Hi Anyone know where to source a replacement engine from, eBay seem to be low on engines, KTEC seem to want stupid money for a second hand engine before there is any work even done to it, and REN PARTS Ltd don't even have a phone number that work which make me wonder what is going on there?

Hey guys! I am going to buy this Rstuner from fastchip, or from somewhere else... ( still need to check about import charges to my country) , so i have maybe a silly, stupid question... I know that you have to buy ecu map, but i need to ask you guys, do you all buy a map, or are you friendly...

Hi all, Looking to fix up the side bolsters of my blue dot Recaros but having trouble finding material to match the original. Is the material from the standard clio or any other renault seats the same? I'm living in Ireland so any help would be much appreciated. Thanks

Hi all, Just joined up today. Have an '07 Clio197 for the last 12 months and thought it was about time to sign up. Living in Ireland and haven't seen many on the road. Looking forward to learning more about the car and the site. I've attached a few pics of the car. It was bought in Nothern...

After a short trip in my 197, completely out of nowhere i get ABS/ESP and SERV light come on and a electronic fault warning on the dash. Also my brake lights no longer work (bulbs are fine) but all other rear and also front lights are working still. For this reason im assuming the issue likely...

Sold my 197 a few years ago and have regretted it ever since. Whilst wasting this Sunday morning on Collecting Cars, I have saw this and must admit it takes my fancy… https://collectingcars.com/for-sale/2008-renaultsport-clio-197-cup Is the owner on here or do any of you knowledgeable folk...

I’ve just managed to buy a 2008 197 that’s completely stock and wanted to get people’s advice on suggested mods/upgrades. I want to keep it fairly oem+ with subtle mods that keep it driveable as a daily. Some ideas I’ve had so far are a sprint booster, exhaust back box delete (don’t want it to...

Good morning, new member here. Last week I had a terrible accident in my Cliosport 197 2006, and it will unfortunately be written off. As i'm sure you can all imagine I'm absolutely devastated, I have been offered a price from my insurance company which is frankly insulting. I'm trying to find...

Hi! I have suspected for some time that my clio 197 is running too rich. There is a strong gasoline smell when it stays with engine running, exhaust tips quickly goes to black and it seems to have less power. The only information from the computer was flashing engine managment light, but it...

Hi guys I have a Quaife LSD which I am looking to get fitted to my Clio 197. The only company I can find so far to do the fit including removal of the gearbox is K-Tec Racing at Blandford and they want to charge £650 in labour which seems rather steep. I have had numerous quotes to fit the...

Hi all, I am on the fence whether to buy Clio III 197 or 200. Is there any difference in suspension setup between these two? I read the facelifted one should be a bit softer. Is it true? Is it a noticeable difference? Is there anyone, who has driven both, and could compare them? Thank you!

Hi guys, I've recently taken ownership of my brother's197 and there's a couple of spare parts in the boot which apparently belongs in the engine bay :think: first is a large "A3" sized plastic panel marked as , internet searches refer to our as merely "plastic tray" or similar, so no clues...

Hi all My 197 has decided that the aircon isn't going to work. The garage has checked the pressure and all is good, they have replaced the pressure switch since that was an easy(ish) try. They said that there is no power getting to the clutch so as a result, it's not kicking in. All the fuses...

I am removing my centre console I have disconnected everything but trying to disconnect the start Stop button so I can wrap it how do I remove it as it doesn’t seem to want to budge

Hello people, I have just bought a 197 and have become infatuated with the nuances of owning it! Kangarooing when cold, the knocks and noises etc. Anyway, my mission is simple, to make it clean and revitalised! I have already reconditioned the melting steering wheel, changed the window seals...
