    Wiper issues

    I have added more info to the link on post #3 you need to check the linkage for free movement that will stop the car going into protection mode and killing power to the wipers most likely as you said there was a delay in the wipers operating in the first place, there is a second fuse in the UPC...

    Xtreme Motorsport Aluminum (inium) Radiator

    I don’t see why you’d need such a radiator unless you’re rallying or full-on racing. I get that you live in a hot climate, but fitting the air conditioner radiator would be tricky. The car is built to run in places like the south of France and Spain, so if you’re having temperature issues, check...

    Unresponsive throttle - Slow 197

    I went for Valeo 255400 we are now beyond genuine parts these days Renault has stopped a lot of parts and is deleting part numbers they don't supply the rear brake lines anymore. I cleaned the mounting point and the original sensor and refitted. I bought the sensor after but it's in the box next...

    Unresponsive throttle - Slow 197

    I had a similar experience so I replaced the plugs, both Lambdas, coils, MAP sensor, manifold temperature sensor, and CAM position sensor, also switched full-time to super unleaded (97), the highest fuel available in Northern Ireland. I got an RS Tuner with a cold start map, which improved...

    Gordini Seat Plug - Help!

    I used the eBay one and was fine you need to stay aware of the steering wheel position that the wheels are straight and the wheel is the right way up when you remove it so when it all goes back together everything is in the zero position when you pull the locking tab. The airbag tool was a 6mm...

    Gordini Seat Plug - Help!

    Here is the one I bought on eBay there are some things to look out for: 1. How to remove the airbag from the steering wheel a very difficult thing without a reliable modified tool. 2.

    Gordini Seat Plug - Help!

    The clock spring is replaceable it's not as expensive as you think, the new one I bought was £25 or so I'll have a look it was a 200 style car from Japan I was swapping the steering wheel back to standard from one of those stupid deep dished MOMO race ones. It's very easy to break them if it's...

    Gordini Seat Plug - Help!

    If your car has standard seats then there is a switch under the drivers left slide rail that tells the car if the seat is not clicked into place after being tipped forward so the airbag does not go off. But I have a feeling that if the steering rack was disconnected then you might have broken...

    Shock absorbers - What to buy?

    I personally find the standard suspension good and find the cup shocks with Eibach springs (black ones need to check which type they are) a bit bouncy, I have driven very short distance on Clio 200 genuine cup suspension and that was not so bad on B roads at normal speeds.

    Shock absorbers - What to buy?

    KYB are genuine shock manufacturers and top mounts, but low production volumes and contracts might prevent them from selling aftermarket. I have a 197 with Cup shocks and Eibach springs, while my regular daily 197 has standard suspension. I've seen B14 coilovers in a terrible condition on a road...
