I'm talking about 20 mins plus and many many many attempts trying to put it into gear. I've already tried pumping the clutch which doesn't help. Once I find a gear and drive it's good as gold *touchwood*.

I did my research on the 197 compared to the 200 and I thought the 200 didn't suffer from many gearbox issues :( when basically will refuse to go into any gear and seems to happen from cold although have only had the car a week and used it 3 times!!!!!

Morning all. anybody know if there are any common issues with clutches and gearboxes with the 200 as I've driven my car for 3 days and on 2 of the days it's been difficult to put in gear. First time I couldn't and called the AA etc then took it to a garage but they test drove it and couldn't...

Cheers guys, seems crazy that they seem to be like it. Oh we'll least that sheds some light on it. Loving the 200 cup though :-D

Haven't been on here in ages due to a couple of years trouble free motoring in the RB 182 cup. I've just recently acquired a 59 plate Clio 200 cup in white and love it! Loads of torque compared to my 182. Just seeing if there are known issues with paint matching as it would appear one rear...

Ok ok, just making sure as I haven't got money to burn if it doesn't help lol. I like having a decat coz I think it much sounds better with one, personal choice at the end of the day though.

My engine management light is on but this is because the cat lambda sensor isn't connected as I couldn't get it out the cat, so I'm using a lambda blank. Gotta be the lambda sensor, also it stinks of fuel I've noticed, can't remember it smelling that bad with a Decat fitted!

Glad u got it sorted. No change with mine although there is a pattern to it. When I start the car from cold it idles fine and is a bit ruff like it was previously, it appears that when the closed loop map stage kicks in it has no power when u try and accerelarate and back fires, but after 1-2...

Let me know how u get on Gazzeth. Don't know whether 2 invest in an eBay fault code reader or throw money at a lambda sensor. Gonna drive it 2 work for a few days letting it warm up first 2 see if it sorts itself out!

Update: just started the car as it's been sat there for a few hours. It was idling very erratically, at points sounding like it was going 2 stall, pressing the throttle a little or fully would respond after a few seconds but it would barely increase the revs and engine really struggled. After 3...

How have people sorted it coz at the min it's undrivable from cold as most of the time there literally isn't any power.

Is ur car ok once up 2 temp? If it was an issue with the lambda sensor then surely the problen would there there when the car was driven from cold and when up to temp?

Never had this before, just happened from switching the cat to the new scorpion Decat. Just been out in my car again, intermittent power during acceleration when cold, warmed up it's fine. Disconnected batt for a few hours, still the same :(

Yeah I know they're jerky from cold, but you can put the accelerator pedal to the floor and nothing happens, just a load of popping and no power, but if u lift off and apply accelerator, it's fine for 1 or 2 seconds, then back 2 no power. Does the ecu need 2 adjust as I've had the at on for a...

After quite some time of trouble free mototing, my car is failing me again :(Basically i've swapped around my ktr decat with my cat several times for mot's etc and haven't had any issues. i have just brought and fitted the scorpion decat as it's a bit easier to fit then the ktr one. Now when the...
