If anyone else has this problem, theres no need to remove the interior boot trim. If you crawl into the boot, on the boot latch on the inside, theres a white circular piece of plastic behind a transparent silicone cover that can be pierced. With a screwdriver, pierce the silicone and push the...
Hi guys, so my boot switch has been a bit dicky over the past few days, the boot has been randomly open when starting the car and stuff, so ive ordered another switch, but then tonight its given up, is there an easy way to get to it from the inside? Im hoping i can get the trim off and plug the...
Thanks guys, appreciate it! Unsure of the rules of selling on the forum, however an A3 print of a 182/197 (in a solid colour of your choice, like the posted image) would start from £30 posted. Additional detail/personal customisations would be an extra cost that could be discussed based on...
Neighbours probably wont speak to me for a month after getting the machine polisher out after work, but nevertheless it’s ready for CSF tomorrow [emoji1360]
Thanks man, haha i had a 182 before this which was getting around 35-40mpg, this is getting around 25-30mpg, driving it to work and back probably around 330-370 miles to a tank which isn’t the worst [emoji2371].
Great cars though, totally different feeling than a 182, feels more sturdy and the...
So after a year of ownership I’ve made a few changes here and there and with my old thread images breaking i thought id start a fresh. So this is my Clio 197 Lux, judging by the how many left site theres only around 20 of these left on the road. You probably know the differences in these...
It can yeah, the way I got around this is by taking 3 images at 13s shutter speed, highlighting a different area each time so the boot, side and front. Then using the darkest image as a base, I added the other two images as layers and adjusted the opacity to evenly spread the light across the...
Hi Guys just after a bit of advice, so i'm after a bit of noise from my 197 but don't want it ruining my life. So i've been looking at removing the centre section, ive heard about there being a flatspot but realistically how much does this affect the driving experience? Also does this make the...
So it was on and dribbling a bit so i turned it off and it slowed the dripping down but when turned back on it didnt start dripping again, so really have no idea [emoji23] everything that i can see in the engine bay looks like everything topped up, bit of an odd one, it may well be the air con...
Hi guys, this maybe a silly thing but just thought id check.
So last night i noticed there was a puddle under my 197 and passed it off but then its just happened again.
The puddle just looks like clear water, doesn’t smell or have any colour and is coming from underneath inline with the gear...
Couple of little additions, some nice shiny exhaust tips and some old looking renaultsport surrounds for the numberplate, feels a bit more mine with my private plate on too
It cant really be compared to the 182, i loved my old car for different reasons but this just does things differently, keeps its revs when changing gear and has a lovely raspy sound! The steering and suspension are just right being soft but slightly hard when under a bit of boot, but at the same...
Hi guys, thought id share my newest purchase, had this couple of days now and love it! Completely different to my 182 in every way, feels a lot newer and sturdier... whereas the 182 was a bit more planted and ragable.
This is one of the LUX 197's, sporting the Leather seats, grey/carbon dash...
I declared all my mods and they gave me a reasonable price that isnt worth me buying it back to strip and i dont think it would ever feel the same to drive, there was a lot of bent metal under there ☹️
Considering putting a bit towards a 197 but could happily settle for another 182, been very...
Honestly just the worst, its more heartbreaking when you got to work to put money into something you enjoy and then its just gone in the morning.
Yeah the other wheel is facing the other way and that one not attached ? probably not that much mechanical damage but its because their was so many...
So, i woke to the sound of my alarm the other night and came out to my 182 like this, hit and run and nothing no one to claim off, complete and utter shame, it's now written off and gone ??
On the lookout for a nice 197 now
just a couple of weeks ago
Hi all, noticed today on my prosport gauge that the engine was running at 120°c but the fans weren’t kicking in (usually runs at 90) the dash said it was fine, anyone know at what temperature the fans should kick in?
Thanks
