Hi I can't see a thread that answers my question... Just bought a cup 172 and I'm needing a specialist for the belt change. Any recommendations other than the dealer in the Chesterfield area? Google isn't much help! Thanks in advance Gaz

Ive just been looking on youtube for 197's and R26's, and viewed both on fifth gear posts. The standard 197 lapped the same track as the R26 1.5 seconds slower. Over several laps thats quite a lot, but still thought it would be a lot slower due to suspension set up, bhp, and turbo. Wonder...

Ok, ive been with privilege insurance for the last 2 years and these years consisted of a 225 audi tt and now my 197. last years premium was £470 ish, this years renewal has gone up to £530 even though ive no claims or points. Ive just got a quote from tesco and they quoted me £328 with me,27...

I have no idea how ive done it, but my black 197 is covered in swirl and haze marks, i rinse the car well before washing, use 2 bucket method and microfibres, but my paintwork is gash. Its been super guarded and polished with meguiars 3 step polish. ive not really given it more than a wash in...

Has anyone had this done? if so, are there any noticeable reduction in 0-60, 0-100 times, and any improvement in economy? thanks

Im about to head off on a 300 mile round trip. Is pumping my tyres up to higher psi gonna make any difference to my fuel economy. Its all motorway and duel carriageway. And does cruise contol prove to be economical or not....any facts or opinions on a postcard....... thanks

Do miss my audi, it was a bad replacement for the 172, but it was still a gorgeous car to look at, shame they are a crap drive. Love my 197 though!!! http://i241.photobucket.com/albums/ff314/Gazz197/254.jpg http://i241.photobucket.com/albums/ff314/Gazz197/255.jpg...

http://www.renaultsport.co.uk/roadcars/clioaccessories/reartailpipetrims.asp would anyone bother with these do you think? or leave them as standard if not buying an after market exhaust?

With a tesco petrol station just down the road from me ive been running the 197 on its super unleaded 99RON for around 3 months now. I dont know whether I was kidding myslef but it did seem to pull better at low revs. Does anyone rate or hate this fuel, bearing in mind its 99.9p a litre.

Apologies if someone has already posted this,it should have only gone on their site today http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/carreviews/longtermtests/210136/renaultsport_clio.html

After Ive washed and dried the car, does anybody know of a good product that will suit the rear diffuser to keep it in top notch condition. Its starting to get dirty water marks round the exhaust pipes.

Has anyone had a remap done on a standard 197? If so did you have a before and after rr test? what are the bhp and torque gains, and what does it drive like after the remap. I have searched the threads, I have seen Paul Murray is the guy to do it, just wanting an honest un biased answer. Ta

DU52 P*V..........That used to be mine.....Get it washed!!!!!!

Ive only been a visitor on here for a short period of time, and I can gather that the opinion is that 197's are slower than 17 or 182's. Has anyone actually got any true stories of on the road or track where these cars have gone head to head? I suppose from owners of all 3 to get un biased...

Im new to all this so bear with me...... Ive had my 197 now for just over 3 months, Im now on 2.5k, and it still seems to run a bit lumpy, very jerky throughout the power band. Ive tried different petrols and confronted renault(why bother) to no avail. I had a 172,and yes it definately did...
