    Clio (ish)

    So, I'm the enemy within. Well it's not french, but that can't be bad. I've grown up surrounded by vw's so now I've got one.

    Sorry folks

    The 197 is going. I'll leave it to you lot to buy it and take care of it, it's brilliant fun but its not really up to doing 15000 miles a year, so I'm getting a golf gti. With my experience with vw they are more dependable than the clio has been. The clio would make a brilliant toy but its not...

    clutch sticking

    Has anyone else had trouble with the clutch not fully disengaging when the pedal is pressed, as mine if you drive along and push the clutch in it doesn't idle, it sits at the revs it was driving at and still with the pedal in if you blip the throttle you can feel it trying to pull the car slightly.

    stubborn gearbox

    While the car is stationery the it goes into gear spot on, but on the move it's reluctant to come out or go into gear. It was ok this morning, but today I've been doing a track day. But the clutch and slave cylinder were only replaced in march after that gave up in Yorkshire.

    The engine turns over but won't start.

    It was happy yesterday, its done this before. Last time I disconnected the battery and re connected it and it fired up. It's disconnected again and I'm leaving it for a while. Seems strange though that all other non start problems I've read about seem to be starter motor related but my engine...

    check injection/check esp messages

    My car has started showing messages saying check injection and check esp. Once these messages have appeared it won't go over 3000rpm but if I switch it off then back on all is well, for a few minutes.

    fitting recaro seats from a f1 197 to my ff 197

    So what is involved in fitting them, is it just a couple of plugs and a few bolts or will I have to get creative to make them fit or to stop airbag lights. If so if you have already fitted them, please can I pick your brains? I'm going to pick some up on Friday.

    check injection and check esp

    Last night my car told me to check the injection and the esp and when it got to 3000 revs it died down to about 2500 then back to 3000 and so on. But if I switch it off then back on the problem goes away. Rs tuning did remap it on Wednesday but they seem to have a good reputation. Any ideas
