197

Hi I'm new to the forum having just bought an 09 197. Can anyone help me with telling me what my rear seat fixing should look like. Where the two split seats meet and hinge at the base of the seat I noticed the seats move around and having looked at it the small seat has no nut on it at all...

Hi, does anyone know the size of the Clio 197 topmount bolts? and if possible, the size of the corresponding nut? thanks in advance...

See you in the work car park most days, you've let me out of one of the thousands of spaces a fair few times. Wouldn't know I'm off here as I am usually driving a black VW transporter but I have a BG 182 and a Flame Red 220 Trophy. Jake.

Hi there, I'm looking to purchase a 197 with Recaro buckets seats. A few people have said it will be a lot cheaper to buy a car with the Recaro seats already fitted. I'm just wondering which spec Clio comes with the Recaro bucket seats. Many thanks Luke

Hi. I currently have a Renaultsport Megane 225 Lux, after selling my Clio 182 (after ten years!) and Volvo V50 last year. I have the itch to buy a Clio again, and was recently offered my old 182 back, however my wife was not happy with this 'backwards' step and my obsession with the 182...

It's weird how things work out. I've spent literally my whole life of cars owning VW's, from post war Beetle's to Polo TDI's it's all I've ever had (except a Fiat Uno). My Polo 130 was getting boring and out of nowhere my next door neighbour managed to crash into it. That was it for me, I got to...

Bought my 197 Saturday; its an awesome car to drive! Living near the New Forest has meant I've had a chance to get on some decent roads and the car is great fun. Got some plans for it but nothing major to start with - planning on lowering it a little any recommendations?

Hi, Exhaust seems to have a very noisy rattle at about 3000rpm. Please check out a video clip. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dIPwy_soQno&feature=youtu.be Over 3000 rpm, it sounds lovely, but at around 3000 it is so loud and annoying. Anyone else experience this? Cheers

Thought I may aswell copy my project thread from cliosport.net over to here. Apologies if some of it makes no sense as it's purely a copy and paste from there. Cheers:

Hi all, new to the forum and just taken delivery of a 2007 Clio that I plan to use on track. I have a day booked and paid for but think I'm going to have a problem with noise, the seller told me it had been de-catted and was about 98db. I doubt it very much and could do with a bit of advice as...

Picked up a 197 yesterday! Already, put an Aux Cable into the Cabasse Stereo system, which was an hassle to say the least, but love the car so far, except the fuel consuption, which is a slight shock to the the pocket from a 1.2 Fiat Grande Punto. Any ideas on what I should do with it...

Evening guys. So i picked up my beautiful clio 197 on saturday afternoon after some searching. It was nicely waxed and polished for me when I collected it so the first thing I did was take it along some country lanes and get to grips with the performance this little rocket has to offer. I...
