Picked this up as a replacement for the Laguna. It is a 1.6TDI CR Octavia Elegance with Xenons and Maxidot trip computer. It has 105 of the best dub power under the bonnet which makes it brisk in progress.;)
As they say, pictures says a thousand words.
The oil temp is a nice feature...
Just got back from the dealers compound to see the new car and took a few pics. Hopefully I get used to the colour soon.

Last year I decided to finally take the plunge and build a new race car for the 2009 season. I looked at several series and narrowed it down to Caterham Academy and Westfield Championship. I had decided to that the Caterham was what I wanted and so I started the fund raising, unfortunately the...
Sold it to a 17yr old last oct and just found out allvehicles just sold it couple of weeks ago. Seems like he had nearly a years depreciation free of 197.
Was tempted to buy it back but I think I would have regretted buying a 3 year old Renault TBH.
Some pics of the roadster. Excuse the bad pics as I didn't have my camera.
Work done so far:
Gaz gold pro suspension
Yellow stuff pads on front
Cambelt & waterpump
Clutch
Relocated rear fog
Removed spoiler
Removed style bar
Next on the list:
Full cage (Safety Devices or Caged)

Thinking of trading it in for a 3 series soon and was wondering how much I should push for as a trade in or should I just try and get more off the new car?
197:
56 plate 19k, racing blue, climate, sunroof, electric folding mirrors, MP3, Xenons, auto headlights. Stonechips in usual places but...
Problem: Pedal seems to have excessive play and maybe little spongy. Seems to go down quite abit more compared to RUK's 197 Cup, R27, R26 and when car was new.
Fluid changed last year in June
New braided lines from yozzasport
Bled in Sep but rear O/S caliper didn't have anything coming out...
The Courage tipped yesterday at the port in Jersey City causing major damage to over 300 BMWs not including 70+ BMWs that were total losses.
a majority of the destroyed vehicles were M3s (mostly in dark blue) with a variety of 3ers and 1ers smashed up as well. A small number of the cars...
Just wondering whehter you think Xenons are worth the £500 extra on the Mk3? The 197 has them fitted but they are still worst than the standard halogen on the 05 Laguna.
Can see further with main beam in the laguna than in the 197.
Today at around 6pm?
RX03 silver 172. Didn't see what the black clio was.
Then LY53 outside. Must have just driven past you as you were walking to your car as I seen you again at the headington roundabout. Sounds good.:D
Just wondering how much i the 197 worth?
Racing Blue, 13,500miles
Options:
Climate Control (includes Automatic Lights & Automatic Windscreen Wipers)
Double Distance Xenon Headlamps and Headlamp Wash (includes Dedicated Cornering Lights with black headlamp surrounds)
Electrically Folding Door...
Just looking for some rough figures and some guesses on the weight of these cars.
172?
172 Cup?
182 Cup?
Looking for some ideas at how much they weigh with the interior stripped for racing?
What oil should be used for the 197 or whats recommended?
Is it 5W40 or 5W30?
My dealer seems to think that Renault recommend 5W30 and the service booklet should be ignored.
