I've got a vibration problem that's getting gradually worse - It basically feels like I'm driving with square wheels (they're not bent at all). I can feel vibration through the whole car - steering, seat and pedals at pretty much all speeds however it gets worse at higher speeds. At motorway...

General question and looking for some buyer experiences. I'm liking the sound of the 4 years warranty, servicing and 0% HP on a new 200 (standard not cup) but just wondered how much It would set me back? You used to be able to spec them up online but that functionality seems to have gone...

Hi guys, Got a small niggle with my 197 in that the clutch pedal is really quite stiff - makes your leg ache sometimes in traffic! Clutch operation itself is fine; no slipping and all gears engage fine - gear changes are a bit stiff and crunchy from cold but fine once warmed for a few minutes...

Need some thoughts, Having an issue with Vibration through the steering wheel. I can feel minor vibration when driving normally however when I get the car up to about 60-65mph the steering wheel starts to wobble. The wobble may go away at about 80-85mph ;), however I can still feel some...

Hi guys, Couple of questions: Seem to have developed a slight knock through the steering - when stationary and you turn the wheel through centre you can feel the knock through the floor and the wheel - it's also audible. If you hold the joint behind the brake pedal you can feel the knock...

Having some issue with the 197 - I'll start from the beginning: The first "symptom" was a clonk experienced when lifting off the accelerator when the car is cold. e.g - lift off depress to change and then clonk - sounds like its from the front end. This goes away when the car warms up. Started...

Someone tried to break into the 197 last night...b*stards...came out this morning and the trim surrounding the lock was missing, lock damaged and the handle sticking out. Luckily the handle pushed back in and the remote entry sensor and manual lock still work. No damage to the rest of the car...

Basically I need some new fronts and I'm looking at getting a pair of Hankook v12s rather than spending double the money on a new set of Conti's. Problem is the garage I usually use has the v12s in stock but only on a 91 y. I'm going to have these put on the rear axle but that means that I'll...

My brakes have felt somewhat 'spongy' for a while now so I assumed it needed new pads or fluid. Car went in for service about 3 weeks ago and both discs and pads were fine so obviously the fluid (or at least I thought). Just had the fluid changed today and it hasn't made hardly any...

Hi All, I can hear a slight whistling noise - a constant shhhhhhhh noise when driving. It almost sounds like rushing air tbh however it goes away when I depress the clutch. I can't hear it at all when you first start it up but after a mile or so it's there It's only a faint noise definitely...

Just for starters I own an 08 197 and recently I noticed a couple of problems emerging. 1) Knock from nearside when going over bumps - occurs when going over the other side of speed bumps or through dips in road - my first instinct was the shocks. 2) I can feel a knock through the...
