My 172 cup has just been MOT'd and failed on 2 things.
001 Nearside track rod end ball joint has excessive play [2 . 2 . B . 1f]
002 Rear brake load sensing valve seized [3 . 6 . E . 3]
What part do i need for the first fail? I've found a few online but unsure which one to get? Do i need a...
Today my mechanic friend changed my reverse light switch on my car. Before he had it the car went into reverse gear perfectly, just like any other gear but the reverse lights didn't work, so I had my reverse light switch changed. The car came back and the reverse lights work when I go into...
So my reverse lights have stopped working and my first thought is to change the reverse light switch as i had the same problem on my previous car!
I've looked on ebay and messaged a few sellers with my reg number etc and they have come back saying they don't have a switch for a 172 cup...
Not sure if this is the correct place to post, does anywhere know any places that sell wheel nuts/locking wheels nut sets that are coloured and not the usual silver? I've seen these on eBay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/121347266039 but not sure if they would go with grey wheels on my blue 172 cup...
My dads friend recently did a service on my 172 cup and whilst he did it he checked over the car and suggested I get some new rear discs and pads as mine are getting quite low. He suggested I get some genuine renault ones and directed me to a website and a seller on eBay, looking at about £110...
Thanks mate appreciate your help! So those that you linked me to are the same rear gearbox mount that you think I should try replacing first? How many mounts are on the gearbox? On the second link you sent, the ktec one, do all 3 pictures make up the one mount that I need? Thanks.
Is that one of the engine mounts? Where's the best place to buy then from? And do you know if they are all the same, so would a 172 or 182 fit a 172 cup. I've got a 172 cup.
So my car is making a lovely crunching noise when changing into second gear at high revs or when I'm driving in second gear at high revs and suddenly let off the accelerator it will also make the noise. Reading into the problem it sounds like the gearbox or engine mounts. So my question is what...
Yeah i can see where your both coming from, but its just not what you expect to happen lol. You just assume that if its in the garage then its safer and has less chance of anything happening to it!
Doing some insurance quotes on go compare, admiral came up the cheapest. I then started changing some things. I changed where the vehicle will be at night from a locked garage, to my driveway - this brought the price down by £239! Then i changed it to the road outside my house - this brought it...
For now im just changing the wheels, removing the stickers off the mudflaps, and replacing the bulbs at the front to brighter ones. But im sure there will be plenty more in the future :)
Hello, im Chris, and im from North Yorkshire! Just recently bought my Dads clio 172 cup. Its a 53 reg and its got 53000 miles on the clock.
The clio is a big upgrade speed wise from my other car which is currently up for sale, my 1.4 Vauxhall corsa Sri.
Picture of corsa.
Anyway here is a few...
