I was kindly invited along to the Bo'ness car show where Renomotive had a stand. Weather wasn't ideal but loved being up close again to cars I genuinely love i.e. Mk2 Clio's! Some photos -

Not having much luck here. All back together but now revs are staying high once the throttle is blipped it's starts revving up and down. What have I done!? I've checked all the wiring to make sure it's all plugged in.

I think I must be in the minority but I like the old school look of the Ph1 rear lights. Managed to get it off. Was being impatient. Guessing this doesn't look bad? It has cut out on me a few times recently. Starts fine when under any pressure, slight hill it judders/struggles for power...

How on earth do I get the cylinder head cover removed, it moves as all bolts as far as I can see are out but it's just not coming away from the throttle body which is what I want to check.

Let me know if going in the future. Think every last Sunday of the month. The bus museum is pretty cool and you get a cheap cuppa.

Two legends. Thanks @Mcaff for picking up a standard Mk2 spoiler from down South and dropping it off! Also @Matt Cup that radio code worked 👍👍

Hmm I'd have tried but it's just beeping and not letting me put any numbers in :/

Can anybody help get a radio code please? I also got along to a local car meet called shite in the park. Didn't get many pictures as it started chucking it down. I also had some spare Ph1 mats in the V6 so stuck them in. Just fronts unfortunately.

The Saab sold this morning. Was genuinely gutted I've loved it's space, power, comfort. It will be missed. I won't miss the road tax and fairly terrible fuel consumption. I'd say it's worse than the V6. Sadly didn't get as much as I'd hoped but think the car market in general is in a dip...

Really don't need another car but I've never owned a 197. For sale locally hoping to have a look. Any thoughts welcome? 197 Cup, silver 08 plate <80kmiles No MOT, failures were Front brake pipe Rear brakes Front lower ball joint Rear shock Parking brake - assume cable. Maybe. Up for £2.8k...

Now seen a Blue one in person and I really like it. I think being a daily/run about I like that it's a bit understated.

Hello....

Are the track rod ends hard to get hold of?

I've just seen that Eibach are doing lowering springs and spacers for the 5. Love it!

Thanks! Both look great, good to know about ride albeit I've only drive this about 12 miles since I bought it 😂

I don't see why it wouldn't. I have a feeling this is also on a Megane. Believe the in thing is a Skoda splitter, recall doing that back in the day. I bought these of Facebook this evening 😅 is Amax and Apex the same thing? Brand new, £20. Not bad.

Didn't realise you had this. Nice! I'd say silver for the wheels. Look forward to the updates.

I'm afraid no exciting updates. It's sat in the carcoon since my last post very stupidly on no charge. So dead battery. That has now been replaced with a decent Bosch with good amps. Fired straight into life. Do wonder if the starting issues before were maybe the battery. Bosch before but it...

I had a test drive earlier, didn't leave thinking oh wow - it was okay. The re gen on the braking I think would take a while to get used to but you can just knock it into drive which removes this. Turning circle is impressive. Also was a little quicker than I expected. Interior is really nice...

I'm test driving on Friday all going well. Sadly not 4hrs and likely someone talking nonsense beside me but shall report back any other thoughts. When I went in at the weekend they had mentioned I was the third person to come in that day asking about the 5. Putting my Scottish tight cap on I...

I'd be interested in finding out how going into a tight space is, Autotrader had this in a review where i think going from drive to park joults the car. If you fancy doing a tip run I'd also appreciate that 😅 believe a tow ball is an option. We also need to find out about this baguette...

That photo I have taken is cr ap. Look good in person and comfy. The green block on the reg plate is that a requirement now for ULEZ, I'm guessing or can you have a normal plate?

Hoping to get a test drive tomorrow, possibly Tuesday. Usual cheesy video already in from the dealer. The two below are in the Edinburgh garage. I'd go midnight blue but would like to see one in person. I think the 'yellow' seats may work. Personally prefer the alloys on the higher spec...

Just came of the roundabout by the BP Garage. Looked like the rear bumper was a different colour but other nice seeing one!

Love this thread already. My very first car was a 1.2 16v Billabong minus the climate control. Also brilliant it has been kept in the family for so long. Look forward to keeping up to date on this one.

Red 200 Must have been around 7pm. I was behind you when you beeped at the cyclist 😅 to be fair terrible road to cycle on when the pavement exists.

Haha noted. I genuinely love just jumping in it and how simple it all is. Smells great aswell 😅 Was also trying to get some retro plates made for it. Need to chase that up.

Not a huge amount to report @Martin_172 . I met @Stu. from Renomotive. What a set up. So I picked up a rear boot lock, door handles and a dashboard. I'm putting the one from this car onto my V6 then the one from Stu onto this. The one on V6 was just way to sticky, think it's the cleaning...
