Hell yeah! Better than having a sessna!

A friend of a friend has an evo powered 205. Best of both worlds lol. It's making 600+bhp too! Mental

Fingers crossed you don't crash after putting them back on. Void insurance isn't going to do you many favours!

Mines 57 plate 197, 67k on clock and no 'box issues to date. Pretty cheap fix if it does go out of warranty to be honest. Don't let it put you off buying one of the best hot hatches ever.

203hp?!?.......

​He's checking if he has the cup suspension, not an actual cup. Can't tell that from a heater knob can you?

No mention of the mileage? also I suspect it will need the belts doing etc. I'd budget 1k+ to get it into tip-top condition. Still a good price after that though.

You turned off kings street towards the leisure centre, I was just coming up kings street and turned the opposite way into the high street. Possibly Harpham?

I've got a pic with the same theme

Dont hundreds of executive cars mercs etc have screens like this? How is it any more distracting than one of them or a normal windscreen mounted sat nav?

You do know 197's have this too don't you? Well all bar the cups anyway.

Here it is

It's awesome on the iPad with such a huge screen! With it plugged into the aux port on the car running music, it fades the music down to give directions. Nice and easy to change songs etc.

I can't possibly comment on that i'm afraid.

Quick update guys. I managed a pikey fix with this. I have a smart cover on our iPad, and with it rolled back the iPad fits PERFECTLY in the wifes car just over the center air vents, it kinf of hooks into place witht he cover. A little bit of none slip matting and a rubber band and it stays in...

How do they know it wasn't done correctly? Surely with that much devastation it's hard to know if it was done right or not?

It wasn't meant to, I just hate it when an everyday hot hatch is treated like some super car, only being driven once a week, fortnight, year etc. My comment on the rear brakes was purely because I've never heard any complaints about them, personally I think the 197 is over-braked from the...

No, please re-read my post. The only comment I said to ignore was the comment about it not being an everyday car. I'm pretty sure you'll agree that a Clio 197 is a car that can be driven every day, just like most other cars.

You do know there is no such thing as a black edition don't you?

£1300 on tyres and servicing in 8k miles? How exactly? edit, I've just realised you did more miles than that. The 8k was on that set of tyres! Doh. Still seems a lot for a year though.

I think it can be down to bad cam timings? Some cars will have had the belts done now, and if not done properly it can lose power. ignore the comments about it not being an everyday car, of course it is! It's a Renault clio FFS! Aside from low MPG (25-30mpg for me most of the time) it costs no...

There is a noticable increase in power at around 5k revs in my car......... Not sure why others don't get this? Yes, a 1*2 will stick with you and probably even crawl past in a straight line, however the 197 is MUCH more capable in the bends. The brakes are better, the suspension is better, the...

We use Sitecore http://www.sitecore.net/ and our website is www.supplychain.nhs.uk Not sure if it's the sort of thing you are talking about or not though.

A quick calculation on 1,200 miles per month works out about £10 a week more. Not the end of the world.

All the F1's have. Wasn't a dig at you, merely pointing out that you don't have a cup.

Just to make you aware, this isn't a 'Cup' as you have put in the title. The Cup was a different car. This is a RenaultSport Clio 197 F1 Team. PS, Nice car! I'm guesssing this is your first hot hatch and you are young? If so, please be careful as these cars do compensate for a lack of talent -...

Where a outs in Derbyshire are you?

8mm?! Seems very small for a spark plug! Spark plug socket sizes are different to normal sockets, the size on the socket refers to the size of the thread, not the nut size. So, a 10mm spark plug socket is actually a 16mm socket, a 14mm spark plug socket is a 21mm socket. I would imagine you...

Slave cylinder is a 'box of job on the 197 anyway isn't it? Worthshile just changing the whole lot surely?

Also, 6k isn't even cheap. I paid less for my R27 a year ago..... If you want a quick sale pe prepared to drop the price
