If your going to buy a 197 buy a specced one.
Its hobsons choice really-
R27 or fully specced 197 cup.
R27-plus options to look for- Xenon / projector lights & climate.
197cup- must have a/c + recaros + Speedlines.
Issues-
Check gearbox
Check steering rack
Check for clunks over bumps-...
try Renault goodwill on gearbox first- If you can get 90% then that's worth it-
depends on service history.
otherwise out it.
PS get your price then strip the recaros out of it.
Whilst that is true straight out of the Renault options list ( & thanks for splitting hairs forum police- everyone calls it the cup chassis), the reality is 182's specced with cup chassis but not spoiler are almost nil.
Ive only sold 80 182s- so maybe I don't know.
Its not the end of the...
No cup spoiler often means wheels refurbed to look like cup chassis alloys- Just a comment, so you know.
it may only be a non cup chassis car which is worth less ( not worthless )
Check the invoice for the belts- hopefully someone respectable ( check for cambelt kit + aux belt KIT)
good...
theres only a handful of specialists id go to ( or at least endorse a cambelt)
The rest- I would just get it done again. - you know 99% the rest have used the cheapest belt & no aux belt kit. Just another cheap belt.

Afternoon-
So I have a 182 + Cup racer seat with 197 seat mounts / base etc-
I know R-Sport will do an adaptor kit- but the owner says OMP will do a kit for maybe £50-
Any ideas?
Steve
expect to pay between 700-1000 for one then another 1-1.5 to mint it.
My advice would be find one on lowish miles with OK history for around £750 & then spend another £1250 to get it mint including belts.
There is no such thing as a PH1 that doesn't need money spending unless its 1 of 5 on...
I would amend your search to have RECAROS- don't take the leather as its just the standard square seats -
avoid GT spoiler- looks rubbish.
Speedlines & Cup chassis are a must.
Try & get the pleated recaros in leather- uber rare.
Check the gearbox & steering rack.
