So happy we can now take our toys out for a non-essential drive. Contemplated possibly moving her on but after today's drive and these views, nah!

That’s fantastic, cheers for this ??. I’ve seen a complete unit (motor and wiper) on eBay so that should have all I need I guess?

Hi. I’ve recently got back into a 197 which has had the rear wiper deleted. Looks nice enough but ideally wanting to take it back to stock and put the wiper back on. I’ve had the rear panel off and the motor has been removed, just a wire of some sort which looks like it will just plug back in...

blatantly not the reply you are looking for but... iv got mine for sale too if your interested, not to far away from Manchester in Cheshire. Link to advert http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/2039780.htm cheers :)

wow, that sounds bad shorty. my car runs fine, just the error message. out of interest, what did you do with the old clio? did renault buy it off you?

will see what they come back with, if its more BS then i will. cheers guys

if its unrelated then it should be covered under the warranty

i hope so too stu, definatly not going to let it go until i know exactly what it was and how they fixed it and get my money back if its unrelated. Oink - the wiring was crap, i could see that from when it was on the ramps. Basically they had cut part of the wire and replaced with a new...

no its totally standard. payed by debit card unfortunately. they know how p*ssed off i am, also given someone at Renault UK an ear full but they say any issue is with the dealer and they trust the dealer to repair it to the expected standard, typical corp BS

im not happy no. the car is still with them now. yeh they did give me a bill with the detail, pretty much 50/50 with parts and labour from memory, dont have it with me now. I just trusted that it had been done as the light wasnt on, misplaced it seems. Can only wait to see what they come...

Its on all the time. i had the car on some ramps before i took it (while mulling over the price) and could see one of the wires running parralel to the exhault was corroded. Also couldnt see how far that had got so decided it was best to just let thme do it. As for the £500 im definatly...

My r27 is in with Stockport, originally took it in for "check emission" light. They said the wiring had been fixed "poorly" so wouldn’t be covered by the warranty (I’m the third owner, pitfalls of buying a used car) and for the honour of fixing to their standard it would be £500. After much...

07 plate, still under warranty so I thought it would just be repaired / replaced under warranty. But they think it’s been repaired before and it’s not on the Renault database so they can't do it under warranty, hence the £500+ quote. just seems excessive given the car runs perfectly fine...

Hi guys, The emissions warning light on my 197 has come on. Took the car to the dealer and they found a fault with the oxygen sensor and would need replacing but also the engine loom as it looks like it’s been repaired previously "poorly" in their words. Car runs perfectly fine but they are...

it does it everytime under hard acceleration when going into 3rd, and sometimes with 5th.

Afternoon, Just wanted to let people know of an unexpected result i got form Renault. Got my R27 a few months back now, love it but quickly noticed 3rd gear crunching under hard acceleration. Got round to taking it into the stealers last week, they replaced the gearbox oil and did a remap...

cheers again for the replies. have posted the car up on pistonheads so will see how i get on. link below just incase anyone is interested. http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/501856.htm

cheers for the comments. I was hoping for around £11K so will try something around that.

Hi all, Hope some of you can help... Due to a change in circumstances i am possibly looking to sell my 197 *sobs*. The trouble im having is there seems to be quite a range in price when searching autotrader, pistonheads and others. So, thought i would ask the best audience for an idea...

Hi all, i have been a forum user for the time i had my 172FF and got some great information in that time. I've now got a full membership to go along with my new nimbus 197. Picked it up last week and have had a permanent grin ever since :D. Dont get me wrong i loved my 172 but this 197 is a...

Cheers for that. I am also getting a value tomorrow from a dealer & im not expecting good news.

Hi all! I was wondering if anyone could give me any idea as to the value of my clio 172 / what you would be willing to pay. Details as follows: - 2002 (02 reg) - 40,000 miles - I am the second owner - Service History - Last done @ By Renault Manchester @ 32,000 miles - All belts changed by...
