what did you do in between removing it (when it fit) and greasing it (when it didn't fit)? also - what was stopping it from fitting? there isn't a lot that can get in the way i don't think :)

then i think you need a 2.25 diameter pipe but someone else will be able to confirm 100%

right bit of an update on this, {tail between the legs} basically i got in touch with them about the above exclusions for cups (after no mention of it on paperwork) and it is true :( they categorically do not cover the cups in any circumstances!!!! My car is always listed as a cup when...

yes thats right

what diameter exhaust you running? std or aftermarket?

As above, is it an alloy sump fitted to the 172 ? (dont suppose the fact its a cup matters)

what is the mark fish cat mod?

did you check your oil filter was intact too?

best bet would be Renault - i cant see them being too expensive

i dont see it being a grey area i spoke to the operator and they have all my details to hand, the website could be outdated?

haha good one

i think its a tappety sound

yes they do - see other thread

I have heard that mentioned on here before, i will check the paperwork when it comes through, however its listed as a cup on my current paperwork best bet is to give them a ring i am guessing rather than going off the website

As above, been getting quotes recently on the cup from the usual compare websites - quotes were hitting £1200 ish Tried the specialists like Brentacre, Sky, and Adrian Flux - best price was around £900 Just rang Greenlight for my renewal price - £589... brilliant, i didnt hesitate and renewed...

worth a viewing, make sure it has reciepts for the work he is quoting e.g cambelt

Agreed – if he again decides to have a bad day and takes it further with council / police etc you need to have your “house in order” so to speak with the decat fitted (&insurance) – you get my drift? This is IMO but it would be sensible incase they do any digging. Telling them to fook off...

admiral just quoted me £950 + on the cup...not a chance! and wanted 2.2k on the multicar thing with the gfs car (Alfa 147)

this is also something i would love to do at some point, i will keep my eye on this thread !

should be ok if you grab in the middle :) yeah best be would be to get it jacked up, wheel off and have a decent look

just to add i got mine from Flashplates.com (via eBay) - £7.49 to my door (front & back)

just get standard ones , its not worth a fine etc(see other thread -now locked!) pressed metal arent legal, as soon as you start chopping and messing around with sizes (even a little) you will draw attention to it and if the coppers want to nit pick your car you have given them the ammunition IMHO

stick your hand in there and try to give the spring a wiggle, if it moves at all then something isnt right

did you tighten the wheel nuts up properly when refitting ? it will be something obvious hopefully

when i fitted sportlines to mine they dropped the front a tiny bit and raised the rear a little - meaning the clio now sits much better, ride is slightly firmer and the handling (as always) is brill

I have a milltek on mine, it sits under the bumper but can be made to fit in a recess have a look here http://www.millteksport.com/product.news.read.cfm?articleid=27 its a very good quality system but not much louder than OE

have you not got a decent garage local to you that could look at it?

I am with Greenlight (well Highway through them) and they were massively more competitive than anyone else at renewal time last year (that was on an import impreza though) - we will see what they come up with this year but i have been with them 2 years and they have been brill.

Most people will advise to jack on the sill at the rear to give free movement of the beam - i wasnt happy doing this as would cause damage, you can get away with placing your axle stands on the section where the beam connects to the shell - this still gives up/down movement in the beam. A...

my miltek on my 172 isnt far off OE sound
