Got mine fixed by dieselpumprepair2 and eventually got round to fitting it at the weekend; all seems fine with the car now

Just wanted to add a big thank you for this thread. Had fitted my motor assembly without locating it on the nubbin, but have now got it all sorted thanks to this guide 👍

Ah grand, thanks for your help mate. I’ll need to get it organised and away for repair 👍

Hi folks, I’m having a problem with my 172 Cup where the hazard lights are going all the time, and a local auto electrician has diagnosed it as the UCH. After searching the forum I’ve seen a few recommendations for Dieselspecialist on ebay but I can’t seem to find them. Has anyone used them...

Thanks mate, once I’ve put a list together of what I need, I’ll give those folk a shout. I found the renaultspartsdirect a few weeks and managed to get new cup pillar badges as those were missing. I think I bought the gear knob top from them too. Unfortunately it looks like the old one has been...

Hi, I’ve not been on here in a while but have recently bought myself a 172 Cup after catching the Renaultsport bug again (I’ve had a valver, williams 2, 182 and Ph1 172 over the years). I always fancied a cup since they first came out, and when one came up for sale locally I thought it was as...

Grand, will do. I'll check this, along with the earth connections at the weekend.

Thanks, I'll have a look at the earths at the weekend. i was seeing about 14v at idle and higher revs, think this seems ok? Although I measured across battery, should I be measuring at the alternator itself?

Hi folks, I was hoping someone on here might be able to help as I'm having some serious issues with my electrics/warning lights.... car is a Ph1 172 with RS tuner map It started about 3 or 4 months ago when my head lights went out completely and a number of lights flashed up on the dash but...

"No,new as in new to me,it was serviced by the seller this morning and he had the bonnet up infront of me so im not sure how it could have snapped in that time?" I'm guessing if the guy already had the bonnet up when he got there then he looked in the engine bay then.......

Do they fit straight on, or require some cutting/modding to fit?

Cheers for all the advice guys, I'll have a look around at the different sets before buying but the Panasonic plasma looks pretty good. Unfortunately there's no Richer Sounds in Aberdeen

I was told that anything over 32" is better in Plasma, is this outdated info? I would love to get LED but a bit out of my price range........i think it's £800 for a 32"?

Hi, I'm looking to get a 37" or 42" plasma TV but I'm not sure which one to go for...... I've got about £800 to spend and was hoping to get a full HD one for this price? I've pretty much decided to go for a Panasonic or a Samsung, is Panasonic worth the extra money over a Samsung? What...

Aye, it's getting passed around like currency, lol
