Yea, expensive! I wouldnt mind so much if the alloys werent crap to begin with..I've never seen alloys that come out so much in the middle - as if they were designed for crap drivers to scratch on high kerbs!

Yea that was my first call, £167+Vat I believe....hence trying to find a decent second hand one!

Hi all, I took my beloved 197 to the garage last week to see if I can get some speed wobble sorted, however after looking at it they said my front offside wheel has got a flat spot where I've hit a pot hole (grrrr), so I need a new one. Any ideas where I can pick up an ok second hand wheel...

Great stuff, I spoke to the chap at the garage today and he said hes going to get back to me tomorrow. If they start to be a pain I'll use it straight away. Thanks all

Hi all, the side of my drivers seat near the door is faded and wearing fairly badly from where the previous owner used to get in and out, I've tried to be more careful when getting in but it still seems to be getting worse. Has anyone else suffered the same problem? Thanks btk

Hi all, for anyone whos got the cabasse 6CD stereo, if you want to install an aux lead for your ipod/sat nav I've got the solution! I created this instructable yesterday while I was installing it in my car. http://www.instructables.com/id/Aux-cable-installation-for-a-Cabasse-Auditorium-6C/...

Hiya Ive got a 197 but with the upgraded cabasse auditorium sound system, i think thats whats causing the issue. Ive just had a look and the main headunit/amp is actually under the drivers seat, it seems that all of the normal ISO connectors are based there

Hiya, I've just looked into this more and it seems that on the 6CD unit the 'head unit' is actually just a control unit with the cd changer, the actual stereo is located under the passenger seat, hence the lack of ISO connectors in behind the 'head unit'. Im going to have a poke around, but has...

Brilliant stuff! Many thanks

Its a single normal stereo (din?) size slot, i was just wondering how/if they manage to squeeze a full 6 cd autochanger inside it?!

Great, thanks for the quick suppy! That must be one tight headunit to fit in 6CD's all into that space! Cheers Will

Hi all, this is my second new thread (apologies!), but its a different subject to my other one and Ive already looked for the answer! I've got a 197 and I need to fit my tomtom 510, however the front of the car seems to be very tightly sealed so its looking like its going to be a job to...

Hi all, I've just picked up my newtome 197 which has got the 6CD cabasse stereo, but I'd like to change the head unit to be a kenwood DAB unit, however before I start pulling things out does anyone know: 1. Is the cabasse 6cd head unit normal size? Or do I need to pull off the entire console...

Just got another quick question or two: 1. I need to fit in a tomtom and hide the wires down the right hand side of the dash, are there any things i need to be careful with when poking around back there? 2. Ive got the upgraded cabasse 6CD unit which I want to replace with my decent DAB head...

Picked it up last night, 100% made the right decision - it goes like the stink! :)

Taylor, THANKYOU! Thats the kick I needed! 197 here we go :)

I think i could probably wangle the deposit back and get a more normal clio. Whats your call on the petrol on them? Thanks for the quick replies!

Hi all, I'm about to go and pick up my new 197 (18k miles, 06 plate, cabasse stereo, upgraded lights - £11k), which I looked at on NYE and put my deposit down. The only thing is this morning I'm getting a serious bout of the sensible blues....should I complete the deal or go sensible?! I live...
