Nobody knows? Oh well. I guess I'm going to have to go searching for some original 197 alloys to use instead. :(

I'm planning on entering a few Gymkhanas / Autotests / Autosolos in the 197, but I think I'll be needing to get some spare wheels+tyres so I don't end up driving home on canvas. Does anyone know what (cheap) wheel options are available that have the right dimensions and will fit over the...

All sorted! With the new stat the temperature goes straight up to 75 degrees within the first couple of miles of my commute, then oscillates nicely between 70ish and 80ish as it carries on warming up. Should get myself an extra MPG or two with it not being in cold-start mode all the way to...

Thanks all! Been down to Platinum Renault in Bath today and have ordered a new stat (and some new rear disks to sort out my noisy rear wheel bearings). That'll be a fun job this weekend!

Took the long way home tonight and managed about 20 miles.. only just nudged 70 deg C on the move. Got home and left it idling for 10 mins and the temperature gradually warmed up to 80 ish. All signs point to the stat, I reckon'.

Sure, I'd expect a difference, but not as huge as this. My journey's about 8 miles of free-flowing NSL A/B roads, followed by a mile or two of inner-city traffic - usually taking about 20 minutes. I'm seeing the car get to 50/60 degrees within the first few miles, and then pretty much staying...

It was absolutely terrifying.. I'd got a call from one of their researchers a couple of hours earlier to say that the segment had made it in to the final edit, so I was manically trying to beef up the server to cope with the likely surge of visitors. The moment they read out the link on air I...

I've noticed the temperature gauge on my 197 rarely creeps above 1/4 - 1/3, so today I put some monitoring on it via the OBD port, and it seems the temperature's struggling to exceed about 65 degrees C. My commute's only 10 miles (ish), but I'd expect the car to get up to temperature in that...

Hi all, I bought myself a Clio 197 last November, and I think it's about time I actually joined a forum :) The car is a boggo 2007 model, totally standard as far as I can tell. So far all I've done to it is wire in a Belkin Aircast bluetooth hockey puck so I can listen to music from my iPhone...
