Spotted twice this week driving down Kingsthorpe Road in Northampton.
Has to be the most apocalyptically sh*t, horrendous looking excuse for a car ever. The owner (indian looking bloke) had put two tail pipes at the back like a 182 and it was quite obvious from seeing it in motion one was a...
Hi there,
I'm toying with the idea of removing the centre silencer of my 197 for a little extra volume ( awaiting "chav" comments )
However, I'm just weighing up the pro's and con's to performance loss with doing this? A friend of mine did this to his Vauxhall and said he suffered horrible...
- Modified 200 on the A45, pulled off at Earls Barton junction. Spotted yesterday morning about 8:00am.
- Blue 200 on the A45 heading towards Northampton this morning.
- White 197 Cup. Parked up on Clarence Avenue - absolutely mint!
- White 197 - Harborough Rd, Kingsthorpe - Yesterday...
Hi guys,
Servicing light has just came on and said service due now.
How many miles until the car goes into limp mode? As I cant afford to get it done until another month ( 1,000 miles ).

Spotted this morning just off Kingsthorpe Rd in Northampton. Had a for sale sticker in the window.
Unfortunately didn't get a chance to get a pic.. full on "halfords special" body kit, curbed to f*ck alloy wheels and stickers everywhere. Including a tow one I believe at the front.
Just wondered if anyone could have any suggestions for a squeaking noise what appears whilst accelerating at low speed?
A couple of friends I've asked seem to think cambelt.. however the car is an 08 with only 25,000 miles on the clock. I know belts wear away with age, but I don't think this...
How would people feel about a Northampton meet maybe in a few weeks?
Few disappointing turn out's of recent, it'd be great to have a few meets down here properly!
Haven't done so as of yet, so just thought I'd post a few pictures of my 197. Since having the car I've replaced the black wheels shown below, with a brand spanking set of anthracite ones. The interior trims were in a state when I got the car, with the previous owner clearly not taking any pride...
I've only had my 197 for 2 months but already am toying with the idea of replacing the exhaust system with something louder and what will sharpen the throttle response that little more.
I'm not a big fan of super loud stuff, I'd love a Yozzasport, but think that'd be a bit overboard on what...
2 weeks ago I had my interior trims removed and fitted which in turn, meant I needed the radio taking out briefly while the centre console casing was sprayed.
My girlfriend was in the back yesterday only to tell me she couldn't hear the music coming from the rear speakers, after spending the...
