Lovely that, still fugly mind, 197 own in the looks dept ;)

Is the general consensus not he gearbox, but a slave cylinder issue? Sure Ive read it somewhere?

Get it on the lift. The worse bits we've encountered on the two we've done is stubborn drop links. Off memory remove the one that connects to the damper body, then iirc there's a small one underneath (this one) then remove a few bolts that connect the hub Then you need a f**k off pry bar...

Its a t**t, you DO NOT want to have a crack on your drive if you're not properly savvy with spanners. You need a lift at a minimum imo. We undid a few of the drop links, that then gives you enough room (just) to remove the struts. Pay someone to do it, trust me.

Carlack nano, I like using it on plastic headlights, keeps the UV from damaging and going misty/crap looking

I think the side strips and boot lock need CC too?

So its a pig without even seeing it? Better get your lottery numbers done if you can see not the future ;)

They are pretty cool, however the back end doesnt look right to me, clusters too big? Look like they've been lifted from the A4 or something!

:dead: Max power reader wet dream

Look ok on some motors imo (back in the day :o)

Badge painting brigade Stupid tow eye/nipple rings Toys hanging from the car Bonnet bra's w**k stickers

Perfect (bar the nipple ring)

Lovely bebadge the C L I O off the boot, makes a world of difference :)

and my door shut ;)

Good read that! Well done :)

Yeah, stick with stock, what ever you do dont get a ktec stealth (if someone else mentions it) Nowhere near stock in noise levels. Some links that may help...

Nimbus you mean?

sure? Look in your door shut,

have you tried revving it as posted above? it will clear the ticking for a short time as mentioned, that should confirm it. As said I've had two replaced, one in a 172 and one in a 182. Pretty straight forward to replace, arch liner out job possibly bumper.... It was circa 2005 lol

New charcoal cannister is no more than £50. Located in drivers wheel arch behind the bumper. The solenoids are always full of water when we've done mine!

One thing i'd have to factor in ;)

The camber on H&Rs can't be adjusted with just the coilovers, so the garage would have just lowered it :)

Nothing to do with any revisions, it was only a ratio change in 2007. Just look how many 200's are suffering now

Give it a rev when warm to say 5k, the ticking should disappear back on idle, only to return in around 30 seconds

100%

Out of stock, funny that?!! TL4 is a funny one. Get a good one and it feels fine, pretty snickerty.... I've (touch wood) not had any issues in my 2 197's, first one was a 06, current is a 08 cup with revised ratios. There seems to be lots of 200's falling over with them now, maybe more so than...

The colurs are bit ghey ino, the 172 had a better choice. The way i see it, LY - Homo RB - Looks well, but to own one 24/7 - gay BG - Nice but a pain, and it marrs far too easily AB - Poor mans Cup TS - bit meh, too bland, although on a cupped car in strong sun, looks cool IO - Ok, when the...

Whhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaatttttt??????! I've been good for well over 18 months now, just the coilies on the 197, and maybe that spoiler i have a part no for you to price up ;)
