Not sure if this point has been discussed elsewhere but read the entire article yesterday. They concluded that the Clio might have scored even higher if it DID NOT have the cup pack!!!!

Had a red 197 behind me today and waved for him to pull alongside at some lights. Turns out he is a forum user (Red07dansky) so we pulled over and had a quick chat. He lives just down the road from me. 2 197s in a row looked :cool:

Car went in for brake pads last Saturday and dealer told me the callipers were shagged. Getting a new set under warranty :D In the meantime, I am driving my mum's 06 phase 3 Clio 1.4 Expression with a panoramic sunroof. Car is really nice with anchors that put my knackered Brembos to shame...

Dropped my car of at Theoco today for front pads. Told them about the feel of the brakes and said that I think that the calipers have seized. Just been called back by dealer to say calipers have seized and they need replacing. They are £315 each!!!! They are going to check with Renault on...

I have rattles in both of my doors. The noise comes from around where the speaker housing is and although annoying (especially from the passenger door) is not the end of the world.... It is probably such a small movement that it will be hard to sort out. Questions: 1) Does anyone else have...

Saw 2 burnt orange and a liquid yellow 182 on the road recently. Seeing them in the flesh is so much better than looking at pictures. Amazing colours. Have to say that I prefer the burnt orange with the cup wheels. Very :cool::cool::cool:

Went to my Renault garage to have my front pads changed. They said that the pads had 5 % life left and needed changing straight away but unfortunately had to order in the pads. They will be in on Tuesday. Normally this would not be a problem as I take the train to work. This week however I have...

Quoted by my local Renault dealer for front brake pads for my 197. Sounds reasonable to me. What have you paid? I have a good mechanic but have decided that I would prefer this car to be looked after by my main dealer as I have had great service from them.

Hi all I just let the wife take my new car out with one instruction......don't kerb it!!! As much as I would prefer her not to drive it, the fact that she wants to, and she gave me hell for buying it:S, means that she has finally come round:D:cool::D Anyways, I was thinking of putting down...

Hi all Going to be putting my private plate on soon as the V5 turns up. Currently they are screwed onto the car. Has anyone else stuck theirs on? I think that it looks much nicer IMO. Anyone know of any issues with sticking the plates on?

I have read in articles that the rear diffuser on a 197 actually works (unlike the fashion statements that everyone else is putting on their cars :dapprove::dapprove:) and am curious if anyone has some facts on it. Just for the pub conversation of course:rasp:

Hi all I have already posted on here a few times and picked up my Clio 197 yesterday. Just wanted to say hello to everyone. Great forum, everyone is very friendly and the moderators obviously have good control as I have posted in the wrong section a couple of times :o

What is the best product for getting the grill, the diffuser and other bits of plastic on a 197 black again? Thanks

Picked up my Clio 197 today and have already done 150 miles (40 of them was because I went the wrong way home from picking it up:S) I was a bit worried as this was my first french car. I normally buy German or Jap but the build quality seems fine. There is a dodgy light in the dash and a...

Just swapped my insurance over from my Bora (group 8) to the Clio 197 (group 15) I am picking up in a few days. Still got 5 months left on the policy and the increase in premium until renewal time was a hefty £54:cool:

Hi all I am new to this forum but not new to hot hatches or forums. I am looking to buy a Clio 197 in the next few months (got to change the wife’s car first!!!!) and wanted your opinion on whether to go for a standard 197 or a 197 F1. Just before you all say go for an F1 (which I think are the...
