    Bonnet won't open, latch catch nothing

    So do you think you need to pull the plastic outer back along with the inner cable to release. It passes through the bulkhead behind the glove box but I'm not sure if it is held down on the way to the latch. It all comes down to if the inner wire is not secured or the outer you could reach up...

    will a 197 diffuser fit on clio 200

    It was getting a bit late at night sorry for the break, Found some pictures of the gtperformance exhaust the tips are very slightly longer for the slash cut but I think the 200 tips should work with a 197 diffuser. I'm about 3hrs away from you so if you want to do a 197 diffuser swap I would...

    will a 197 diffuser fit on clio 200

    Ok what exhaust is on the car now is it a standard one or one of the normal after market ones as the second normally had interchangeable tips for the two cars it would be easier to make the rings fit. I'm up in Tyrone I have two 197 diffusers maybe a swap if your diffuser can be worked with.

    will a 197 diffuser fit on clio 200

    Have you a picture are you sure the funnels and or the chrome rings aren't missing I cant think of anyone fitting larger exhaust to it. This is how much a guy in France cut back his 197 exhaust to fit a 200 diffuser maybe not much help as a lot of 197 people melted them.

    Oil pressure switch removal

    Hang on there is a pressure switch (low oil pressure warning) and an oil level sensor which gives the oil level on the dash when you start the car. I made the mistake with the Williams Clio the level sensor is beside the oil filter and I broke the wires with oil filter strap tool when changing...

    Your in Portugal are you driving in the mountains the Brembo front calipers need regular work to make sure pads slide freely and the rear calipers can stick causing drag and heat buildup you might not notice with normal driving but will stop or slow cooling when pushing on.
