Well after owning my 2007 Clio 197 for just over a year the time has come to part ways. It's a fantastic car when your in the mood but my commute has increased and it's just bleeding money on fuel. Plus with the age it's at now I just worry about how reliable it's going to be going forward...

Noticed a noise on my Clio the other day. When cruising at speed, say 60/70mph there is a slight bearing type noise that goes if you press the clutch in. Not sure how long it's been there as I usually have music on and I've only noticed it recently because my commute has changed and I'm spending...

I have been looking at these lately, with an upcoming house purchase I’m going through all my spending and sadly the 197 does seem to suck up quite a bit of money in fuel, tax and insurance. I have worked out that by part exchanging or selling the Clio and getting a Leaf I will save round about...

Done 250miles+ in the Clio in this weekend with the cracking weather :w00t: You can forgive all it's faults and niggles when you take it on some good tarmac, listen to the tune of the exhaust and revs of the engine. I've owned quite a few hot hatches and this is by far one of the most fun and...

First proper pictures of the Clio I've taken since getting her 6-7 months ago. Fairly standard example bar a Milltek exhaust and a few other little bits.

Had a little play with one of these today between some roundabouts up through second and third gears, roughly 30-70mph. Not much in it at all! Expected the ST to start pulling away with the extra torque but it didn't really. Very impressed that my going on 9 year old 197 can keep pace with some...

Seen a Clio 197 in Numbus silver going down the A59 past Clitheroe McDonalds and turning into Chatburn yesterday evening. Think it was a 56 plate. Also seen a red 200 knocking about in the same area. Anyone's on here?

My Clio has the Cabasse Auditorium with the bulk of the unit under the drivers seat, along with the wires. Are there any kits out there that allow you to fit an aftermarket head unit into the dash in place of the built in CD changer or is it a case of extending the wires yourself? I'm missing...

How hard are the pivot/ball joints to replace on the hub carrier, is it do-able DIY? I've done things like bushes, struts, springs before on other cars so am a pretty handy DIY mechanic, but I don't have access to a press. Looking at it, the old ones can probably be drilled out if needs be but...

Hi People, Anyone know if my Clio 197 used to be someones on here? Bought it last weekend and trying to trace some service history on it. ST07 GOP - Nimbus Silver with a Milltek exhaust and K&N panel. Was from the Kirkcaldy area most of it's life looking at the history I've got. Been ringing...

Hi people, Just recently got myself a nice tidy Clio 197 today, shame the weather is absolutely horrific where I am at the moment. Was wondering if it's anyone's old one on here or anyone knows of it? The reg starts ST07 and it's silver. Has a Milltek exhaust from what I can tell and it's...
