Brilliant, thank you for the advice, really appreciate it. I was beginning to think I had a very tidy and lovingly restored parts car. So it sounds like securing in a vice will probably be the best solution while prying apart the indentations to stop bits of servo flying all over, then to fill...

Ah ok… thank you for letting me know about the 182 MC… that was a total oversight on my part. You’re right, it has two, Cup has four. So that idea is out. I’d also agree with you on those parts needing to be swapped out too. How easy is it to remove the part the pedal attaches to? As the servo...

It’s things like the fabric seats, thinner glass, 172 Cup offset Turini wheels… the list of unique parts/set up… how on earth did they afford to sell them for circa £13k But then rumour has it, each Megane R26R cost £1m in development and look how much they were brand new (can’t confirm if this...

I think that is what I’m going to do. I’m going to get a servo from Stu at Renomotive, as he has an few and see what I can ‘create’. When I’ve been thinking logically, the fork that holds the pedal is shorter, so this would affect the pedals resting location. Also I found that the amount of...

Thank you… it’s a lovely looking ornament at the moment 😅 That’s my thoughts, surely another non ABS car. Were the early 172 phase 1’s non ABS?

If that’s what’s needed, then I guess that’s my only solution. I can’t believe the servo is unique to the Cup. I’d be interested to find out what else that servo is used in, as surely it can’t be unique to just a 172 Cup. The development alone would have cost a fortune for a small number of...

Hi mate. Thank you for your detailed reply, really appreciate. Ah man, so it looks like the Cup is unique and I can’t just use any servo. The one or two I’ve found are rotten and look in worse condition than mine, so I just don’t understand how it split in half. I suppose as it’s in two...

Hi all I’ve spent the last two years restoring a Clio Cup, which has been owned by a couple of members on here already. It was a solid car to start with and had been stood for a few months prior to me becoming the custodian. Anyway, it went for its MOT and everything was going great, until...
