Hey fellas, So I took the sh*tbox daily (Peugeot 206) in for MOT today and will be getting it back tomorrow. Great, I can use the 197 for a day or 2 until I get the daily back, right? Wrong! Ran some errands this evening in the 197 and (this is the lucky part) the second I got home, I selected...

Also @Tylerbell004 - here is the thread I referenced in my first reply :) https://clio197.net/threads/how-to-replace-the-door-handle-microswitch.62766/#post-728955

I bought a pack of 10 micro switches, only plan on using 2 (or 3 if the first goes wrong!) so will have a bunch of spares left if anybody needs any.

Hi Tyler, If you become a paid member at any point, you'll have access to a tonne of "how-to" threads. Amongst those threads, there is a "how to replace the door handle microswitch" thread that's incredibly detailed with links to parts etc. Your services are most likely wanted by many, so...

I had a similar issue - bank holiday last year.. I done a 170 mile drive to a theme park and on the way there I lost all gears apart from 3 and 4 - the gear selector cable had popped out of the mounting, managed to fix this on the road side. On the way home, I hit a huge pot hole in the middle...

I'm not a genius here, but I have seen a lot of users having issues with their stalks either side of the wheel. They become faulty and a replacement is required, although some have discovered the wiring has come loose and plugged it in more firmly and things begin to work again. I would see if...

I think it's there because the mods wanted to have a "Title" forum then then that allowed them to create the sub-forums under the "For Sale" Titled section. It is a little confusing at first but you get used to it and I understand why it has been setup that way. I mean, it makes sense!

£5 bluetooth OBDII reader & the Torque app = sorted. Use Android though, lots of my friends can't use it because they are iPhone nonces... Lol

There are lots of VISU CD diagrams here - Give this a shot mate :) https://clio197.net/threads/all-renault-visu-wiring-diagrams.63458/#post-726477

@suj - I was only throwing some examples. In my previous motorcycle accidents, Bike value payout was around 1.8k and the "scrap value" to buy it back was like £280(ish). Never gone through it with a car but I can imagine it's also quite different depending what insurance company you're dealing...

In all honesty, you've already started the insurance procedure so carry on - the worst case scenario is they will give it a "CAT N" against the car and then give you a nice chunky payout. Then you will be presented with the option to buy the car back as "salvage" - I've done this twice in 2...

In my view there are 3 options: Insurance - Claim through insurance, and get it all sorted for you. This takes time, paperwork and can leave you without a car for a few weeks etc. This will affect the woman's next premium and can sometimes have an effect on yours if you chose to tell insurance...

In that case - bargain! Keep posting updates here, always exciting to see what bits and bobs people get up to when they work on their car(s)! :)

Very nice - just a quick heads up, check when the last clutch replacement was done, as well as the belts and pump. I picked up my 197 with 72k for £2750 but didn't check either and turned out they both needed doing (belts actually had no indication on when they were last done, if done at all!)...

I would go for it and test, if it doesnt fit then you can always get a local garage to weld it together. The pipe you want to connect fits over a 2.5", i dont know the size of the OE exhaust but if that part is 2.5" then youll be fine. If not, use the toyo centre section up to the second cat...

Hi all, I'm on the lookout for a new manifold, mine isn't in terrible shape but it's gonna need doing soon so I was shopping about. I know my choices but i stumbled across this...

Sorry I'm not offering any answers/help here, but I want to ask if you could create a progress thread for when you do this? Very interested to see how you get on and what kind of power you can get from the N/A engine!

I didn't realise that! Sorry OP!

That's not for the folding mirrors, that's to adjust the mirror in the wing mirror.....

Like you said - spend the little extra and get the genuine/better quality. Normally I would go with cheapest but when it comes to certain parts on cars I know when not to cheap out. I'm sure you already know which named brands are worth going for. :)
