Alright n1ck. I've been running my 197 since Oct 2006, almost 15k and regularly use it on the Motorway aswell as the occassional thrash. Make no mistake, it does not have long legs! 4000rpm means around 80mph, so when u compare it to ur Mondeo.....I think u get the picture. Economy wise, if u...

Sorry about asking mundane questions, but don't know what oil to put in my 197. Spoke to my local dealer and he reckons 10/40 semi synthetic. But Renault UK told me that normal 5/40 non synthetic is the stuff. I was thinking that fully synth was the way to go. Can anybody tell me what the right...

Seb I thought I was the only one with a nimbus silver 197! I just love the colour as it shows off all the bumps and bulges. Have experienced almost exactly the same issues in mine as you have. The brakes making that annoying noise at parking speeds and f-ing terrible economy. Took mine into...

Not sure, but I'd have a look on autoebid.com I got my 197 from them and although the broker was sh*t and the car took 3 months for delivery, it was a uk car and was prepared perfectly. I saved about 2 grand on my 197 when dealers weren't giving a penny off.

yeh but this is the best site for clio owners so I want to stay here. Just got mine and Im lovin it! Only problem is that everybody loves there 172's and 182's so much that they're never gonna change to 197. Just fancy going to some meets and hanging out with carnuts. Where do I go?

Just a quickie. Fancied comparing notes with any of 197 drivers. Plus just wanted to know where the best place is for meets and when. New to this having my own car thang....... Jay, if you're out there and you left the cliosport flier on my windscreen, TA.
