cool, i'll see if he posts in here, if not i'll fire him a pm asking his general experience with them.

Cheers buddy, been looking over at DW for a good while, but could never find out anyones experience, i appreciate without a pro assessing it that it could be anything really. Just got to get myself some bits and bobs ordered, got a spare panel sitting and off i go and tackle the car!

For the Detailers in here, What is the paintwork generally like on these cars, hard/soft etc, i know without someone seeing the car its hard to tell. But the general paint job on a clio. Cheers

OFT!

The differences between the 197 & 200 i am led to believe are the certainly the front end, rear end, steering, tweeked the gearbox, and also done some head work on them, hence being better low down than the 197. 95% of parts from the 200 will fit the 197. So for me IMO i could not see me...

I believe they only have to be the same size. Which in his case were, but on the same token every tester interprets the MOT regs differently, and in your case you failed it. (No i am not a tester - but have a fair understanding)

Hi there, I can bleed brakes fine - not an issue on single nipple calipers - but as the Brembo 4 Pot has 2 nipple, whats the best/correct way to bleed them, i have searched through various threads/forums to see, and its conflicting. On one hand i get bleed in this order, Outer Nipple - Inner...

Switch of traction controll and should help a little, it''l be because its cold, and if it does it when warm get it checked over. But they will say there aint nowt wrong with it, i mean i took my 197 up cause of the kangaroo effect and said to them about the update for the map, they never hada...

nah it dont look weird at all, makes the car look much better with the holder off! at the end of the day, your car your choice!

Ha Ha - Gotta love the boffins at Merc, fair enough old technology but very innovative - would have been better if they covered the wheels!

Re: Z4 - Perfect No More (But it's being fixed so it's all OK) Forgot to add, as petty as this is, if you have centre caps make sure these get sorted too, i had to fight with my insurance to get them done, they said they were not part of the wheel lol!! Insurance companies can be really bad...

If it wasn't for the number plate holder i'd say 99 Sepc, but that bulge just ruins it for me. Keep current one!

Re: Z4 - Perfect No More (But it's being fixed so it's all OK) Was the car shunted at all? as if it moved any distance may be worth getting new tyres all round as well, as if you think about it, the car moved whiled handbrake on and in gear i presume? thus when it moved may cause a flat spot on...

All it is - Can of tyre weld!! So if there is none either it's been swiped or used!

Looks good that - After the emergency phone call for a jack - me thinking you had burst something underneath the car or it had fallen of the scissor jack or something :-P

Yeah i ordered another set and rocked up this morning, so there all done now, much better looking :)

Yeah there in the same place.

I roughly get 24 - 26mpg, if i wanted economy i would get a nasty tractor diesel. But instead i have a 197 and enjoy driving it, i wouldn't have got a hot hatch if i were concerned about MPG.

How far done the line / or not with this ;)

It was a Kenwood job, i dont really like the slot on the front of the units and the Kenwood didn't, full unit opened to put a CD/DVD in. As you can see it goes one step back so sits vertical - sold that and got a pioneer after that. IMO it finishes the dash off having a Double Din unit. Also...

I think what he means is that they have upgraded everything but, and that it aint up to the job of cooling the water down

All i had done to mine, well had a full boot install too - Sorry for hi-jacking the thread......

If the box has been done its happy days, and even if it goes should be covered under a recall. I looked very closely into this too, was close to getting a full Ibiza Cupra R - had everything, but never, just left the engine well alone, there not to bad in the country roads these, as said - get...

I'd personally report it to the police and to your insurance company, at the end of the day, it may take weeks to sort something out etc, and she also has failed to report an accident etc. Its people like this that make my blood boil as it happened to me, something hit the rear of my car and...

Exactly what i was gonna say, used to have a wee polo, i'll have a look for a pic, the pedal boxes are very common, and when you see why its a daft design, even the new one they put in aint much better, just a little bit of extra weld. The part its self is £30 from VW - but the labour is the...

I'm going f**king mad, theres one very similar over there lol
