Hi guys, I wonder if anyone can confirm I have an alternator which is not working as it should. I have just started using the car (172 Cup) and when the car idles the stop and battery light will be illuminated. Once the revs increase the light will go off. I have checked the condition of the...

I got 16mpg after a 40 minute session on Silverstone GP circuit at the weekend, can get mid 40's if driving sensibly on the road.

I've had my cup for just under a year, I don't use it as a daily although did use it last week as my daily to work and also for a run up to Silverstone at the weekend. Yes the car is harsh, doesn't run great first thing in the morning, is a bit noisy, the plastics inside are rubbish, but find a...

Really interesting hearing peoples thoughts on what will be a future classic car from the Renaultsport range, imho the future classics are the limited run models or the models which have something special about them, so 182 trophy, 172 cup etc. This is all quite subjective however, down to...

From Silverstone last weekend

Looks a good car to start with. Should be able to pick up a new UCH Module from ebay or from here easily enough.

Also when towing take account that you don't want to be clipping the apex of corners as you would in a car, you'll need to be wider going round corners, otherwise the trailer will be mounting curbs, pavements etc, hope that makes sense? Like everyone has said take your time and you'll be fine.

Managed to snap the bleed nipple on my front caliper.......not good, managed to get the gear decal fitted and then lacquered to my gear knob...good.

Hi Ali, I've been involved in motorsport all my life, driving, spannering, engineering, etc, I also went to Uni to study Motorsport Management. My advice would be to get yourself on the motorsport ladder, as Advikaz said above Formula Ford would be a great place to start, I know people who...

Cool Thanks Danny

Hi everyone, my rear heat shield is missing from the car, the piece which sits above the back box and attaches to the underside of the car. Can you still get these from Renault or will it be a case of waiting for a 2nd hand one to come up for sale? Or just not bother with one? Thanks everyone

I emailed the seller who stated that there are about 5 different types of radio for the Clio, is this true? Or is there a way to tell which i would need? It's for a 2003 Clio 172 cup. The type of radio looks exactly the same as the original ones? Sorry this is turning into abit of a saga.

Ok so have tried lots of times and still the same issue, I don't know if it's a faulty radio or there is a wiring issue? I had an up rated Kenwood stereo installed previously which worked fine. Think it'll be going back to the eBay seller. Thanks for everyone's help. Andy

Thanks Dave So it appears it must just be how I'm inputting it?!

Thanks have tried 5 nothing happened and then 6 again and just went back to saying CODE. I am not sure if the code is correct and I know that some people can get the codes so just wanted to see if the code is correct before I throw the unit back to the guy from eBay. Thanks for the replies so far.
