Thanks for the quick reply mate.
I will put up a wanted thread and see if anyone replies as it would be handy to borrow some from someone rather than buy them.
Cheers for the help.
I'm planning on refurbing my Turini's on my Cup.
I have searched the Forum and found that nothing smaller than a 15inch Steel will fit over the front brakes.
I'm having trouble finding 15inch steel wheels as there doesn't seem to be much on Ebay and the breakers yard round here sell out as soon...
I had this expect problem on my 172 cup, the alternator bolt had sheared off somehow. I got it fixed by JMS and the bolt from Renault was only about £25 from Renault. And now it is fitted it doesnt squeal at all.
Was parking on my drive this morning, and I was putting the handbrake on and suddenly I just heard a huge "Bang" and now the handbrake is really loose, and it only holds the car at the very top notch and the handbrake is almost vertical.
Is that a sign of one side of the handbrake cable has...

When I had my renewal through Admiral wanted £1100 for the Cup and I had done a quote as a new customer online that same morning and it came back at £748, told them that and they matched it. So never accept a renewal as 9 times out of 10 you can beat it.
When I was looking to buy my Cup last Summer, that garage popped up quite a few times on Autotrader, and there was a cup I saw which didn't look bad in the pictures, was abit overpriced though by about £500. Had a look on autotrader around October/November and it was still up for sale.
I saw your car at Braintree last night too, did look really nice! I was parked up down the other end behind the swimming pool.Got there about 8.10, then got to lakeside about 10.15. Was rammed at Tesco's.
I have had a search, but not really found the info I needed.
When I bought my car it came with a Pipercross Viper, and no Breather Filter was fitted by the looks of it.
I recently have got a JMS induction kit which comes with the breather filter, i've fitted the induction kit but not sure as...
Thanks very much mate, that's a lot of help. The car is at the garage overnight and I have managed to book tomorrow off work, I will pop down to the garage whilst the Auto Electricain is there and tell him about the White wire with the spade connector as the mechanic on the end of the phone just...
Just thought I'd update this.
I had the Car booked in this morning at a local garage for a new starter motor to be fitted. I managed to push my car off the drive and got it bump started, I drove it down to the garage (the car sounded perfect and drove fine) and left it there, and I got a...
I reckon Starter Motor too, mine has gone yesterday morning, Recovery tried to jump start me and it didnt work and I have enough voltage in the battery. You can try giving it a wack with something long as the starter motor is in right a pig of a place, its down the back of the block, underneath...
Just had the Recovery company out, he tried jump starting it and it didn't work, he reckons it is the Starter Motor, he tried hitting it with a hammer but that didn't work either.
Hi Guys.
I went to go to work this morning, and the car started first time without a problem.
I then had to go inside so I turned the car off and locked it.
Went back out a minute later and it wouldn't start, it was clicking/firing but it just wouldnt start.
Left it for a couple of minutes...
Ah awesome, you car looked really nice mate! and very low from what I saw! Roads were so busy though Sunday morning, saw you got stuck behind that bus at one point!
Thought the MPH & Top gear show really good.
Saw a Silver phase 1 172 with cliosport sticker. Think first of all saw it going past Harrods yesterday about 9.15am? then again parked up in the Underground Car park at Earls Court at 10am for the Top gear Live show?
I was in a Blue 172 Cup that went passed you.
If you do want to do things Engine Wise, normal things are, Matched Inlet manifolds, Uprated Panel filter in standard airbox, RS Tuner Map, Exhaust system and decat aswell if you wanted.
