They were having none of it when I looked for a refund on the price paid for the coating. As yours is so soon after purchase though, I'd hope they'd be more willing!

Unfortunate you seem to have exactly the same problem I did. Good luck with MTEC though, they were rather less than helpful when I emailed them. If you can get a can of black paint out of them to re-do it yourself, you're doing well :) In all fairness, the silver paint they sent me out to do...

Tank is 55L not 45L. Commuting to and from work I regularly see 400-450 miles from a tank. Keeping it just below 70 full to empty I expect it's not too difficult to see 500. On board shows 33.9mpg over the last 6000 miles but MPG is a bit higher than that when cruising at 70, I expect its about...

Couple more pics in a thread here I started a while back - http://www.clio197.net/threads/heater-fan-speed-connector-pics-inside.50090/

Asy 2's on the front, moved to the rear with approx 6mm tread left, 2 new Asy 3's on the front approx a month ago. Should wear evenly and nothing noticeably different in grip or performance. The Asy 3's have impressing me just as much as the 2's did. XL load rating all round

Have a feeling it's underneath/to the right of the battery (below the air intake trumpet thing). Right PITA to get to. Let someone else confirm though before you start pulling things apart! :)

Definitely this. I was one of the ones that fitted both upper torque arm and upper insert. Later got fed up of vibrations and removed upper insert. Car drove exactly the same with just the torque arm and vibrations were minimal. I've since added the lower engine mount and the gearbox mount...

Got my Pipercross Panel filter pretty cheap (approx £30). Foam material, rubber surround etc... worth checking the price of that as an alternative to RAMAIR/KTEC and pick cheapest :)

Always Jelly Belly blue

Far too clean... you're making my RB feel neglected!

Start with the upper torque arm only. It's the easiest to fit, makes the most difference to how the car feels, and doesn't add much vibration. It's usually enough for most not to bother with the rest :)

Yeah I've seen the How To Guide :), but it's still a design flaw IMO. The stalk quality in general is quite poor compared to other marques.

I'm sure they'll already have been covered... but; 1) Cold Start 2) Light Stalk for flashing main beam - mine is now at a point where it only works 1/10 times, the other 9 main beam clicks fully on 3) No "soft touch" indicators, as in flick the leaver and it'll flash 3 times and turn itself off...

The Clio I ended up buying was actually one of the first ones I saw and also the most expensive. Went to view about 4-5 cars in total, test drove 2 of them. The RB colour really had me sold right from the moment I saw it. I drove it and it felt great. Test drove a black one, it looked a bit...

Look like its gone up a bit now - £220 http://www.renaultpartsdirect.co.uk/product/renault-clio-197-clutch-slave-cylinder-kit/

Got my clutch and slave kit from Renault Parts direct. Was £192 for the complete kit.

My 197 has it :smile: didn't know if was sound deadening or protecting the bonet from heat.

Similar boat myself, I've got plans to sell my 197 sometime this year and probably looking to replace with circa ~£8K. I'm finding there's not much really grabbing my attention...I don't want something older than the Clio (2008), and looking for something with at least 200bhp. Meg250 is top of...

Well, what an absolute fucking joke that was. Those dipped beam bulbs are an absolute menace to change. Best part of 1 hour and my hands are ruined. Clever me didn't realise you had to remove the wires from the bulb, then release the retaining clip, then the bulb drops out and carry the same...

Just ordered some 'Philips 12972XV+S2 X-tremeVision' from Amazon. Prime magic should mean they arrive tomorrow so I can fit tomorrow night.
