I have read many reviews on the 197, some from other CS members and others in car magazines. It generally 'appears' that Renault have really messed up this time. It seems it really is not worth anywhere near what they are asking for it and is a general disapointment to those who were just dying...
Mine doesn't seem to mind the heat at all and just like Dick's, my needle has NEVER gone above half way either (it's my cars normal running temp). I did put the air con on for abit today and it did slow her down abit then, turned it off and she was back to normal.
Thanks for the comment about the wheels. I really don't want a 172 or a V6. I am not saying they are not excellent, because they are! I'm just happy with my little 1.6. I think I am getting to that point in my life where I know it's time to slow down 'abit'. ;) lol
The blue led is the VIPER alarm light.
I don't honestly expect people to like the lights much being as they are 'Lexus' lights, but I like them. Those wheels were a pain in the butt to clean , I almost gave up on them half way through. lol
I spent 'all' darn day cleaning may car today (from 11am up until 5.30pm) mainly with one arm (as shoulder isn't sorted yet) and now I am bloody knackered! New rear lights and side repeaters have also now been fitted.
Here's some pics.
Please excuse wonky glovebox. I have got...
Is this a church wedding with all the expensive gubbings too? I would never dream of making my 'Hubby to be' sell his pride and joy just so we could get married. If I really wanted to marry him, I'd settle for a cheap wedding and maybe get it blessed later when more money was available. I feel...
Really gutted for you. Its a real b*****d when you work your butt off to get something you want then some inconsiderate arse goes and ruins it for you. I hope you get it sorted as cheaply as possible.
It's ok, I do understand your point. I guess there is nothing can be done unless he can 'prove' the mechanic was at fault. I suppose I should not comment on that being as I don't know the guy.
I guess an engine swap might well be a good idea if you have the cash to get one. (if you want to...
If it was me, I'd have a hard time choosing between the Liquid Yellow and the Arctic Blue. I agree they 'all' look nice when clean though. Tough choice.
I really doubt it was your mechanic mates fault. It was probably a faulty belt. Is there no way you can prove it is faulty and therefore claim for not only the money you spent on it but for the damge it may have done? I would have thought (correct me if I am wrong here) there would be a way of...
I am not sure I could control myself if I hit the bugger in the face. I'd probably end up busting a jaw and ramming his teeth down his throat.;) I think I'd rather slap his arse so damn hard he couldn't sit down for a week! Lmao
I really don't understand why these car companies have to change so many things. They have a nice car, have various different versions of it that sell really well and make it very popular, then they come along and change it drastically and wonder why it no longer sells as well as it did. Have...
Sorry to hear that matey. Some people will nick anything! It really makes me angry, and I know at one point I 'may' well have said violence isn't the answer, but I now am of the opinion a darn good smacking would definitely be in order if you caught some-one trying to nick something. Let's face...
:eek: Bloody hell! That's some car park ding.
I remember years ago when I had my Viva, some idiot backed into my car whilst I was still sitting in it. I tooted the t**t but he didn't notice (or pretended not to) and reversed abit more, so I started my car, shoved it in 1st gear and floored...
Aww that's a really horrible thing to happen. I bet she is gutted. I know I would be. It really is amazing how so many people just don't care what they do to your car. This is why company car owners sometimes make me really lose my cool, as 'some' of them don't give a sh*t. This is probaby the...
I have to have the suspension done on the 24th of this month, then I will take it to the body shop to get the quote for all the work I want doing, spraying and fitting of kit, colour coding black bits and touching up some scratches the 'almost' thieving gits put in the offside rear 1/4. (looks...
Thanks Boyce. :) I have a couple of things to do, then maybe I will give it a go. ;) I expect everyone will hate them though being as they are 'Lexus' style rear lights. lmao
