How come spark plug sockets are a weird size anyway? One I have says 16mm on the side but it's actually more like 21mm. Are Spark Plugs measured differently? EDIT - Just read its the size across the threads that gives its size, so a 16mm spark plug is 16mm across the threads, nothing to do with...

How much through them? Is it a genuine one or have they found an aftermarket supplier?

I'm sure the new iPhone is rumored to have a new smaller dock connector?....... could cause you a few issues if you upgrade to it at some point

The 197/200 wheels wear just as badly as the 1*2's, so please don't buy one just because you think it'll last longer!

I'd be very suprised if any Renault dealers kept this in stock. They don't even keep stabiliser links in stock at any dealers near me, all special order. Usually here next day though if you order early enough. Chris

They're also going to be EXPENSIVE! http://renaultpartsdirect.co.uk/products/Renault-Clio-197-%28Cup-Model%29-Wishbone-%28NSF%29.html

I doubt anyone is doing aftermarket ones tbh, probably a dealer only part

5 years or 72k on the 197, they increased it to 6 years on the 200 as far as I am aware (weirdly it's the same parts on the 200 though??)

Registration date on this is 28/07/2008, makes it five next July by my calculator?

Why are we saying the cambelt is due n September? It's an 08 plate, it's not due until july 2013 as far as I can tell?

At least it'll be on a 62 plate though!

With that budget, don't buy a 197. A 5k 197 will not be great (unless you are very lucky)

I have to agree, the mk4's can easily see 180bhp with very little cost and will still return 40+mpg all day long. Having said that, they still handle like a boat unless you throw cash at the suspension! A mapped one should easily see off a Fiesta ST

PS, nice looking piece of kit though! I'd be tempted to make it into a coffee table or something!

I'd have thought if it's in a dry place, it should be fine. WD40 or something is hardly going to hurt it though

Nothing wrong with it, just a different beast to the Astra that's all! I owned a 1.4 Auto Clio (briefly, it was a money making exercise. Given it for free, sold for £1,100!) It was a great little motor!

Maybe better if you put this in the correct forum area?

lol 5k! Even if it were legit it wouldn't be worth that!

Re: ***How much is my car worth?*** I know it's my car, so I would say this but I think it's worth a lot more than 5.5k. I can't find any r27's anywhere near that price, even ones with 80k on the clock. The seats aren't worn enough to warrant any reconditioning, it's a slight worn patch, no...

Re: ***How much is my car worth?*** All what recon work? Needs wheels done and that's it

Re: ***How much is my car worth?*** I'm well happy if that's what it's worth. ;)

How on earth did they run into you by stalling!?! Have you opened the boot yet? This happened to me a few years back, I didn't check it out for a few days and the boot wouldn't close after I'd opened it! Bit of hammering and stuff soon sorted it out! ps, this was on an old megane coupe I had...

Compared to a 1.2 clio, it'll be great. yes some people will tell you it's boring, or slow but it's all relative. I've you have been driving 'fast' cars for a while then the Astra will feel like a step backward, however if you have only ever had a 1.2 clio it will be a great leap forward. I...

Ahh right, probably won't miss that then!

No point spending money if there is nothing wrong IMO. If it's not due a belt, and the dephaser isn't noisy why go to the expense of £500+ to change soemthing that isn't faulty? I'd leave it until the next belt change TBH

Take it to a reputable A/C specialist and get them to test it. £20 to diagnose it if faulty or £50 to recover the contents and refil with correct qty. I had mine done recently at www.autokool.co.uk Excellent service.

Re: ***How much is my car worth?*** Hi all, I'm not thinking of selling but wanted to check i'd not paid over the odds on mine. 2007 '57 plate Ultra Red Clio 197 F1 Team (R27) Full history No options (std headlights, no climate just ac, no auto lights etc) 57k miles belts due in 6 months...

They have one from the factory, which is made very much worse by a decat. Yes. the belt is due this year (depending on when it was registered I suppose, sept onwards) Thats going to set you back £450ish so is definately a bartering point. Yes, you can pick up something with Recaros and the...

Yep, exactly what he said ^^

I can't make it this year anyway, i'll be in the sunny Caribbean getting married. Gutted though, it best come back next year, it's always a good weekend.
