Pretty sure you do this using the buttons on the wiper stalk (the trip computer buttons)
It'll probably be something like press and hold the button (move to the correct function first) for 10 seconds and it will reset.
I'll try and find the correct procedure now and post it up.
Oil
Oil Filter
Sump Washer
Air Filter
All depends on the intervals mate and what it's had done/when. You may want Brake fluid, coolant, fuel filter etc etc
Just a quick question...
Why are you having it done so early? The interval is 72k or 5 years. You are way off both of those. Seems a waste of money to me. I've not read of a single failure on the 197's personally.
Regular stuff is things like tyre pressures, tyre condition, oil level, coolant level - All weekly as far as I am concerned
Then you move onto your service schedule, stick to the mileage AND ages. If it says 12K or 1 year then it needs doing at whichever comes first (more regular won't hurt...
Definately this. I've used this on a number of occasions (no, i'm not a wheel theif!) Find a socket that doesn't quite fit over it (preferably one of the multi point ones, not just a hex shape, and a deep one, not short) smash it on and undo it.
Job done! (however, you'll probably want a vice...
But it's cheaper in virtually every other way, servicing, tyres, brakes, tax, insurance etc etc
Since when is MPG alone an indication of how cheap a car is to run?
I'm currently averaging only 26mpg! lol
That's the average off the trip computer over the last 2k miles. I didn't buy it to worry about getting high MPG!
Mines just about to hit 60k, and touch wood it's all ok.
Just usual wear and tear stuff really, couple of drop links, discs & pads, both front springs but other than that all is well. Things I would expect with any car of this age really considering the state of the UK roads!
If you're coming down the M1, you could meet some of us at Jct 27. We're leaving about 07:15

I've never owned a 1*2, but I think it would be a good move.
Your budget will get you a good one if you hold out for long enough. I picked up my R27 within that budget (ok, that was only becuse it needed a couple of tyres and service etc and the guy was going to australia for a year 2 days later)
I'll be there!
I'm on the clio197.net clubstand so i'm going to meet up wtih some of them at the Days Inn Donnington Hotel en route, just waiting to find out times from that lot too.
Hi all,
I've recently (6 weeks ago) bought a Clio 197 F1 team (R27) in Ultra Red. I'm from South Normanton in the East Midlands.
I'm already a member on clio197.net, but thought I would sign up over here too.
Here's my car
Looking forward to FCS this coming weekend, i'm on the club...
