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.

Once you know the number of miles you've done and the number of litres of fuel used its a simple calculation, no need for any websites. Divide the number of liters of fuel used by 4.546 = Gallons (eg 25l / 4.546 = 5.5gallon) Divide the number of miles travelled into the gallons figure = Miles...

Best place is clio197.net for 197/200 info. Sorry for advertising the 'other' site, but it is better for the 197/200 owners.

Perhaps you should make your posts clearer in future? Anyway, back on topic. £80 for 2 genuine shocks is excellent. You should just buy them at that price Where is that from by the way(or was it the ebay ones above?)? Never heard of kayaba!

Renault Parts Direct? I've used them a few times recently. This is a 182 CUP shock, however if you message them they will add the correct one for you within a few hours. They are a Renault dealership, you will get full renault parts receipt etc...

It could just be soemthing like the alignment being out. Definately check the 'brighter' bulb, make sure it's not just had an upgraded bulb in that side.

Anything to do with it telling you that the alarm has been triggered at all?

Spotted a Trophy M1 southbound Jct 28 - 27 07:40ish today I glanced across as you passed to give you a thumbs up, but you just stared straight ahead. (I was in a red R27 in the nearside lane) Chris

For the price of the balljoints I'd just change them as a precaution anyway personally. The braking/moving away noise sounds balljoint or drop link related to me.

PM received, still no wiser though. MyCarCheck app holds virtually no data on it (just says it's a Renault Clio 2ltr) but the Motor Insurance Database shows it as a Cup. What does the V5 say?

Post up the reg and someone will check (or PM me if you like and I can check for you)

And you aren't guaranteed to be able to buy back the car either.

Any pics of the damage?

It's clearly been driven the way god intended then! Make sure they do the brakes and tyres and it should be all good. Make sure you get some sort of warranty on it too as the renault one is going to run out very soon (3rd October by the looks of it). How's the history (You might have said about...

Definate write off, no chance of them offering to repair that at all.

Don't take this the wrong way, but it could just be a change in driving style is needed. I went from a turbo diesel to my 197 and it took me a few weeks to change the way I drove it. I would get exactly the same symptoms with it dying when pulling off etc, I've found it just needs a few more...

Have you tried somewhere like eurocarparts or a local motor factors? Probably going to be cheaper there.

I'd get them from Renault mate, there's a guy on here isn't there? Check the traders section. My experience of pattern wishbones and bushes is that they are usually worse than the old ones you take off!

I believe the wishbones are different on the 172 cups, they are designed to give a bit more caster.

Take it to a garage and never touch it again! If you can't change an interior bulb without damaging something, you really shouldn't be let loose on anything else! nah just kidding, something must have shorted out, have you checked all the fuses etc? it also sounds like the interior light...

The nose of the car is in a grey colour instead of gloss black, I think the rear diffuser got the same horrid treatment also (and maybe some interior parts) Of course it's just my opinion, and you may actually like it!
