    What service?

    Cheers chaps, only just seen this due to being away this week. Have been tempted to give it a go myself but is not something that I've done before. If it's just a case of the oil change and sparks then I may just give it a go. Much appreciated :thumb:

    What service?

    Cheers Eddie :thumb: The air filter and spark plugs were last changed in 2014. The service without a mile indicator annoyingly but it would have been between 28-68K. Shall take a look at the filter in the morning. It's a standard airbox for sure but I'm assuming if it's anything like the old...

    What service?

    I've had my 197 just over a year and have had the service indicator flash up on the past few weeks. It's just ticked over 87K miles. The last was at 78K where the cambelt and waterpump were changed along with the oil/filter. Before then at 68K just the oil was changed. I'm trying to fugure...

    Thanks everyone :thumb: Cheers Jimmy. I'm not entirely sure to be honest and hadn't even noticed the tips were different being new to the cars! Hoping to have a proper nosey at it at the weekend to see if I can see any badging etc. It defiantly sounds standard.

    On Sunday I had a long trip over to Colchester in Essex to see a 197 in the flesh for the first time. Weirdly half an hour before arriving I actually got the first glimpse of a red one on the A12. Reg was EXS I think, anyone on here? We were the ones in my brothers girlfriends 595 Abarth if you...

    Cheers guys, I actually decided against going and seeing this one in the end. I'm not a huge fan of the mudflaps either to be honest and they would have been coming off if I had bought it, along with the front tints and sunstrip. The search continues!

    Thanks everyone for the warm welcome! Yeah the majority of them are white on white which wasn't my first choice when I was looking for one. All I can say is that they look much nicer in the flesh. They almost have a subtle 'creamy' colour to them which is stunning when clean. But your right...

    Ah ok, probably something that can be re-done then. It also has front tints and a sun strip as well which I'm not sold on so will probably be removing those as well. I also noticed that this one has a double exhaust system. Can I assume that this is an aftermarket system with all the factory...

    Bit of a strange question but I'm looking at a 197 for sale at the moment which I should hopefully be going to view tomorrow. However I've noticed in the pictures that the rear tints have some sort of border line all around them. This doesn't seem to be the case with all the other ones I've...

    Hi guys, I'm Scott, just signed up as I'v recently started the hunt for a 197. I'm currently driving a Honda Integra DC5 (pic below) but have just sold it after 3 1/2 years ownership as I will soon be house hunting. Will be gutted to see it go but excited for a change. The 197 looks a cracking...
