I'm not sure tbh, as far as i'm aware they have done no real diagnostic work to find out why the rear brakes arent working. The rear discs are slightly rusted even though they are only a year and a half old but he told me that wouldnt be the problem. No rear braking from either side. They told...

Hey guys, just had my cup fail MOT because of rear brakes not doing anything. Originally they thought it was because the load sensing actuating arm was missing but i showed them the vosa article and told them that they might want to try putting a cable tie on the valve. Anyway they did this and...

Thanks for the info guys, i will definitely check out Birchdown.

Hi guys, does anyone know how much it should be to replace the Cambelt non air con. I've had a couple f quotes already but they are pretty expensive. Renault quoted me something like £750 and a local garage nearer the £500 bracket.

Hi guyz, does anyone know how much a steering wheel for a 172 cup is , the rubber on mine has started to peel off and it looks rubbish. Thanks.

ye ill get some pics up tomorrow. Its because i just recently had a cat put back on it and the garage that did it didnt quite do it right and the exhaust is blowing on the joint causing my emissions light to come on or so Renault say.

Hi Guyz, ive had a yozza sport race exhaust on my clio cup now for quite a while. Ive been having some running problems with the car as of late, limp home mode etc and im pretty sure it has something to do with the exhaust. Recently i have been told my a couple of mechanics that the exhaust...

ye i did suspect it might be the lambda sensors, its just that ive spent around 2000 quid trying to get that one problem sorted at a quite reputable garage and if it is the lambda sensors i would be quite pissed because they should have checked that. They got me to buy a new throttle body for it...

Hey Fred, 2 reasons :) i had a yozza sport decat race system put on it a while ago and its just becoming a real problem at mot time, somehow my old cat had a crack in it the guy said it looked like someone did it with a saw + im hoping it will make it a bit quieter, one more reason is that it...

Hi guyz, does anyone know the cheapest place to get a cat and standard clutch for a clio 172 cup ? Ive heard that the Renault cat is around £900! but ive seen a few around a lot cheaper than that.

Listened for it today mate. Sounds exactly like your problem. It doesnt prime the fuel the first turn of the ignition but it does there after.

Hey guyz. I've been having this issue for a while now where the car just seems to run like a bag of bolts. Its a clio 172 cup. On idle it will hunt up and down the rev range slightly and when im driving along at slower speeds it accelerates and decelerates on its own, almost like there is a...

Hey guys, ive been having this problem for a long time now and have spent loads on trying to fix it. Basically below 4k revs it feels like the car has a mind of its own, I'll be driving along and my foot will be steady on the power but the car will go faster then slower on its own, like im...

I had a quick look, but couldn't see any leaks, but I'm not really that knowledgeable when it comes to cars.
