Ah I see, I thought they were your local dealer or something, but if they are substantially cheaper then ill certainly give them a try, are they an independent set up?

Thanks Ads, may give my local dealer a call first for the sensor and coolant. In terms of the thermostat, Eurocarparts do a Circoli one at less that £4. Renault is around £25. Has anyone used the ECP one?

I picked up my 172 Cup on Friday and I'm pretty happy with it so far. But, the temp gauge is reading low so I guess the the thermostat is knackered, but I want to change the coolant temp sensor too whilst I'm at it. Does anyone have a part number or link for the right one? Also, I'll be...

May drop in, not too far from me :up:

Parts are coming for the new ND MX-5, as mentioned above, a lot of the Japanese tuning houses are developing parts for the new model: http://rev9autosport.com/nd-15.html Here's my current Mk1 Roadster :smile:

My Naples red valver was M168BCA. Anyone on here ever end up with that I wonder..?

Anyone have an idea on this? 53 plate 172 Cup in silver, 76K, cambelt done recently, Wheels need a refurb, interior wear (may need a bit of a refurb, some new plastics. wheel etc), body looks good, no dents, all original except after-market exhaust and airbox. I'm thinking about £1600?

Ok, thanks, it looks cheap but pretty rough as well I thought.

I'm in Halifax, West Yorks buddy, but this appears the only decent car I've found so far. I'm willing to travel though, but it will be a long day 😧 I've spoken to the seller and he seems pretty fair & upfront, so this is looking at the moment as the likely candidate. But that journey...

Lol, that IS the car I am talking about above :)

Now now children. Not the car i'm talking about above, but any thoughts on this one? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/171890831714?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

Yes, I can survive without aircon, I only use it about 5 days a year in the Focus. Side airbags and ABS, my MX5 doesn't have those so yes, I can live without those too (unless i get T-Boned by a range Rover or whatever). It's a drivers car after all isn't it? The car I'm looking at appears to...

Agreed, the MX5 gear change is like a reloading a precision rifle. I remember the valver gearbox being like treacle, before it shat itself and wiped out a 1st, 3rd and 5th. I'm not sure if i could put up with an MX5 for a daily though. I don't think I need 170hp to get to work, I just like the...

I have seen one, but its miles away from me. It looks like it been really well looked after, but requires new top mounts. Is that a pretty straight forward job?

Thanks for replying. To be honest, comfort isn't a big priority, I'll take an inspiring drive any day over comfort and toys. The Focus has an Eibach/Bilstein set up, which is not really too bad, compared to the Roadster which is on coilover's. I'm keen to see what other Cup owners have found...

OK, so after years away from the Clio scene, I've found myself looking again at possibly buying a 172 Cup or a 182. The prices seem quite low at the moment and there are some nice examples out there. I've always wanted a 172 Cup to be fair. I owned a '95 Ph2 1.8 16v Clio many moons ago, and...

Yeah, I think I just made a mess in my pants watching this car. Thanks for that!

I think it comes as a kit from Renault, along with the 4 security bolts used to hold the centre caps on. The kit is about £20 from Renault but I'm sure you'll be able to pick one up off eBay.

Does anyone know if it's possible to remove the top, o/s and n/s outer windscreen rubber seals without removing the windscreen? The ones on the car are in a bad way and could do with replacing!If so, anyone know where I can get them from and how much they are?

Ok, cool, yesi have all four so I'll get them changed. The alloys didn't come with the car originally, it had steelies on at first, but I've kept the original bolts, should I replace them with some bolts that are for those alloys, if they are slightly longer?

I need to replace the Tyres on the others halves 1.2 16v - the car is on the standard 15" Renault alloys, with 185 55 15 Tyres. I have a set of hardly used Kuhmo's in the garage, but they're 195 60 15's. If I put the Kuhmo's on, will I have any problems? Also, can anyone tell me if the...

Garage was in leeds west yorks - had a cliosport sticker in top of rear window - think they have auctioned it off - phase 2 alloys with no centre caps, new blue ht leads and ramair filter - 97k?

No i part exd it - i have all the reciepts and bills for it thats all - just thought if someone bought it and didnt know what the history was, i have it all from 2000 - no goof to me now!

Does anyone own this? it was mine!

I had a valver, a 95 m plate - got it with 60k - sold it at 97k - the 1st 18months were terrific - it just got better and better...but after 75/80k, stuff started going wrong - gearbox, stearing rack, rusty rear arches - big money stuff. I think i made the mistake of using it as my main car...

this has gone on the wrong topic!!

God damn it! just getting the valver ready to sell and fecking walk out to the petrol station to see water p1ssing out of the bottom of the radiator...filled it back up, but was gone again after 20 mins of driving...took the lid off the water tank and the water was all white with bubbles in...

wongy> I know, i need mine for work and gets used every day of the week, thats probably why - only got mine back on wednesday from the garage and it started doing the same thing again this morning - some dodgy connection to do with the renix ignition thing or somthing.... was gonna buy...
