If the cup rack is on some random Renault get buying them up and selling them onto unsuspecting 197 owners on Facebook for a nice profit 😂.

Yep it was cup pack equipped so has the shorter rack. That's why I'm more keen on having it refurbished than buying a used one and not knowing what one I'd end up with. That's very generous sir, I'll swap for some if your favourite confectionery if you find them 👍.

Dead spot going straight. It feels like there's a degree either way that doesn't do anything, it's as if there's a coupling that's got some backlash in it, that's the best way I can describe it. It was like that on our last Wales trip a couple of years ago and I figured if it was going to break...

The godspeed kit come with spacers, I believe it's just a 9mm spacer that's required though so I could easily knock some up. The BM has silver calipers and I think they need to stand out a little bit more. Maybe a light blue as the pear is slightly blue on the car 🤔.

Booked the clio in at Diamond Motors for the steering rack checking and or refurbishing. My research turned up a few instances of steering racks going sloppy on early 197's and I'd hope Renault had sorted the issue by the time the 200 was introduced but you never know. I saw a post of Mick's...

What is it you're planning on removing? I've no experience of arguing about warrenty claims but I doubt you'd be successful if anything drive train related had been tampered with.

Dunno I've never been. Probably won't be worth going twice.

Thankfully the clio wasn't in pieces for long after my last post. The bumper wasn't on right and kept popping out on the passenger side which was doing my head in. I managed to tweak the headlamp position which relieved some pressure on the bumper. It still pops out occasionally so I need to...

If you need any machining doing pm me and I'll see if I can help out 👍.

I can't believe you've had this nearly 7 years, it seems like it was only a couple of years back we were in Wales with the 3 BG's and your cup.

@Sidnancy is your man 👍.

That last fight is where I got stuck with no previous save anywhere near. I tried for hours but wasn't prepared for it at all 😩.

I spotted an MG Maestro the other day. It was white and covered in green s**t and looked like a barn find that had just been driven out of the barn after 20 years.

65" and too close. 😂

Have you looked at the engine mounts? Worn mounts could cause knocks and clunks that sound like suspension issues. Grab the inlet and see how far the engine can be rocked back and forth.
