I took a few pics and a video of Nigels 172, will get them on soon. Again thanks for a great day Donny, nice to see some new faces at the garage and then a nice sit down and meal after. See you all soon at the next one hopefully. Chris

^^ Ipod not working, constantly freezing. Sounds like you've got any if'fy one. Had my mini ipod 2 1/2 years and has never skipped a beat, never crashed and has withstood many drops onto hard surfaces. Just ordered myself an 8GB touch ipod too.

I always press the button on the handle twice, press it once and the indicators flash slowly, press it twice and they flash fast to let you know its activated. Also if you didnt know there also a button to lock the car the same way the handle buttons do in the Renault diamond on the boot...

Is that at Gitex?

I can see where your coming from, you do tend to get used to them and take them for granted after using them for a while and not seeing anything else to compare to. If you go down a road with no street lights with xenon and then the same with standard halogens should should notice the...

Blue Visions will give you a slightly brighter light over, say standard stock bulbs but will not really give you the shimmering xenon " look " that you would get from proper xenons, which the latter i guess is what your after.

This is very common on the 197, and is well documented over on renaultsport.co.uk. I had it on mine, for example when approaching a set of traffic lights and breaking lightly with little pressure on the pedal, the last 5 - 0 mph made a noise. This wore off on mine at around 700 miles, which...

We use this too, installed on and in conjuction with ISA 2004. So funny when you see the students deleting their temporary internet files and browser history, when we can go back and show them their entire internet browsing activity for the last 3 months, no matter what pc they've been on...

Ph2 - June 2001 http://www.renaultsport.co.uk/roadcars/heritage/clio172/information.asp

Slightly noisier but not too much, revving at about 4750.

Yep I'll agree with all that, pop your foot down at 70 and you will get an instant response, it doesnt lag for a few seconds or anything. As for the noise, it does sound good but yeah, crank the tunes up :approve:

On the motorway the 197 is very acceptable. People go on about it revving high in 6th gear but to be honest at a similar speed my previous 1.4 Dynamique was only revving about 500rpm less and was making about the same amount of noise. The response from accelerating in 6th isnt that bad as...

Make sure you build it in when doing the deal, I didnt and ended up paying 50 quid for a set of Mk3 clio mats.

Some more info over here that was discussed earlier in the week: http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=255416 I have the standard seats which TBH you wouldn't be dissapointed by if you decided to save the 850 notes. Nope, they're full cloth.

At around 1:30pm, on the island that is next to the Park Inn and has the motorway junctions. Think there were 3 people in the car and had cliosport.net stickers on the back side windows. Followed you from the island up to the cinema island.

Yeah I know, tell me about it, had only done about 2300 miles too !!! It was slipping like a biatch. Had a trackday booked at Donnington but only toured around a few times and that was it for the day. Took it into renault telford the day after and they said, yep there is a problem. There...

I saw that too, was a 55 plate IIRC, spent plenty of time up there after having a new clutch and steering re-alined so had a ganders at it while I was there.

Is the car brand new?? If so there is a very common issue where the brakes make a very loud noise at usually very slow speeds (3 - 0 mph, i.e. when pulling up to traffic lights) with very little pedal pressure being applied. If this is the case, it fades eventually, in most case usually...

I have standard but I did initially order Recaros but I would of had to wait ages if I wanted them so changed the order back to the standards. Although the Recaros would have been a nice feature and added to the look of the interior I am not dissapointed with the standard seats, as many...

They are compulsary with Xenon headlights, hence why the 1*2's have them as Xenons are a standard factory fit. I had them on my Dynamique which had factory fit Xenons and also on my 197. There isnt a seperate "button" to operate them, they work with the normal windscreen washer, when you...

Ahh, cool, will have to see what its recorded them. I think it must be a latest box, although I wasnt at home when the engineer came, apparently he told my mum that theres good and bad news when he came back in from the van. Bad news - not got another box the same as the one he was taking out...

If its still under warrenty get it back to the dealer, its a common problem with the sun roofs and theres a modification available to the handle. Had it done to mine and it never made a noise again.

Do you have a network port on your laptop? As shown in the pictures of the leads above the socket will look similar to that of an onboard modem apart from when you look closely inside, instead of seeing 2 little brass connecting pins you will see 8. If you have this, set the settings for...

Our new box is a Thomson, seems noisier than the old box, not sure if its just the noise from the disk spinning or whether it has a fan in it. Seems OK though, got some other option in the menus about Sky Anytime TV, which I thought was the program on the computer that allows you to download...

When I had my 1.4 Dynamique I was getting roughly between 28 & 32 until i went on the motorway for any decent distance. Tyre pressures were always checked recently. Getting around 22 -23 in the 197 now :p
