Its done little over 800 miles and theres a nasty sounding knocking noise coming from the front of the car (it wasnt there last week). Its most noticeable when crawling along in traffic. If Im in first or second gear at, say, 2000rpm or just under then lift off the throttle theres a pronounced...

Had the car less than 2 weeks and the alarm randomly goes off. After its gone off and I lock the car it wont arm itself but gives a constant tone (not particularly loud) as if its reporting theres an error or that one of the circuits hasnt been closed (eg: bonnet switch). If the car is left...

Picked my Cup up on the 1st Dec (unfortunately the weather was cmailto:cr@p">r@p), but all seemed OK. When cleaning it today, noticed some blemishes in the paintwork and, following an inspection by a friend who runs a bodyshop, it turns out the offside corner of the front bumper has been...

Its all relative.......a Cup does seem a little on the raw side compared to a 172. Perhaps "raw" is the wrong word........the Cup seems more focused/has a harder "edge" than the 172, its out of the same mould as the mkI Golf GTI, 205, etc. Ive spent plenty of time driving Cup/172 back-to-back...

does anyone know what the definitive position is on the brake bias issue with the Cup ? I know this has been discussed at some length in other threads, but it still seems a little uncertain. Ive spoken to owners who insist it should be there (one of whom is a long serving reno technician) and...

by the way, recently spoke to someone who had climate fitted post production...........dealer sorted it with reno UK import centre, dunno how much it cost tho

got my Cup for 12,100............that was with a p/ex........ordered end of september. some other stuff thrown in aswell, but nothing to really shout about.

nah.....the missus has the Golf 20VT. I agree, it is lethargic, so its having the Jabbasport treatment in the new year. Im running a 2001 Ibiza 20VT with a little over 200 BHP following a trip to aforementioned JabbaSport. Ibiza handling doesnt come close to the Cup from what I remember of...

Richard Sanders (reno dealer) in Kettering...............know anything of them ?

Thanks to all who took the time to reply to my original thread. Reassuring comments and some good reports (for a change) have made me feel a whole lot better. Ive been on a bit of a roller-coaster ride...........one day Im convinced its a great move, the next Im worried about being...

My Cup is due to be delivered in less than 2 weeks. Ive only been following the threads on this site for a few weeks, but Im very concerned about whether its the right move and Im considering pulling out. I know you only ever read about the bad stories (rarely do people start shouting about...

Damn right it should be. Any suggestions about the best way of going about this ? There must be an official/formal route to go thru with things like this.......does anyone know or have any experience of this ? Id like to think that if a large number of Cup owners got together and this was...

I saw Rich-Ds message about it being a false alarm, but then how do you explain why some cars have it and others dont ? Are some of the guys posting on here on the "inside" (reno techies) ? Can they give a definitive answer ? I dont want to seem like I doubt any of these guys, but unless...

Im due to collect my Cup in approx 2 weeks and Im worried about what Ive followed in the threads on the brake bias valve issue. Ive looked at 2 Cups in the last week, both at a dealer, one with the link between the valve and the rear beam and one without............so what am I supposed to...

Im due to collect my Cup in a couple of weeks and have been following the posts about the link between the bias valve and the rear beam. In the last week Ive looked at 2 Cups, both at dealers, one has the link, one doesnt ! What the hell am I supposed to make of that !?!? I noted the message...
