Saw a white Clio 200 this morning (29/06/15) at about 06:40am. You came off the end of the M65 near Sainsburys in Bamber Bridge and then into Lostock Hall. I was in the AB 197 :)

Blue 182 with Reg: FD54 EYX Overtook me after the meathop roundabout, felt it would be rude not to follow you for a bit!

197 - 28mpg average!

Antenna adaptor should be one of these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PC5-27-ANTENNA-ADAPTOR-CAR-VAN-RADIO-ISO-TO-DIN-AERIAL-AFTERMARKET-COMMON-CAR-/160577973487?pt=UK_In_Car_Technology&hash=item2563316cef Never bothered with steering wheel controls but the adaptors needed for this can be bought...

Hi there, Speakers are 13cm (5.25"), Don't think you will have to remove the door card, didn't have to in a 197 anyway. As for adaptors the speakers are physically a straight swap, but cable adaptors such as the link below are recommended if you do not want to start chopping wires...

Behind you in the Albi 197!

Never did find them, ended up wiring my own in. But I do now believe they go as far as a connector in the passenger foot well behind the kick panel under the door. So you could wire them from there.

Saw this parked in Lidl's car park this afternoon. Had gone when I left the shop. I was in the Blue 197 :)

Don't think I'll be able to make it! Got to rescue a mate that's broken down! Sorry, maybe next time :)

Should be able to pop down for a bit. Best give her a wash :p

Only just noticed this... I'm available most weekends so will have to check this section a bit more often :P

Yeah it is, very easy to put on and really makes the front end look better!

Haha :D I've still got it, got enough space to keep it so I may as well, not worth enough to sell IMO (115k miles) Here she is:

Looking good that! Loved my Campus, had it 4 years and at times I still regret replacing it with the 197!

Passed me when I was driving into the car park, not sure if you saw me or not!

Few night shots of my 197, should really have given her a clean before taking these...

I did think of the carbon canister thing... I did unplug it too and took it for a drive, expecting some lights to come on but nothing did, felt fine to drive too. Tested for voltage at the plug and it was about 0.27v with engine running or not... Might rip all the tape off one night this week...

Noticed this in my engine bay earlier today, just pulls out of the hole at the drivers side of the engine bay? Thanks!

Hi everyone, replaced all 4 stock speakers with some others I had lying around. Now something doesn't sound right, chopped the plugs off the car and tested for the positive using a multimeter, mate said this is how he does it... Had this problem before when I wired one of the speakers up the...

Unsure of the exact time but guessing it was about 18:30-18:45. I was in the Blue 197. Lovely looking car :)

Got some if this stuff left over from when I had a quad bike... Will it do the trick? http://www.halfords.com/motoring/paints-body-repairs/car-rust-removal-treatment/hammerite-underbody-seal-aerosol-600ml

Think it was originally from Essex, then to Nottingham, then to Preston so it's never lived too close to the sea... Yeah that's my plan, try to stop it getting any worse. Don't think any of it it detrimental but it's on my mind now. Thanks for your replies! Most helpful as always.

Hi, I recently bought a 2006 197 and today I removed all the wheels to clean them and the arches properly and couldn't help bit notice the amount of rust on just about everything except the spring itself... Changed oil and filter last weekend and noticed the subframe was quite bad with rust in...

It is part of the pump, and yes the pump should be under that plastic panel. Didn't think they were supposed to need changing though, although I may be wrong.

Yeah they've all been great cars, never had anything major go wrong with any of them. When I got the 197 it was very hard work when cold, but tank was nearly empty so brimmed with v-power and it seems a lot happier, still lumpy but nowhere near as bad!

Outside the Co-Op, I was in the Albi Blue 197 :)

Another photo of my 3 cars, sold my old mk1 today sadly... Needed the space and I'm awful for keeping my old stuff!

My old 1.2 generally showed 2 bars first, then up to 4 bars when warmed up, never saw it go any higher though.

Yeah might have a look next weekend, would like to get them sorted before I start having leaking issues.
