    From BMW Z4 to Rescuing a 197

    Renault quoted me £220 for a new keycard with programming. They want the logbook and my license which are both in the post lol. Then it takes 14 days from France. With not being able to lock the Clio and struggle to get it to detect the card when starting I'll be using the Zed until it's sorted!

    The keycard won't be detected when I try to start the car so im spending 5 mins manipulating it until I hit a sweet spot and it allows me to start. It's in bad shape with tape holding the bottom together and it won't lock the car. Radio I'll pop to the dealer and get it done at the same time as...

    I do like a beamer :) So first of many questions no doubt. I need a code for the radio, is that a trip to the dealer? I don't have the handbook. The keycard is trashed too it won't lock the car.

    Very interesting, you know your stuff. Thank you! I might have a buyer for the Zed so I can focus on the Clio. It's had the MOT, spent £750 on 3 new tyres, handbrake cables, ball joint, battery, brakes calipers and discs, oil, bulbs. Going to fill it with momentum and see how it's drives tomorrow!

    Thanks for the welcome everyone! Here are some pictures of the Clio at the auction site and the only pictures I have of her at the moment. She's been delivered straight to the garage for an MOT. Looks like new brembos, tyres and a handbrake cable from my own inspection and possibly a new key card.

    Hello everyone! Pleased to be joining this community. Long story short I have bought a neglected 197 at auction and will be documenting what TLC it will be needing to get it road worthy again. To be honest I'll need some advice on the quotes I get and if I'm being ripped off or not, what to look...
