Worth buying one of these for commuting to Uni every day, going to be doing about 400 miles a week and my clio's getting on a bit.
Bit more poke than the 1.2 I'm used to or just about the same? Any common faults I should look out for when buying?
Old man's handed me a phone that he want's unlocked and I have no idea where to start, anyone got any decent sites that I can get the code of for free?
Phone only cost £20 so doesn't wanna spend more than a fiver if needs be.
Is it worth waiting on the new Clio 200 coming out before buying or considerig buying a 197, most older ones seemed to be around the 10K mark, was just thinkin how much more they'll lose when the new 200 comes. Anyone reckon R27 will be sub 10K any time soon?
Anyone 197 owners thinking of...

What a crock of s**t, if I have to work 8 till 6 the least they can do is work there scheduled time, I don't appreciate being fobbed off with "oh sorry our office is closed, our opening time is 8 till 10" when clearly it's f**king not! :mad:
What are they like over a long distance, had a test drive with one fitted yesterday and while it was loud but bearable it was only for 20 minutes. Any sound clips are appreciated as well.
What are they like for say driving for an hour or so?
Did you compromise?
I've been loking at a few and there all either, high milers, poorly specc'd, wrong colour, or fecking miles away or a Trophy ;)
So did anyone compromise when buying there's and get one in the wrong colour or travel the length of the country for one?
Firstly Budge this morning going over the mini bridge in Leven at about 10.
Then a 55 plate RB going through Alloa at 12.15, had old style CS sticker.
Silver 172 at Alloa RFC, st52 ouz, had a shopping trolley spoiler, again with CS sticers.
Silver 182 SM04 going down the dual to...
Recently took this off my car as I found out it been cosing the car's erratci behaviour, i.e idling by itself and going into limp mode.
Am I likely to get any other problems now that it's missing?
Going to check out a car with them later on and was just wondering if there are any known problems with these, as I've heard there have been a few problems with 197's ones.
Just had a text from the cousin to say that 3 of the PE2's on his 182 have blown out and his had to have the car transported home.
Now I've never heard of anything like this happening and as yet don't have any pics, but just wondering if anyone else had this hapen to them?
Seeing as though I'm bored as hell and might be putting in an appereance at tommorrow's RR day, thought I would give the car some attention.

After an hours work:
Not too shabby for just some Meg's gold class and a coating of SRP.
Comments and abuse welcome :cool:
Parked up on the coned off section of road coming back just before the roundabout to take you to the Stack, looked like it had the old style CS sticker on the back window.
Nipped into Asda last night for a couple of things and came back out to find the car wouldn't start. Called up Ben (cheers bud) and he came and tried to give me a jump start but the car was only firing slightly before dying, eventually it only became a clunk at start up.
Eventually managed to...
Car doesn't respond but will rev to 2K and stay there without me touching the pdeal, have to restart the engine and rev the car a couple of times to clear it.
Previously solved this by removing the anti-theft thing from the block and covering it in tape to prevent it chomping through the loom...
