    Lower ball joint clio 197

    If it was me I'd check both swivels are shot first. If you can do it yourself, Adam a trader on here from Renault Wolverhampton is cheapest for new parts, otherwise you can send the hub away for refurbishing. If you can't do it, there are several independent traders on here who won't rip you...

    Lower ball joint clio 197

    There's quite a few threads around on this if you do a google search. The bottom swivel is common and is £200 a side as it comes as part of an ally casting that the hub mounts to. Apparently there's a company that will replace the swivel for about £60ish, plus you need to remove and send them...

    Shark Fin Aerial

    There's a fixing but above the headlining at the back of the car. Original aerial has an amplifier built into the base, so let us know how the shark fin works.

    Auto locking

    If that doesn't work, hold the cdl button and drive up to about 10mph and it should beep?!

    I got no blow :(

    If it's a non cup, it may be the heater resistor. When it fails it either stops completely or runs flat out regardless of the settings on the climate panel. There's a test where you can bridge the unit out so it runs flat out, try a search on here. Several people on eBay do an exchange repair...

    Internal climate sensor

    Hi The heater on my car seems a bit colder than what I remember last year. I have a 172 with climate. When it's on auto, it always seems on half fan speed. If I set it to max or min I get full blower speed and full hot or cold air out of the heater, so think the roof mounted sensor may be...

    197/200 Gearboxes...

    My 200 was owned by a 60 year old who mainly did motorway miles, it had a new box at 60k miles when the car was just over 2 years old. Bottom swivels on the front hubs go too, £200 a side unless you can get the swivels replaced in the ally casting. Wifes 58 plate 197 has 60k miles with no...

    Clunk after going backwards then forwards

    My brembo pads do this, better than having them seized in the caliper!

    help me

    Had a knock in my 200, turned out to be the rear seat upright pivot rattling around the housing! Rear parcel shelf rattles too!

    Replacing a shock absorber

    Leaky damper shouldn't affect the ride height unless you have gas shocks! Check your front spring, they snap at the top regularly.

    dampers gone?

    Bounce the corner of the car, if you push down, it should rise and drop, settling in the normal position. If it bounces up and down like an american 70's barge the damper is shot-thought this was how the mot testers checked??

    dampers gone?

    One I've mine had a leak, it was stuffed! Tried doing the bounce test?

    Replacing a shock absorber

    I had a an advisory a for worn top mount and it was actually a broken spring? I thought it would be difficult to lift the suspension enough with a bar to test a damper, thought they used the 'bounce' test?

    Indicators - Lights work, dash light does not.. but the bulb is fine...?!

    Remember the lights are Led's and act as diodes so you'll only get continuity one way. Tried measuring the voltage at the plug??

    Speedlimiter works, cruise control not

    Sure the speed limiter worked on mine before I bridged the clutch switch?

    Is the rs tuner map causing this?

    Thought they ran open loop when cold??

    Been to Tunisia and these were everywhere! Never saw a sport version though!

    Speedlimiter works, cruise control not

    I've just retrofitted mine, cruise wouldn't work without a clutch switch. I bridged the two pins out whilst I'm waiting for the switch and its working fine now! Looks like the switch bracket on the clutch is missing? Will check mine when it stops raining!

    Steering rack bushes

    I had my tracking done recently and found sometimes the wheel would be fine in a straight line and other times it was a couple of degrees anti clock wise. I looked at the rack mounts and there is a polished/clean bit of the rack about 1mm either side of the mounting rubber, so I got the wife to...

    CSS'14 peoples opinions and experience

    First of all, many thanks to those who organised the event. It must have taken a lot of time and effort. I have a 9 year old who loved all the free stuff and spent most of the afternoon on them. Food for me was fine, but I'm not a veggie or pregnant! The venue was OK, but I cringed when some...

    Inner track rods and ends

    These fitted my 172 non cup and standard 182, they're not lemforder but have been on the car a few months now without a problem. http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?729674-SMI-tie-rod-s&p=10301270#post10301270

    cruise control and limiter switch broken 182

    Think there was a thread on here how to repair them? Did mine a few years ago, think you take the switch apart and bend a little spring steel strip??
