I need to change the stat on my 197, I have seen some pictures and found where it is. Is the change as simple as remove the intake pipes, 3 bolts off, change stat, and put back together? Also what is the best method for bleeding the coolant system after changing the thermostat?

What (if any) differences do the race cars have engine wise compared to normal road cars? Was anything done internally?

Does anyone know if the tracks (runners/sliders) are the same on the Recaros to the normal seats in the rest of the Clio 3 range? I need to change the tracks on the passenger side of mine as they are a bit stiff, if I can use some of the normal clio range then it should be a lot cheaper

Can anyone tell me what specs the standard battery is? Mine is finally letting go, just 15 mins with the stereo on flattened it yesterday so the car can have an early Christmas present.

I have a search but not found much. Is there any dyno plots about from people who have got a RS Tuner/fastchip map on their 197/200? I am interested to see what happens to the torque at 2-3k, plus the gains throughout the rev range

I haven't seen anyone using a S2000 airfilter on a Clio yet, but it is common on a lot of other marques. For those who don't know, the S2000 as standard uses a large cone filter but it is still made from paper. So you gain filter surface area without compromising filtration quality. I know...

I have searched but not found anything... Has anyone put the twin 5 spoke 200 wheels on a 197? Any pictures?

I found a topic a few weeks back and someone had a bag/tidy thing in their boot which sat along the drivers side of the boot, they also put a link to the site they bought it from, I seem to remember it was a mod/admin/trader who had posted about it. I have tried finding the topic again but have...

Following on from the 200T Trophy topic which drifted onto number sold, I decided to have a look at which hot hatches were most popular. If you think you see a lot of Fiesta ST's about then you are right Certainly looks like Renault have lost the market with the 200T

I had the upper grills off at the weekend and noticed the entry to the air intake looks to be quite restricted. There is a large flap to the upper section of the grill. Has anyone removed this flap? On one of my old cars, there was a similar restriction on the intake and it was common for...

Need some help. I was just out driving, cruising in 5th at about 50mph, go to accelerate a little and it splutters a little (a bit like the kangerooing they do) dropped it down a gear or 2 and it was the same. It seems OK when cruising at a constant speed, however when trying to accelerate it...

I'm sure I have seen a post or document which showed the differences between the 197/200 road cars and the race/rally cars. Does anyone have a link to this?

I need to replace the dust seals on the pistons of my rear calipers. What is involved with the job? Does the piston need to come all the way out?

Has anyone done something with the plastic on the back of the recaros? Mine are looking a little tired so want to spruce them up some how, maybe vinyl wrap, plastidip, paint, etc??

Seen a few 197 and 200s around JLR, White 200, corner of the carpark X** JAR I think (200net sticker in window) Blue 200 Red 197 on site Think there are others but these are the ones I see regularly.

Saw a white 200 with a private plate on which I think ended ssx parked up by the Aldi/Iceland shops on Binley Road, Coventry on Friday afternoon.

Put the car in today to have 2 new tyres fitted as there was a nail in one. The locking wheel nut key rounded a little when I tried to get the wheel off yesterday so bought some new locking nuts. The tyre place managed to get one side off, but the other side isn't budging. They have even tried...

On a car with normal locks I would remove the battery to disable the car and stop it being able to be driven away, but with having the keyless entry on a 197 what is the best way to get the same effect? How easy is it to get the cable off the starter motor? (where is the starter motor?)

I have had a search but couldn't find anything. I have just put a Tunepoint in to be able to use a USB stick. What are the requirements/limitations of using a USB stick on this system?

I have noticed recently about an 'unsettled' idle. It isn't enough to move the rev counter needle but you can feel it and if your at the back of the car you can hear it through the exhaust. It is almost like it is hunting. Seems to pull fine and I had it RR'd at 192bhp a few weeks back. Any...
