My cup on pistonheads. Sad to see it go, and nobody notices me anymore in my Mondeo Diesel replacement:(http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/renault/renaultsport-clio/renaultsport-clio-172-cup--stunning-condition-and-original/1497992

I'll try and get on the next meet.......

May of been me, going to or coming back from Knockhill. Blue DU53 plate, just moved up to this part of the world. Great roads!

Our Clio 172 Cup did the same. Speedo Drive on gearbox.

Decided to fit the new bushes to the dog bone on wife's 172 cup. Got it off easy enough but getting the old bushes out with hand tools was impossible. Had to borrow a car and go to my dads old work and use their press. After that the rest was easy. I think the gear change is better but to be...

Fred sorted it. Just a bad plug lead. I'm not sure if this was caused by the puddle but I suspect yes, all that steam must of damaged one of the leads. Fred has lent me a set untill he gets back from Le Mans. So, symptoms where rough running, sounded like an impreza, ECU light flashing and lack...

Just out of interest my 172 had a misfire on no.2, took it to Fred at BTM who diagnosed plug leads. Try them first.

Thanks for the reply. Fred at BTM has managed to fit me in first thing in the morning so I'll update then.

Hi All. A few days ago the entrance to our road had a deep puddle, I had been through it in my Volvo but after the 172 Cup went through it it has started to misfire, I sounds like its constantly on three cyclinders, pop and bang out of the exhaust and the Engine light comes on every once in a...

T21 ADS on m42 Just overtook T21ADS taking it nice and steady on the M42/M40 northbound. Love the roof!

So with Sachs shocks coming on the second hand market I've been thinking of a complete Trophy set up on my wife's 172 Cup. I understand that the rears are no problem and a straight swap but the fronts have a different spacing. So, is it a reasonable idea to slot the upper bolt hole on the front...

Just resurrecting this thread. My engine mounts are causing all sorts of problems, so looking through the forum the dogbone and upper seem straight forward but what about the lower engine mount? Are they all possible to do at home with a jack? I have a 172 cup. Thanks

Funny I was just changing the top mounts on mine today, and yes they did move like that. Mine where brand knew from Renault.

When we bought our 172 Cup recently we had no locking wheel nut key for the standard renault locks. I drilled them out, but it took ages and about 5 drill bits per nut as they are so hard. The desing of the wheel and the nut doesnt lend itself to many of the other solutions on the net

Its rare, but every now and then whilst driving the speedo stops working. Its drops back to 0. How is the speedo fed? Is it a cable or a more modern design? Thanks
