I had no choice but insure the missus on my cup as it brought the insurance down. Me 22yrs old - 5 yrs driving, 2 yrs NCB, pass plus etc etc. Her 22yrs old - 6mths driving and bloody awful at that and yet I'm more of a risk than her????????

Everyone is always so calm! I'm bricking it thinking that I broken the bl**dy thing already! Got a warranty from the garage I got it from so might as well try and use it. I think I read that the full lock issue is something that Reno will fix, so when the service is due in the next 400 miles...

Had the 172 Cup for a few weeks now. Was taking a very gradual corner on the motorway at about 110mph or so when there was a loud 'bang' and the STOP and exclamation mark was lit up on the dashboard. Obviously I slowed down and everything seemed ok. Was parking in a multi-storey the next day...

172 Cup, 24k miles, K&N, full stainless exhaust, running pretty smooth (as far a I can tell) apart from I think I've noticed that weird noise on full lock- remember someone saying something about grinding something into an egg shape!?! Anyways, as I'm a new owner I'm just after the heads-up as...

I just bought a 2nd hand 172 Cup for £7995. £250ish deposit then £170ish p/m over 5 years finance set up throught the garage and then through black horse. I do end up paying back a whooping £10,500 in the end, but you can't help falling in love now can you :)

Well it's all a fairytale ending anyways as I have quite literally "seen the light!"

But I bet you didn't know I just bought a Cup though did you???? Scoobywhoo......hmmmm, don't remember seeing a cup around Bedford, but then again I'm not around there much these days. Who's this then?

Yep seen it! After booting it and nearly torque steering into a parked corsa last night, I finally saw it. God this car is so much fun! Had a Series 1 Escort RS Turbo and that wasn't nearly as much of a giggle as this little thing. Only thing I'm worried about is that it's french and my old 106...

Excellent! Probably got just enough road between work and the pub so providing it's not too wet out there, I should be able to just about hit 60, brake AND make the turning into the pub car park. Perfect!

In which case, anyone know of a good road in Chester where I can test to see if the light does work? All in the good name of science of course!?!

Just stepped out in the cold and had a quick look and I think it's the little circle bottom left on the rev counter? Looks like it might be a light anyway? Great, so now I've got no ABS, no traction control, ice and slush and snow and now a little light that is going to facinate me until I see...

Right, bought my 172 Cup like a week or 2 ago and I've just read on here that they come with a gear change light? Now admittedly the way I've been driving recently I haven't dared take my eyes off the road, but I really haven't noticed a gear change light. Either, A) mine hasn't got one for...

Just to report back. The only bird I saw in there was pregnant so unless one of you lads has already had your wicked way with one of the hot ones and got her up the duff, then I guess I went on the wrong day. Luckily I live aboout a minute up the road so I'm hoping to develop some problems with...

Just nipping down the dealership now so wish me luck!;)

Suppose I'll just try both and see what happens

Ah right. Guess it's a bit of a "can of worms" then. Problem is, for every ten opinions saying normal unleaded, you can almost guarantee they'll be ten saying Optimax! Maybe it's just one of life's little mysteries then!

Is this the Renault dealer on Sealand Rd. across from the park and ride thing? Was gonna go there at lunchtime today and get some bits for the 172 Cup that I bought yesterday, any ideas on what I might need? Also, as you boys are the experts, will putting normal unleaded in the Cup have any...
