Mine creaks (if thats the word) thought it was my posterior causing the problem!! :oops:

I personally think that the trophy should have been as different to the 182 and 182 cup as the 172 cup was to the original (and MkII 172). 90Kgs lighter, but with the extra 10 horses (at least) and suspension revisions. Why make a car too similar to the others for anything more than a parts bin...

They put a longer cable in, so it doesnt stretch and cause the problem. Depends on the garage really.

Im liking it, but with the minefield of information (garbage and otherwise) its too early to make an informed decision. Based on looks, I like it, and its starting to make my cup look dated by comparison. If it has the style, the performance but not the weight (although there will almost...

Cocopops....dont include mine! My contract has gone belly up, so Ive left...that and the fact that the bosses son has a crappy MG and is unimpressed to see someone in the team with a better car than him!!! Suits me though, as I was gonna be working on the Sunday for the meet in...

I usually let on (wave/flash lights, etc.,) to other 172/182 drivers. I saw a 182 racing blue with the gordini stripes, drove towards it, and flashed lights and waved, bloke driving was in his 60s!!!! He blanked me and carried on!!!

BT Expedite, 2650 Kings Court (off the Crescent)...

CocoPops, where on Brum business park? Im based at Kings Court, and theres now a Meg 225 in blue there as well!!!

Fred, its cool mate. Thanks for the offer though, but Im off to Manchester on Friday, so will go to the Renault Minute in St. Helens, as its on the way. It just shocks me that there are so few of them listed. Its a bit garbage when you consider how many people own a Renault. Although I may be...

Mike, itd be nice if it was that easy!!! The only one anywhere near here is Shropshire (William A Lewis Shrewsbury), Im not a local lad, and Reno Solihull dont do pick up and collect!!! Shropshire is the only country around where I am, as dont really wanna go too far out of my way...

BUMP, anyone????

I need my car booking in for its 24K service (pretty soon!) I work in Birmingham Business Park, and wondered if there were any dealers near that area that do pick up and collect so I can get it done without having to take time off work. Renault Solihull (apparently) dont do it. Any ideas...

Something else to consider is the tax, dont forget that the tax bracket is higher for a 1.6 over a 1.4...for the sake of the small increase in bhp with .2 of a litre increase, is it worth it in terms of insurance, tax, etc., Just my ten penneth! :)

Diesel is only really justified if youre doing over 17K per year, as the premium of Diesel, plus price at pump do add up.

They anthrocites? They look more black than they should be. I fancy getting my cup wheels done in anthrocite, and definately dont want it THAT colour!

This is making me worry, my cup is making wierd noise at tickover, its due its 24K service soon, but its trying to cut out when I get going at the top of my road, and stutters (if thats the right word) when first pulling off in the morning. At least Reno are giving you a new engine, thats a...

Boys, its about £10 for the "172 Cup" sticky badges from Renault (bodyshop had to get some when they did some work on the car) I think Mikes knocking them out for £4 (IIRC)

I did that tonight coming back from work, but obviously it wasnt me as missus would have kicked my ass! Based at Brum business park, so near enough to me!

Sorry to pee on the old fire, but saw an acid yellow V6 in Lookers Stockport several months ago, although the staff there referred to it as "baby sick yellow"... They are wierd, and I dont think that the price of the option justifies the finish, but Im a tight bugger! The Vee is a noticeable...

I am thinking of investing, as there are 5 new speed cameras in parts of Manchester that I use regularly, if there is this many where I am, whos to say how many more have been "planted" in places Ive not yet been past waiting to grab the next poor "innocent" or unobservant motorist and f*** them...

1 year 172 cup airbag light on, repair of damage caused by salesman which I was unaware of when buying the car, 12K service, repair by bodyshop because rear spoiler catching on bodywork.

If you turn ignition to position 2 twice and then lock the car, the alarm will beep at you to alert you to the fact that your ultrasonic sensors have been turned off so that the alarm only activates if the doors are open, NOT if a window is broken, its so that you can leave the windows open a...

Welcome to Cliosport, something I would suggest is changing your reg for a private one. the 172s werent out for 1998 (S Reg) so those in the know will know its not! Its just an observation, up to you though. You can get internal and external Cliosport.net stickers I would suggest the small...

J, no can do mate...trying to move dahn Saff...well Midlands! When is it? ;) My car has been in bodyshop 3 times in last month, still needs wheels refurbing, and bits here and there, so thats where the cash is going. Sure Ill pop past Cheadle/Stockport some time and race (erm ride...

I know youve had engine work done J, but no need to go over to Leeds showing it off!!! ;)

Im a 172 cup driver, so toys like ESP are only a dream! ;)

If youre getting one on the second hand market, watch out as I know of one which was sold from a dealer without the standard Sat Nav being included, it was taken from the auction at which the dealers company bought the thing from.

Agreed, airbag light is under drivers seat, if you have 3door car, and the drivers seat is being moved back and forth to let people in/out, then the cable gets stretched. Renault will put a longer cable in under warranty, that the best bet, as it costs nothing, and you get courtesy car for day...

You will only get the value of car at time when it was bought if the car is written off. If you think about the damage youd need to do to write off 5Ks worth of car it would be in an extreme case scenario. I admit that Ive gotten it, it covers me for 3 years after Ive bought the car (another 2...
