The plastic trim down the drivers side of my windscreen (outside) is starting to come loose at the top - because of this, the wind knocks it and the rattle is driving me insane. Sounds like it's my door or window rattling but it's just this plastic bit of trim. Best way to secure it back down...

Windsor, going passed king edwards hospital. Got a quick glimpse but looks beaming. I was in queue of traffic going towards old Windsor. Stuck in it now! Stand still!

Right, so.. At work, I'm an operations manager so I'm in charge of majority of departments including finance, customer service, admin etc. Everyone sort of cracks on with their own things, however there are a fair few files, say for example refunds, that each person constantly adds too then...

I've noticed, whenever I'm in 4th gear, if I put my foot on the accelerator slightly and then take it off, I feel a 'kick back' through the gear stick. Could it be time mine is about to pack up?!

Sure I've passed it a few times. Looks like the owner lives in the flats there, not sure if on the forum already? Had no flyers on me but will pop one on next time.

Hi guys, Please don't think I'm a complete idiot because I'm aware the engine heat can take the skin straight from your hand but is it common for the 197 to produce such a large amount of engine heat? Example, I drive 12 miles to work, quite sensibly, no traffic and takes 10/15 minutes. I get...

Not seen it before but seeing as it fits so well on the 197, I'm assuming it's a custom made one?

Just had my manifold and exhaust changed but once I got the car back, everything on the car is working barring telling me my average miles per gallon and my range left in my tank. Both are stuck on "0". Mechanic said the battery died over night but it's working fine for me now and the trip...

Just after door handles and front bumper re-wrapped in white. It's been wrapped previous but wearing away. It's on a Porsche Carrera 4S. Cheers

.. how much roughly renault would charge for a heat shield on a 197? Need one tomorrow so it's my only option I guess.

Bought this from Renparts, described as good condition - I'm worried I'm going to have to pay silly money to have it fixed and they're going to split shortly as well! Fraying slightly, I'm not sure if this is normal. Cheers.

Basically, at work we're using Magento, when I'm uploading a product image (out of the blue, was working fine this morning), whenever I click "Browse Files" it looks like its not done anything because it's opened the browse image dialouge box behind all open windows. I'm currently running an...

This has happened ever since I've had the car (February) but I am always forgetting about it until I need it so always forgetting to ask for your guys help. My main beam doesn't always switch on. You really have to pull it inwards quite hard and it's like it's not 'Clicking' in to place. It's...

I was the 197 behind you - if you're on here then there is no way you couldn't have heard me! Both flexis went this morning! :@

I rung these guys a couple of times as my Flexis had gone so I needed a new manifold, flexis and mani cat.. both times they told me they would get someone to inspect the condition of what they had in and ring me back.. those calls never happened. They are now out of stock - does anyone know of...

Basically, got a puncture this morning and I think I may have thrown my locking wheel nut key away by accident during a move, what's the best option? The nearest Renault garage to me said it can take up to 14 days for a replacement and obviously I cannot wait that long as I need the car for...

Hi, Flexi's on the 197 have gone - I'm looking to just buy a Toyosport manifold to replace. Has anyone used one of these before - feedback? What would be the best way to drop the old manifold out? Subframe etc out or engine out? Also, the standard 197 has 2 cats where as the toyosport only...

Just out of interest - what deal did you get? Is it worth haggling with them over price or are they very firm on their prices? Cheers

Hi guys, Basically got given a pretty decent condition S4 for a part exchange for a car I had. I'm looking to sell this phone now as I am an Apple fanboy and have no use for it. I've 'tested' it as much as I can, the only thing I haven't checked is that it's all working with a simcard in. As...

Spoke to a welder today, he's told me £300 labour to have the manifold off and £150 to weld new flexis on. Do I buy a second hand full system (manifold, flexis, cat) for £225 and then the £300 labour, go with the option above or buy an aftermarket? What would you do?

Only caught the back end of the 197 - M4 Roundabout. RB182 - this morning by the BP. Female driver. Looked happy with herself!

Firstly, apologies for the bad photo, maybe it's too bad you won't be able to help but anyway, my exhaust started blowing, sounds a bit like a helicopter. Popped the bonnet and had a listen and there's a pipe which looks like it's wrapped in wire, and the wire is frayed slightly, am I right in...

Alloy cleaning? Exhaust tip cleaning? Dash cleaning? At the minute, I'm using Wonder Wheels cleaner, Autosol on the exhaust and just some cheap stuff for the dash. Any recommendations?

Recently my exhaust has started blowing and it sounds like it's coming from the front end of the car. It's quite a loud blow and sounds like a helicopter blade spinning. Would I be correct in assuming it is more than likely a downpipe? If so, how easy a job is it to repair/weld? Adam from Ren...

It's basically the plastic cover that sits under the engine on the bottom of the car. Need to start messaging people breaking a 197 and want to know the actual name. Cheers.

That I could take my car too, they'll test drive it and diagnose anything they can see/hear wrong? Reason I ask.. my car doesn't 'feel' right and it's making some funky noises. I can't even describe the noises because I've told a few people a rattling noise and they've said engine mount...

May sound very stupid but what is this on the stalk? (The rain drops) It is nothing to do with speed by what I can see as that's done by pushing the stalk down. Is it anything to do with auto wipers? Not noticed it on previous cars.

Managed to come across someone selling a 1999 Punto with only 45K on the clock. They said I can have it for £170. They said the thermostat needs replacing and a new battery. Now, a broken thermostat could cause it to overheat, how can I tell that nothing more sinister is causing it to...

Noob question but probably a quick answer; My rear view mirror is very wobbly so I've bought adhesive pads to replace the old ones. Is it safe to just pull the unit off the windscreen? I'm asking because I'm wondering how the wiring behind for the automatic headlights is placed? Jeeze, this...

Was just checking my tyres etc and noticed a bit of plastic snapped and fallen off somewhere! Passenger side on the rear of the wheel arch. Easy replacement? Does it need to be replaced, or? Pictures are off an iPhone, naturally.
