I meant to update this last Ocotber when I actually got the belts done but never got around to it. I ended up going to Falkland Performance, I don't think they had ever done a 197 but the price was good and I cant fault the service. Gets the thumbs up for me.
Cheers.
Hey all,
I would have posted this in the Trackday Forum but it wouldn't let me. Also I did search but couldn't find a real answer.
It's regarding tyre pressures for the 197 running on standard Contisport 3's. It'll be my first trackday in the 197 and will more than likely be in the rain...
I'm in Birmingham but the car is in Dundee :)
I work in Brum during the week and fly back up north every Friday for the weekend, hence Ness Motors in Perth!
Hey all,
The big belt service is due on the 197 at the end of October but the car is up for its spark plug service this month, I was thinking about killing two birds with one stone.
When I had the V6 I put it into Ness Motors in Perth. I couldn't fault the work but I always thought the price...
Thanks Adam,
Looks like it'll be this year then....I'll see what the local garages feel like charging me. Hopefully it wont be crazy money like the Vee was ;)
Hi guys,
I realise this will most likely have been asked a million times before, I did search but couldn't find a pertinent topic, hence the post. Apologies in advance.
I'm wondering if anyone can tell me the year change for the belt on a 197. On the V6 it was every 5 years, just wondering...
I passed a trophy on Saturday whilst out for a blat in dundee city center, the rear suspension looked shot to hell, was bouncing around like a moon buggy!
Yesterday (sunday) around 11 am. You were heading into Edinburgh and I was heading out. Gave you a nod but doubt you saw me :D
Looked better with the anthracite rather than the black nose imo.
Hey Paul,
Full advert for the Vee is here:

Thanks all, will try and get to the meet but work is a bit crazy at the minute so I am working all hours.
I know Brembo through the V6 forum, think its just bad timing as he's not looking for a V6 until the summer. Mind you, there's not been a huge amount of interest (couple of P/X offers) and...
Thanks for the welcomes and good luck with the test :)
Going to be sitting on the cash for a while and see whats available later on in the year.
Will miss the noise of starting the V6 up in the garage and burbbling out :)
Hi all,
Been lurking for a while so thought i'd say hi
Currently have a V6 but need to move it on sadly :(
Hope to see some of you out and about in Dundee (I have seen a few clios but nobody ever waves...sniff)
Here's some pics of the car so if it you seem me out and about feel free to...
Costs are a bit of a pig, on the plus side you'll have V6 handy when you want some entertainment :)
Tbh on the motorway they are very 'droney' and maneuvering around town is a bit of a b**ch.
Get one with the service done recently, new tyres fitted recently and new front discs fitted...
