Hi guys, Martin here. I haven't posted on here in a long time but I'd appreciate your thoughts on the following cars which I'm considering buying to use as a second car and as a bit of an investment. I'd be grateful for your views on the price vs everything we know from the adverts and from...

Had my car serviced last week with no problems. Was driving yesterday with my radio on no probs and stopped off somewhere. When I returned and started the car 'CODE' was flashing on my screen where the radio station or CD track number would be displayed and I can now use neither. My problem is...

Haven't been around for a while but Merry Chrsitmas to you all! I still have my 197 and I am seriously considering buying the following car: http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/1227589.htm I would be grateful for your thoughts on the price and whether or not I should be concerned about buying...

Parked up today. I was there with my school - was a good day - sea lion show was great. Think I saw a Blair Drummond fleece in the car - an employee perhaps? Martin

Hi, I have insurance on my 197 through elephant but they won't insure me on my father's car. I actually didn't realise that if I get insured on my 197 through another company, I'll ionly have 3rd party insurance if I drive another car. Is there any way I can get insured on my own car whilst...

Got my car back from dealers who fixed a window seal and broken seat under warranty. However, last two nights ago when I started the engine, the boot opened. This happened twice but I thought I must've pressed the button on my key card. It's happening most times now but doesn't happen every...

Had a walk around Motorpoint and saw a nice RX8 priced at £10k with 11000 miles on the clock. They valued my car, which I bought from them, at £7k. Bought it on HP in April 2007 for £14k I think it was. Thought that valuation was quite low myself but hey ho, buying new is a killer lol Martin

Need to replace my two front tyres asap...anyone able to get me them or similar at a discount rate? Cheapest I can see fitted is at Kwik Fit...£116 each. Pm me or post up if you can get me a pair cheeper. Cheers, Martin

sliding on ice which covered most of Scotland. Who wants to own up? LOL Martin

My 197's now due service number two having covered iro 22k miles. I had service one done last year at Parks Hamilton who charged me £135 for the job which was the best by far - different story this year though. I called Arnold Clark (who I wouldn't let near the car) on Pollokshaws road for a...

Official RS polo shirt earlier in the week - couldn't see an RS outside - anyone on here?

on here?

Clayed, polished and waxed the 197 today on what has been arguably one of Glasgow's best days of the summer, weather-wise thus far. Enjoy: Martin

Was just heading home when I saw what looked like a red 197 driving along Carrick Drive - I was going up the hill and slowed to down to double check - car looked shiny - I'm guessing it was you?

In a couple of weeks I intend to give my fiance's black clio a full detail. The car's metallic black and there are a lot of scratches visable. What is the best product you can recommend which will rejuvinate the paint and help it to look as good as new? Cheers, Martin

heading home last night and heard a 'ping' at my back. Turns out the support mechanism (controlled by the plastic knob on the side of the seat) is gubbed. The whole seat back just feels spongy now and the knob isn't catching when I twist it. Managed to put the seat all the way back and get my...

Ok, in the face of much slagging and light-hearted abuse over on Renault Sport I decided to put my 197 into an official dealer for it's 12k mile service and not Kwik Fit :D The dealer in question was Parks Renault in Hamilton and my experience has been very positive. This dealer does servicing...

Taking my 197 in for its 12k service tomorrow at an official dealer and am a bit para at getting it back damaged (you hear so many horror stories these days). What I'm wondering is, is it over the top to request that someone inspects my car with me to confirm it has no scratches/dents etc before...

197 ended with MLV and blue cup ended with INK anyone?

Mount Vernon on Sunday at around 11.45am. Looked good. Anyone's? Martin

Yesterday at lunchtime. Anyone off here? Martin

Tomorrow's the big day guys - finally pick up my new Nimbus 197 tomorrow. Really excited but determined not to rag the **** of her right away. I'm going to try and run her in for the first 600 or so miles and then open her up. Got my reg today - FP07 - I'm guessing that it was registered in...

Finally took the plunge and ordered a 197 in red with xenons, tyre pressure monitor, electric folding mirrirs and tints. Should be around 5 weeks before I get my hands on her but should be worth the wait. The looks are still growing on me but I loved the test drive and found the car to be more...
