Would need to get a couple of the little plastic exhaust trims to tidy the back up and ideally get the exhaust tips realigned slightly as they are a bit off

OK so after trawling through service history and contacting previous owners it became obvious that there were in fact no 197 cams in the car at all. I suspect that these may have been invented at the point of sale to explain the lumpy idle. So I sent the car back in to be timed to standard and...

That rear pic 😊

Garage have come back to say that they made a tool to match the existing timing which was between 7 and 8 degrees but that it's running VERY lumpy at idle now. Does anyone know if that's pretty normal with 197 cams?

Oddly I can clearly remember wondering what all the fuss was about the driving position when I had my cup. I've only really been in it briefly so maybe I will get used to it and save myself a small fortune.

So all my parts etc came and I will be getting the car back tomorrow. The guy used to work for a Renault main dealer and has done loads of work on 182s and other renaultsports. He's going to have a look round the car and let me know what else might need doing. (At which point I will go to a...

The quote was nearly 900. There aren't really any renaultsport specialists in Northern Ireland. The guy Chris that is doing the work has a tonne of experience with renaultsports but works for a used car dealership

Is this what I am after? FOR RENAULT CLIO SPORT 2.0 172 182 CAMSHAFT DEPHASER PULLEY TIMING BELT GENUINE | eBay

OK so the garage is quoting me extortionate prices for the belts, and water pump and fitting. £370 labour and around £500 for parts? Can any kind soul advise where the best place to source the parts is?

I'm not sure who put the cams in or even if there are in fact 197 cams in it as there is no receipt for the work. I'm based in NI so not sure borrowing the tool will work in this instance but appreciate the offer.

Taking the car to local garage today. Pardon my ignorance but when changing the belts is it easy to spot whether or not the car does in fact have 197 cams? And if so how would one know. When I spoke to the guy he said he would kkow by how they are timed but that approach would assume they are...

Should be plenty of pics of cars on 15s if you search. Think some in this thread https://cliosport.net/threads/clio-182-ff-on-15-inch-wheels.719517/

They are 16" yeah. Look decent as they are but could do with a refurb. I had been set on silver then saw ash's 182 BG trophy thread from way back and really love that porsche grey. But the current colour is growing on me. I had to get on the drink to stop myself from taking it out again. Coming...

Planning on finally getting the drive tarmacced this summer so the jungle doesn't grow up inside her. Need to sort that Leon out as well, been parked for 18 months and is turning green.

Just got it home and had to show serious restraint not to really open it up on the way back. Few pics as it stands, looking well imho

I was driving too fast on a country road and some sheep had got loose out of a field. As I approached the crest of a hill, a load of them came running over the hill towards me, they had been scared by a car which was on the other side of the road coming my direction. So as a result of me going...

Yeah that's what a mate said which reassured me somewhat. I'm not at all clued up about car mechanics. So Im always paranoid that Im missing something massive. Fully prepared for the timing belt to go on my way home tomorrow. Only done 20k since last change but would be just my luck.

I've been loitering around now for a few months and was originally looking to get a nice 172 cup as I'd had one in 2008 which came to a grim end involving some sheep. However I've just put down a deposit tonight on a BG Clio 182 FF. It's on anthracite turinis and cooksport springs. Its got a...

When I wrote my cup off back in about 2010ish I was looking at one of 3 cars. The list was an z3 m coupe, a v6 and a vx220t. Ended up buying a vx220t with the vxr turbo, full milltek, map. Such a bad choice. Couldn't live with it day to day and sold it after 1 winter. Prices of the other 2...

But to only include one picture.

Nice of them to tell you how many pages are in the drivers handbook, the service book, the radio handbook, child safety book, network list etc.

Your partner?

Did you damage the spoiler? Or hot yourself in the face with it? Or both?

Just spotted a black 172 for sale where the seller claims it is a 172 cup and that it's listed as such on the v5. I stuck the reg into parkers and it says it's a 172 cup. Never heard of such a creature. Am I losing my mind?

Looking good. Have you considered selling it to your son and buying it back for half the price just before Christmas?

I'm sorry I have upset people here. My joke was ill judged and totally unacceptable. I realise that I made this forum feel unsafe for dad's and probably sons too. Please know that this isn't an empty apology and I will be taking time away for a period of self examination and to re-educate myself.

I thought that was quite obviously in jest. And also a Partridge reference. Seriously though, who needs enemies when you've got dads

You bought it back off your son for half of what you sold it to him for 3 months earlier? Sub human scum.
