Did you crash on the first roundabout after the pub? :p

I wouldn't ring insurance just yet. See how much it will cost to put right yourself. Even if you don't claim, they will know you had a bump and your premium will still rise.

Sorry, thought I'd RSVP'd yes ages ago!

I don't think there is a better mod for sub £40. I'm struggling to see any downsides. The 2.5k rpm burble is addictive.

Sounds good to me!

I think the issue is that it's about 50% longer than a normal battery. He'd have to reposition it in the boot to fit it in.

You're better off asking on Clio197.net. There are quite a lot of Irish 197/200 members on there.

I did 500 miles with mine this weekend and I love it. Certainly hasn't harmed performance at all but the noise is so so so much better. Sounds pure Scooby when you floor it through 2500 to about 3500. I did a side by side performance comparison with an FN2 CTR on a private road and I was...

089 is the Ph1 box.

I found the 197 to be more planted and more confidence inspiring even though the 172 gives more feedback. Straight line speed there is basically no difference.

Looking at this filter makes me think that filter size has very little effect or RamAir must make some seriously restrictive filters: http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=350836799485&alt=web It seems to be a tiny filter for the size of the pipe work.

North or South? There's a meet at the end of this month in Cornwall @McGherkin

You can use Kangoo ones. http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=291263037789&alt=web And http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=271047059988&alt=web

I should be up for this. Probably won't go on the RR though.

I'll be there!

I had a Panda 100hp. It was either embarrassing or cool depending on who you asked.

It's total pot luck. My 75k F1 still had the original box with no issues yet some guys with 200s are on their third box.

Last time I was in there there was a 182 turbo! You can't go wrong IMO.

Always gone to SC. He will fit you in at a moment's notice as well. He should raise his profile on here because he's the Birchdown equivalent on Clio197.net. He's got a Ph1 track car himself and always has at least two Meg engined 197/200s in as well.

My offside drive shaft was knackered. I had 330 miles to drive to get home. I tried to get an OE one but time was not on my side. I fitted one made by 'European Bearing Technologies'. Anyway, the car drives okay except for a resonance at high revs and in second gear it knocks quite loudly...

The driver's side is dry. Most of the rollers were sat in a big pool of grease on the plastic engine tray at the bottom.

It turns out it was the offside drive shaft. The boot had split and by the time I changed it there were no ball bearings and splines left on one of the three bits that goes inside the gearbox.

Or know where I can get one at this time? Got a 300 mile journey to do tomorrow...

When I accelerate through the gears, it's fine until I get to third gear from about 4-5k rpm. The whole car shakes noticeably. It's not wheel balance as the steering wheel doesn't shake. I've checked the engine mounts and given the engine a proper good shove and it hardly moves. When I first...

Plenty of brake fluid and looked a good colour as well. Abs rings and sensor clean next.

I'll check the brake fluid, thanks. The pads and discs have done less than 10k so are still fresh. I do get lights when I move my passenger seat but I'm sure they are for Airbag and SERV light?

These lights come when I'm driving quickly and take a sharp left turn. As soon as I stop and turn the car off, they stay on for about five seconds after the other lights have gone out but then they go out as well. They never come on otherwise at any speed or if turning right. I've plugged in a...

I had a wheel bearing go. It was definitely on the the left hand side. Had the front changed but there was still a slight drone. Turns out the back had gone at the same time!

Quoted £30, ended up £50 because it took longer. Glad I didn't persevere with it! Anyone want to buy a single 15mm spacer? (requires shorter wheel bolts)

Cba drilling anymore. Thank god the abs cable had a break point half way because the head on the screw on the sensor rounded. I'll drop it off somewhere tomorrow and hopefully refit everything tomorrow.
