He won't have £13k though. He has £10,929 to pay off on the finance!

There are NO HOLES behind the C L I O badge on a MK3. Well not on a 197/200 anyway and I can't see why the 1.2 would be any different.

If you want a great, quiet cooler I have one of these for sale (shameless plug)

That's about the figure mine shows all the time! :S Stupid lard arse of a 197!

^ This man talks sense! Don't be rushed into anything.

Balls, I missed this thread! I would have popped down if i'd realised!

Yep, boot catch I would imagine. A job that is on my list for this coming weekend.

Your description of how the accident happened doesn't make sense to me. If she pulled out infront of you how did she sideswipe your bumper? A bit of a better explanation may be needed. However, I'd say if there is a witness then it will go down as your fault.

That's a 200 rear diffuser, and yest they fit if you can find one. There is a trader on 197.net that supplies these in gloss black fibreglass.

Accident damaged maybe? Seems an odd choice though? Why ruin a prefectly good 197 with THAT front end?!

How is this reply relevent? He never mentioned racing.....?

Definately this

£57.35 here http://renaultpartsdirect.co.uk/products/Renault-Power-Steering-Sensor.html

Age, mileage, spec, condition, history. All of these will factor into the price. Do you have a budget in mind?

Easier? Yes Cost effective? No The last car I sold was a 2005 Pug 307 HDI. Best part ex I could get against an R27 was £1200. I sold it on ebay with a no reserve auction for £2600 within 7 days. Part exchanging is just lining a dealers pocket. I wouldn personally only do it as a last resort.

New shocks WON'T come with bump stops. They are a seperate part so don't go buying new shocks expecting them to be there!

That V6 lookalike is a 1.4 (Not that it makes much difference! lol)

Good point actually. This is the very reason I always self service. The only time my cars visit garages are MOT time, tyre changes and soon my cambelt. Everything else I tackle.

Recaro's make the interior of the 197's. Without them they are pretty plain IMO.

Show me a 3+ year old french car that doesn't have a 'quirk' of some sort.... The 197/200 is no worse thatn any other car for 'problems'

Yes you certainly did. Personally I would make a complaint, however if you are upgrading it anyway is it really worth it?

I'm 99% sure there is a company that refurnbs these over on the Meganesport forum, Aren't they the same part on the 197? Let me dig out a link.......

It's 24k or 2 years, whichever comes first.

No, your inlet manifold won't get hotter than your brakes!

You've bought a 5 year old Clio 197 with no history? I hope it was cheap! It's due its belts around about now (it's 5 years old TODAY, happy birthday to your car) so if you don't have any proof of them being done then get it done soon. Other than that it's the same as any car, if it drives ok...

I love being old(er) £347 for my R27 for me and the missus. Hers is only £250 a year on a brand new Seat Ibiza (again, for both of us) Most i've ever paid is £1,100 but that was when i was 21 and was for a modified Punto GT and a Golf VR6 (Yes, £1,100 to insure BOTH at the same time)...

I'm not being funny, but if you don't know what you need should you really be atempting to service it yourself? A lot of it depends on which service interval you are at. You could need all/some of the following: - Oil Oil filter Air filter Fuel filter Spark plugs Pollen filter Cambelt +...

Are you sure you'd lost that much? 2 litres of oil on a driveway would be a HUGE puddle!

Back will be fine, not the front though as you can't turn off the passenger airbag.
