Well I sold my 2nd 197 almost a year ago and once again I've regretted it and wanted another!! There is just something about the Renaultsport brand that I keep coming back too. I'm driving a 160 bhp Abarth 500 now and although it's a cracking little car it is just too small for me and my bike so...

Well after 1 year of ownership, 18,000 miles and 2 trackdays it was time to move the F1 on. Loved the car (I've owned 2 now) but I get bored way too easily and fancied a change. I went for an Abarth 500 in the end.....mainly down to it being cheap to insure, tax and run.......and it's rapid...

Quick question guys. Standard CD player in 197/200. Is it the update list? And what's the other one called? Cheers

Hi guys, I know this is gonna make me sound useless BUT I'm trying to remove my standard airbox to fit my KTEC induction kit and I'm struggling getting the standard airbox out!! Anyone have any advice as to the easiest/best way to remove it? Cheers Ash

Hey guys. Just been sent a link to a YouTube video of the New Clio 200. My mate manages the Barth dealership in Plymouth (vospers) and they have a Renault dealership as part of the same group. He's always been dead against my Clio 197 (probably due to me selling my Abarth to buy it) but seems...

I have no idea what section to put this in so I'm taking a punt at this....mods feel free to move it if there is a better section. Does anyone know of any good roof rack/bike racks for the 197? I'm currently taking both wheels off and squeezing the bike in the back but obviously this limits...

Hey guys I'm looking for a good upholsterer to do a re-trim on my steering wheel and a few other parts (clock surround and dash strips for now). Anyone know of any they would recommend? I've obviously tried Edge, after 8 days of chasing them I finally got an answer from them (I know they are...

I'm ashamed to admit that for the 11 years I've been driving and the 13 cars I've owned not once have I actually waxed or polished a car!! So today I left my phone in the house, got out in the sun and 7 hours and a dead arm later this is the result. It's not perfect by any stretch but it's...

Anyone watching this this morning? He's just had a nose around the carpark and the car that got his attention most was....wait for it, the new RS 200!! Liquid yellow and I'll be honest it looked lovely!

White Clio 200 went past me tonight at about 8:30 on the M4, near Swindon (going through the average speed cameras). I would have flashed but was in a Fiat 500 so would've looked like a freak lol. These cars look great on the road:) Makes me glad I came back the the RS if I'm honest.

Hey guys, I know it's been done before but does anyone know where we can get some flexi pipes for the exhaust manifold? Looks like ones has split and needs a new one welded. Anyone able to help ASAP? Cheers Ash

Evening guys. Looking at ordering some coilovers in the very near future and am really unsure which ones to get. I see a few people have the KW Clubsports but these are very expensive and I'm not sure I'd get the best out of them. KW V3 are a good option and one that a friend of mine is trying...

Sorry for the new thread but this is something that hasn't been asked (that I can find anyway). I'm about to order new tyres and was going to go for the Yoko AD08 I think try are. Anyway price wise the best I can find is circa £150 per corner! I know they are more than worth it BUT as I'm...

Hey guys, just had a quick look under the bonnet to check fluids etc before a long drive tomorrow and noticed this Seems to be oil coming from around one of the spark plugs/ignition coils. Any ideas why or even if its gonna cause any issues? Cheers all. Ash

I'm on holiday in Krakow and to my surprise this morning at about 8:45 driving past the Sheraton hotel I saw an R27::-) Light blue (cant remember if its Albi Blue or Racing Blue?), looked pretty good driving along in the snow and sounded sweet too. Anyone on here? Ash

Sorry again if this one has been asked. I have a complete new wing mirror unit to fit to my 197 and not sure how to remove the original. Does anyone have a 'how to' on this or have at least done the job to point me in the right direction? Cheers again. Ash

I apologise in advance as this has almost certainly been answered before BUT I am on my phone and struggling to find anything. How do you remove the centre console from the dash? The stereo surround etc? I'm just about to take a screwdriver to it but don't want to ruin the whole thing lol...

Got in the car yesterday morning and really struggled with 1st and 2nd gear, I thought 'its just cold' so expected it to loosen up a bit but nothing:-( Really had to force it into gear a few times and today is no better! My clutch pedal has been squeaking for a month or so so I'm hoping it may...

Hey guys, probs been asked before but I've had a quick look and can't find anything (on the phone) so I'm hoping someone can help me. Got in the car tonight and all lights are working except the speedo/revs etc. All was fine last night but not tonight? The light in the middle (mileage etc)...

I'm hoping this is a simple fix as its really starting to annoy me now. For the past few weeks my clutch pedal sounds like it is squeaking/rubbing on something. It must be the clutch cable but I have no idea where i should be looking so that I can find out - A. What the issue is? And - B. how...
