    Hi All, Any help would be greatly appreciated... I've got today and tomorrow off work because I was planning to rectify a couple of MOT advisories on my 197. I've got one tyre that's near legal limit and 'play in steering rack inner joints'. I was planning to fit the new tie rods and TRE's...

    Rubber front spoiler keeps falling off! Ideas please!

    Hey, Had the front bumper replaced and painted last week and instead of having the old and slightly knackered front spoiler put on I thought I'd replace it with a new one. I bought the replacement from Renault parts direct...

    Bumper Buffers - Renault Part Number

    There are two little buffers that stop the tailgate hitting the rear bumper when it's closed. They seem to be a two-part assembly one part being attached to the rear bumper and then the buffer fitting into it. Here's a few photos: You can see in the second photo that I have one missing...

    Shocked by spark plugs

    Just finished a mini service on the Clio, was a bit shocked by the gap between the electrodes. I made the cardinal sin of buying a car with very little history, how many miles do you reckon that old plug has got on it? The state of the pollen filter was a little to be desired too. ...next...

    Wire under seat for sliding mech

    I was cleaning out the car the other day and spotted a wire poking out the back of the bottom of the drivers seat. I didn't realise it was the wire that operated the mechanism which made the seat slide forwards and backwards when you let someone in the back, until I traced where it went and...

    A/C condenser woes...

    Afternoon All, Just checked in the 197 at the garage for an MOT and tried to take advantage of the cheap A/C re-gas on offer (kwik-fit). She got through the MOT with no problems, but after a diagnostic (using fluorescent liquid) I've been told I have a hole in my condenser (Doh!), they quoted...

    New Steering Wheel Fitted + Info

    My steering wheel had blistered/melted quite badly and as it was the only thing that was letting the interior down it was top on the list to get sorted. After a little research I came across a company called Royal Steering Wheels, tbh not much research was needed as if you use Google to...

    Front Bumper and Under tray, where to buy?

    Does anyone know where to get body panels for a 197? I've just changed a head light bulb (oh my god!, seriously...) and found out that the clips are all broken for the front bumper and under tray (passengers side). I reckon a previous owner might have scraped it up against a wall or something...

    Boot/Bumper Clips/buffers

    Does anyone know if you can buy the buffer/clips that protect the bumper from the bottom of the tailgate when it's closed. I have one missing and the closest I've come to are these, but the description doesn't match:-...

    Piggyback power from stereo?

    Evening All, I just wanted to run something by you all to see what you thought. I want to install a Belkin Blutooth Connect into my Clio. I've used them before and you plug it into your cigarette lighter and the 3.5mm jack into you aux in. I've bought a cable on eBay that goes into the...

    New member saying 'Hello!'

    Hi All, I've been running around in an '02 Ford Focus 1.6 for a few too many years and it's soul sucking... I decided in the new year that I wanted to get something sportier and cooler and after picking faults with all my other choices I decided that I quite fancied a Clio 197. It's not the...
