I dont get how you can have auto levelling lights without the sensors retrofitted? The lights dont have any form of gyroscope or level to be able to work out which way is up or down. Doesnt surprise me they work with the level roller on a dash though, its probably a more user friendly way of...

These cars do need more maintenance. I bought mine at 109k and replaced sooooo much, alot towards the end of its life or as a preventative measure. As much as they like being ragged by the scruff of the neck they also like being regularly petted and looked after.

Lovely views, quite jealous! I have got just over 400 to a tank before, my last tank was 374 from full to red light coming on. I always think these cars are most efficient at 50mph.

I would pop the plastic panel off covering, pop the mechanism off the motor and see if they move freely. Alot of mk3 wiper mechanisms are seizing and display odd features, slow wipers, stopping in a weird place or not going full travel.

They are not any different to any other car, let alone any other performance car. Ive had a few BMW's which have needed injectors, full suspension refreshes and other worn out bits close to 100k. I would say now its age rather than mileage which is worse, but depends on how that mileage happens...

I know what you mean. Mines clocking over 125k now and is 12 years old. I've all but renewed the original suspension with new shocks, springs, front topmounts, both front wishbones, nearside swivel joints, front and back discs, pads, cambelt and waterpump, offside stub axle, both rear calipers...

No bud, they would run normal mounts as per the manufacturer of your seats. Most buckets would sit fairly low anyway.

You can buy direct from Scorpion, they have a range. The 200 and 197 exhausts are exactly the same. I have a Miltek 200 resonated and have fitted Scorpion 197 tips (Miltek work differently, their tips are welded on and as such the 197 and 200 systems are different) and just wet and dried the...

My own 197 might be up for sale soon, it has 200 Cup shocks and Recaros, interested?

Its not, as previously mentioned its on the first setting. There are 3, -30mm, -40mm and -50mm. Thats -30mm from its original height.

Ill get some photos, the one below shows the difference from the back. As for Powerflex Id suggest doing the 3 littler ones (Torque mount, dogbone and gearbox) and leaving the large one to minimise vibrations.

Thats without any fascia, not that pretty. Its worth bearing in mind that with the fascia he provides, unless you run the frame on the lowest hole (most drop - 50mm) the fascia will look a little odd due to how it mounts. What I did was find a blanking plug for the plastic fascia (the hole for...

H&R's are very linear in their spring rate, Eibach are more progressive. Bilstein coilies are the best way. Josh does have his mount on eBay.

Id recommend Josh Wheeler's lowering seat mounts also. Theres a few options, depends on how much you want to spend. There are 3 other options on the market: 1. Flacsi, he sell's a modification kit which will lower the frame but this is fixed drop and although probably secure, doesnt look that...

I was going to go for a manual as the DSG is something else potentially to go wrong, even though they seem to be reliable when serviced. I know, this is why I wanted a reality check as to whether its just me thinking the grass is greener. In the summer, the Clio is great but seems to get hot...

Thanks Fred, how reliable was it? What about cost of things like dampers, springs, bushes etc? General servicing? Im guessing insurance was about on par? If my Clio was a weekend toy it wouldn't be an issue but its not. I sometimes ride my bike to work but most of the time its the car due to...

Thanks for the reply Dean. I'm not against staying with Renault at all and briefly considered a mk2 Megane Turbo a few months back. Initial cost is what restricts me with anything like this, a good mk5 Golf GTI seems to be between £4500 and £6k. As it stands, Ill probably only get £2500 - £3000...

Hey all, I have had my 197 for a few years and thoroughly loved it. Its an awesome little go kart and its flaws make up its character. Unfortunately my lifes is changing; I'm getting married in September and after this saving for a house (grown-up) with the plan to trying for kids (really...

Replacing the wiper stalk should sort the issue. The problem is that the indicator stalk wiring plugs in and goes through the wiper stalk so they eventually burn out. With regards to the Climate Control you are right about the resistor, they dont burn out like the manual controls. The problem...

They are brass spring clips. The way I can best to describe them is like those bits you get on the back of the rimless picture frames? That grip the edge then use tension to hold in place in a hole in the back? They look a little like those. On the photo below they sit in the outside edges of...
