AndyG My cup does that also, (there is no cruise control on the cup...

Think that the non-sport Clios are like this...Ive had 2 courtesy cars (both clios) with the digital display for temp and fuel.

I tend to kill about 6,000 greenfly a week...well, thats how it looks...and Ive hit a sheep on my way over to Sheffield (Although I will admit that it was already dead, as some trucker must have run over it and left it) it was a late night, on a country road, and I was doing 60-65 in a NSA...

I find the lack of biting point (or a noticeable one!) a nightmare, especially as when I stall it, I feel like a plank, so have to plant my right foot to get away from the scene of the "crime" to save my embarrassment (sp!) The engine does like to be worked IMO, but like the lads have said...

Also, the cup does not have side airbags...(all because of the extra weight) Hand on heart, it is a case of personal choice, and I would loved to have bought a normal 172 for all the toys, but then if Id bought a 172, I may have been saying now that I wish Id bought a cup...so it is horses for...

OH......DOh!!! I think that Ill go back to bed then!!! Cheers :D

If there was some form of printable version, it would be better, as we could download it, print it off (therefore saving Jas any costs apart from the creation of the actual flyers) and would get the club to a bigger audience... (That and the fact that there is a 172 moved in up the road...

Have a sniff at Virgin Cars, Im sure that they had something in the paper for 182s at about 11,700...or thereabouts http://www.virgincars.com/newcars2.asp?CID=6991link Although that would be without the cup options...but at least youll save yourself a few quid, dependant on the PX value of...

Sorry mate, I have a TOAD alarm, as well as the cat 1 jobby from Renault...mine is silent arming and is standalone (so doesnt utilise central locking), so I dont know mate, but will give you a bump just in case.

A 1.4 or a 1.6 would be your best bet. I can also guarantee that youll get bored with your first car before 5 years...plus, you can only get 6 points in first 2 years, and if you have a powerful car you risk getting caught speeding...I had a 306 1.6 as first car, and when I got my 172, I was...

£11K is a bit steep for it, you can get a 182 with less miles on it for about £12.2K...although thats without the cup options, etc., Bit sneaky though, but leave the auction to finish, can guarantee if they dont get 11K, then theyll just tell auction winner that its sold. Then offer them the...

My glove box on the cup is the same...its not out by much, but enough to annoy an observant person!

Problem is with the CUP registrations, would be the carry over...would you be able to put it onto another car? as there will probably be no more CUP editions being released in the future...youre better getting something with name, initials or something which will never change, as if you try and...

If you go up into Scotland...head up towards Inverness...there is a road called the A9...its 120 miles in total, there are 3 speed cameras at the start and thats it for the rest of the way!!! They have signs advising of undercover cops in unmarked cars...but I didnt notice any while bombing down...

You CAN park on a grass verge http://www.speedcam.co.uk/index2.htmlink then look at how many of those "talivans" are parked on grass verges!!!

When Evo and the rest do their timing, they turn off the Traction Control...as it gives fairer figures. I know the cup suspension is 20mm wider at the front, and 10mm wider at the rear than a standard 172, so I would assume that these exact figures are on the 182 also (ie. 182 "standard"...

I would have to say though, the place where I bought my cup from the dealer there was brilliant, Andy @ Lookers Stockport spoke to both my partner and I, and he knew that I already knew what I wanted, so went out of his way to make the purchase as straightforward and hassle free as he possibly...

Rich-D, I think that LeeM was trying to suggest the difference between the 182 (standard) and 182 (with cup suspension) as there was no mention of 172 in that statement. I am a cup owner, and I think it was simply a comparison between a car with/and without the option. Hence the statement...

3 year warranty!

Northy, why doesnt that surprise me? ;) PS. are you gonna have your beastie up n running and sweet for the RR session on Saturday?

Go to a few places, and get some quotes, but are you just going to de-lock, or de-lock AND de-handle? If its the second, then youll need some kind of boot release button like Lunner mentioned, its more work, and therefore the price will rise accordingly as youve gotta get the bits removed, then...

If youve got the 52 plate Clio, is it not already de-locked?

For that sort of thing, youll need soleniods (Like a magnet), which when activated, will "pop" the door open...thats the only way you can do it without any handles. I will advise you though, that you need at least one keyhole, as what would you do without keyholes, if your battery died? Short of...

Cups dont have side airbags, but theyve got the drivers and passengers airbags. Ill have to check under both seats and see if theres any wires loose

Congrats Northy...so does this mean that the Rapide is consigned to the garage or something while your wee beastie comes out to play?

Yeah, its being done under warranty, Im just wondering how many other people this has happened to.

How many others have had this fault with their Clios? Ive been told by the service dept at my local Reno dealer that this happens because the wiring is under drivers seat, and therefore when drivers seat is moved it can catch the wire... Is this true? or am I just being fed a load of rubbish...

Go to main website (Cliosport.net)....then click on members area...enter number and P/word. The update with forum name and password...I know, as done this today, and welcome to the club.

Likewise mate...now all I gotta do is get the sticker into the car!! Welcome to the club!

A diesel with a turbo makes it similar to a standard engine of the same size (but with more torque). If they made a twin-turbo diesel engine, then that would be similar (obviously apart from the noise) to a turbod petrol lump. Ive driven a 206 1.9 TD and I was impressed with it when using it...
