Very nice and on an 06. That's ph3 territory. Looking forward to some South East meets when the weather gets better.

Now all you have to do is buy it!!!!!!! Don't worry about the Xenon's etc. More things to go wrong IMO. The standard lights are plenty bright enough.

Boll0cks to all the lying, manipulative climate change non-experts :mad:

I like the dark wheels too. I have 2 sets of wheels for my car and was thinking of getting the second set painted anthracite but the silver and the Nimbus really go well together.......when the car is clean that is ;)

Seb to the rescue :star:

Look in the for sale section here.

Personally, I just can't get on with the Cup spoil-it. It just looks too big for the car and a bit Halfrauds. Rest of the car looks very tidy.

Have you seen the Albi 197 in the for sale section on here?

Excuse me being thick but what does the Aux belt do?

Roll on Friday :D

My 197 is 3 years old but has done 40k miles. I assume that I have 2 years or 30k miles before the belts need doing.

I have just been reading some other threads about 182 owners having a 36k service and the belts changed at the same time. Does anyone know the interval for changing belts on a 197? It's probably in the manual but that's at home and I am at work.

I bought Seb's car which he had serviced where he lives. I went to my local Renault garage, gave them the number plate and they knew that the car had a full history and was still under warranty.

It's character building :S at least that's what Renault told me about my door rattles.

If the car has been serviced at a Renault main dealer, it will be on the central database. Any other main dealer can look it up. That's what happened to me when I bought my 197.

Ok, I didn't know how badly it affected different cars. My 197 (hasn't had ecu upgrade) only kangeroos for the first minute (1/2 mile). I thought they had sorted that on the 200?

Not far enough.............

Leak should be easy to fix though, so don't be put off if that is the only problem. The worst thing about that car is that it is just outside of the warranty. We have already had the extended warranty debate but it might be worth calling Renault and seeing if they will offer you an extended...

Kangeroo should only happen when cold and should disappear after a minute.

Check for 3rd gear crunch, any oil leaks by the spark plugs and make sure it hasn't been dented. Most important, make sure the brakes are very strong. The pads are slightly too big for the calipers and can make the calipers seize. Don't worry if the car kangeroos down the road from cold as long...

About 45 minutes away (assuming M40 is clear) so might be interested :approve:

Lowered????? more like raised by about 50mm. Looks like a tractor to me.

Car looks great. Agree with others that it is a bit 'high' at the moment. Lower it and enjoy.

In London as well. You need to take this with a large dollop of salt if his previous posts are anything to go by :rolleyes:

Just bought one on ebay for £20.50 delivered :star:

Bought it for my son :D

19mm that is ;)

You must have gotten a Wednesday afternoon car :D

Thanks. Mine had a new steering wheel under warranty just before I bought it. I think the Renault Sport plastic bit (for want of a better name) looks smart and sets the wheel of nicely.

+1. You are going to lose a lot of money if you sell it as is.
