I'm back in a clio! Used to have a silver 197 which I lowered on h&r springs, put a miltek cat back system on, ITG panel filter, remapped and refurbed the alloys in gun metal which cost me over a grand then sold it to buy a family members modified subaru impreza which was running 350bhp and was...

Done a bit of research and can't find a definitive answer. Since ive had a milltek cat back exhaust got a massive flat spot at 2500rpm. Already had it remapped before the exhaust a while back but obviously need a new remap now. Where's the best place to take it and should I get it live mapped...

Had my milltek non resonated cat back exhaust fitted today on my 197 and I read there was going to be a more noticeable flat spot but it's actually awful. At 2500rpm there is basically no power which makes it horrible to drive. It's already been remapped because I didn't know I was going to get...

My mate has recently bought a 172 cup and the hazard warning switch doesn't work. He must have left the switch to the on position but they wernt flashing and walked to work. When he came home the hazards were flashing because they obviously decided to come on. However when he tried to start it...

Been driving like an absolute grandad in my 197 since i last filled the tank up and reset the mpg but cant get above 22.5mpg thats driving to work and back mainly on 30/40mph roads. Is everyone elses this bad? It was on 20mpg before so driving like a grandad has only increased it by 2.5. Only...

After a bit of research it seemed the ITG panel filter was the best air intake upgrade to get for the 197 including panel filters and induction kits so I purchased and installed. Definately made a difference to responsiveness and sounds a little nicer. I then had it remapped yesterday and...

Seen a video of a k&n apollo and it sounded very nice so tempted by that but have read that it makes the car lose power? I want some noise so i'd rather an induction kit than just a panel filter but whats better?

Had my 197 looked at today and the exhaust manifold is blowing. Getting it repaired under the warranty next week as I've only had it 2 months. The mechanic is going to weld it, will this be ok or will it eventually start to blow again? Should I demand a new manifold? The only thing is the...

Got a 3 month waranty from the garage I got my Clio 197 from and tommorow i'm having it looked at because the exhaust is blowing and the suspension is knocking already after only 2 months of having the car. Only problem is the warranty says it only covers engine and gearbox components, and...

Got a 197 about 2 months ago now and already have a few issues. It's got a 3 month warranty so I am going to give the garage a ring tomorrow to see if they will sort the problems. Just wondering if anyone knows what the problems could be so I know what i'm saying when I ring the garage. 1...

My Clio 197 has the normal yellowish headlights. Can I just buy some xenon bulbs like these and will they fit...

The past couple mornings when I lift the clutch to pull away after taking handbrake off it doesn't wanna go like the handbrake is stuck on even though its fully off. I have to rev it then it makes a clunking sound and then I'm free. Only does it when the cars been standing for hours/overnight...

Recently got a 197 and love it! Apart from it drinks! Can people post pics of theres in here so I can get some ideas even if its just lowered of different alloys or whatever. Thinking of getting mine lowered and spacers and getting the alloys refurbed and in gun metal grey. Also an induction...

Hello all picked up my 197 yesterday and love it! Just wondering if its worth getting a remap? I know it wont see huge gains but will it make it a bit more responsive and lively? And what sort of bhp gains would I see? Also whats the best induction kit to get? And whats the best product to...

Used to have a dci 100 which was a very good car for the past 2 years, VERY cheap to run but always wanted a sport and have finally got one :) Don't pick it up till Saturday though and cant wait! Took it for a test drive and its so much fun to drive compared to the tractor dci and it sounds...

Does anyone else think this game is crap? I have enjoyed all the other need for speeds especially Hot Pursuit but this one seems awful. I keep crashing like 50 times in one race which is really annoying. The steering is sometimes really responsive and sometimes not, therefore keep crashing...

Took the clio dci to get suspension looked at and was told it was the hydraulic engine mount. Need to get the part myself and then he wil replace it. Anyone know where I can get one? Cant find it for the life of me

Anyone ever had this done and is it worth it? I am thinking of getting it done as my windscreen demisters just mist the screen up more for a while until it finally clears it. Turn them on and it just blows out a load more mist and makes it 10x worse. Never heard of an air con recharge before...

My dci has been smoking alot recently, mainly when putting foot down ALOT of smoke would come out. And sometimes just driving along normally a load of smoke would come out. But yesterday whilst driving along at 35mph in 4th without putting foot down LOADS of smoke starting coming out, and I had...

Recently my Clio dci mk2 will wheel spin very easy in the wet. And sometimes in the dry. I only have budget tyres but they are normally ok. It does it mainly if I drive over a drain cover whilst accelerating. And not accelerating too hard either. Also there is a particular drain cover that I...

Hi, my steering wheel is pulling slightly to the left when braking and sometimes when accelerating. Also I have noticed when traveling at around 30mph with the windows down I can hear a slight squeaky/whistly noise, coming from the front left wheel. Any ideas? Cheers, Shane.

Seen this and felt I needed to share what I viewed, enjoy: http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201222474019649/sort/pricedesc/usedcars/model/458/make/ferrari/page/1/postcode/ex13nx/radius/1501?logcode=p I'm in love

Recently the car has been hesitating to accelerate a little when I accelerate. For example the other day I put my foot to the floor in 2nd and there was NO power for around 2-3 seconds (around 2000rpm) before it starting pulling. Last night driving home from work it was accelerating very...

Hi all, has anyone used electronicworldtv.co.uk before? They sell graded stock TV's (new tv's but might have damaged packaging etc) and they are ALOT cheaper than most currys/comet/amazon etc. Just wondering if they are reliable?

Anyone got this TV? http://www.richersounds.com/product/plasma-tv/samsung/ps43e490/sams-ps43e490b1 1. Is it good? 2. Will freeview HD work with the normal aerial? 3. Is it worth getting 3D? :) Oh.. And what's it like for gaming? As plasma is supposed to be the best for gaming.

A family members laptop needs a new hard drive as Windows loads REALLY slowly and then a couple error messages appear saying the hard drive is 'screwed'. If we bought a new hard drive how would I transfer Windows 7 from the old hard drive to the new one? Otherwise the new hard drive wont have...

Recently subscribed to Netflix and I want to stream the films through the laptop then connect to the TV. What cables will I need to send the picture and audio to the tv from the lappy? A VGA cable will only send through the picture and not sound so I'm a bit baffled. Any help much appreciated :)

I think I need new front top mounts, they are all white and crusty. I don't know anything about top mounts so looking for some advice. Are there uprated ones I could get or shall I just get new standard ones? How much will I be looking at for 2 front ones? And how much will it cost to get...
