    Gear change issue

    As said above hitting limiter itself wouldn't usually finish a gearbox unless it is hit all the time! Maybe by you saying there was a fair jolt it's dislodged a gear cable or something like that ?

    First week of ownership - 197

    Car looks awesome m8. Very clean. I think about 25 to 30 mm all round if lowering the car. I put cooksport springs on mine and really rate them.

    Clio 200 Vs Clio 200 Trophy

    Good read, not driven a 200t or 220t so really can't comment on them. Neither have I driven the 200, is there really that gulf in difference between the 197 and 200 ? From anyone who has driven both ?

    Coolant Loss

    Check your drivers footwell and passenger footwell just in the off chance the heater matrix is leaking, if it is your carpet will be damp/wet.

    Clio 197 ownership VERY disappointing

    Really feel for you guys Bigstu77 jupp nothing worse than buying a car and feeling let down like this! Bigstu77 have you done a compression test on the engine ? Just to see if it flings up anything ? You have prob tried most things that causes these faults.

    Clio 197 ownership VERY disappointing

    What fuel are you using Bigstu77? I have driven cars with these symptoms in work and you wouldn't believe the fuel quality that came out of them! Another thing I would do that only take 5-10 mins is remove the throttle body and see how dirty it is, give it a clean. Not saying these will fix...

    Brake servicing

    Yeah m8 these brakes on the 197/200 are one thing you really need to keep on top of. I did mine last year and had to drill one of the pins out! Poor as I am a mechanic and knowing the issue should never have left them as long as I did. Difference was unbelievable after service. Hope you enjoy...
