The best thing you could do with a V6 is chuck a sheet over it and keep it stored away for years. In 10 or 20 years time its gonna be one of them all time great classics like an Rs200.

I can only give you the info he gave me, i wont be needing to deep pockets though cos someone drove into the car and wrote it off lol, so its kinda academic ay.

I asked the question when i picked up my 197 two weeks ago and the answer i got was that aslong as renault can claim against the company who did the work your fine, and that one service can be missed.

No it wont affect your warranty, aslong as you get the work done by a registered company then your fine, also worth knowing your allowed to miss one service without voiding your warranty.

I had a viper fitted to my previous car from K-Tec. Had it on there for over two years and it still looks the bees knees and never had any trouble with it.

Do it yourself, wouldnt believe how much you can save. But failing that, www.bbpt.co.uk in Chelmsford are really good, recommended.

Mine does this too, it rattles on heater speed 2 but when you change it and go back its dissapeared. Must be a common problem.

My 1.4 brakes were abit pants too, i was considering this kit ('apparently' they look the bees knees behind alloys too) Eventually just went for EBC discs and pads, did the job great.

Had this kit for over a year now, used all the products and replaced em three times over. Everything you need for a gleaming clio lol. Well recommended.

I havent, thats why the Apollo induction kit came back off and the standard set up back on, cos its managed to have a cold air feed from behind the grille, guess renault managed it then :rasp:.

Ignore what most people say about saving your money and buying a 'proper' car. I had a 1.4 for 2 years and people would tell me the same thing all the time, but what most of em realise is that you cant always afford the insurance on a 172. I tarted my car up regardless and despite it made little...

Appreciate that mate, seeing how things are going atm you might hear from me soon lol.

So much for bedding in your new pads lol.

If you got a trade card its even better to go halfords, you get like a good tenner of 4L oils

Plugs, engine oil and g/box oil can all be bought off the shelfs at Halfords. The pads can be ordered off www.ebcbrakesdirect.com They're really good and quick delivery too. Hope that helps mate

Shame for you mate, the clios are really getting a beating this xmas season. :(

Is looking likely to go 50/50 atm due to the curcumstances they cant prove and lack of witnesses. Obviously with it happening right on top of christmas a quick resolution isnt on the cards. Spoke with the insurance company today and they said the likely course of action is to renew the...

I changed the clutch cable on my 2003 clio myself, took me no more than an hour. Was abit of a s**t job but well doable. Clutch cable: £20-30 abouts

Lol no worries mate, least someones got the time to read your thread ay.

EBC all the way

Apparently its bad for your tyres if you get too close, so Autocar say. Damages the sidewalls and makes em' seep air.

They're both the K4M engine so i'd imagine the engine would be quite and easy swap, all i know of is that the older unit uses cable throttle and the new one fly by. As for the gearbox i cant help you lol.

What with the way the countries going car manufacturers arent exactly building alotta cars atm. Had to wait 4 months previously for the order to come through with the options, probaly looking at that again.

When your 21 and previously a named driver ( so 0 no claims ) insuring a 197 wasnt easy to start with mate lol, to take the blame for this would cripple me, financially.

I was indicating off the r.about from the inside and coming to the outside lane, she tried to take me round the outside in a rush for the next exit. And in a foul swoop one crappy old mk1 clio destroyed a brand new 197. And people say theres a god

Shes trying to blame me for it, despite my rear quatres damaged and her fronts damaged. So its set to drag on an eternity as they try and find blame.

Ever since i saw a 172 cup on the way to school many years back i always wanted a renaultsport. Over the past two years i been saving up for my very own 197, and after volunteering for two afghanistan tours and £18,000 later i was set to get one. Took delivery two weeks ago and i couldnt have...

I looked for a set of these too for my previous 1.4 Couldnt find em anywhere, Angelworks said they could supply a set but the power gains wouldnt justify the cost. If you find a pair let me know though.

Apply movement effort to the steering wheel with the engine off, then start it. If it has power steering the steering wheel will lighten up soon as the engine fires. Gotta b the easiest way to see

Brothers Saxo VTR was much more lively with a decat fitted, too loud for my liking though. Let me know how it works cos i was gonna get that myself.
