Thanks all

Thanks, The point I was trying to make was, is it worth paying the extra for the newer car if it is going to be more reliable with respect to the gearbox issue. Just want to stick to the topic, but thanks anyway and apologies if its misleading

I didnt ask for advice on how to buy car :dapprove: The later models have a white rev counter dial and hence possible gearbox mod! Thanks, but more conjecture does not help me.

Does anyone know if the last run of the 200's had a gearbox modification done to cure the previous issues? Keep hearing this but its all conjecture I think? Does anyone in the trade know for sure, and if so when it was done? I have the option on a 2012 car with white rev counter facia or a...

Anyone know what the book price is on a 03/03 172 cup with 73000 on the clock? Not sure what to ask for it at the moment as the prices seem to be all over the place. Glass's and Parkers also seem to be a little off?? Thanks

How much is that and is it cheaper than a replacement?

Just had my car through the 72000 mile service and it seems to run like a rocket. Thats mainly down to the Ford KA I had for 4 days, but it is much improved. Sadly the fully synth oil in the gearbox has not stopped the crunching problem Mainly happens under hard acceleration. Not swapping...

Thats the theory! I'm hoping its the sensor on the exhaust thats gone and not the cat itself. No idea what they cost but probably expensive. Time to change this car I think, it's over 4 years old now, time for a change.

This is due for my clio 172 cup. I know its gonna cost a fortune, but would like to know what exactly is involved in the service. The camebelt is the big expense, but do they do the gearbox oil etc. If anyone knows or can recommend somewhere to take the car in the South Wales area, I would...

Does this mean if the cat is still fitted and the light comes on, your cat is buggered? Or is it more likely the lambda sensor has failed. I have this problem at the moment, but it came on with the standard exhaust in place Thanks

Hi Rear end box of my Clio 172 Cup has finally given up the ghost. Just wondered what the cheapest way to go with a replacement. Not looking for "go faster" make lots of noise option, or a de cat as the car has to go through an MOT these days. Just wondered if there may be a good option...

Where is the transducer located? Thanks

Thanks for that, maybe this is due to that petrol problem last week. Car seems to run OK though. Whats the worst that can happen running it like this? I am seriously considering a PX on a new motor, so may just unload it onto a dealer to fix after the deal is done Sounds like I will have to...

I'm driving along and my speedo suddenly stops working, a second later the radio loses some volume so I turn it up abit. Later the speedo then bursts back into life followed by my radio volume. It keeps doing it on a off, mostly off at present. Just to add to the problem, the engine light on...

My clio 172 cup has developed a very stiff and sticky gearchange. This can sometimes crunch when changing gear quickly. It doesnt appear to be a syncro mesh problem as it isnt consistent in any gear, and it only happens occasionally. Clutch also appears fine.. (usual tests etc) It has...

I am currently having the same problem and it has renault stumped. I have a 172CUP. I have had a new servo as I thought this would cure it, it didnt. New master cylinder (which was Renaults idea) which I thought wouldnt work and it didnt. They have changed some spring unit on the back of...

Thanks for the reply, do you have contact info, address, or web site etc cheers

Hi everyone After having continual brake issues that renault UK in all there wisdom cant fix (clio cup), I have had enough. Sode the warranty it's not worth the paper it's written on. Can anyone recommend an independant specialist who could diagnose this problem for me. Preferably in the...

My cup runs noticably better on Optimax 98ron than regular 95. Both Throttle response and feels quicker generally, pulling through the rev range quicker(possibly better torque). Not talking massive amounts here but I think it's worth the difference. Whats the point in buying a performance car if...

Thanks for the input guys, kind of thought that would be the conclusion. On the subject of wheels, I agree with any thing over 16" effecting ride and handling. It will also increase your rolling radius if you go to 17", increasing the gearing slighty. In thoery you would be slower on...

Hi Thought I would complete the story for reference purposes, should anyone else experience this. The problem did indeed turn out to be the Master cylinder, which surprised me and the mechanic doing the work. The problem on this occasion was a brake pedal that went very firm/hard and you got...

Do you mean air in the system? The problem isnt a feeling of being soft so I dont think it might be that. I should add that the work is being done by the dealer on warranty, so I have to assume they are covering these angles. I have chated with the mechanic each time work has been done and he...

Apologies if this is a tired subject but I have only just signed back in. I own a 172 Cup and have been thinking about the possibility of going to a Trophy, question is it worth it. Is the Trophy that much better to justify the change. I have tried a 182 standard car and it felt less...

I have had my cup for nearly 3 years from new and it hasn’t ever caused me a problem till recently. I started to suffer a lack of braking effect at all speeds, which made the brake feel very wooden and the pedal got gradually harder. Servo I thought, so had it changed. Problem still there...
