Autosmart G101 all purpose cleaner to scrub them Autosmart Tardis to remove the tar - took 3 or 4 go's stuck a coat of Infinity wax synergy ceramic on them as I had some left, would probably use qtechniq c4 next time (probably wont be a next time as im too busy taking the engine in and out on...

this is a failsafe to stop the system restarting the car if you have got out and the door switch is faulty.

Morning session booked for the 197, let's hope it's still alive by then

is the bolt on the lower arm (the front one, not the rear that goes upwards) in the correct way, I recall coming across this before and someone had put the bolt in back to front and I'm sure it butts up against something so isn't fully tight when it feels tight!

nope no docs, super fast turnaround too, i just use the show plate configurator and go standard font etc so its doesn't have any of the markings etc required on a uk plate, and then a slightly smaller front one to fit the recess on the mk2

so you don't trust the garage's diagnosis, but your not willing to try a suggestion to actually confirm diagnosis?

You remove the full gloss black dash surround that surrounds the screen etc, and then you can remove the vents from that to replace if required, given its a 2015 though you could always get a ph2 2017> one for the nicer vent surround! just need to make sure you get a climate control one, not a...

as above, requires a battery replacement and a service by the sounds of it lol

Little treat for the new year! Came from this seller on eBay: https://www.ebay.co.uk/str/klauskars Very happy with the quality

Hardly rare, its the same as any non RS 01-05 with AC/no climate there's about 5 in my local scrappy lol

Insurance?! I cant remember the last time I seen a police car....

You should just remove the 2 10mm bolts circled in red, then pull the little tab upwards and the airbox hinges down and towards you.

Group buy on Welcome to the Clio community stickers incoming?

yes in the UK/europe a 1.6 16v from 2004> had rear discs, as did all DCI 100 clios. and of course the 172/182 straight swap when no ABS is involved, just swap the rear stubs, calipers and discs with bearings. you then require a pair of rear disc handbrake cables and either make new brake lines...

Kirk done a full respray on my ph1 172, I had a bit of a wait to get booked in but then he turned it around in just over 2 weeks and its flawless! seen some of his fabrication work on a Ferrari that was in for a full respray before mine and it was very nice

My genuine Renault one for my 197 was stamped both LUK and Valeo ! my RSI has a LUK in it as that's what we fitted in the customer cars at the garage I worked at and I've never had an issue with any of them (and it was the cheapest!) and its been spot on

driveshafts should be fine id have thought, its only when you go 2.0 16v widetrack, no ABS is good as it makes a rear disc conversion nice and easy! im not sure if its the same over there but in the uk the clio 2 with the K4M had a cat on the manifold, but meganes with the same engine didnt, i...

my K4M Clio goes really well, with so little weight it doesn't feel much slower than my 197 lol Front brake upgrade is nice and easy, I'm not sure if you need the hubs (id suspect you will) but other than that its an easy swap. just remember MOST solid disc cars I've come across had the 52mm...

ironically its one thing I don't have access too is airbag coding, never needed to do it! - Stu @ renomotive will have the means to do it, or as above SWR

yellow 197s look so right. Would look much better with a set of 200 wheels (said no one ever)

oh i don't have one that connects to a tyre, I've got the one that you pressurise yourself, its got a valve on it so when you disconnect the hose from the reservoir cap, no more fluid is coming out, so you end up with your reservoir at the same level as it was before you started, just with fresh...

Doesn't that only happen if you release the pressure while still connected to the reservoir? I disconnect the connector then release the pressure and that way you don't fill the res to the top. to the OP, I built mine from dry and I flushed 5 litres of fluid thru and still didn't have a...

Ive never seen one that works for years, they let water in and it kills them. @aldo_87 recently repaired one

I've never seen one with the van panels they always looked like cars with no rear seats, probably what they were!!

There is a rare old beast for you... I don't believe they were ever available in the UK in 5door/2.0 - I did see some in Europe back when I had mine though. -this one is RHD though...

few points id make having owned them all over the years. there's no reason imo to own a trophy over any other mk2 RS as a drivers car especially given the price, for me the 172 cup was the best drivers car, and you will have just as much or more fun in a cheap ph2 172 with change to overhaul...

I run AD08RS on my van and they are absolutely fantastic in the dry, blow the Michelin out the water with some heat in them. It's a summer only car so ideal for it's usage. Everything else I run PS3 and it's a great all rounder

That will be better than one of those carbon cleans :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:

yes
