197

Strange one. So my brothers got a 197. He bought it from a dealer without me taking a look witg him, he's kind of a spare of the moment guy. The deal was they done a cambelt and water pump, I know it's been done as the parts are in the boot. Any way it makes this noise once warm if not driven...

Hi guys, nicola again sorry if this appears a stupid thread but ive got no one else to ask since im trying to keep this secret until my hubbies birthday. so the search continues for my hubbys bday present, found a clio 17 today super cheap since theres a crunch going from 2nd to 3rd and no...

Bored sat in the kids play center, and was wondering about the calipers on my track 172 and I know the Brembo's limit wheel choice but are they much better than the Wilwood calipers and do they (the wilwood) also limit what wheels you can run or do they fit under 15" without a problem? I have...

Saw this lovely 197 with a bike rack in the car park at centre parcs longleat. Sorry about the bad photo. Was a drive by shot lol.

As titled spotted yesterday around 745pm you pulled up by the side of me and revved up anyone on here?

I was on a track day at the weekend, car ( 07 197 cup) and gearbox going great until I came into the pits. Went to put the car into second gear only to find second gear is now 4th gear! Tried first gear, it goes in but it is now 3rd gear! I manage to get back to the car park, park the car up for...

Hi guys ive been in the market for a nice clio for my hubby and today i saw a really nice clio 197 but on test drive i noticed one time the gearbox crunched going from 2nd to 3rd and ive read the horror stories about earlier 197 gearboxes so im wondering would anybody be able to give me a rough...

At the Police Station (Working on the rebuild?) A** TGT or similar?

Spotted a black 197 heading towards Cameron Toll on Newington Road at 7:25am. Didn't catch the full reg but it pretty sure it was a '57 plate.

Hi guys, im looking for a nice little man car for my hubby, as a surprise for his birthday and i know back in the day he LOVED his renault 5 gt turbo so i thought id get him another Renault but i admit i don't know much about them. I like to know first off whats the interior built quality like...

Hi guys. I am having an issue with my 197, where the car will not accelerate properly sometimes, and is really down on power. I had a fault coder for knock sensor so I changed that anyway, but I've also recently changed the plugs and coils as well as the cam sensor but none of this has cured...

Spotted a white 197 cup parked in front of me at the Eskbank train station car park around 1:50pm. Reg was FP08 FWD.

Was a very tidy looking car not sure if it had a CS sticker or not

Is this a straight forward swap ? As love the look of the 200 one Thanks

Locked up behind fencing, near Minehead!

Went to look at a Clio 197 for the other half today. Overall it seemed pretty tidy - high number of owners but it seems to have been serviced at main dealers it's whole life, including the cambelt 2 years, 7k miles ago. There were two issues that bugged me, though. 1. The exhaust seemed to...

Hi can any one give me some advice on what exhaust system to buy?! Theres soooo many to pick from... What a decat pipe fail an MOT? Would a sport cat back fail? Whats best price and best full exhaust system that would pass MOT and sound banging? Thanks

Spotted a red 197 this morning on London Road in Edinburgh this morning around 7:35am heading towards Meadowbank. Reg started SA08 ***.

Hi all, new to forums, Have googled around and had a browse on here but with no success (on phone at the moment) I have a small leak/blockage on the rear passenger side corner. I can only believe this to be coming from the non mobile section of the sunroof and as a result has left a slight...

Keep seeing this car every morning on the M4 eastbound towards Reading. Anyone off here? Im in a petrol blue 182 BTW.

Partly thinking out loud here and I've been trying to put off posting this, but the more I think about it, the less I think the 197/200 works as a daily driver. Think for a second that you're not an enthusiast... Or even that you're not in the mood to drive the car like a massive yob (for a...

stuck a deposit down on this today, pick it up after the weekend once a wee ding has been taken out the door, a scuff on the rear bumper and a tear in the recaro repaired (not quite sure how this is going to be done/look!!) came from a main dealer, belts done late 2013 :)

Assume the household is a fan of rs Renaults! Working nearby and see the cars. Both look nice. Looks like a gordini twingo.

As per title, does anyone know where to get some stainless steel banjo bolts to fit Clio 197/Megane 225 Brembo calipers? If it makes a difference (I don't think it does), they are for braided lines on a 182 to the brembo 4 pot calipers. or Does anyone know the size needed, so I can buy some...

As above, need to know the size as the thread is striped and i need to repair it. i believe they're m10x1.0 but need a confirmation on this :) Thanks in advanced

Parked outside my neighbours house!

Hi Our 197 Clio Sport 197 suddenly developed an issue - the headlights will not turn off at all, unless you dis-connect the battery. When you re-connect the battery the lights are immediately on. The rotary stalk mounted light switch and auto-lights are all turned off. I have checked the...

Spotted a white 197 heading towards Princess Street on South Clerk Street yesterday at 5:40pm. Ref was FP08 FWD.

Hi guys I have question for you When the car's engine temp. was cold , there was a no problem but when the car's engine temp. was normal , the car was shaking between 2000 - 2500 rpm What do you think the problem could be ? Thanks

Spotted a blue 197 with cup spoiler heading east on Queen Street in Edinburgh at 7:50am this morning. Reg was ST08 JHE.
