I've only noticed it since then, may have been doing it before I'm not sure. Got them done by a local Renault Specialist

It had been raining, but the rain hasn't been an issue before, I've just had the cambelt and dephaser done, don't know if that's of any relevance. I did ask if he'd noticed any problems anywhere else and he said it was all fine

Hi guys, I started my car up yesterday and it was juddering slightly on idle, I raised the RPM to about 2000 and it started juddering quite severely. When I tried to drive it felt like it didn't want to rev and was struggling for power. I let it sit and get up to temperature and the RPM that it...

I'm literally about to go back to the garage that did the MOT because as I said earlier, this wasn't happening before I took it for it's test. Cheers for the feedback

They said they couldn't do the emissions test because the car was getting too hot just sitting running and not moving, there was no fan to cool the engine. The heaters feel very hot, like the car has been running for at least half an hour

My Clio 172 Cup has been running fine. Took it for it's MOT on Friday, but they couldn't do the emissions test because the radiator fan wasn't kicking in. The garage put in a temporary fix to get it through the test and gave me it back. I've since been to an auto electrics place to sort the...

Hi, I'm sure this is been covered before, if it has, and someone can point me in the right direction, that would be great.... But I've been having problems with my boot, for a while it wouldn't lock, and how all of a sudden it's locked and it wont unlock, does anyone know the solution to this...

Thanks for the advice guys!

The wheels on my 172 Cup have been powder coated and I'm sure many people have done the same. Just wondered if anyone knows if I can use alloy wheel cleaner on them? I don't know how aggressive it is and I don't want to risk damaging the paint. I'm just cleaning them with normal car shampoo at...

I've sent the new ones back as they were no good

Cheers JamieG seems like going through Renault will be my best bet.

The taper was 60 degrees but the length of it was about 5mm shorter than the standard bolt and it wasn't sitting properly in my wheel, I asked the mechanic when I went to get a spare bolt and he said he wouldn't trust them, just going from his advice really.

Anyone?

I thought about painting mine, but they're in pretty bad condition, they need replacing, one of them actually snapped when I took it out, luckily not in the hub. Got a spare from the garage to tide me over.

This might be a daft question, but has anyone replaced the wheel bolts for their 172 Cup? I ordered some bolts online but the taper is too small for the Speedline Turinis. Mine are all rusted and I want to replace them. I know I need M12 x 1.5 thread size but can someone tell me the correct...

If your still interested Andy_vx I spoke to pipercross today and they say they've done a lot of testing for the best position for the cold air feed, and they say you get the best results tucking it next to the battery, behind the headlight, I found the hose that comes with the kit isn't long...

I will be as well as long as it stops raining! I got some silicone sealant today, apparently that's strong enough to hold it in place, I'm not so sure though, don't want to make a mess of it :| Have you got a Viper as well Andy?

I know gaffa tape fixes anything, but really? lol I'm not sure it would do the job, there's quite a big gap around the hole in the fog light surround and the intake for the air feed

Just got myself a Pipercross Viper today for my 172 Cup, I'm going to run the cold air feed through my fog light, which I'm sure many of you have done, just wondering what people have used to hold it in place? I've just got some carbon fog light surrounds so didn't really want to use glue and...

Cheers for the replys guys. It says on the website they must be bonded in place. I'll have a look at tiger seal, read that epoxy resin works quite well, may try that.

Looking at getting these for my 172 Cup, any one know the best stuff for bonding them into position? Never worked with carbon fiber before.

So some developments on this....Went out for a drive today and my gear box is now crunching slightly changing in and out of 4th, was doing it, 3rd-4th, and 4th-5th, doesnt seem to be doing it ith any other gears, it's not a massive crunch, just sounds like somethings catching. Any ideas, anyone?

Ok cheers for your help guys...at least I have an answer now!

going be an expensive then! The guys I spoke to about the box said its a 9 hour job to take the box out and put it back in again without even doing any work on it....awesome!

I've got the receipt....I've spoken to the people that did it, they said it isn't anything that they would have done, they only did the bearings, bush kit and boots and if its jumping out of gear then it's something else and they'd have to have a look. Worth mentioning that it's not doing it...

Hi, I bought a 172 Cup in November 2013 it was spot on for a while but recently it has started jumping out of 3rd gear. It only seems to do it when changing from 2nd, pretty sure it's not doing it when its driving in 3rd. The gear box was taken out and refurbed in June 2013, so I'm assuming the...
