Some 197/200 do seem to be prone to syncro issues, but ive had two 197's with no issues. Think it boils down to mechanical sympathy, or lack of....

You'd struggle seeing as the RS are 5 stud ;)

Yes, just YES! Love the 5 and 6. Want so much, once i've sorted a house out (to buy) I WILL have one of these, its my mission :)

flol! no s**t!

^ Perfect! (well as a 200 can get) Would look better with a 197 nose (nearly there ;)) http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2717/4138376752_0c2e3e8fc2_b.jpg

Quite like that!

Mint as per, just needs some nice Silver Turinis back on it ;)

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 ;)
