Yes, if its a pukka UK car it should have the alarm as standard. Take it back to the dealer and DEMAND an alarm fitting!!!

Thatcham Cat 1 mate...

Both the 172 & Cup have the same Thatcham Cat 1 alarm system mate... Youll know if it has one as there will be ultrasonics on the front pillars near the windscreen, so just look up and see if theyre there. To set it off, lock the car as normal, wait a couple of mins, then unlock a door...

Why you little... ;)

Why?! Just go buy a genuine one from Renault for about a fiver!

Were not being "mean old gits" mate, there are reasons to use geniune ones!

Why?! They dont sell "genuine" oil filters and probably cost more for an aftermarket one!

Yeah, it deffo needs doing...

Here are all mine... Fiesta 1.1 Pop Plus - Boggo Metro 1.3 City X - Sports backbox, K&N filter, white steel wheels, some stereo Nova 1.3 SR - Twin-choke Webber carb, Pipercross filter, Splitfires, comp ignition leads, full sports zorst, Astra GTE brakes with uprated pads...

Probably not oil related...

What problems?

I have one, but Ive never fitted it to my Cup and wont be doing so... Had it on my 306 Rallye and it did f*ck all to either performance or economy so did nowt apart from make a daft noise!

What results?! Why do you want/need to change the oil spec?

That oil you ordered is the wrong grade though... We told you it was 10W40 and thats what Renault specify, but you got different stuff, so theyll probably moan about that! Just get a filter off them and do it yourself, its p!ss easy!

Well, BB Tuning do sell pukka Renault oil filters and they only cost £5.88 but with the p&p added they are £14.02 so just go to your local dealer who will have them in stock! Make sure you buy a genuine one though...

Well, from what it says on the website it "sounds" very good! Be interested in the results that Svezel gets...

Buy genuine only mate!

And thats ALWAYS a good thing... ;)

Bingo!

Mmmmmmm... noodles! :D

Read the handbook...

I always check what Im paying for now... When I had my 106 GTi I got loads knocked off the 2 year/20k service becuase they didnt do certain stuff (at my request) and it was enough to get the stamp in the book & keep the warranty!

Exactly... If it aint done by Renault & stamped up it also invalidates the warranty!

Err... didnt think the Cup had a pollen filter unless it has climate?!

Says that for the R5 GT Turbo engine as well...

Met up with Chris (aka chris n nic) this lunchtime and had a blast in each others cars... His Cup also has the same PAS fluid leak, from the same place, but not as bad as mine, but his PAS pump sounds noisy like mine too! Now I dont feel as bad! :oops: Just want it sorted then I can...

Was it that bit I said???

There is no service in the schedule until 12k miles or 2 years and its the same for other new cars as they dont need to anymore. Manufacturing tolerances are much better and designs are such that these days it aint neccessary. Some people do change it early though for peace of mind...

Hot exhaust Id say...

It wont "break" as such, it will just progressively get worse and start crunching going into gear. My mates has been doing it for a few thousand miles now, so dont worry. Get it in and have them check it for your peace of mind though...
