    Cup or not

    My wife`s 2008 197 has a broken front spring and I am trying to identify if it is a cup or not to replace all four as it sits far too low and very crashy on unknown aftermarket springs. It has a boot spoiler and red Brembo calipers, am I right in saying this suggests it is a cup? Is there any...

    Xenon auto adjuster level switch

    Can I ask if anyone has or can take a photograph of the xenon rear level switch on their car as I have refitted mine to the new rear axle and may have done it incorrectly. It is a small wired box with two universal arms which sense the load on the rear of the car. It is positioned on the...

    New owner 197 in Glasgow

    Hi all. I am not new to Renaultsport Clios as I had a new 172 back in 2003 and loved it. Last week I bought my wife an 08 plate 197 in black. I got it very cheap (£1800) as it has some issues, namely: blown exhaust - flexi - new flexi welded in four baldy tyres - tyres replaced alloy wheels...

    Rear springs

    Just bought a rough 08 plate 197 and the rear springs are not matching. So much so that there is a noticeable difference in the rear ride height. The car has red front calipers, does this indicate cup pack? I have seen a couple of cheap nearly new rear springs on ebay from a clio 200 cup...

    Toyosport manifold flexi blowing

    Hi, just bought the wife a rough 08 plate 197 and the exhaust is blowing badly at the front. Now I got the car cheap so expect to spend a bit on it. On closer inspection it would appear that the single flexi is shot and the manifold is stainless steel. Realising that the oem manifold has two...
