I'm not suprised you didnt recoginise the car, last time it passed you it was a little faster ;)

And the Ph-ugly dash.

Thanks again guys, tbh i'm not bothered about lowering it and just wanted the improved cornering. Sounds like the Pro's then as i'd like to keep it a near as std as poss.

Cheers people. So sports are the firmer, more track focused of the 2?

Have i missed the sign up for infield parking and will you accept the info via email rather than printed and posted? Cheers

Vpower stickers lower the drag co-efficient too, using Maths (not many people are trained in Maths), the figure when calculused means you are actually running 227BPS-HP. Or so Jonny Ball said.

Nice and easy for the morning. Which ones for fast road and occasional track days/ring? Not bothered about drops

Could be time for new shocks. Nik and me were talking about this as i was complaining about the car starting to be really sketchy at higher speeds, he said his was the same as it got older and might need the rear shocks changing (he thought it would make more sense to change his for a Trophy...

Were they hot or cold readings? If you'd been out driving then took them, they would be higher.

The red stitching was out by about 3 inches to the right. £18k and they still cant put the steering wheels on straight

Thanks teacher. Calling it an A4 S4 could have meant it was either

A4 S-line? Not the same thing as an S4. Great cars though

If its had a front end crash and repaired off the record, it could have bent the chassis or sub frame. Where was it bought from?

Were you aware of the accident before you bought it?

Both faults are as common as jade goody.

From what people have said, i'd imagine its the baffles. I'll PM you as soon as i hear from the Garage.

The problem is the stiffer suspension and the mounts being made of gouda. Power bush or the equivolent should make a package that solve all the niggly little mounts and bushes.

Mines going in tommorrow for this. Also got the notorious 4k rattle. Lucky me. lol

Will we have to wait until the Mk5 clio for it to be worthy of the RS badge?

Were the NCB's protected?

Yup, but at 3-4k revs you still doing 65-70 in 6th, not a cruising gear.

You cant win against Renault. If you stop using the jack made of kitkat tinfoil, you'll bend the jacking points made of dairylea.

The extra 15hp is just to compensate for the weight, why would you release a new car to directly compete in performance terms with its supposed big brother? It seems to be intentionally slow, but it handles and stops better with more torque lower down.

Probably Vmax as it is in europe, 100ron fuel.

Given that the millionbillion fuel threads on here always turn out with 50% of people running the 1*2 on 95ron, even though the fillercap says 98, it would suggest 50% of 2nd hand 197's are going to be f*cked then.

Could do with an extra 30bhp with its feltz like weight to be an improvement over the 182. Handling was great, steering wasnt as bad and the idle/relays were quiet. Give it a few thousand miles of hard driving and it'll sound like a lifelong smoker coughing its lungs up.

Rob, was this at delta? My last 12/24k service there was £110. lol. You're better off buying Oil in bulk from someone like total butler and getting an ITG filter. £65 for 64lts of Elf Exhelium and £30 for an ITG seems to have all ready saved me £150ish.

I hate it, lurching everywhere for 5 minutes. You get used to it though, its worse when running the car on 95ron. Cant imagine what it must have been like for Oms on 91ron.

No, he really is. pMsl I dont remember his exact job title, but its something like Head/director of Marketing, Renault UK.

LOL, Jeremy is Mr Renault.
