Just a simple soldering setup will suffice - £15 delivered for the basics: Iron Holder Solder Obviously this is cheap but it will do for the job you need it for and will likely come in handy for future jobs... You could grab some heatshrink tubing to use after you've soldered to protect the...

I suppose if you're looking to save money and you have some spare time on your hands and you have basic soldiering skills/tools, then replacing the switch is the winner... If you're more of a "time is money" fella and want to just replace the entire unit, buying new handles and replacing will...

JMR - pop me a PM, I have a few of the micro switches lying about as I was meaning to get around to doing my door handles at some point. Happy to send them across if you cover postage? :) HERE is the thread that contains the information RE switch replacement. I have10 of the same micro switches...

Just a follow up here - The I didn't seat the ABS bracket back far enough. As a result of this, the rubber/magnetic ring on the disc had rubbed on the ABS bracket and needs replacing... Bit annoying but lesson learned! Tip: Once you get the ABS bracket fitted and you think it's on properly, get...

I think this is it - bracket went on and all the way back but you might be spot on - it may be a few mm out so not 100% seated... Disc did spin but not as freely as you have mentioned - first thing I'll check tomorrow morning! I'll ping some pics/videos over tomorrow after re-inspection mate...

@suj mate... Just wanted to say thanks for the info on this post. I completed passenger rear ABS bracket, disc and pads change today and ESP/ABS light came on instantly - came here to have a look at what I may have missed... Currently getting ESP/ABS light, it turns off after going down the...

I am also keen to find out what the resolution to this is (if you managed to resolve it...)? In your video, I noticed the sound when your car is idle (before you rev it), I get the same sound as that... It's not a high pitched whistle but more of the whining noise, it changes pitch when you rev...

What a find! I have a set of rear discs and Brembo pads to fit at some point - I don't suppose you (or anybody else) would advise the genuine Renault pads over Brembo pads? I would assume they almost identical in performance so not worth buying these and having the Brembo pads stuck on a shelf?

Can I just say thank you for sharing that pin removal tool.... I will be doing a refresh on my brakes when the weather gets a little better and I had such a nightmare last year when it came to the pins. Great job on sorting yours out also, look super clean for a driveway job done in the snow!!

Any exhaust mods will cause a flat-spot... Remapping is really the only way to eliminate the flat-spot, although it doesn't remove it completely. If you went for the gravity/toyosports catback exhaust, it's bolt-on from the manifold backwards. This eliminates the post-cat and middle box.

Easy DIY if you have an angle grinder? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Renault-Clio-Sport-197-200-Centre-silencer-mid-silencer-delete-pipe-de-res-pipe/322247271344?fits=Model%3AClio%7CCars+Type%3A2.0+16V+Sport&hash=item4b076f23b0:g:~xYAAOSwOdpXxzZF

Oprostite na lošem prijevodu - koristio sam Google translate s engleskog na hrvatski ... (Sorry for the poor translation - I used Google translate from English to Croatian...) Provjerite ispušni razvodnik (ili flexi) - ako imate loše curenje ispušnih plinova, to može biti čest uzrok. Također...

Sorry mate, I missed the photo close up, didn't realise you'd already taken the indicator lenses off! If they are pretty 'stuck' on there then Turkie's idea to use hot water to loosen them up and make sure they aren't as brittle (less prone to cracking the plastic then) is sensible. I think one...

From recent experience; You need to take off the indicator first, it should just "pinch" out. I can't remember how mine came out but it wasn't too much hassle, just remember the lenses do not come off, it should come out as a whole unit and then bulb twists something like 90 degrees and pulls...

Glad you found the cause! @suj (the legend himself) wrote a quick guide in PM for me on how to do the thermostat - I've only copied and pasted it here just in case it helps: 1) Take off all the crap so you can get access to it (battery, battery box, airbox intake pipes etc). 2) 3 bolts (10mm...

I had a similar looking bay with coolant pool in the same place (ontop of the box I think?) - I had a small split in my thermostat seal. Noticed my temp levels were a bit low as well so after a new (genuine) thermostat, it has been spot on and no more leaks since. If you find yours is leaking...

Mine did this but it was in the higher rev range - turned out after a new set of (genuine) coils and plugs it was golden again. I can almost guarantee your coils/plugs aren't fresh. Start with the basics and go from there!

Another option is to go for a ToyoSports manifold. They were on offer at £139.99 last week but I think they're back up to £174.99 (this is brand new, delivery included). Then grab the powerflex mounts for around £100 and then it's labour on-top from there. If you're worried about not having a...

I get this too - have lived with it for the last 12 months or so resealing it every couple of months. I plan on taking it to a garage and having them cut and weld on some v-bands. Possibly quite an expensive job for what it's worth but it'll never leak again!

Fair play - we've all been in that situation where we have little experience with something and trial & error teaches us a lot. The first thing I did when I got my 197 was upgrade the stock audio system with a Pioneer HU with dual BT, DAB radio and antenna, Microphone for hands free calls and 3...
