argh god! that says it all

hydraulic thing on a brake disc? i'm sure that discs are like £15 each. my vx220 ones were anyway, so i'm guessing that a shopping trolleys ones are cheaper

Could it be sports cat? Who knows, who cares, no one is going to buy it for that price! :p

power makes noise, not the other way round

ps i'm loving the everyday cow prices

Ha I'm the bloke from the nook, however mine is in slightly better condition than this one ;)

that exhaust is f**king hideous

Might have been me :)

agreed, i saw one at benfield on the felling bypass. rrrrrrank!

This genuinely made me laugh out loud. How could you possibly come to that conclusion? You idiot.

Aye av seen that a few times like. I think there's another 172 Cup but its got white wheels :-/

Aye, near the nook. I've got a 52 reg 172 Cup

Where abouts in Shields are you? There seems to be a canny few CS's here

you need the aux belt too. and its advisable to get a new water pump too, i did.

the white 197 lives at westoe crown a think. its lovely like!

Ha thought it was me there but my reg is BG52 KWE!

99.9mpg? You should be ashamed of yourself ;)

Nail. Head. Hit.

I've found the handling on my 172 Cup to be not far off the handling of my NA VX220 when I had it. Very impressive for a FWD car. However I wouldnt say it owned everything. Bearing in mind it's still a suped up shopping car at the end of the day.

£1.60 from Renault now

Horrendous in what way? Remember these cars are Renault, so don't expect anything mind blowing in the looks/feel department of the interior

http://www.racecarsdirect.com/categories.html You can thank me later :)

I'm more a fan of keeping a car standard, but each to their own. You'll enjoy the Cup no end though, it's great to drive and none of the 'lag' of the V-Tec ;)

People must forget that the V6 has a longer wheelbase than a standard Clio, thus making the gappage on the front arch absolutely hideous.

Hmm, as with 99.9% of all of Renaults cars, I'd wait for the better one to come along...

Hahahaha I thought I recognised the name but I thought it was just coincidence! I sold my VXT to fund a house-purchase so had to downgrade to a 172 Cup. I've no idea how or why I signed up here in 2002 though!

'fraid so.

Seems like a bargain to me. Mileage shouldnt be an issue as long as its got a decent service history.

It's an unfortunate position that your friend finds herself. It would be highly unlikely that the finance company would take the car back, they will just lose money on it so it's not cost-effective for them. I'm afraid that leaves her with very little options in reality. She can't sell the car...

Halfords 5w40 is brilliant stuff. £34.99 for 5l at the moment.
