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.

based in Shrewsbury, bout an hour from Birmingham

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.

Ive been having this on going handling problem for a while now where the steering feels very loose, sometimes feels like the wheels are skipping, driving on ice feeling etc. Car always pulls to the right when braking and accelerating hard. Was just washing the car last week and noticed that the...

I was just cleaning mine today and noticed that ride height on the rear left and right looked different. So i measured it up and the ride height on the rear right is lower by slightly over 2cm compared to the left. I have no clue about cars technically, but does that seem like it could be...

Ye not that you mention it, it does feel easier turning right i think, my brother has a cup and driving his, his steering feels a lot heavier bit in a good way, like the tires are actually gripping the road.

Hey guys, Ive got this problem with the steering on a 172 cup, its very twitchy a lot of the time, bumps on the road will pull the car in different directions even touching the white line in the middle of the road will do it. Sometimes it also feels like I'm driving on ice for a few seconds...

Hi, guys when i bought my clio the guy i got it off said that he had just put a new clutch and accel pedal on it, the clutch is very heavy and has alot of spring back making normal driving a bit of an effort. Ive read that clio 172's have heavy clutch's anyway so i just assumed that they were...

Well, i went to see a clio cup same as mine today, as my brother is thinking of getting one. To be fair i havent cleaned mine in months, but this one we went to see puts mine to shame. This thing sparkles, and the wheels look brand new. i just need a really really good clean all round. I wouldnt...

Is there anyone in the Shrewsbury/Shropshire area that would be willing to do some detailing for me ? I just havent got the time and my car looks a right bag of you know what.

Hi everyone, ive got a strange issue with my clio, its a 172 cup and for the past 5 or so months its been intermittently hunting. It only happens on a cold start, but not all the time,which is a real pain when trying to diagnose whats causing it. Basically what happens is ill pull off in first...

Just to update, ive had the accel pedal sensor replaced, that didnt work, so they then added the wiring loom but that also hasnt fixed the problem. Only last week they fitted a new throttle body but that hasnt fixed the problem either. So they now think that it might be the fuel injectors i...

nope not yet, the garage i took it to found that there was a fault with the accelerator pedal so they replaced that, and that fixed the problem. But it is slowly coming back again. What they think it might be now is some extra wiring is needed for the pedal. Renault issued a bulletin saying that...

Hi guyz got a problem with my clio cup, every once in a while it will go into limp home mode, just had it back from the garage and they found a fault with the accel pedal so they replaced that. But its still coming on. What ive found out is that it only comes on when i stick the blower on with...

I think it did, but im not 100%, i had mine sent direct to a garage

I currently have the same problem with mine, it does seem to happen only when the engine is cold, doesnt last long though but its annoying

Hey guyz, i recently got a new exhaust fitted, have had it on for a week and a bit, its a de-cat but the emissions light has yet to come on, does the emissions light always come on if you have a de-cat ? thx

Does anyone know where i can get a set of new wheel nuts for the 16" Turini's ? thx
