    Looks super clean ! Well done.

    Chris's 172 Cup Turbo

    Nightmare isnt it! I think all Cup owners worry about this. Im not even sure a seat cover would help as it would probably still rub the material of the seat.

    Giving a 172 Cup some TLC

    Minor modification done today. Always fancied a KTEC Induction kit as my Brother has one on his 182 and it sounds ace. They are fairly pricey new but when @Coops Mk1 put his lightly used one up for sale, I snapped it up. Also see to have resolved the random cold start issues. The car started...

    Which silencer to remove? Clio mk3

    It wont sound better with the silencer removed, it will sound louder.

    2004 Titanium rs 182 on e bay with 38k miles For £6000

    I think you simply have to go a see these cars in person. If I were you I'd try and go and see as many cars as you can over the course of a weekend etc.

    Steamed up - Is it a Clio thing?

    Old cars arent airtight at all, especially Clios in my experience so they are affected by the changes in temperature like we see in the winter months. Like you, I spent a long time chasing leaks and making sure my car is bone dry inside. When you start lifting carpets and inspecting seals...

    Mondial Blue 172 Cup OEM

    Are you sure the Coolant was replaced only 10k miles ago? It does look minging to be fair mate. I was criticizing you (too much) mate :) . I think that asking top dollar for any car is going to attract such comments. Yip, the fact that the colour f the coolant is the only thing people are...

    Mondial Blue 172 Cup OEM

    I was thinking the same. For 6500 I think it needs a coolant flush. 👍🏻

    Mondial Blue 172 Cup OEM

    Looks like a very nice example. If its rust free in all the usual problem areas then its worth over £5000 as a starting point in my opinion. Calling @Joejordan

    Low mileage 172 Cup £14,999 on ebay

    Got be worth double now 😉. 👍🏻

    What have I done!

    My experience with a KTEC induction kit and Scorpion exhaust is that the induction kit is silent unless you are accelerating hard. Under normal driving it cannot be heard.

    2005 Renult Clio RS182 1688 Miles From New £19500 yes £19500. Now Sold.

    This car is an outlier in terms of overall value for Clios due to the mileage. The fact it has been stored for so long would mean it would be fine as an ornament ( but you would arguably want a Trophy for that ) but if you were planning on driving it, you could well have a big bill to get it...

    Clio 172 Phase 1 - Barn find

    Good work mate, it will be worth it when its all done.

    Paul's Sunflower 172 -

    Very cool to see one of these out on the roads these days. I had a black Ph1 many moons ago and loved it. Not sure about your splitter mind you ;-)

    The Dreaded engine management light

    There will be more informed people on here than me who can confirm but I think you have to take the car to someone that has Clip and has plenty of experience with it. Otherwise they are just making educated guesses. Im pretty sure if there is a repeatable issue, Clip would be throwing something...

    The Dreaded engine management light

    Are you using Clip or some generic code reader?

    Clio Trophy - One owner, 29k, yours for £23,000 of your finest British pounds sir.

    My point is these guys already have the 911s, Cosworths and CSLs etc. A nice Clio is just one of many to them. As long as these cars are going up in value, even marginally, these guys are happy to just let the cars sit in the garage

    Clio Trophy - One owner, 29k, yours for £23,000 of your finest British pounds sir.

    I think it’s all relative though mate. 23k to some people is pocket change. They read a magazine article which declares the Trophy as the best modern hot hatch etc and they go straight out and buy one. They dont want to get involved in cars with 80k plus miles on them that begin at 13k so they...

    Clio Trophy - One owner, 29k, yours for £23,000 of your finest British pounds sir.

    They are not the original shocks, they are what you would get if you bought a replacement set. Or that's how I read it.

    New purchase

    Definitely great advice. A good specialist will have most issues diagnosed in an afternoon.

    New purchase

    Wiggle the white plug of death in the main fuse box ? Infact, ignore me. If the car is turning over then I doubt it’s that. Like Jon says, crank sensor is a likely culprit
