    172 Cup brake bias - rear brakes compensator fault? Not the MOT issue!!

    Cheers @16v_paddy bought that part you linked to. Fitted it but I'm not sure if it's leaking from the same place. Replacing the compensator leaked alot of fluid and I've had to bleed the brakes a number of times. Does the compensator need bleeding? Does the nut at the bottom do anything of...

    172 Cup - hard brake lines

    Hello, I'll be replacing my Cup's rear bias/compensator valve as it's leaking. Looking at the lines that run to it and and the union connections, I can't see them coming off 'nicely'. Is there a company that sells upgraded hardlines that run to the compensator valve? Thanks,

    172 Cup brake bias - rear brakes compensator fault? Not the MOT issue!!

    Slight bump on this for anyone following. My Compensator or bias valve is leaking from the nut at the bottom. Is that common? Will tightening it stop it or is it likely failed internally. Anyone have a link to a new valve? Cheers.

    172 Cup OEM+

    Took the the Missus and my daughter out in the clio this weekend. Nice to have a (toy) car we can all jump in and Enjoy. On returning I noticed a little puddle on the floor where the Clio was parked, but it wasn't where'd you'd expect at the front, it was towards the back? Stuck my head under...

    This was only ment to be a daliy - Megane 280 cup

    I've seen a few of these locally and they've really grown on me. They look fantastic on the road. Silver is such a great colour too. Keep the updates coming.

    I've gone in the traditional route via the rear door cards.

    172 Cup OEM+

    Yeah, skirts off. Stood here now and no silver sticker. Unless I am blind. Skirts off and the black rectangular brackets twisted just to check it's not under one of them. I remember all my previous 182s having a silver sticker under the sill and not knowing what it was for, but this is my...

    Is this sticker on later cars as I can't see it on this Cup?

    Cheapest bluetooth solution for standard head unit?

    Looking for solutions for my 172 cup. The above links to the green plug Aux Wire isn't compatible with the 172 Cup Tuner List model. The green plug is the wrong shape and even triming it to fit it didn't work. Anyone have a good Bluetooth solution for a 172 Cup?

    On the cards. How do you get cavity wax in the inner sills? Is there a trick to it?

    172 Cup OEM+

    I think you may be right. EML light. It's a 21 year old car. These things are to be expected. Thankfully ClioSport.net came to the rescue and suggested it could be an injector. All four replaced and it's running like French watch. 😂

    172 Cup OEM+

    Took the Cup for a spin over local roads and it's great. Very compliant over the pothole'd roads of South Wales and it's just the right or 'raw' to feel special. I did notice that the EML flashed very, very briefly. Took a quick reading of the resistance at the Injectors. x4 new genuine...

    172 Cup OEM+

    Recently @Alastair. advertised his Clio 172 Cup and although I messaged within 10mins of it being advertised, I'd missed out. @*lee* beat me to it. A week later I get a message on FB from Lee explaining he'd bought it on a whim and what he really wanted was an R26 Megane. He'd seen a Megane and...

    Bowen's RB182

    So, recently the clio has been driving me up the wall. Mainly the above ABS + SERV light. I tried wiggling wires, checking earth points and a new brake light switch. Thought I fixed it, but I hadn't. Bit the bullet and bought the ABS module for the RSTuner. 3 codes. 1.ABS front right...

    ABS + SERV light no ESP light

    Gents. I have the ABS + SERV light but no ESP light on the dash. This started where I could start the car and the lights would not be on. Until I pressed the brake pedal, even when stationary and the lights would come on. Now, I can disconnect the battery. Reconnect the battery, turn the...

    Bowen's RB182

    I had searched and results say that ABS, SERV are usually good mates with ESP light too. But no, no ESP light. So this all started around the same time I managed to put the clutch switch and brake switch on the wrong pedals, right connections wrong holes above the pedals. Yes, everytime I put...

    Bowen's RB182

    Changed the wheels over to the Team Dynamics fitted with Giti semi slicks. Very good tyres, I imagine even better in the dry. Went for a drive on some local roads and the longest drive since all of the work. There were rattles, and knocks and engine lights. The rattles turned out to be...

    ‘Bonnie Blue’ The RB 182

    Love to see this. Helpful bunch. I remember totally F'ing up the airbag module thing and Russ (changes his user name every week) saved my arse. Question for you. Where did you source your rear discs/bearings from?

    ‘Bonnie Blue’ The RB 182

    If you squint or not actually, gives you the idea how it would look with 2118. Personally I want to get the 2118's done in a light silver. But it's got other ideas on where I spend the money.

    Bowen's RB182

    Wow is this where I left things.....small updates then. Eventually, everything was fitted and the EPAS worked like a dream. In my personal opinion, I highly rate it. Not long after I had everything in this turned up So out came the seats and in it went at some point I relocated the...

    No brake lights, ABS & SERV light.

    Before you say it, I've searched and although there are those with similar problems, none are like my issue, because I'm special. I have NO brake lights and I have the ABS and SERV lights on the dash. I DO have rear lights and indicators. Replaced brake light switch - still no brake lights...
