Time to change my pads - was at Renault y'day so thought I'd ask out of interest 355£ - don't really need to say anything else on that! So now I'm looking into ordering from else where - I can get full set of EBC Redstuff for 155£. Has anyone used these or can anyone reccomend alternatives? I...

Noticed recently that 1st to 2nd often crunches at higher revs, noticed it when pulling out off toll booth on m6 hoping this is just my unsympathetic driving style. All other gears are absolutely fine and I know 3rd to 4th can be a sign of bad things but mines spot on. Also saw that early 197s...

Been thinking of getting one for some time now but have read mixed reviews on 197.net anyone on here use them? and what's yours been like?

Thinking of getting wind deflectors for my 197 has anyone done this and have a photo??? Also has anyone got tinted backlights - the glossy 'professional looking' ones seen a few DIY Matt black sprayed ones n they look tosh

Driving home from work Friday afternoon and pulling off roundabouts at higher revs noticed big power losses - decided (stupidly) to stop and turn it off/on again as in my old car this reset 'limp mode' however once turned off wouldnt start again! Currently awaiting diagnostics from Renault - I...

Just booked my wheels in to be powder coated in a weeks time - all four rims have tyre pressure sensors on them is it difficult to take these off? and is it liekly to throw up any warning lights when they're re fitted?

I've developed a rattle 'in' the passenger side seat. it's coming from behind the balnking cover that preumably is there to cover the area where the air bag would sit (if it was on the other side of the car). Has anyone taken this off, how difficult is it to do? (without breaking anyhting)...

white 07 plate 197 cup in the Bentley car park this morning! make sure you don't try to unlock mine tonight by mistake! :P

Bought this the other day for my clioIII 09 plate. It fits OK into the socket next to the one for steering wheel ctrls, my cd player is the update list one but has no AUX option on the menu and so I can't get the music to play via the cable. Is there something I'm missing or is it just a case of...

had a mini convoy with a black 60 plate 200 from Barnsley right over the peaks towards manchester- seen you twice now on that run! Nice car :)

Just curious... I have an 09 plate 197 cup - I know they introduced the 200 in 09 so it must be one of the last ones - is there a way to find how just how close to the last one it was?

Boot catch has been playing up terribly (popping open everytime I unlock the car) it's been happening since removing the item in the photo - which is a sort of sticky back plastic thing that was attached to the front face of the boot catch just hidden by the trim panel. It was poking out one day...

Scratched the silver bits and decided they could do with a bit of a freshen-up, tried carbon wrap but looked a bit halfords so decided on white to match ext paint pretty happy with the outcome what do people think?? ​

So the boot catch was rattling a month or so ago so I decided to move the catch back slightly to tighten things up - problem solved - or so I thought! Now instead of a rattle every time I unlock the car the boot pops open! :S Tried moving the catch back to where it was to no avail - anyone...

Few nice photo's my mate took for me at the weekend...

Have annoyed myself today by scratching the passenger dash insert whilst putting away the satnav - this is the second scratch on the silver insert now :( decided because the paint scratches so easily to paint/change it. Just wondered what kind of ideas people have - I'm toying with carbon wrap...

As title; I know they're shaped slightly differently but do they still fit?

Can anyone tell me what the differences are please? I've heard various things; the 200 is 15% stiffer on the cup and 15% softer on the non cup, the 200 is a straight 30% stiffer and that they're identical :S

Sure this may have popped up before but I struggled to find it so this may help some people; Had my 197 for about 3 weeks really happy with it apart from one annoying rattle coming from the boot which has been bugging me since buying it! Found it tonight - turns out its the boot catch rattling...

My drivin buddy can't make Sunday anymore - is anyone driving up from the crewe area? I have no friends!:dapprove:

Cleaning up my ITG panel filter - I understand that oil is kind've important in that it's not just any old oil however I already have the oil - Can anyone tell me is it really worth spending ~£20 getting the ITG cleaner or can this simply be done with washing up liquid and other house hold...

Thinking of putting an after market HU in the car - I have an apline one which is pretty decent from my last car but the front looks a bit dated and I don't really want it in my new car! Is it possible to get fascia panels from newer models and use these? or are the unique to the unit? Thanks!

I've just bought one of the last 197's that was made and stunning it is! However I keep hearing the same question why that and why not a 200??? Simple - I think the 197 has a MUCH better looking front! I can't help but think the 200 looks a little plasticy and geeky and the front - but hey...

Does anyone know a good alternative to Haynes manuals for RS cars in particular the 197/200. I almost bought one today for the clio bit looked through and it doesn't cover the 2.0 versions.

Just bought a clio197 having come from an Ibiza FR TDI and did my first long journey last night. Now moving from something with near 300lbft to something with 160 has caught me a little off guard in some situations! Mainly having to change down gears to get going properly. I thought i had gotten...

So tonight I'm endeavouring on a 400m round trip - Crewe to Essex and back. The first real drive I've done since buying my CS197C, brimmed it with BP Ultimate so we'll see how that fares. Sad but kinda excited about it couple of things; Hopefully my (Cheapo Ebay) bulbs don't go out on the way...

Could anyone tell me how difficult it is to run a small (hopefully underseat) active sub off the standard CS197 update list HU? I have a decent alpine HU from my old car with sub ctrl but I really want to keep my new one standard (hence the underseat sub instead of boot beast!) Also has anyone...

Thanks to the useful guides on CS.net - done with out taking bumpers etc. off althought my knuckles & wrists are in worst state than when I started!

Could anyone explain to me the difference between these two adaptors please? Other than 20£! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RENAULT-CLIO-AUX-MP3-iPOD-iPHONE-3-5mm-INPUT-ADAPTOR-LEAD-2005-2011-models-/140896754370?pt=UK_In_Car_Technology&hash=item20ce19dac2&_uhb=1...
