    Just recently bought in myself. Currently using Coinbase and grabbed £500 in BTC, £150 in LTC and £100 in ETH (£750 weekly limit). Leaving things as they are for now and keeping an eye out for any crashes in ETH and LTC at which point I plan to throw a little more in and then branch out to some...

    Engine Oil Consumption

    2008 Clio, 88K miles - 65 mile round trip Mon-Fri, 90% motorway and I'm finding I'm probably using a little under 1L of oil per ~8000 miles. Tend to wait until the first first O disappears on the Min-Max display on startup then bosh some in

    Chnging down to 5th Gear

    Swapped my gearbox oil with Fuchs Titan 2 years ago and never looked back. Gearbox has been faultless over the last 30K (pretty good going considering I'm quickly chasing down 90K!), no crunching, no cold start issues getting into 1st gear. Well worth the ~£20 for the oil

    Clutch release bearing sound or ??

    Sounds like the clutch slave cylinder. Mine did the same, squealing noise with clutch up and stopped as soon as the clutch was pressed. Did your LUK clutch kit come with a replacement slave as well? or just the clutch? Here's my old thread with a video of the noise too, listen carefully to the...

    Any cycle enthusiasts?

    Spent most of today cycling around the Cannock Chase trials. Bike is nothing fancy, it's a Decathlon branded B'TWIN 520S (Full suspension) https://www.decathlon.co.uk/rockrider-520s-full-suspension-mountain-bike-id_8322501.html I paid £500 for it a year or so ago and it's been nothing but...

    Verdict after 2 months into ownership

    What are the rear privacy things you've got that clip in? I'm intrigued as my rear windows are plain glass too...

    The benefit of good fuel

    Used a mix of Shell Super and Tesco Momentum since bought the car (2+ years ago now) but due to my only miles being motorway commuting now, in the last month I've been throwing Tesco 95 in as the price is a nice low 112.9 and it means my fuel expenses go a little further. Can't say I've noticed...

    Pictures of your phone mounting solutions

    Seem's odd to be asking about mounting a phone to use Google Maps if the car has built in SatNav... unless I'm missing something?

    Thoughts on this r27?

    Surprising how much it's up for but then again it is an R27. Likely looking to sell my 197 this year and was thinking I'd be lucky to see £4000. It's a 2008 with 76K miles and aside from some bolster wear and steering wheel peel in great condition all around. It seems like there's a few 200's...

    Pictures of your phone mounting solutions

    I bought this recently which I really rate; https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01FTXXWIY/?tag=clio197-21 I have it attached to the vent just to left of the steering wheel in the center of the car. It's close to the 12v socket so you dont need cables running everywhere. Personally much prefer it to a...

    New to buying a 197

    Faults I found with mine after buying; - Keyless entry on drivers door didn't work (dunno how I missed this pre-purchase!) - Worn engine mounts (later replaced with Powerflex ~£150 for 3 mounts + labor) - Fan Speed #2 and a short while later #4 stopped working (local electrical garage fixed for...

    Toaster time

    Urgh mine liked that set too when we were looking. I managed to talk her into a cheaper combination of the Brevillie Impressions range (paid about £60 for the set) - http://www.breville.co.uk/breville/impressions-collection-1.7l-jug-kettle-and-4-slice-toaster-set-black/impressions-black.html

    Holidays 2017

    Did Yosemite National Park in September last year with some friends as part of a bigger California trip. All I can say is make sure you have a good few days there, it's absolutely breathtaking. Hiking isn't really our thing but we spent a day doing a trail up to the top of half dome and back...

    Holidays 2017

    Tallin (Estonia) for a Stag do (first Stag Do I'll have been on :D) - should be around August time and then Singapore and Bali for 3 weeks in September - can't wait for that, did Thailand a couple of years ago so hoping it will be a similar experience.
