Have you gone for the projector lights Daniel?

I did my 200 HID's without taking the bumper off so it CAN be done - but isn't easy ;)

I love these mid-range revisions! :dapprove:

Doesn't sound like your typical belt/pulley failure as the power loss was gradual. Either way, I hope it's not too costly and you manage to get it sorted soon Sara. :)

Mine was MOT'd at Renault for around three years with 182 xenons on and it never even got mentioned.

No probs mate :) I removed my AV and chucked it in the bin ;)

There are two CAF's as one is closed by the acoustic valve when the engine is cold and the vlave opens to allow more air in once the car has warmed up. This is to meet EU noise regulations, something that isn't needed here in the UK. The other CAF is always open. That small hose is to tell...

If it was the coil pack it would be miss firing/running lumpy. So when it's been in to Renault there are no faults stored in the memory?

Any pics? If it has a crease then I doubt it'll be an easy repair :(

Looks excellent that, don't see many 197 reps :approve: I echo the thoughts about the rear arches but I know they're bespoke so it'd be a major hassle!

It shouldn't lose memory as they're coded to the car. First thing I'd do is change the battery in the key as you don't have a spare. The key works on two systems, one controls the locking and the other the immobiliser. Failing that try the decoder ring.

I am (hopefully) getting one from my dealer so I will let you know once I receive it. Oh and yeah, my 182 'cocked' too whenever I jacked it up. I don't think it's a new thing, just another way of Renault keeping costs down.

Which hotel Tim?

Any regular 200 will have the strips primered ready for spraying to match Rob.

MATT BLACK can provide brand new complete 182 xenon headlights.

I'd put RAOC purely because ClioSport isn't attending the show. But I don't think it really matters.

I would too, it's in their interests to keep you happy. I had a 182 alloy replaced FOC without any real proof that the dealer had caused the damage. I was 99% certain though as I'd know if I kerbed an alloy...

As above really. Should have ordered a regular 200 ;)

I would - RUK will contact the dealer in question and they'll get bollocked for a repair of that quality. My front end, for comparison - Oh and my Brembos squeak too, I just brake harder ;)

That is a shocking effort Paul, I definitely would be kicking up a big stink! Looks like something a DIYer would do to try and hide the poor fitment, not something a bodyshop would do. Post this over on the RenaultSport forum mate, should get RUK's attention. Oh and name the dealer too.

I'm out too as I'm 99% certain I will be staying in a hotel instead. 1. clio carl 2. vickyx 3. oafcmarky - between 3-4pm 4. Dan' 5. Jon.G 6.WeeCraig1508 + 1 other 7. Smitchell 8. Willie 9. Togusa 10. Woolford172 11. -KarL- 12. Jesus Still up for convoying down though :)

If you just wanted 172 Cup suspension then it's as simple as buying the dampers and springs and fitting them. I think Fred is listing the Clio Cup race setup there...?

Yeah as said, perfectly normal. Glad you found Fred's guide useful :)

Nice, better with black wheels though ;)

The 200 has them as an option. 197's did too as far as I know.

Have you had the headunit out at all? Seems coincidence that your hazards and sat nav screen have both been playing up seen as they are both in the same area. The screen not coming on could be a simple loose connection inside the dash top. Have you had the dash off?

Ball joints are the bottom of the hub Jamie, attached to the wishbone. I have everything needed tool wise if you want/need to borrow anything.

Ball joints would be my suggestion too. Check they're tight first and replace if they seem worn at all. A new pair can be had for £20~

I think the turbo'd lump and various other bits added about 40kg to the kerb weight, so not a massive increase at all.
