So it came to 5 years old with 80k on the clock and it was time to get rid of the 197. Had a fantastic 5 years of ownership and although had plenty of warranty work and had to spend a fair few pennies on the car I would definately have another...maybe one day as a second car. So apart from...

My exhaust has started blowing badly and I have just dropped it off to the garage who have confirmed its the flexi-pipe on the manifold which has gone. My current options are to buy a second hand manifold off ebay which I am already watching one or replace to flexi-pipe and they can weld it...

Just a quck question, I currently have the standard controls for air con and such. I was wondering whether the digital insert will just plug and play or whether I would need a lot more work doing to it?? I assume it will take a lot of work behind the scenes?

Okay, so my clio is 4 years old with 70k, ive already had a milltek exhaust but sold it. The secondary CAT is now starting to develop an annoying rattle and needs replacing, firstly does anyone know how much a standard full system with CAT would be... ...secondly has anyone removed the...

Was listening to Zane Lowe last night and gotta say he does bring some suprising music, he played a song by Bejamin Francis Leftwich called pictures and I found myself very chilled out. Wont be too everyones taste but the guy has a real chilled out vibe and always think that sometimes its...

Im assuming without a roll cage you wouldnt be able to fit this, just think it would look good with a stripped interior even if it was on the passenger side window.

I recently needed new brakes, both discs and pads, I ordered some vented Brembo discs and due to being slightly brassick at the time I ordered some OEM brake pads. Since they have been fitted I dont feel they are as good as the DS2500's which is obvious but last night I was driving home from...

My original stereo os the cabbase 6 Cd slot in the head unit. Im well aware that underneath my drivers seat is a AMP of some sort. The other day I was messing around with the audio controls and all of a sudden rather than having just FM/AM/CD it now comes up with AUX. Is that saying I can...

As above, is anyone interested, ive got a mate who recently emailed saying the company he works for have started doing it and would offer some discount for anyone interested. They can do a number of different colours at the moment including matt black but are looking to get a bigger variety...

As above, do you guys know when the cambelt is due to replaced on the 197, its a 2007 model and im coming up to 60k and wondering whether its going to need doing at 62,000???

Unfortunately the scooby I was looking at was sold, after a lot of sensible thinking ive decided that a scooby isnt the car I want. Very tempted by a newer 350z but unfortunately at £435 a year for tax its not looking cheap and with high petrol usage its not going to be cheap to run. So...

Right, ive currently got Toyo T1R's all round, the other day when I was doing my weekly check the fronts are starting to wear a little bit on the inside. Im thinking about selling the car pretty soon and want to get some reasonable tyres on there but nothing to break the bank. My thoughts...

Well the Clio is coming up to three yrs old and wanting some faster and a bit nicer, looked at a clio 200 cup but seeing as friends and family discount has been dropped its not cheap enough. Instead ive got my heart set on this http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/1672482.htm Im sure some...

As above, currently have a milltek on my 197 and am wondering how I go about replacing the original exhaust after chopping it when it was removed?? Is there a sleeve I can purchase to refit it so I could sell the exhaust once I find a car to replace it?? A how to would be useful or just a...

Can anyone tell me what this does, im looking to remove the beam but not sure what to do with this bit?

Okay, driving back from the gym, come onto a roudabout and in front of me is a black Audi RS4, irish plate so cant tell what year it was. I came onto the roundabout a little quick and all of a sudden it dropped a gear and went, so obviously I paused for a moment and thought why not. Went...

RIght, just got a call from Renault stating that although my steering wheel is falling apart the warranty only covers the interior for 2 years, even though coming with a three year warranty. I was wondering whether you could put your name on here if you have had a new steering wheel and how...

Well, it happens to us all at some point but I think ive finally lost the love of the Clio and its time to move on. Im going to be putting my Clio up for sale in the new year, should be about end of Feb beginning of March when my insurance is up for renewal. Will have a few bits and pieces...

Right, My 197 is now 2 1/2 years old, it has nearly 50k on the clock from new and I am the only owner. I know its quite a few miles but for 18 months of ownership I was travelling 500 miles a week for work and then doing a round trip of 200 miles at the weekend for the ex mrs. (I didnt read...
