings? This was going to be my approach to doing it, as I've seen the results of HID bulbs in halogen projectors and I wasn't impressed by the beam pattern. It would probably end up being quite expensive, but...

I get this after letting off the throttle too, only it's when the engine's over 5000 rpm. I too think it's the gearbox - mine was rebuilt with new synchros so I too hope it isn't the sound of impending doom!

The projector itself (dipped beam) is the H1 bulb. The full/main beam is H7, as is the cornering light. So for your Cup, you'll just need an H1 and an H7. I'd go for Osram Nightbreaker Plus. They're not white white like HIDs, they're still halogens, but they are bright. Their longevity is...

Just been looking at houses on Rightmove, just seen this motor outside a rather nice terraced house in Thorpe Hesley. Anyone on here's? Do I really want to be your neighbour?! :p
