I have my wife's RS200 booked in at Diamond for a cambelt change. Mick mentioned changing the dephaser, Fred at BTM who did my 197 and old 200 said they rarely fail. Who on here has had the dephaser changed? Thanks Ian

The bolts are all standard, leftly-loosey, righty-tighty! Caliper pistons both screw in clockwise-(I used a tool that screws them in clockwise and they both went in fine)!

Did you get it done? I did both sides on the wife's 197 and wrote a quick how to, but can't remember where I left it! Ian.

Cheers! on my 182 the non cruise air bag is bigger to cover where the switches would go, i'm hoping the 200 is the same-just unsure, £120 for a gordini wheel or £200 to get my old one covered (have to buy a spare wheel while it's being done!).

Hi, am looking at a Gordini grey steering wheel to replace the sun? damaged cup one on my nimbus 200. So anybody know if the cruise switches are removeable the same as the 182? Think the bigger air bag on the cup covers the gap where the cc switch goes?? Cheers, Ian.

I bought a cheap sensor from ebay and fitted the probe through the mirror and fixed it a

My 3.2 TT had a wer clutch DSG box with 250 bhp.

Easy to fit-move mirror so left hand side is 'in' the most, put your fingers behind the mirror glass on the right hand edge and pull-hopefully it'll come off and not break (took mine of several times without a problem). Remove mirror heatrr connector. Remove (from memory) 3 torx type self tap...

The wife's 197 had the ball link off the end of one of the motors snap off so only up and down worked. I tried gluing it but it only lasted a couple of months so had to buy a new motor assy-if you need a new unit look around on ebay as loads of different manufacturers use the same part. I...

I've been dealing with 'Holly' from RUK, who to be fair has been very good. My offer was 70% discount off the replacement parts (steering wheel and recaro seat base), however, they have to be fitted at a dealer. I think this wasn't bad, but with the labour, i'd be better off buying a new wheel...

I contacted RUK and they were very helpful. I went to my local dealer and they sent some pics off for free. Unfortunately, I keep missing the reply from RUK, but the wheel and seat (recaro) look better in the photos, so i don't hold out much hope!

Think there should be a poll?.. Wife has a 197, I have a 200, we both like the 197 front and 200 rear!

Blimey, never realised it was the same as the dynamique! Perhaps a replacement will be cheaper?

It is, but after readong hendrys reply, i wondered whether the cup wheel is used on the standard car?.

Isn't the cup wheel found on cups only?? Funny how everybody calls it a leather wheel, if it was thgis thread wouldn't exist! On a more serious note, this is our fifth Clio Sport, but i'm considering buying a focus st next-common faults, steering wheel, racks & arms, gearbox, seats, exhaust...

That means you could get 2 new wheels before the warranty runs out! Shame the quality and customer service can be so poor, we've had a 182, a 197 and two 200's, but i'm seriously considering buying an ST focus.

My 200 cup's wheel had started to lift 6 months ago, it's got lots worse in the last week! I've had the car 6 months and it's now done 72000 miles, but still don't think this is good enough-it's 3 years old in 2 weeks, can't believe it only has a 2 year warranty.

Hendy, is your clio a 200? I have a 200 cup that is 3 years old on the 23rd but apparently only has 2 years warranty, my wheel was peeled at the 2 o'clock position when i bought it, but has been getting worse and in the last few mild days has started to peel at the 9 and 1 o'clock positions. I'd...

There's a few of us in south brum!

I have a mate who's a transmissions engineer at land rover. He says the torque from the engine is limited in the lower gears to stop the gearbox from exploding! He reckons the concern is when companies like overfinch boost the power and torque to a point that exceeds the limits of the box...
